My god, if there's anything that's better than a buffet restaurant, I don't want to hear it. Ever since I went to my first chinese buffet restaurant, I've been hooked since. Today I stopped by at an asian buffet and here's what it offered.

$5.49 Dine-In Lunch
$.49 Soft Drinks, UNLIMITED REFILLS (Special Summer deal, started today and I shit you not.)

Entrees include but not limited to:

- Assorted Sushi
California rolls w/ salmon roe, red snapper, inari, fatty tuna
- Pork Dim Sum
- Other Assorted chinese entrees
- Baked cheese-topped crab (

)
- Pizza (lol)
- Full salad and dessert bars.
- Do it yourself soft serve station
- WAY MORE

Me, my mom and my younger sister, alltogether less than $21.

So Bemanistyle, your mission is to share your best buffet dining experiences and what they had.

BEGIN!

I wish there was an asian buffet around here. Probably is, but I don't know about it.

Only one I've been to is Hometown Buffet. Generic buffet, but it's good.

I loved going to Chinese Buffets before I moved out of the country. There was a swanky place where I used to live that had a really good buffet for $6.50 (i'd never drink pop, just water). Sushi, fried rice, chicken teriyaki, all sorts of tasty goodies, I loved it all. The thing that really sucked was that if you didn't get there early, you'd have to wait 30 minutes or so for a booth, it was that damn good. Of course, I could only eat about two plates, and that was it for me. The food was delicious, and in a world of restaurants that make me sick to my stomach, that was the one place that never did.

there used to be this bitchin venue at the mall called old country buffet and they were probably the cheapest and best buffet around. my family ate there practically every week :9

but then they closed and now all we have is the chinese buffets and luby's :<

If you've never eaten at a Todai Buffet you haven't lived. All you can eat sushi (over 50 different kinds). All you can eat Japanese hot foods (yakisoba, teriyaki, tempura, udon, etc.). Crepes and desserts of all sorts. Of course, my personal favorite; All you can eat snow crab legs, lobster claws, oysters and shrimp. This place is heaven and all for about $25. It's a little expensive, but considering the amount and quality of food you can get it's amazing.

I have "lived" many many times, and by God, I have lived VERY well.

And I know it's not Japanese, but their crepes are ahhhhhhhh....

I go to Todai if I want to purge my insides.

After eating the sushi in Japan, I have lost my taste for most of the sushi here in the States. . .and that mascot SO looks like a condom. . .

Back on-topic. . .

The best buffets, unfortunately, cost an arm, a leg, and a Play-Asia IIDX controller to eat at. However. . .Plumeria Cafe (Kahala Mandarin) has the best bread pudding ever, while the Oceanarium always has an awesome fish dish.

The buffet at Pagoda is pretty good for a family gathering buffet (I think it was over $10 a person). I remember them for their rainbow jello.

I can't eat at most Chinese buffets, for I am horribly allergic to MSG.

Erm. . .does the Pizza Hut buffet count?

EDIT - Ah. . .my hips are 37"? I don't know about fat people and buffets, but. . .

As long as you've got Kaga-san's famous pose for an avatar, I'm always here.

Except for now, I gotta....umm......drink some turpentine.

The Oceanarium in Waikiki, Hawaii? Yeah, we did their weekend brunch. Great buffet indeed! My favorites were crab legs, shellfish (clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, but unfortunately no lobster), a fried pig with very crispy skin, seaweed salad, bacon, fresh pineapple, pumpkin pie, and guava juice (yes, juice is included). It was about $25, but totally worth it, and the huge indoor aquarium with the sting rays and other fish were cool (no, I didn't want to take my revenge on the sting rays for the Crocodile Hunter's premature demise). I heard there was a lobster buffet there on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, but that just didn't work for us.

Speaking of lobster buffets, the one in Orlando, Florida is very good. All the lobster you can eat for something like $26. The clams were also very good.

there is one in ann arbor

and man, the best part about a chinese buffet is nanners and sauce.

There are like....93823984 Old Country Buffets around Minnesota. They're everywhere in the Twin Cities. In fact, there are at least 3 of them in equal distances from me. I love those places.

Khan's Mongolian BBQ is freaking delicious. Mmmmm all you can eat bowls of lamb.

What. The. Fuck. Did you learn to read dates in school? 2006 comes AFTER 2007. Way after. Stop resurrecting dead threads and at least put some sort of effort into your post other than "lol a fat guy was there."
