The Tastiest Buffets in Phoenix

Lin's Grand Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (169) • $$

"I visited after church recently upon recommendation from my son who had previously visited with my mom. Th line was very long but it didn't take too long to pay and be seated. We were also served our drinks quickly. They have a ton of options. The food was yummy! I'd definitely visit again."

New China Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (22) • $

"Don't get me wrong, the prices are great, and I'm sure you'll find something you like...it's just that I've never seen food replicated so many times under so many different names. The sesame, orange, and honey chicken all taste almost exactly the same. So do the...like, three varieties of terriyaki chicken. One time, I'd shown up, and there were items that didn't even have descriptions. I just tried to guess based on appearance. It's also severely bland, for the most part. I feel as though every single item could benefit from a clove of garlic or something. That being said, it's super cheap to-go, very clean, and if you fancy dining in, the interior is actually quite nice. I don't really wanna endorse uncreative Chinese food, but who am I kidding? I'll probably come back when I'm feeling super lazy."

Indian Delhi Palace

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (453) • $$

"This Indian restaurant is still a 5 star for me. Here's an updated review since it has been a few years! Did an early Valentine's Day lunch buffet and as always the food was delicious. A few items had a bit of a kick.A buffet is a great choice to try several dishes that might be new to you! There was a fried cabbage dish that I had not tried before. Chicken seemed to be the main meat offering in many of the dishes, so if you want something not chicken related, the main menu might be a better choice.Service at noon was quick and our dirty dishes were whisked away quickly. I enjoy the interior, as there is always lots of tables."

We Ko Pa Resort Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (8)

"With Talking Stick closing down their buffet permanently, we've always been looking for a new buffet that was someone close to us. WeKoPa is not too close, but not too far. We had gone to the previous version of the buffet about five years ago and it was pure trash.I gotta say this new buffet was pretty good! We got there about 2:30 PM and it was opening at 3 PM. Be sure to get your casino card cause that saved us $10 each for my wife and I. It was about $118 for two. As for the food, there was a big selection of your usual buffet dishes. This felt more like a vegas hotel casino in terms of stations. Mexican, Asian, American, lots of meat. I don't recall seeing any Italian, but they also had steamed snow crab legs. I b-lined it for that station. Delicious! The only issue I had was the last couple of crab legs tasted like they were at the bottom of a fish tank.. bleh. Would we come back? For sure!"

China Harvest Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (65)

"The dood was good, the service was good, the place was clean. Reasonable prices. Will go again"

Red Dragon Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3 (190)

"I rate Chinese buffets different that other Asian food establishments. It is usually a case of quantity over quality. I always take that with a grain of salt. For a buffet, Red Dragon does a decent job of balancing the two. Many of the employees were eating the buffet food during their breaks. That is always a good sign that things are on the up and up. Foods that we tried were warm to hot. The only exception was the sushi. That was nice and cold. Multiple buffets ment lots of food to choose from. Food was brought out fairly frequently. Our favorite chicken dish was the teppanyaki chicken. Veggie spring rolls were crisp on the outside. Fresh fruit was ripe and juicy. Ice cream, cakes and pastries are available for dessert. This restaurant is taking cleanliness further than I have seen any restaurant during COVID times. Masks are required. Employees are wearing masks. Disposable gloves are required at the buffet. Glove are provided where the dishes are. Tables were cleaned between visitors."

New China

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (20)

"This place is the best value restaurant in all of Phoenix. $7 buffet. Can't be beat! The food is pretty standard Chinese. And they keep bringing out hot fresh food over the lunch hour. Includes a drink! Wow! Also some decent non-Chinese food options like fries, chicken wings, and fried fish on the buffet."

Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (89)

"This place is absolutely amazing they ave not one two three but five rows of Buffet line for food it's good eating for everyone really nice Ambiance they got beautiful lights up on the ceiling that change different colors."

