I used to come here with my girlfriend and her young child maybe twice a month. Our last visit was Dec 28th. We had some food, and when we went up to get a salad, we noticed brown and black specks all over the lettuce. Upon further investigation, we discovered it was mouse feces. I took it upfront, explained to management and he argued with me. I tried to explain quietly what was happening, and it was to no avail. I will absolutely never go back.

This place is the quintessential Chinese buffet – lots of choices, lots of people, and cheap as hell. It’s only 7.99 for lunch and dinner will set you back a whopping 10.29. You don’t have to ask me twice to come and gorge myself with these prices, but you might have to ask me twice(and after a moment deep in thought) if I would absolutely recommend it to others. The answer is an unequivocal it depends. What I mean is what are you looking for? If you are expecting high end buffet dining well look elsewhere. If you want good food for a very reasonable price then this is the one. If you’re looking for dishes that are flavorful and memorable go to Philly a short drive away but if you want greasy Chinese take-out goodness then by all means come here. Their sushi is also not that bad although I do get the occasional«fishy» smell which is unappetizing but then I just remove the aftertaste with some Chinese donuts and cheese wontons so overall it becomes a good day. If you’re in the area then don’t hesitate to stop by. If you are hungry well then even better. If you’re not that starving then take a pass and look elsewhere for some food. I guess I’m hungry every time I pass by Cinnaminson ’cause I always tend to end up in this place.

This Buffet includes 14 tables where the variety of food seems endless! Have everything from; a Sushi bar, Chinese food, pizza, to Hibachi station, to a desert table, and more! Can’t go wrong! Good Food & Great Prices! And if you don’t feel like eating in and stuffing yourself, feel free to get take out so you can stuff yourself at home!!! Place must be good, as I recently bumped into my Family Doctor there with his family pigging out! So I guess it’s officially«Doctor Recommended!!» Have to admit the place seems to always be trashed, mainly because it’s always crowded! The dining areas where you sit seem to be of the smaller size, as most of the Buffet is the 14 tables of food in the middle of the restaurant! Unfortunately most of the help seem to be very overwhelmed & some don’t speak very good English, so if you ask for a drink and it never comes, you know why! Overall the décor of the place is really neat, makes one feel like you are in China! I really enjoy the huge fish pond with live fish when you walk in! Overall a Great buffet, highly recommend! Bring the family & all your friends!

Once seated, our waitress had refills coming immediately, as soon as we were done with our plate she would remove it. The cook bar was great. The buffet was amazing. All different kinds of food, fruit, dessert and the sushi bar was SO good. we are def going back for more!

I’ve been to the Hibachi Grill of Cinnaminson nearly ten times in the last 3 years. As far as buffets go, it’s one of my favorites. Now when you make the conscious decision to go to any establishment that prides itself on eating as much food as you can stuff inside yourself, you’re throwing most of your usual standards out the window as you walk in the door. Now when you first walk in, you’ll notice it is a huge area with a few different seating sections. I believe there is a private dining area, as I have never been there. Once you get your table(never had to wait for over 5 mins) you’ll order drinks and go on your way. I have never had a problem with the cleanliness and I can’t speak for the behind the scenes preparation as well. The selection of what you can eat is endless. When choosing a place to go, my main selling point is that they have everything you could ask for. There’s a hibachi section, an American section(fries and pizza), a Chinese section, a Japanese section, a fruit section, a seafood section, a dessert section, and even a whole ham just sitting there. My favorite part is the sushi though. It’s not high quality, but it’s good. If you want to be frugal, after eating 2 rolls(12 pieces), you’re already getting your moneys worth. I load up on the sushi in the beginning and at the end when I am nearing my disgusting limit. If you’re in the wrong place and actually want quality over quantity, try Yokohama! The only issue is an issue with the some of the people that come here. The parents think they’re at Chuckie Cheese and let their kids run around unsupervised. Now for all this food, you and a buddy(or a girlfriend that won’t judge you on porking out) can get dinner for about $ 25 or lunch for less than $ 20. They have coupons for $ 6.25 lunches and $ 9.25 dinners with the purchase of soft drinks. In the end, it’s not a bad way to try a lot of different food for a low price before a long night in the bathroom!

