Yuck! We went here for dinner the other night and this place was awful! The food had been sitting out for hours… Nothing was fresh. There isn’t a dish that would be worth visiting even if the food was fresh! Foody Goody was much better. Will NOT go back again. The customer service was great and they do serve alcohol which is the only bonus of the place.

Let me start by saying that I am not a buffet snob. I can almost always find things that I like, and often for me that means passing by the breaded, fried, starchy and Americanized«to please the masses» offerings and instead searching out those items that are heavier on the veg and protein. You know, look past the pizza, french fries and chicken fingers you’ll usually find green beans, bok choy, and some kind of straightforward chicken. Sadly, I spent much of my time at Four Seasons walking around with an empty plate looking for anything even remotely appealing and hoping that they would refill the empty seafood platters. There was nary a vegetable to be seen, unless you count the sliced cucumber on the cold salad bar. Then I noticed the hibachi grill. A-ha! THAT’S where the veggies are! But the line was ridic and it took about 20 minutes to get my selections grilled, and then the finished product came out sitting in a thick pool of oil and was basically inedible. Which is too bad, because the guy working the hibachi was SO nice! The way the hibachi works is you grab a plate, load it up with raw ingredients from the hibachi buffet(steak, scallops, shrimp, veggies, noodles, eggs, etc.), then line your selection up on the counter for the hibachi guy to cook for you. He does two at a time in the order they appear, then puts the finished plates on the glass shelf above the raw ingredient buffet. And when they’re done they pretty much all look the same, so you really have to stand at the hibachi and watch your plate move through the«raw to grilling to ready-for-pickup stages» or else you risk grabbing the wrong one in the end. There is also a made-to-order sushi station and they have the seafood visible so that you can see what looks good to you prior to ordering. I took a chance on the tuna and it was fine but both the pickled ginger and wasabi were crazy bland so once again my finished product was just kind of meh. The shucking station is located in the same area as the sushi and hibachi stations, but I only saw the shucker one time and it happened to be while I was on the other end of things getting sushi, so no oysters for me this time. I watched from afar as he shucked a whole plate of them in seconds, snapping each open then dunking the entire shucked oyster into a bucket of water before plating — so it looks like you can expect a clean oyster(provided the shucker is around) at the expense of the liquor. On the whole, the food was all just really neutral and not very good. I would go again maybe on a weekday and see if perhaps some of our negative experience was due to it being a particularly crowded service? The staff was nice and they were working really hard… clearing plates, fetching drinks, refilling buffet items — but unfortunately, as soon as they refilled the«good stuff» it was snatched up by diners who were camped out, circling and ready to pounce. There’s potential here and I’ll gladly update with more stars if future visits warrant a higher rating, but this dinner was a dud.

Four Seasons Buffet is your average run of the mill buffet. I’ve eaten at the restaurant a few times. I feel as though the menu is a tad pricey.

We were impressed with this new restaurant and consider it a step above the former«foody goody’ that it replaced. The nigiri, maki are made to order and were fresh and tasty. Otherwise, the selection for $ 8.99 lunch was very impressive and would make a vegetarian happy. That said, some dishes are average and some delightful to eat. Nothing disappointed us, other than the fact that the waitress didn’t return with our change and we had to request it or otherwise, it would have been a very huge tip.

Absolutely loved this place. Went there this afternoon for lunch and it was very clean and staff was extremely friendly. Good was great! I’m a vegetarian and they had many options for me– vegetable spring rolls are amazing!

The atmosphere and interior is much more cleaning than old foody goody buffet. The food is alright, all the sushi have to order to get it so as the raw oyster most time I find it troublesome have to look for a sushi chef to make some simple California roll. Raw fish sushi is not that fresh taste like frozen stuff I wouldn’t recommend. They do have groupon deal which is pretty good deal 2 adult dinner for $ 18.

