Jumbo Buffet

Definitely not the finest Chinese buffet in the world (I’ve hit a lot of them), but adequate if you want a large selection of all you can eat, decent, economical Chinese and American food. Their lunch price is at the low end of the spectrum ($ 6.75 — and a senior discount on request), and they had a number of mid-​range features: some beef dishes, a good variety of seafood, and real ice cream in tubs instead of just soft serve. Lunch featured Shrimp dishes but no piles of plain boiled shrimp, no crab legs, no duck, all of which is to be expected for the price. The cooking is hardly fine cuisine but I enjoyed it. Service was friendly and they want to please. It definitely didn’t live down to the prior horrible Unilocal reviews.
The street address doesn’t pin down the location. It’s on the back (downhill) side of Orange Plaza, between Modell’s and Staples.

I feel really bad for all the reviews the other customers have given. The ice cream may be radioactive, for it bent a spoon somehow and they have absolutely the «best foods ever». The coke tastes like soy sauce and the sprite taste like salty sweat. Both are very unique flavors that I have never tried before. I only grew an extra arm after 2 days of eating from this buffet. Overall, this place is unlike any other restaurant;it isnt as bland and has creative new inventions.

This is the worst buffet I have ever been too. I eat a lot and I didn’t even finish my first plate! Never Again!!!

Don’t expect too much from a buffet restaurant to begin with. This one tops them all in terms of disgusting, never to set foot in again places. How can you mess up chicken & broccoli? Half cooked broccoli in various states of decay.

This was the worst place I have ever eaten at. The board of health needs to inspect this restaurant. Went there with my husband and granddaughter tonight. Food was either cold or totally dried out. Complained to male waiter that I couldn’t eat it because of this and was charged anyway. Owner said I didn’t complain to him. I said I did tell waiter apparently he didn’t understand and couldn’t tell I didn’t eat the food on my plate. Had to pay $ 28.00 for not eating. I would be happy to assist official with following up on my complaint. Can’t even give it 1 star.

BUCKETS OF MUDD COMING OUT OF MY BUTT FOR 4 DAYS! NEGATIVE 5 Stars!
This is probably the most disgusting nasty place I have eaten at in years!
I went here with 2 children under 10.
I noticed some of the largest people in Orange County were here, And after tasting the food I assume they probably wouldn’t care if they were eating from a garbage pail.
In the 45 minutes that I was there, NO fresh food came out, and it was 6pm (dinner time).
All the food was cold or luke warm and you had to scrape the bottom of the pans to get anything.
Everything tasted disgusting. REALLY DISGUSTING! I MEAN REALLY DISGUSTING!
There were no chicken or meat products as listed on the description of anything, who knows what the small pieces of mystery meat were, Cat or dog perhaps OR MAY-​BY ROAD KILL?
There was so much evidence of poor food handling, bacteria and mold at this place I can not believe the board of health has not shut it down.

Buffet is good, decent food. Prices aren’t too bad. Their hot tea is my favorite. Their waiting servers are a little rude though.

Yuck, very dirty and team is unkind. While it is in a convenient location and ohh, a buffet you think and cheap… Little kids put their hand in the food! Ewwww I will not go back here.

Left with serious concerns about the safety of the food here. The ice cream corner speaks volumes. Mold and scum everywhere. Tons of yellowish scum in the bathroom sink too.
The food itself is barely edible. Cheapest quality food. Its really sad.
Watch out for the sneaky surcharge and signs about it when you are ready to pay.
Would not recommend ever. Do the other reviewers not know what food should taste or look like?

BUT IT IS OK, only one kind of pre-​made fake crabmeat sushi, food passable, hard ice cream choices &desserts.i still go there sometimes.

Good food, average taste, not too much choices. But still considerate good for flavor

They suck, never do they put enough food out, and the dinner menu has crab legs, but never puts them out. STAY AWAY

Some OK, some bad food, unfriendly staff, disgusting bathrooms. Boxes of supplies stacked against the walls en route to bathrooms. If that’s how they keep the bathrooms, I hate to think what the kitchen is like. Wouldn’t set foot in here again.

Great spot to bring the kids! No waiting for your food, everyone can find something they like to eat and very reasonably priced – less than half the price of going to a diner. Good quality for a buffet; everything is always nice and hot. This place is always packed so I have to assume the food is always fresh as they go through so much of it. There are plenty of vegetable dishes and the shrimp dishes and chicken skewers are very good. On weekends they kick it up a notch with BBQ spareribs and plenty of seafood and shellfish. My daughter loves the Chinese donuts. There’s always room for jello at the end of my meal!

If I could, I would give this restaurant 0 stars! The waitress’ are rude, and ignore you. The food is barley warm, looks like leftovers. And recently, Ive been getting prank calls from this restaurant. Manager has called me stupid, a bitch, and they refuse to take my number off of their call list. Don’t go to this restaurant. Rude, and unprofessional

First, let me say I have written over 250 published restaurant reviews. This place has to rate in 250^th place. The worst buffet I have ever been to. It has gone downhill faster than skier Pickaboo Street.
The food was awful. The wonton soup broth tasted like tap water. The wontons were brown on the top. You needed a microscope to find any chicken in the Chicken with Broccoli. I even waited until a new tray was brought out. The beef in the Mongolian Beef was like rubber with no taste. The lo mein was greasy. The string beens were shriveled up and overcooked. Despite being a Thursday night, the food trays were empty most of the time. (this could have been a good thing) There was a sign by the ice cream saying «It tastes better on a cone» but there were no cones available.
There were people eating from their plates while still at the food area… very unhealthy and even one person that literally finished his plate BEFORE he got back to his table.
The manager/​hostess was verbally fighting with the chef the entire time we were there. She was also falling asleep standing up most of the night.
The ONLY bright spot was the friendly servers.
I would advise you to try the other two buffets in Middletown but they are also below par.
I would avoid Jumbo buffet at all costs. It was really horrible.

This is not at all a bad place to go — for greasy chinese food. You have to know pretty much any place you go that’s a buffet the quality of the food tends to go down at least one knotch, however at this buffet there are few standards you can always rely on, the fried chicken wings, the soups, the stir fried green beans and the bbq’d ribs they serve on Friday and Saturday. That said, yes some of the food gets to be overly greasy or soggy. Service can range from surly to very polite. It’s a nice place to go when you’re really in the mood for chinese, and don’t want just one dish.

Oh for the love of god why does my family try to take me to this place whenever I go back upstate to visit? Some of the dishes look like jellified meat in soy sauce and whatever else. There is always a packed house with the average weight being 300 and that is the women. I am sorry I just cannot eat here.