Stop reading this and go there now! Ok ok here is why I go. 3 tables just for sushi! Restaurant quality sushi. Sushi you’d pay $ 10 a roll for. They even let you take as much as that spicy orange sauce as you want(sorry I don’t know what it’s called). Cocktail shrimp awesome! Raw oysters awesome! Clams in oyster sauce awesome! Crawfish in a spicy brown sauce, you guessed it awesome! Coconut shrimp that’s more like walnut shrimp minus the walnuts is good. Sesame n general tso chicken better than any take out. Vegetable lo mein is good. So are the mushrooms and string beans. Stuffed crab is pretty damn good too. The price is only $ 25 drinks included for 2 people, and you can usually find coupons for it n local papers or that huge envelope of coupons you get in the mail. Trust me this is the best buffet around. I’ve been there probably over 40 times and I haven’t been disappointed yet. I’d pay double the price and still feel like I got a good deal.

it’s just alright. the first time we went there it was fantastic. i was really impressed. the buffet is HUGE and has anything you could think of. chinese, sushi, hibachi, seafood, american choices such as pork loin, fried chicken or even pizza. i guess when you have that much quantity you start to lose a little bit of quality. some days we go and its great, but other days the same thing you put on your plate the last time, tastes completely different. maybe it just depends on who is cooking that day? the service is great, they are always restocking everything and the servers are very attentive even for such a large place. another downside is the quality of the CUSTOMERS. especially when with a coupon, the price of two dinner buffets with drinks is about the same price as mcdonalds.(lol you would think that would be a good thing…) people are scavengers. when people are literally PUSHING you out of the way or cutting in line just to get a tiny cup of sauce for their mountains of shrimp and crab legs… its just really a turn-off. the really sad part is that i am a young, disabled woman and have to walk with a cane, you really start losing hope for humanity when people act like that. oh, another thing i saw was a woman using a ladle from one dish, to help herself to another dish. people are just ignorant. what if the first dish contained peanuts or shellfish, and the next person to eat from that dish was allergic to it and died? the restaurant would be liable and the first woman would just go on being ignorant. smdh. anyhow… all that being said. its still just alright. if you are prepared to deal with scavengers, then there are a lot of options that are pretty tasty.

It’s your typical Asian Buffet fare. Nothing to write home about but OK for Lunch during the work week. We don’t suggest going there on weekends or Friday nights as the place gets mobbed like a cattle barn and the experience during this time-frame is every bit like being stuck inside one as well.

It’s understood that buffets typically do not offer high quality food. Nonetheless, I have been to some Chinese buffets that are decent and good enough to make for an enjoyable meal and experience. This buffet was inedible, period. Never have I been to a buffet where every single offering tasted terrible(primarily due to the horrendous quality) and the service was poor. It’s deceiving because you walk in and there is a huge offering, but the flavors and the quality are simply atrocious. I also felt sick for days after the meal(I ended up eating about 10 pepper shrimp and 2 clams). Bad move on my part. This is the first restaurant review I have ever written because it was that bad.

The food is okay. There’s not much you could eat over there that is actually good. When the Lobsters came out, the cook saw how much i was taking and yelled at me for taking too much. Sorry, I though this was a buffet and it was all you could eat. Only good thing about the place is that the price is cheap. Wouldn’t recommend eating here. I would rather eat at McDonald’s that is nearby.

The food was decent for a buffet HOWEVER the bathroom was a disgrace. The trash cans were overflowing with used TOILETPAPER. There was urine on the floor in two stalls and feces on the seats. There was a sign on every stall to not flush the tp. Absolutely disgusting!

For a $ 7 lunch buffet with the options they offer? You really can’t complain. You get good table service, a huge space, tons of options, and things are never empty. Is it the best quality throughout? No. Is some stuff(particularly the sushi with fish on the inside that you can’t see) sketchy? Possibly. The fried dishes a complete pass? Mostly. But, are there some sweet finds throughout? Most definitely. I found the roasted and grilled porks to be among the best dishes there. The hand-dip ice cream has good selections. The seafood dishes? Can’t say to go for these, as none I tried were edible. There were some nice whole grilled fish… I didn’t get any. Clean bathrooms, outlets along the walls, and a solid option if you’re with some picky eaters, or a big crowd. Do I need to go again ever? Nope. But not mad at having experienced this place.

