Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet 58 Newport Avenue, East Providence, RI 02916

"We chose to come because we were craving some Chinese buffet. The reviews online weren't attractive but since this is the only big buffet around the area we decided to give it a go with pretty low expectations. We came pretty late at around 8 pm (they close at 10) on MLK day. There was a sign that said that even if it was a Monday, they'll be charging a holiday price. It's not that much of a difference: regular $15.99, weekends/holidays $16.99. When we went inside there was someone to attend to us immediately and we got our table right away. The interior is very dark. There were very little lights on inside except for the warmer lights for the food counters. We were sat by the windows and requested to sit somewhere away from the big glass windows because it was very cold outside. They happily obliged and told us we can sit pretty much anywhere, which was still cold but it worked. I started with the grill. There wasn't much options but they were decent. The proteins were chicken, beef, imitation crab, shrimp, and there were a bit of vegetables if you choose not to eat fish or meats. I'll say that if you have allergies or strict dietary restrictions, do not go to the grill area. The grill cross-contaminate and they cook everything in one spot. Multiple people's dishes at once. There were options for sauce like teriyaki sauce, garlic, etc. I left it to the cook to choose my sauces and mine tasted decent. 8/10 I got a spicy tuna sushi and some other proteins like salmon. I saw that they were still refilling the sushi bar at that hour. The sushi was bland and the rice was cold. The salmon had no taste, just a lot of salt. I found that majority of the food was heavily salted but had very little flavour, which indicates that they are not fresh. I am giving a fair rate of 5/10 for the hot foods because it was an hour before closing and they might have had only the leftovers left on the counters, but the sushi was a solid 2/10 because they just did not have any taste and it was cold. The ice cream was also pretty much out so I didn't get to taste as much. It was pretty hard to get them out of the buckets. I wish it was replaced more regularly. The ice cream counter smelled like strong bleach though for some reason. The whole time we were dining, the servers were timely in taking our plates away and served us with a smile. Water was served quickly. Everyone was pleasant. By the time we wanted to pay, they didn't ask for a tip at the counter so we gave them cash directly. 10/10 service. The bathrooms were very clean, it smelled like bleach from the door to the stalls, and the floors looked like they were recently mopped. Just a tip, maybe go light on the bleach because the bleach smell was very strong. Otherwise very clean and tidy. Overall if I came back it would be for the grill and service."

"Went for lunch on a Saturday. Had a great time and our server was very good. Even though you get your own food, he was very attentive to clearing dishes, refilling drinks, and over all very good at his job. The food options were a mix of cuisine with the majority being Asian food (a mix from many Asian cultures) with some American and Italian classi s thrown in. Highly recommend the hot and sour soup!"

"Had a good experience there. They have everything in their all-you-can-eat buffet. Seafood, chicken, and beef are all in authentic Chinese style. Muslims can enjoy a good variety of seafood, stir-fried vegetables, and lots of yummy desserts and fruits. Service was fast and friendly. I recommend!"

"Excellent service by the staff. Good food selections from Chinese to American, lots of desserts. I thought the check came a little to soon/ fast as if they wanted to make room for the next crowd. That’s the point taken away."

"This is the first buffet we visited when we first moved to RI and we’ve visited it a few more times. It was pretty good. This time it wasn’t. Very small dessert selection. The food was mostly bland. Definitely would’ve liked more flavor in all the meats for example. The area to the back right, where we were seated, was dark and the floor was slippery. The women’s bathroom floor was wet. It did have a sign but it didn’t look like it was from mopping (unless they really didn’t squeeze the mop). It was gross and getting muddy quickly from people walking on all that “water”. Will definitely be looking for another buffet to take the family."
