Happy Buffet

This place has definately turned on the upswing for the better. When they first opened it was very good, then slowly slipped into sub par that did not warrant the price. But happily I report that all is happy again at Happy Buffet! The service, cleanliness, and variety has never been in question. Glad to see they are taking care to season and cook dishes appropriately. Yaay!

Every day, time, perspective and personal palette could provide a different rating and review. I rate this eatery based on what kind of eatery it is and not in comparison to say fast food or 5-​star. It’s lunacy to read reviews that down rate places by comparison.
That being said, we arrived for Lunch at 1300hrs in order to miss the lunch crowd, but still while it should be busy enough to ensure good turnover on the buffet and thus fresh food.
We found the buffet well stocked, the warming lamps all heating, and the food warm and palatable.
The sushi is your basic, no-​risk rolls. If you know sushi, then you know that this means basic veggie, cooked, fried, and some Tuna components to the rolls. They do make rolls upon request and they have a book by the sushi station that lists the rolls they can make. The rolls were fresh, being steadily made as I devoured what was there. They were well made and tasted just fine. In comparison to other Chinese style buffets that offer sushi rolls, there were more options readily available and I would comparatively say that these would rate a 5 to other similar Buffet’s 3 or lower rating. Again, this is not a sushi place and these are basic rolls.
The rest of the cuisine was delicious and I would say as good as the best I’ve ever visited fir a buffet and far better than most. The seafood was all quite excellent. The fried chicken wings were good once past the batter. Even when fresh, the batter on fried chicken tends to get dry and hard on chicken that’s under heating lamps that’s either white meat or small like wings. A light stream bath would rectify this issue. However, the meat inside was perfectly delicious, and if you grab fresh wings, then you’ll find the coating crispy and delicious too. I specifically make this comment because there are a lot of folks out there with dentures, etc who struggle with hard or crunchy foods, so they’d love to know to remove the skin first.
The desserts are standard buffet but the ice cream comes in individual serve cups and MANY flavors, mostly fruity sherberts, of which my favorite was the Lemon. The options seemed to make all the customers very happy and that freezer was always a busy spot!
I think the lunch price (see posted picture labeled 31MAR2016) is an outstanding value!
The service was steady and good. Employees were constantly cleaning the tables and buffet.
I found no reason to give this buffet style restaurant anything less than 5-​stars at this time.

This place is nice to have around. The food is your standard Chinese fare, with a sushi bar and hibachi grill thrown in. The sushi is decent and the guys who run the hibachi have a good grip on what they are doing. All the food is kept fresh. There is plenty of seating and rarely a wait. The staff is very polite and cordial. You can’t go wrong with this place!

Great place. For a chinese buffet the food is great, quick service friendly staff. Better than most buffet style. Sushi is good and is fresh

Not bad, but not great. Definitely better than giving my money to the wife beater that owns Dragon House.

The selection here is very good, and service is pleasant. Lots of seating, so never a wait.
The food is a bit better than the average Chinese buffet, but certainly not gourmet quality. Crab wontons are always good, and they have several chicken dishes, including fried chicken and roast chicken. They have two soups, a decent selection of standard salad bar ingredients and a small dessert section.
They also have sushi.
I would probably give them 3−½ stars if that was an option.
