York Buffet

wings are good Thi chicken spoiled hitbitchi chicken fish taste evrthing is gross i only eat the wings and leave nothing changed since they first opened

Stopped in today for the first time on a whim right when dinner buffet was starting. The selection was plentiful and filling. For a buffet place, it was actually very clean and fresh. Lots of crab legs, seafood, and Asian fusion paired with a cold bar. The sushi was fine and they had lots of soups. Was suprised with the dimsum and Korean bbq. The stuffed shrimp and crawfish tasted weird like it was overcooked and mushy. The waitstaff were very pleasant and nice as well. $ 29 for two people with tip is a steal. Good price and decent quality, but a step below more higher-​end buffets found in vegas and Brazilian steakhouses.

The food is great n the area of its location is convenient, but the waitress treated me as if I don’t belong in this place, not cool

I like this place… nice selection for lunch. Keep your eyes open around 2 pm they start switching over for dinner so the options change.
Food seems fresh and there is a nice selection of ‘clean eats’ if you are trying to watch your waist line.
All the dishes I tried were nicely flavored/​spiced.
Look for the pineapple/​coconut custard ‘thingy’ in phyllo dough… YUMMY good.

I have eaten here often but today had a horrible experience, there was actually mold on the food and when I made them aware they didn’t even take it out! Makes me wonder what’s going on in the kitchen, needless to say I will not go back here again!

We read the reviews. This place is really good. The selection is very good. Lots of seafood, beef, chicken dishes. Everything is fresh and tasty. Lots of raw choices. Sushi, half shells. Great salad bar. The desserts are slim but after everything else i didn’t really care. We will definitely be back.

I’ve had worse! Honestly, the food isn’t all that bad. Your typical Chinese American buffet choices.
I like to take advantage of the hibachi grill, always fresh and tastes pretty good.
I love sushi and they have some here, but not much of a selection and nothing is labeled so often you don’t know what you’re getting.
My big issue with this place is the service. Our waiters/​waitresses are usually pretty good, they keep drinks full and clear plates. But the last time I was here, if I wanted something made on the hibachi grill, it was as if I was bothering him. Same when I asked for a sushi roll to be made (same guy doing both). Never a smile or a «you’re welcome». If you hate your job, quit, but no need to take it out on customers.
Needless to say, I won’t be back. There are other options in York and Lancaster if you don’t mind the drive.

I don’t understand why there are so many negative reviews about this place. Maybe it was bad at the time, I don’t know. All I can say is that the prices are good, the selection is good and as far as I could see, the place was clean. What else do you want? They have a small selection of sushi, and a BBQ Grill. Buffet price was under 8 bucks.
I have learned to ignore most of the terrible reviews I read. It’s a shame. I don’t know what people are expecting for an $ 8 buffet.
I like it, and recommend it.

This place is excellent. The food is great. There lunch price for all you can eat is very reasonable. I’ve tried other buffets around York, and this is my go to when I want Chinese.

I have tried this restaurant twice and both time very disappointed. The food is gross!

This place is too crowded, too noisy and the staff is rude. My last visit there, an employee cut right in front of me, actually pushing me aside to refill one of the buffet items. The food is not the best buffet food around and I’d prefer to go elsewhere. The price is also higher than my preferred buffet. I really can’t recommend this place.

I agree, don’t go! I tried three kinds of chicken dishes. All tasted the same, and flavor seemed to be masked with what resembles the flavor black jelly beans have. General sos included, was not spicy. Food appeared to have been in buffet a while.
People returning to buffet with original plate, and after a big group left all they did was wipe table down with a damp towel.
We won’t go back. ICK!

I am not sure where to begin here, do I discuss the taste, quality or service. The food was very bland in my opinion. My stir fry was very watery and bland. The sauces used on it seemed very watered down. My potstickers were crunchy and also bland. My general Tao’s chicken was very mild and soggy. My egg drop soup was surprisingly bland as well. This may be par for the course though.
I never was offered a refill on my drink though it was empty for quite a while.
I was billed for the dinner rate though I came in before the dinner rate started. The dinner food was not available until I left. Not too happy about that.
All in all, I will never be back. There are so many good Chinese options in York that this doesn’t compare with.

Yikes. York Buffet is the smallest, dirtiest and most disgusting buffet I have ever eaten at. I’m not much of a buffet fan to begin with but this was just ew. Stopped in for lunch and it wasn’t very packed. Understandably so, that the food tasted as if it had been sitting there for hours untouched. All the food was practically dried out, the General Tso’s could have almost passed for a nasty Orange Chicken and the sushi rice was crusty and had a very fishy taste. Overall, I think the price I paid was far more than I would have ever wanted to give to this establishment.
Locals always praise A-​Won Buffet and I am sad they went out of business, before I got to try ti out. Let’s just hope that whatever opens in that space, will deter people away from this place and give them a taste of something that actually resembles Asian food.

best food in town，they got large selection. i usually go there with my friends like twice a week

Came here while visiting a friend in the area and this place was more than acceptable. Decent selection of food but sub par sushi.

Customer service leaves very much to be desired. Food could have been much much much better, especially for the price. It was a bit pricey, but if the food was good it could have been justified. We visited this place only because we were staying at the nearby hotel and the hotel had a flyer in the room that offered 10% off. I wish we had not gone here. Moreover, I wish I had visited Unilocal prior to going. Had no idea someone had posted a pic of the restaurant being closed for insect/​rodent infestation in november 2013. Yes, that was several months ago, but still… Not a place I will ever return to.

Incredible food selection — including sushi. The price is low, even for a buffet. This is by far the best buffet in York. My family eats there whenever we’re in the area.
For those on a diet, you can stick with the sushi and other healthy entrees. The choice is incredible!

There is something about going to a place where the people there are usually self indulgent, over weight and just there to stuff themselves silly without a care in the world. I often try to stay away from a place that offers a food orgy for a reasonable price. I am usually suspect of a place that can have such an array of food for the prices offered. I also wonder about the amount of people that are needed to eat constantly in order to ensure the freshness of the food displayed on the buffet.
I have found that the times I have been here there is a crowd and the crowd seems to dictate the freshness of the items on the food bar. The food goes quickly and the items offered are pretty tasty. I do like the wanton and hot & sour soups offered. They also have a section where you can create your own dish Mongolian style. There is a large salad and fruit section with a dessert bar as well.
I am not a fan of buffets but this place is pretty decent for the price and the quality seems to be pretty good.
If you are in the mood for a decent Chinese buffet, check this place out when you get the chance.
Thanks for reading my review. Please remember this is my personal opinion.

Typical buffet. Okay food, but a little pricy for what they offer. The interior looks great. I can’t say that about all the people that work there though. There were a couple people working there with what looked like dirty hands. Such a turn off when eating out!
I went with a friend in between lunch and dinner times and I must say that they were doing a booming business. Maybe that’s unusual for this place, but regardless, they should always keep their food replenished. However, they kept running out of the basics (chicken lo mein, General Tso, fried rice) which was disappointing.
I’d give this place a second chance, but I don’t think I’ll rush back anytime soon.