I’d much rather write a positive review than a negative one. and having come from the service industry myself, I’d never want to base my opinion solely on one disappointing experience. However, I’ve made two visits to the Four Seasons and both times left feeling less than satisfied. This place was recently renovated(formerly known as Foodie Goody), leaving some old décor and bringing in some new that doesn’t quite blend naturally. Think tiki hut, grand chandelier and blue and orange neon lights and you can start painting the picture. The entrance and lobby, however are far and beyond more attractive than most of similar establishments. My main concern, unfortunately, is with the food. They have most of the usual buffet fare, but the selection feels limited. The taste was really lackluster at best. My main staples are usually pork fried rice, honey chicken, crab rangoons, chicken fingers and chicken or beef and broccoli. The rice was not bad, I actually enjoyed this the most. The honey chicken was not bad, and the szechuan beef I tried had a nice spice to it. The chicken fingers, however, were chewy and tasted hours old. The filling in the crab rangoons was good, but they were greasy and lukewarm. My boyfriend thought the crab legs were pretty good, which is good because they are one of the few places that offer hot crab legs, as opposed to cold. The fried biscuits were probably my favorite thing there, the dough had a good taste and they were perfectly fried with granulated sugar. The service was fine, the host was especially personable and quick to seat us. The waiters were polite and fairly attentive. We did wait a little while for napkins when our waitress could not be found. During my first visit, it was slower and I felt the wait staff was walking and standing around almost to the point of being in the way. I don’t personally like feeling like I am being followed around the buffet, or being watched while I’m eating. This was well-intentioned I’m sure, but just struck me as odd. Overall I didn’t feel this place was memorable and wouldn’t make it a point to go back.

Short and simple: great buffet, huge variety, awesome selection. Chinese food was the best, hibachi and sushi not as good. Place was large & super clean, staff was wicked attentive and friendly. Chinese food was amazing. Best dishes I tried: crab Rangoon, vegetable lo-mein, honey chicken, general tso’s chicken, boneless spare ribs, coconut shrimp. Food was hot and fresh, rangoons were still crispy! Hibachi was more of a stove top stir-fry, not the authentic kind you’d find at a Japanese hibachi restaurant. You can only choose noodles, no rice. It’s a section where you pick a protein; steak, chicken, shrimp– and then pick whatever veggies you want. He cooks it on a flat top grill for you. I honestly wasn’t too impressed with it but if you like stir fry then you should try it out! Sushi also fell short. Although it is made-to-order, it tasted like the kind you’d buy to go at a supermarket. The rice lacked moisture and the sushi had kind of a fishy aftertaste. I would definitely recommend coming here for the Chinese food! If you are a hardcore sushi/hibachi fan you may be a bit disappointed.

Woah Nelly! Probably the best Chinese buffet I’ve ever been to. I’ve been here before when it was Foody Goody and wasn’t a fan. They closed and this place reopened a bit later. I was a bit tentative of going, but the Unilocal reviews and photos looked good so I decided to try it. My family and I went on Christmas Day and it was busy. Upon entering, we were taken away with the beauty of it! Gorgeous! We were welcomed and seated quickly. Our waiter was waiting for us at the table. We went straight to the buffet and were not disappointed! Made to order sushi(27 choices!!!), made to order hibachi, shucked to order oysters and clams, and the food from the buffet was excellent! They never ran out of anything, INCLUDING crab legs, and the food was fresh and tasty. We paid 14.99 and it was worth every single penny. We’ll definitely be back.

I was sad to see foodie go, but was pleasantly surprised with what replaced it. The inside is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the staff is friendly. The sushi is made to order, and the habatchi grill had a wide selection. I will be coming back to continue over 5 years of eating in this building.

A great variety of foods. Sushi is made on request with many choices. Predominately fish but does have chicken, pork, and beef. Probably not a good place to go if you are allergic to fish. Reasonably priced.

The food was surprisingly made and prepared much better than most buffets. The prices are absolutely fair for what they are serving. The sushi is freshly made upon request at the station where sushi and hibachi is made. Waiting staff is polite.
