    Best Buffet is a great name for a Chinese restaurant that touts an all you can eat place. For two seniors, the cost was $17 or $8.50 each which is a great price for all you can eat. The quality of the food is good at least for the Chinese food and my husband really likes the usually freshly cooked fried chicken. I prefer the fried rice, egg flower soup, green salad and also the fried chicken. We're both seniors (over 60) and can't eat a whole lot nor eat a bit of everything and we focus on just what we like. However, we almost always have the soft serve ice cream and it's not like ice milk like what most other buffets offer. The cleanliness is fair but not immaculate but then again it's the diners that spill and/drop food everywhere. The staff are very good at removing plates from the tables.

    Many families like to come and feast and no one goes away hungry I'm betting. We usually like to visit Best Buffet at least once a month, more if I don't feel like cooking. There is something for everyone!

    Gotta say... not much redeeming quality here except the fact that it's fairly cheap and includes beverage.

    The only thing with a "hot" temperature was the soup.-but that lacked any distinct flavor and was only ok.  The teriyaki chicken, though covered in sauce is so dry you can't choke it down.  The General Tso's has no spice kick to it at all.   The Orange chicken and the mandarin chicken-couldn't tell the difference.  The rice was flavorless.  Even the rice and noodles were super bland and dry.  The jello-rubbery and dry.

    Just an overall epic disappointment.

    DON'T GO!!! I had thought this place to be the typical all you can eat Chinese buffet and for the most part, it was. Great price at under $10 for an adult with drink, sure I'll try it. The decor was under par but Wasn't so bad I had to leave. They have an ingenious way of restocking food. Along their steam table are sliding windows where they can go from heat to eat... Interesting and inventive.  Cheap good food, so I thought... Was happily eating my food UNTIL... Through the window into the kitchen I saw the cook drop food. He bent over, looked out the windows as if to see if anyone was watching and then... Yep, you guessed it. Picked it up from the floor and put it back into a serving bowl. ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME! I sat and watched him continue as nothing happened until the kindest, most polite, cut server came to get my plate. That's when I told her of my seeings, got up and walked out. Just so happened to have the cook doing something at the register when I walked out. So I said in a louder than normal voice, "hope you wash what you dropped before serving it to everyone in here" and left.
    I highly suggest NOBODY goes here!!!

    Um it's a situation where you get what you paid for. Don't expect a high quality meal when they charge you like $3 a lb for a to go order. I did not eat in. I got a taster of most everything that looked fresh. Except for the white rice. I can make that at home. The place was empty. The lady who rang me up was friendly enough. It was just ok. And because I knew going into it based on the price and the previous reviews that it was just going to be ok, I gave them the 3 stars that they deserve.

    Gross gross gross. Bad service, cold food with no flavor. Skip this place unless you just want massive quantities of cold food in an unwelcoming environment.