Lin's Grand Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (379) • $$

"For vegetarian diners seeking a decent buffet experience, Lin's Grand Buffet offers a fair selection. The options includes staples like fried rice, lo mein, mei fun, a veggie medley, mushrooms, green beans, plantains, assorted potatoes, hot and sour soup, and a veggie sushi roll (cucumber, cream cheese, inari/tofu skin). The stir-fry station and salad bar were also options, though I did not take advatange this time around. While edamame was available at the sushi and salad bar stations, I would have loved to see a vegetarian protein option such as tofu! The dessert spread, inclusive of a soft-serve station, as well as cookies, pies, cake, fruits, cream puffs, pudding, and jello. At $15 per person for dinner, the price is fair, considering the amount of options. Certainly cost effective for those that can partake in all aspects of the buffet. The service is commendable, with friendly staff promptly clearing plates. The dining area itself was decent. Clean and spacious, though a very large family was seated right next to us, which made it feel a bit cramped.Overall, Lin's Grand Buffet is a decent spot for vegetarian diners with a variety of options. Again, would love to see a tofu option added to the entrees, but would likely visit again!"

Chennai Fusion Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (301) • $$

"Best place for garlic naan and goat curry. The naan is soft and crunchy with good herb flavor. Biryani is just good, though I prefer it to have a stronger flavor."

India Oven

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1056) • $$

"I keep going back for the incredible food! I normally avoid buffets like the plague, but I set my phobias aside for my love of this place. If you are not a fan of a buffet, you can skip lunch time and try the dinner menu. I do wish the food had more heat to it, but the owner kindly explained to me that the vast majority of the people in America cannot handle Indian spice levels, so they tone it down for their typical Arizona guest. Don't get me wrong, the flavor and quality are still top notch.Some of my favorites so far are the goat vindaloo (not spicy at all), samosas with chutnies, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, and the chicken curry. Service is always impeccable and attentive."

Great Dragon Restaurant

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (35)

"Stoned or drunk? I got the Chinese buffet for you.It's not the most appealing but it gets the job done.Staff is cool, pretty nice and friendly each time."

The Stone House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (170) • $$

Ocean Blue Caribbean Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (354) • $$

"Ocean Blue is the place to go for authentic Jamaican food. The brown stew chicken was full of flavor. The portions are generous. The wait staff was really attentive. Overall a great experience."

Mission Grille

★★★★☆ 3.5 (29)

"One of the restaurant options located within the Mission Palms Hotel. I'm pretty sure this is where the room service comes from too. I had room service twice during my stay and had no complaints there.After finally finding a spot that didn't have bird dropping remnants, I dined in the outside corridor area. I only dined at the actual restaurant once for lunch, for the lunch buffet. The offerings on the buffet were a bit different than what I find on other buffets in my part of the country, but that's common to find while traveling practically across the country. I enjoyed the salad and the wrap station... with options that consisted of deli meat, cheeses, and a few extras. Service was awesome, which can sometimes be rare when you choose a buffet option. I never had to wonder where my next refill would come from."

Number 1 Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.7 (177)

"It was a full house today! No waiting so that was a good thing. We made our way to the sushi/nigiri area. New sushi always being made. As you go around this section, you'll see the items to make a poke bowl. There are also sauces to use in your bowl should you choose. Then comes the separate items such as seaweed salad, squid salad ( my favorite!), pickled daikon and carrots, edamame and so forth. This is probably our favorite section. If that doesn't appeal to you, there's a hibachi area which I have yet to try, dim sum, ribs, BBQ pork, veggies, pizza, soup and salads and desserts. Staff were not as swift getting the used plates. That was quite understandable given the crowded room of people.Something to please all ages. Huge shared parking lot. Happy early Father's Day!"

Hyderabad Rasoi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (115)

"Last restaurant I tried in 2022, and I ended the year on a great culinary note! I don't eat Indian food super frequently, but I do really like it. I ordered on Grubhub and had my husband pick it up for me. He did have to wait a bit past the expected time, but not for a long time. I got spinach dal and 3 piece idly. I had never tried idly before but thought it was really good! I love any kind of lentil dish, and the spinach dal was amazing. Very spicy for me so I had to take breaks while eating it haha but it was so delicious. Really glad I got to try this place and their pricing is definitely affordable for the amount of food they give you! Would love to try something new next time!"

