Joy Wok Super Buffet

I love going there’re with my family. They have anything from sushi to soups. My kids love this place cause they can eat as much as they want. The inside is nice and friendly and clean. My kids enjoy feeding the large gold fish before we leave.

As many of the other reviews mention, this location is not comparable to the other Overland Park location. I feel like although you see the owners are the same, the cooks definitely couldn’t be the same.
Hibachi is the way to go since they cook what you want, although hubby and I usually share, this time we still couldn’t finish our one shared plate. It could be my hubby took too much to cook =/​
My hubby said the crawfish was a waste that no one told him it wasn’t good he got too much.
I saw a larger section of sushi I believe than the OP location, but that doesn’t mean everything else was wonderful. Sushi selection was edible but not magical that you want more.
The hot plate items such as coconut shrimp, honey chicken, fried rice, green beans, beef and mushrooms, all tasted like any Chinese buffet. Not extremely delicious but edible and since it’s a buffet you cannot beat the price for everything you are eating.
The ice cream reminded me of when Joy Wok in OP first opened, the ice cream flavor was good but the output was not creamy and was like a slushy ice cream cone, edible but something was off.

I ordered the Moo goo gai pan (to go) and it was excellent., could have used a little more chicken but otherwise great flavor! I will definitely be back.

just moved to liberty last month, my family are all big. fans of chinese food. we went there on Christmas eve for. dinner with two cousins from columbia, we didn’t know they have seafood on the buffet that night, when we saw the crab legs we were shocked. it was so good. we all ate a lot. Not only the seafood, they also have hibachi and sushi besides the Chinese food .And.my.cousin loves sashimi, they have them all.
.gonna tell. all my friends about this place. I think they are the true best buffet, i. mean #1 buffet in kansas city.

we went there last night with my family from taxes for christmas day dinner .we all found what we like. we will be back.

This place is really bad, I been here two times and both times I got sick. And I would not come here again, the one at Overland Park is better.

I live in Gladstone, I used to go to mama buffet. But since they closed, I found this place which is much better than that one. Really worth the drive. They have all the seafood and other Asian foods on the buffet daily. I like the fruit and salad over there. It’s always clean and fresh. Also my friends like the hibachi grill a lot. We will definitely go back and try it again.

They have a large selection unfortunately their rude employees ruin that. When I called to make a reservation the guy answered with a hello, I had to actually ask him if it was Joy Wok and to top it off I received a hateful yes. When we were seated we asked to put some tables together being we had a large group, our waitress told us no and then walked off. Then she tried rushing us out by cleaning off the table while we were still sitting there. I would rather go to a buffet with a smaller selection and nice employees than this place with a larger selection and rude employees. The customers make the business, treating them poorly isn’t going to get them very far. I don’t recommend this place and won’t be going back.

Good selection in a nice setting. The food is generally pretty bland … catering to the typical ‘American’ taste for plain chinese type food. Nothing terribly special. Get there early on weekends to avoid long lines.

Awesome presentation! There was a beautiful and large variety of sushi.
I was disappointed that the pleasant ambition couldn’t transfer into the food quality. The sushi was not very tasty, the chicken was tough and the oysters were not so good.
I hope it improves. Could be great!

This place has the largest selection of food of any buffet in the northland of KC as far as I can tell. They have more than just Chinese food. I’d say it’s primarily Chinese food with some Golden Corral food thrown in. Lot’s of meat choices, including seafood. Several Sushi choices as well. Although it has a huge selection, after going there several times, I’ve realized that the quality of food is just ok. Not bad though.

Food is good quality. Primary complaint is that we were told that bariatric patients are treated as liars. We presented a card from the doctor for my wife and were told that they no longer honored those, although they had in the past. This greatly offended my wife, who can only eat a bird’s portion of food. They gave a partial discount, but to be treated as liars did not sit well with us at all. Also, my wife used the restroom and watched as a server wet her hands and walk out without washing. That is a disgusting habit for someone who works in a restaurant. Hence the 3 stars.

Let me start this off by saying, that if 10 people were to eat someplace and all were happy except 1, well that is who will write the review. This is what I think is going on with the review opinions early on for this place. I had great food, great service, a large variety of choices. This was my first time at this place. Everyone I encourage to go and try again if you had bad experience, and new people try it. I would just rack the bad reviews to new restaurant, new cook, new staff. Every one whom I interacted with spoke very fluent. English. I will definitely go again.

Food tasted great but 2 of our party of 4 got sick! I called the health dept who went out and found tons of violations after they’d only been open 1 month. :(They supposedly got things cleaned up but I haven’t been brave enough to go back. It’s a shame because we don’t have a lot of choices for Chinese food around here.

We went at 8ish last night, the restaurant hour till 9:30. But they still welcomed guests who came at 9:20.
The food are pretty decent. They have sashimi, sushi, hibachi, crawfish, and clams. The overall quality is fairly good, since the fish have to be fresh to make sashimi. Heard they have crab legs on weekend, so will update more if have chance.
They are grand opening not for every long so they provide decent food to impress new customers. Give it a try if you around.

The Joy Wok chain is one of the fastest growing restaurants nationwide raking in millions a year. While this location is just getting started, they are still working out their quirks.
The weekend buffet is super expensive, almost $ 20. The lunch and weeknight buffet is a much better deal.
I’ve been here with big parties and had great service, but we came at a reasonable time after the dinner rush. The room on the far right near the bathrooms has about 6 – 8 tables that seat parties of 8.
The food has always been decent when I go. Some visits are better than others. The sushi is always good every time hands down. After their re-​opening, the food has been getting better every time. Would definitely recommend!

No, no and more no.
Party of 6 + highchair on a weeknight with a wait of 5 min, turned 10 turned 15…
The only drink order our server got right was «no drink for the baby». How hard is it to remember water? Really?

We were there on Mother’s Day. They had crab legs all day and did a good job of keeping them full. The food there was just ‘ok’. Pretty much the same as any other chinese buffet. It was really busy and they did a good job at keeping everything full.
One thing I did like is that they had scaled pricing for kids. I like that I paid less for my 4 year old to eat than I would have for a 10 year old to eat.

Party of 8 on a Friday night at 530pm. Figured would be an easy, short wait, as needed to be else where at 715. After being told 15 mins. We waited approx. 25 and went to question. They kept seating 4 top tables all over even if they were side by side, front to back. Had no regard for the party of 8 consuming most of the undersized waiting area. When questioned we brought to their attention two four top tables that were open. They went to look, proceeded to seat us when we noticed a large table for 8 – 10 sitting empty. We had waited for no reason! Waiting area smelled like a fish market. Food was marginal at best, crab legs had been left in water to long and were hard to retrieve the meat from. There were a large amount of very rude people rushing around as if they were never going to see food again. I thought I was in China or Japan.
I would guess this place will not exist in 6 months

Decent variety — one of the fish offerings was very good but the other was very bad. The roast beef and fried chicken were great. I didn’t try any of the sushi — it just didn’t look too exciting. The service was fine — our waitress didn’t seem to understand a single word we said but she kept our drinks full. For the price of the lunch buffet, we definitely got our money’s worth. Overall, it was fine but nothing special.
