I don't understand why Buffet Asia only has 3 stars. It seems that maybe the people who rated it were expecting some sort of upscale buffet like you would find in the Cosmopolitan or maybe Caesar's Palace?!
Okay fine... Buffet Asia on Rainbow Dr is definitely not upscale or sophisticated. In fact, the interior ambiance looks like an old western restaurant from the 70s. But yo... I'm not here to look at upscale wallpaper or fancy decor. I don't really mind that their ceramic plates are a bit scuffed and battle worn. At least they are CLEAN and the FOOD is good!
No seriously... it's REALLY good.
If you don't know how to navigate your way through an Asian buffet, you might make some common rookie mistakes, like picking up dry sushi or dry chow mein or dry chicken that has been left out under the heat lamps too long. Cmon yo, that's like amateur hour. People who make those mistakes probably fill up on carbs and soda at buffets too! SMH.
CHOOSE THE GOOD STUFF
People who know what's up will go for the MONGOLIAN BEEF, the amazing BEEF RIB SOUP, garlic string beans, salt & pepper shrimp, shrimp/crab w vegetables, broccoli beef, mussels, baked seafood on garlic toast, coconut pudding, orange pudding, creampuffs fresh fruit, and all sorts of other good food choices! There's a lot of food turnover at Buffet Asia (especially on weekends) so you can be sure the food is pretty fresh!
Like I mentioned before, the ambiance isn't the greatest. It's not fancy or stylish or cool.
Definitely don't bring a first date here... but if you are with friends, fam, or someone you've been dating a few years that doesn't need trendy wallpaper and rose gold silverware to have a good time... then by all means!
Come to Buffet Asia wearing sweatpants and GET YO GRUB ON! Can't wait to go back.
