Best Buffet

"I’ve always seen Best Buffet off North Point since we moved to the area but was also skeptical. They recently relocated off Merritt within a shopping center and we decided to check them out. First off, I know it’s newer but it was very clean which I can personally appreciate!! Second, the staff are friendly and I love that the decor inside is all a piece of the owners daughters work! Here was the best part, it was one of the customers kids bday and the staff came with a piece of cake and sang happy birthday to him! I don’t know many other buffets that do that. In terms of the food, nice wide selection ranging from sushi, soups, Chinese, American and teppanyaki. At the Teppanyaki station, the cook, cooked each item individually which was nice bc everything cooks at different pace. He then folded the egg & all the other ingredients in together. The sushi was a little lacking. Given there was only one person but most of the options has crab meat and cream cheese. I do wish more raw options were made available. The other fried foods could use a few more seconds in the fryer as it seemed a little underdone. The Rangoon in particular could use a bit more cream cheese and maybe fried more in a triangular shape than a pocket pinch shape as that left the top super crunchy to the point it also cut the roof of my mouth biting in. Lastly, the cost… for two adults drinks included !!! Came to $42 before tip. Not bad!"

"TLDR: Decent Chinese buffet. Very clean and well laid out Has all of your standard Chinese/American fare. Sushi was severely lacking selection but hibachi was above average. Vibe: 5/5. Now located in a strip mall on Merritt Blvd, Best Buffet has a new look compared to their old location off North Point. The restaurant is brand new, with the entire facility sporting modern amenities and clean from head to toe. Both booth seating as well as table seating is available for larger groups. The buffet area is laid out very thoughtfully. There are 8 buffet stations as well as the sushi and teppanyaki counters. Bonus points for them having a whole condiment bar for all your sauce needs as well as soy sauce at every table. Staff: 5/5. The entire staff that we encountered at Best were great from start to finish. Upon arrival, you are greeted at the front counter and you must pay first before being seated. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to our table for drinks and removing dirty plates. While, we were dining, we watched the staff celebrate another customer's child's birthday with their own personal cake with candles and sang. Definitely a nice touch, especially for a buffet Food: 3/5. Unfortunately this was the biggest miss for Best Buffet. While the hot food selection was decent, including all your usual suspects such as General Tso, beef and broccoli, dumplings, soups and American food, I felt there were significant missed opportunities in the sushi department. During my Wednesday night dinner service, the sushi bar was never fully stocked and mostly consisted of various renditions of California Rolls. There was only 1 time where I had any maguro or raw salmon sushi/maki. They had a staff member manning the sushi bar all night, but constantly turned out cooked rolls vs actual sushi. On a positive note, the teppanyaki was very good. The chef did a great job cooking the proteins and eggs as well as seasoning everything nicely. He separated out the steak from shrimp knowing they cook at different speeds as well as used both Sriracha and soy sauce to flavor. Dessert was OK as well, with your standard selection of cakes and ice cream. Overall, for $20 at dinner and $15 at lunch which includes a drink, Best Buffet offers a decent selection for a fair price."

"The food was delicious and hot! They kept replacing the whole dish when near empty and not just filing it in like other buffets! The staff is efficient and super friendly ❤️ Definitely worth the money ! Just plan to leave stuffed!!"

"The Best Buffet: The number one buffet this side of the Mississippi. *Sings* "Be their guest be their guest From top to bottom you'll be impressed. There's Teppanyaki not Hibachi theirs is better than the rest! There's even pizza wings and more...and the more is coming next. They've got soups, salads, sushi it's so fresh I must confess. Their hostess and servers are very eager to impress. Lovely ladies who are kind with golden hearts up in their chests! So when you're hungry don't you worry come to the buffet that's the best!.... BEST BUFFET!!" I really love this place. The level of engagement is amazing. The staff really WANT to be here and seem to have fun. They joke with the patrons.. I've NEVER ever seen that before. That really goes a long way with me! Keep up the good work my friend's!! Much love and respect"

"Great place. Nice atmosphere. Food is great and fresh. Just need a better dessert bar salad bar and toppings for ice cream Also could use a better variety of foods But otherwise great place to go. Way better then the Chinese buffet at East point mall.. I will be returning and recommending this place to others"
