Buffet City

Never ever will I eat there again. Soup, food and sushi were not fresh. The soup looked like it hadnt been stir in a long time. Some of the food in the hot trays were crusty on the sides… that just tells you that it is not fresh… Hot food trays were empty and they didn’t bother making fresh food. The only thing I have seen that came out fresh when we were there was the spicy shrimps, fried rice and Lo mein. Horrible. I should have just make that 40 minute drive down to Aurora for Hiro Japanese Buffet on Parker.

My fiancé and I have just eaten lunch buffet here, and it was laughable. Disgustingly laughable. We bet which site would have the funniest awful reviews on it. Here’s ours:
The sushi is super bland, and they brought a plate of COLD (refrigerated cold) fried sushi out. just no. How do you even.
I’m a fiend for the fried goods, so having had my heart broken at the sushi counter, I moved on to try the spring rolls, crab Rangoon, fried gyoza, and egg rolls. I like sweet & sour sauce to dip and got some of that. Upon sampling, the sweet & sour is watered down!!! :(… the egg roll tasted a little off, but with a good sweet and sour I would’ve chowed down.
The crab Rangoon was sour and I’m scared I’m going to get sick because the cream cheese was definitely bad. everything else was one bite and I set it aside.
The sesame chicken was the worst I ever had.
They have quite a selection of pasta salads. Warning: NOT mayo, some gross plain Greek yogurt or some such…
Rice very dry, and the low mein was so dry I had pieces that were on the verge of crunchy… they didn’t bend when I scooped them up with my fork :/​
The GOOD FOOD: on the far right buffet, there was a small portion of this fried shrimp covered in sweet mayonnaise sauce. That shit was the shit.
Oh, and they only have 4 sad flavors of ice cream. Spoiler alert: no cookies and cream.

Every single time I eat here (which has been about three times) I get a horrible stomachache. It’s nice and affordable, but I would not recommend it unless you like eating old, hard food. I recall a time when I was there for dinner and a little kid was pooping in the corner and no one was around (including his parents). This place is just completely unsanitary.

Exactly what you would expect for buffet options. Service was friendly. Food was good. Affordable place to eat.

This place is disgusting. I have been 2 times and each time the food is cold and old. The soup has a film on top like it hadn’t been stirred, the chicken is stale and cold, the egg rolls and pot stickers are hard, And most importantly the sushi is too fishy and the see weed is impossible to chew through most likely because it’s old! We actually found a piece of long black hair in the rice we brought it to the managers attention and the said it was ours, BTW we are all blonde. They have very few items to choose from.

I would highly reccomend this place if you’re feeling particularly masochistic. Hey, I don’t judge. (except on Unilocal)
If you’ve never eaten here, consider yourself very lucky. I tried this place (foolishly) twice because it’s within walking distance of my office and both times I was not only extremely dissapointed, but I was angry that I had paid for this food, TWICE! Shame on me! From their flavorless sushi to their over cooked sea food there was a wide array of disgusting excuse for something edible.
This food is the worst version of whatever dishes you so bravely decide to put on your plate. It didn’t even smell good. It’s as if they bought their ingredients as they were about to expire, cooked the food and then bring it back out day after day.
I came in once for a lunch buffet, once for the dinner buffet and both times, I hated myself for it, which is saying a whole lot, since I love the ish out of me! I can’t even say I enjoyed the fortune cookies that smell/​taste like dried out play doe. (Don’t act like you’ve never tried dried out playdoe, I would almost prefer if, after having eaten there)
Twice I filled up a to-​go box, and twice I threw away 95% of it.
The lady at the front desk seems a bit scatter-​brained, which I found almost equally as distasteful as their «food».
To their credit, they have a huge dining room area, spacious seating, and this one time I went in there was this cute tatted up white boy (with his ugly gf, womp, womp womp).
Anyway, NEVER AGAIN.

Yeah, it’s OK. Really, I can’t say anything bad so I’m giving 3 stars because the food was just as good as any other buffet out there. Choices consisted of the usual. Chicken dishes, beef dishes, and American dishes for the kids who don’t like the Asian selections.
I will say that the day we went there the sushi was pretty good. And they have a bottle of a light colored spicy sauce which was really tasty on the sushi.
If you’re in the Brighton area and have a hankerin’ fer a Chinese buffet, check it out. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Just don’t expect to be impressed either.

As y’all know, I’m a fiend for Chinese buffets, for some weird reason, probably genetic. And I was thrilled when this place opened RIGHT IN MY TOWN!
Alas, my enthusiasm was quickly tempered by the unpleasant reality that this place, despite not falling to the Brighton service curse, was going to succumb to the Brighton shitty/​indifferently-​made-​food curse.
The main good thing about this place is that it’s not another Mexican restaurant. Large, inviting dining room. The buffet area is spacious and laid out well, you can get your food without being run over by other patrons.
HOWEVER, the selection of Chinese entrees is limited, mostly a lot of MEXICAN/​American items like pizza, hot wings, and taco makings. The Chinese food is standard stuff like beef w/​broccoli, chicken this and chicken that, with very little to offer in the way of seafood. As others have noted, the food sits around until it’s dried out and lukewarm.
We ate here a couple of weeks ago because we both got off work late, wanted something quick. After getting the bill for over $ 21 for decidedly lackluster food, we decided Phở TJ would have been a better choice.

Partner and I went to this place for dinner. This place is a buffet so we tried 2 chicken dishes, pot stickers, egg rolls, crab cheese won tons,. The only prob. Everything was either COLD OR LUKE WARM. The only thing that was good was the scoop of spumoni ice cream. I’m not that picky of an eater, but my goodness, that was just plain garbage. Dept of health should pay this place a visit. i wish I had taken some pics of the dishes. The crab chees won ton were white and so were the egg rolls. They looked old, and they were all clumped together in a pile on the buffet line. Maybe they were sitting there all day? So essentially I paid $ 25 bucks for a glass of Mt Dew and Siera Mist and one small scoop of ice cream. Just bad.

Went today for be lunch buffet. Overall, hit and miss but ok for a Chinese buffet. The place was very clean and most of the food trays were hot and replenished when needed.
The sushi was mediocre and I didn’t like the hot and sour soup at all. The hot pepper chicken, fried rice and lo mein noodles were my favorites. Sesame chicken and honey chicken were ok. The fried shrimp were good.
There were a lot of items to choose from and they ranged from pretty good to mediocre. Service was good and my iced tea was refilled timely.

I ate here back closer to when it first opened, but the food was horrendous then. I tried a little bit of most of the offerings they had and nothing was better than mediocre, with a large amount of the dishes being outright terrible.
For decent Chinese food in Brighton, Great Wall remains the only viable option for now.

A chinese «all-​you-​can-​eat» buffet (with a couple of non-​chinese dishes like Mac&Cheese and other such fare). A standard buffet type restaurant where you take a plate and fill it from various trays in steam or cold tables. It also suffers from the standard problems of such an approach. If there isn’t a large crowd then the food isn’t turned often and you get food that grows either cold or over cooked in the trays. The food isn’t bad, it just isn’t like a cooked to order meal would be.
Sometimes, a buffet style approach is ok, if the food is something that can you can keep in steam table trays for up to 30 minutes at a time and the staff is watching to refill the trays, but not keep they so full that the food cools. It is a tricky process, and it appears that Buffet City is still working on perfecting it, especially on Wednesday night at 6pm when there wasn’t a lot of people in there so turn on the food wasn’t that great. Yes, I liked their lo mein and honeyed chicken, but I’m not sure I’d try their salmon or other seafood.
I hope that at some future time I can update this review and increase the stars, but tonight wasn’t very good.