Harbor Seafood Super Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.8 (169) • $$

"This is one of the better seafood buffets in my opinion. Staff are efficient and kind. Food Bins are filled on a regular basis. There is a very good selection of food. We love the sushi and poke area. A ton of different sushi types are offered and continuously made. The poke area offers spicy ahi, salmon and regular ahi. I like the Mapo tofu; slightly spicy and tasty. Several different fishes, soups, stir fry area, desserts, beef & chicken dishes, several large & small shrimp dishes, pizza, fries, veggies. Just about all you want. Come hungry, leave full and happy.They have their own parking lot."

WooChi Super Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (227) • $$

"We were in the area around lunchtime and decided to stop in. This place is in a large shopping plaza along with several other restaurants. Upon arrival, the hostes/cashier was not present. A minute later, she came from the dining room and took a takeout order from the guy ahead of us. I would think that unless there is a wait for seating, you should be seated right away instead of waiting for another customer to decide what to order for takeout.Once seated, our drink order was taken immediately. I was impressed with the size of the buffet. There were more varieties of sushi than most other Chinese buffets. The sushi was freshly made and of good quality. The fruit and salad bar was impressive also. I had pasta salad and spicy cucumbers, which were unique to my buffet experience. The baked salmon seemed dry and lacked flavor. The barbecued ribs were dry and tough, like beef jerky. They had a pork filled bun, which was a sreamed bun with a pork filling. The pork filling was sweet and very tasty. Unfortunately, the bun was tough and rubbery. I wanted to eat just the filling. The other items I sampled were comparable to other buffets I've been to.If I do ever stop on for lunch again, I will make it a sushi buffet."

Hibachi City Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (50) • $$$

"Same nostalgia as always! I used to come here when I was younger and the food was always a comfortable yummy memory to keep. I've gone two times in the last two or three months and they are always cleaning! They are always wiping down the buffet counters and cleaning tables with plates and cups. The food is always hot and warm when I go, they are always quick to replace the food and have someone come our frequently to see what is almost done and ready to refill. The noodles are such a delicious spicy but sweet and savory. I love the chicken sticks and free ice cream cups and soft drinks. I only ever come to this buffet and not Lin's because I had a bad experience with their cleanliness, but I can see the cleaning in front of my eyes. The staff are always great at their job and quick too. Five stars, love this place and will probably come back soon!"

Golden Coin

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (70)

"Finally able to go to Golden Coin again after a long, long time and found the place to be wanting but still having the same simple food and then some differences;1. The place is tired and worn but still clean and serviceable.2. There seems to be more dishes than before. On a Wednesday evening there was Fried rice, Chow mein noodles, Mixed veggies. Saucey ribs, Fried chicken (heavily brined), Spicy chicken wings and Sweet and sour pork.3. Price was $9.95 including tax, CASH. Paying is the first thing.4. There was a lot of carry out. They load the take out clam sheet foam container for you. You can make some requests however it seems that 2/3 will be carbs and 1/3 are the protein items. And that ratio is a full meal for most! (The container was heavy.) 5. I saw the dine in operation. The server behind the counter loads a paper plate as instructed by customer. When the customer wants more, they come back and the server loads another plate as instructed. The visit satisfied my Sweet and sour pork craving. It was nice to have the expanded variety. The price is outstanding as an AYCE or take out. Tired can still be good..."

Eagles Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (238) • $$

"Service was 5 stars. While this is a buffet, servers came by often to fill drinks and take plates. Each person had a smile. We felt welcomed. Food was always plentiful. The buffet was constantly being replenished. Most sections of the buffet have a constant attendant. Food itself varied when it came to the amount of seasoning. Some dishes were well seasoned, while others were bland. At any buffet, I generally get a little of different dishes, then go back and get more of the ones I really enjoyed. There are a number of pre made cold deli salads, or make your own fresh salad.The primee rib was tough and bland. That was my biggest disappointment of the buffet. The salmon was my favorite of the protiens. Fresh fruits were ripe and sweet. Brunch has a mix of sweet and savory items. Funnel cakes were being made fresh. Many of the desserts are two-bite sized. Some are bite-sized. Slices of pie and bigger. This allows guests to try a little bit of a lot. Hand scooped ice cream is also available. I was too full to even consider trying any. There were enough dishes that were well seasoned that I left feeling no only full, but fulfilled. Decor is rich and dark colors. Seating is booths and tables. We were there at the end of December. They were decorated for Christmas. Join the cassino's players club to receive a discount on the buffet."

