Uptown Buffet

Least favorite place to eat. The low price reflects the low quality of the food. The food looks good but the taste is lacking as well as the freshness, bathroom is horrendous and really in need of cleaning. Better places to eat.

I literally waited for more than 30 minutes at the hibachi grill area, since they were out of beef, chicken, and stir fry vegetables, e. g onions, green peppers, carrots… the cook told me that he’s preparing it, not even a word of apology, or the least bit a smile… I actually took the time to thank them, once they gave me the plate, and was given the look of «just take the plate and go away». The food was very mediocre, chicken wings were stale and overcooked. I had complained about the lack of service, and was offered a measly 10% off bill, which was totally ridiculous, considering the fact that my total bill just took the tax off! This is the first and the very last time that I’ll ever step foot into this restaurant again…

Thank goodness the price decreased. Dinner is now $ 11.99. A lot of options. I enjoyed most of the non-​seafood and vegetable items. Most of the seafood I tried tasted old. Some items lacked flavor. Salmon was over cooked. Flounder was undercooked and bland. Coconut Shrimp was delicious.
Service was good. Quality of food… What happened? :/

they charges toddlers ages 2 – 3 yrs old! seriously??? they cant even finish a single plate. check your receipt FOOD TAX was very EXPENSIVE 12.5%.
The general sales tax rate for Virginia is 5.3 percent (4.3 percent state tax and 1 percent local tax). There is an additional 0.7 percent state tax imposed in the localities that make up Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, making the rate in these areas 6 percent (5 percent state tax and 1 percent local tax).

Not a very friendly place. I ate there once while pregnant in 2014 and came in the late afternoon. It was almost the dinner time transition and a waitress tells me that if I was to continue eating at the table I was at, I have to pay the dinner price! I was appalled since I paid for the lunch price already and was eating still! Never again will I come to this place to eat because of what that waitress said. And their food was cold. Thumbs down for customer service and food preparation.

Been here for buffet on a Friday and it costs 10 $ per person. They do have the hibachi but it’s not great and tasty. I like the hibachi grill better than here as they have more items at same price.

The food is pretty good as far as buffets go. Price is OK as well. I have been going to this place for a while now. When my friends and I get hungry, off to Uptown Buffet!

If you’re looking for Asian cuisine and American cuisine in one, then this is the place for you. It tends to get pack but you can’t beat the price and service. Definitely a Norfolk eatery.

An Eh buffet. I really enjoyed the deep fried sushi and the meat loaf lol The lighting was a little to dark for me. Hibachi area was dark like if they don’t want you to ask them to grill it up for you. They had crab legs and oysters and they look a little sad. It was a little too small for a buffet. Our waitress was great! Kept our drinks full and was asking if we were doin ok and cleared our used dishes right a way.

My boyfriend and I went to fill our tummies and we were impressed with the sushi for a buffet restaurant. Food was good and the restaurant was clean for a busy buffet.
However, once the bill arrived, we noticed the food tax was incredibly high 12.5%. When we asked about it to the cashier, the conversation got disgruntled and argumentative ($ 3.60 tax charge on a $ 26.00 bill is ridiculous!) we were told to go to other places and check their tax, and when we checked Google it was much lower and they still continued to argue.
We were also surprised to find they don’t offer military discounts in a military town.
We enjoyed the food, but will not be returning because of the nasty response to our question on the food tax.

Graet place to stuff your mouth with good food the weekends have seafood and the sushi is great fast service keeps everything full great

Most of the reviews already hit the money on this place. Didn’t expect too much from an all you can eat buffet, but was still underwhelmed. Might go back just because the choices for chinese buffets in the area are lacking.

I thought the staff was very up beat and nice. They kept interacting w my son and were so kind.
The food was good for $ 11. Good variety of Chinese. Overall I was pleased w this restaurant and would recommend it for a good buffet style meal.
Loved the baked scallops. Delicious.

A pretty good place to eat, especially if you need to fill up fast. I’ve seen better selections at other buffets. It would be nice if they labeled the various sushi selections. I like to do the Mongolian stir fry but here again the options are fairly limited. Also missing is the typically bewildering number of sauces that go into the stir fry that you can add that you see in other places. The stir fry is cooked in the back– hard to watch. I generally like to watch the process.

I love this place! It’s got a much better selection of different types of seafood, red meat, poultry, and sushi than many other Asian buffets I’ve been to. I usually pay $ 14 for a little bit of roast duck at any regular Chinese restaurant, so I love that this place offers it as part of their buffet. I can’t really comment on the rice or noodles because those things usually stay off my plate, but I definitely recommend this place to meat lovers.
The waitresses are friendly anc good about refilling drinks in good time.

Pretty good buffet. 14 $ for adult lunch. I had sushi and hibachi and an ice cream cone. The waitresses didn’t refill our glasses until after we were finished with the me but its okay. They kept the plates cleared and our table free for the most part. The food was pretty good.
All in all this was a good lunch choice.

Fried rice was so dry it was as if I was eating it uncooked. The sweet and sour chicken had to have been made last night as it was so dry I thought I was eating the uncooked rice again. The only thing worth digesting was my diet Pepsi. I’ve been here twice and today is most definitely the last time.

I was so upset. I just left out because I picked up a plate that had a baby roach on it from the hibachi grill. I showed it to the manager and left out. This place in unsanitary.

I used to come here all the time with my main home girl after a hard day’s work, and this buffett really hit the spot. We were big fans of the the side sushi bar, because it costs so much less than going to an actual sushi place. The chinese food was pretty good too. Their General Tso’s Chicken was pretty good for buffett quality. And I really like the fact that you can scoop your own ice cream; however, with that you have to watch for any little kids that may be there because they’re not the cleanest, but that really goes for any buffett you may attend.
The only thing I don’t like is that the waitresses seem to glare at you the whole time while you’re eating as to make sure you leave them a tip. One time as me and my friend were about to pay up front and sign over our tips because we had no cash, they stopped us and asked why we didn’t leave anything. That was very offputting and they almost didn’t get a tip because of it.
All in all though, if youre looking for a good place to get a fillining and cheap lunch, this is your spot! Happy eating! :)

It’s a buffet not a gourmet meal what do you expect.
As buffets goes it’s okay a very typical Asian type buffet.
Mostly Asian food some American food and crab legs.
For the price you can’t go wrong, i’ve paid a lot more and a lot less choices.
Quality not bad but again it’s a buffet you get what you pay for it’s not top shelf and it’s not lunchroom cafeteria food.
Service not bad always got my drink full and cleared off plates in a timely manner.