The best Chinese buffet in Southern New Jersey. I’ll drive from Ocean County(about 75 minutes) to eat there. The food is delicious and fresh, the selection is great, and their prices, both for take-out and dine in are dirt cheap. Sushi and grilled foods are spectacular and if they have the crab cakes, they’re a must. Not sure how they pull it off, but I hope that they are there for a long time. Worth the trip from anywhere might seem like a cliché, but in this case, it’s accurate.

Best Chinese buffet I’ve ever been too! Great food and lots of it, everything is turned out very quickly so not waiting for stuff to come out. The hibachi is always cooked just the way you ask and the staff is friendly and always quick to clear away plates and fill up you’re drink. Sushi is very fresh and made right there in plain slight of the you.

Its a buffet… with that said, its probably the best one around. They have alot of variety, the food is turned over frequently and the grill in the back is pretty good for«buffet steaks and pork» It’s also one of the cheapest buffets around too. Not bad if you’re in the mood for Chinese food/buffet.

I had lunch here yesterday(7÷14÷14) with my grandfather. We walked in and were not greeted by the 2 teenagers working the hostess stand. They were thoroughly transfixed by their cell phones. The girl who seated us practically sprinted away from us, which normally I wouldn’t care about, but my grandfather has great difficulty walking even short distances. Perhaps she would have noticed this if she had looked up when we walked in. The food is less than mediocre but you can help yourself to as much as you want. I saw food on the ledge where you put your plate while you serve yourself that was placed back into the buffet container it had come from. I had a cup of the wonton soup which was good. Although it was difficult to cut to the dumpling with just a spoon — we were only given a fork and a spoon. After the soup I tried the fried dumplings which were good, and General Tso chicken which was not good. Our waitress was likely very busy because I never saw her to ask for a refill on my drink, and by the time she asked if I wanted another one I was finished eating. I passed on the desserts as nothing looked appetizing. My grandfather did like the cookies. Instead I had some fried donuts which were good but I would have liked more sugar on them. As we left, we found the same girls at the hostess stand texting away on their phones. The girl who seated us actually had her leg propped up on the stand. They said nothing to us as we left.

Recently stopped in and was disappointed by some issues. First, the guy at the make your own hibachi grill wasn’t very pleasant. He talked on his blue tooth device the whole time and coughed a few times into the air. When he put my plate of veggies on the grill he walked away and only came back to shuffle the veggies once, then pointed and grunted about what sauce I wanted. Second, I really started noticing how this place isn’t taken care of. The carpet is dirtier than you think. In one area they put new carpet down and it was a million shades brighter than the older carpet. The booths are mismatched and torn up. It sorta made me feel bad for going there. I don’t know. It all just left a bad taste in my mouth. Pun intended.

I took my family here for dinner on Christmas Eve. Seven adults and three children all ate for just over $ 100, including a 25% tip. It isn’t fine dining obviously, but the quality of the food was as good as any other Chinese buffet that I’ve tried. The place is very large, and has a wide selection, including sushi, grilled meats, and the ever popular hibachi dishes, where you select your own ingredients and the chef cooks it right in front of you. Almost everything I ate was good, and I was especially surprised by the very tender and juicy roast pork. I’ve had roast pork at other buffets, but it’s usually dry. Not here. I didn’t even need a knife to cut it. This pork was so tender if reminded me of my grandmothers pork and sauerkraut(minus the sauerkraut, of course). One reservation. The calamari was tough and chewy, which isn’t really a surprise when you’re dealing with a buffet. Part of the problem was the size of it, but also, calamari needs to be eaten soon after its cooked, and leaving it sit under hot buffet lights is not a recipe for success. Still, I’m a fan of calamari, so I had to try a couple of rings. Setting the calamari aside, everyone in my family was happy and seemed impressed with the food. Everything was hot and fresh, and the service was very friendly. We will definitely be going back.