Pacific Seafood Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3 (447) • $$

"Pacific Seafood BuffetAlways liked Pacific from the times we went in Chandler or Arrowhead.This current location in Glendale is nice and clean renovated nicely with a private room in the back.As for the food, love the Salt and Pepper items - Shrimp, Frog Legs, Crab and Squid.Good selection of BBQ if you hit the fresh items, BBQ Beef Spareribs, Kalbi, BBQ Pork ChopsGood selection of sushi if you are there early.And of course the seafood is good with crab legs, shrimp which ever way you like salt and pepper, coconut, in seafood mix, garlic shrimp, calamari and fishGenerally pretty fresh and tasty with a good price."

Pacific Seafood Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (504) • $$

"Ok ok ok . Let's be realistic , unless you go Vegas , you won't find a fantastic buffet. This place seemed clean enough, the food was warm, it taste good enough, they kept coming out with fresh food. The service is good enough. It was overall ok for the price. Food: 3.5 out 5Service: 3 out of 5"

Lim's Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (132) • $

"I'll go out on a Lim here and say it's my new favorite.We went at 3pm on a Monday, so I expected lunch leftovers, empty pans, and mere remnants of food, if anything at all, but there was a full selection of hot and fresh Americanized Chinese food, including crab puffs and big fat egg rolls. Plus unexpected items like iceberg lettuce and ranch w/ hard boiled egg, vanilla pudding with sugar donuts, a sinus-clearing mustard, and (drum roll, or rather, egg roll please...) the best french fries in the world. Yes, you heard that right. A French fry is a fried potato but these French fries are like somebody fried a French fry. And then fried it again. It's like a Russian doll or Inception. It's like tempura. As in your heart will tempura-rarily stop beating if you eat more than four of these. The place is spacious, well-organized, and clean, even though it seems like a closed, run-down, hole in the wall from the outside. Paying up on entering and self-serve refills make it extra convenient. Plus, we met Lim! That's exciting. That's like meeting Jack from Jack in the Box or meeting five guys at Five Guys. Rice to meet you, Lim!"

Chennai Chettinaad Palace

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (263) • $$

"Note: Door Dash review so only speaking to quality of the food and price. I got the Hyderabad goat dish, and had to also have the garlic chile naan, as I don't always come across this. This place is authentic and I was highly impressed. The curry was extremely flavorful, they used fresh curry leaves, cumin seeds, etc and other spices. The goat was bony, but that's to be expected. The chile naan had real, fresh pieces of Thai chiles all over it, so hot but so good! I ordered another bread which I thought was going to be more like popper but ended up just being more of a naan and they gave me tons of it (4 slices) for about $4. Portions for the price were legit. I'd love to eat there in person sometime."

New India Bazaar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (238) • $

"Go here for their samosas and kachori. It is just $1 each and tastes so good. It is an Indian store with a restaurant at the back as well. We usually go here for snack items including sweets. Never tried food in their restaurant but prices are so damn reasonably here for everything. I would highly recommend this place. Don't expect a very welcoming greeting from the uncle at the counter but they are nice people. The store is small and very congested, however, they have so many things to be considered."

Nandini Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (655) • $$

"Amazing food. The best Indian food in Phoenix. I've tried tons of places and Tempe has the best Indian and Nandini is the best spot. The lunch buffet is obviously amazing."

Blue Pacific Super Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (98)

"Typical, run of the mill Chinese American seafood buffet. A bit larger of a selection than most other places. The price was reasonable for the area. It was just over $20 with a drink for a Saturday lunch. I did like their shrimp dishes and the pepper steak was pretty tasty. Their mushrooms and crab puffs I didn't care for. Hot and sour soup just ok. Didn't try any dessert. Staff are quick on refills for drinks but lack English skills if there's any questions or concerns. Bathroom was filthy."

Hyderabad House Arizona

★★★★☆ 3.5 (210) • $$

"The food when it's good it's great but they do drop the ball sometimes.Even though I love the food personally, quality and consistency are not always up to the mark.The buffet gets very crowded it is the best way to sample different things on the menu.I have ordered my food to go most of the times and had a positive experience.Only wish they would step it up in terms of consistency and giving the same quality of food.Definitely try things from their Weekend specials menu.Cheers!"

Oasis Bay Sushi + Seafood Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (398) • $$

"I'm not a buffet person but since hubby wanted sushi and I wanted dim sum for lunch we decided to try this place. The price is $13.99 for lunch Monday through Friday, which is such a great price. They also give you a 10 percent discount for military or senior citizen! Because the price was so low I really didn't expect much. I must say, I was actually very impressed at the variety and everything looked very fresh. They had a good variety of sushi and the chef was constantly making new rolls. I tried some and it was ok. Is it the best quality? Of course not, but for the price I thought it was totally acceptable. They also have a poke bar. I was surprised to see so many different Chinese dishes- fried rice, two different kinds of noodles and every chicken dish you can think of, eggplants, bok choy, four different types of soups. I tried some shell on shrimp and it was flavorful and juicy which was a nice surprise. I also enjoyed the calamari. They also have a lot of fish dishes, mussel, sausages, clams, salad bar and so much more. The dessert bar had pastries, cakes, fruit, ice cream, and cookies. It had been years since I had an almond cookie and I enjoyed it. The service was exceptional. The staff was very prompt, friendly and cleared the dishes very quickly. If you want to try a variety of food at an exceptional price, this is the place! Just remember it is a buffet so don't expect a 5 star taste. For $13.99 lunch I think it's pretty hard to beat."

Lin's Grand Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (184) • $$

"My last review was in 2018 and was a 3. Since my last visit I must say there has been a definite improvement in the quality of food and cleanliness of the food area.There was also an increase in the friendliness of the server.Bathrooms still suck and the carpet should be thrown out..."

Hibachi Grill Super Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (311) • $$

"This place has improved so. Much from prior years. It used to be fairly average . Recently I decided to try them again. I love down the street and usually drive 15 min to a different one for their options. I went before Christmas with my son who is 22 and after for girls lunch with 3 girlfriends.Plenty of options especially seafood. The salt and pepper shrimp are huge....I don't mind peeling them although it's a pain in the butt lol but totally worth it. Had crayfish here for the first time. I enjoyed their sushi selection they also have a make your own noodle bar. $20 to $25 a person with tip and drink."

Sun Star Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (24)

"Go west for fun adventure and good values. West of the i17 that is.With some convincing I got a few of my co workers to try this place. From my office at 18th ave there are 12 Mexican food places before we reach this lone Asian Buffet.Walk in and you pay $6.50 plus tax for all you can eat and drink soft drinks. Grab a plate and marvel at the eclectic mix of foods, many Chinese favorites, some buffet usuals like the wide mix of fried foods and random jello deserts, and then discover the most out of place and best thing, GARLIC BREAD. For veggie they had bean sprouts, lo mein with veggies, a veggie fried rice, fried bananas, butter potatoes, french fries and fresh doughnuts.They also had a good amount of fish, some type of skin on roasted fish in a butter sauce, a fried fish and fried whole tilapia.I was very happy to see a wide range of hot sauces to put on the food including siraca at the tables, chillie oil and chillie paste.The Booth are very 1986 looking and are well sunken in.Overall the value and quality here is good and none of us got sick afterwards so it passes that key test.. Their last few heath ratings have been all silver, so give it a try!"

India's Flame

★★★★★ 4.5 (486) • $$

"I normally go to New India Gate for Indian food, but as I live in Florence and that's on the west side of Phoenix it's a long drive. I stumbled across India's Flame simply by accident and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did as the food here is outstanding! The Chicken Tikka Masala was super flavorful as were the Tandoori wings. The Garlic Naan was just to die for, and two helpings of everything later and you could have just about rolled me out the door.The staff were all great, and the prices were super reasonable. It's not a huge restaurant so I might get it to go if it's a Friday night or on the weekend, but cold Indian food is never really cold if it's spiced right."
