About Buffet City

Buffet City, located at 1030 58th St N in St. Petersburg, FL, is a buffet-style restaurant offering a wide array of dishes. While categorized as a Chinese Restaurant, reviews suggest they also feature other cuisines, including Japanese sushi.

Many customers have found the food at Buffet City to be great. The sushi is specifically highlighted as being made fresh and very good. The buffet generally offers hot and tasty options, with one reviewer noting that even arriving later in the evening, the food was excellent, hot, and mostly fresh. Dishes like the hot and sour soup and various chicken dishes have been described as phenomenal.

The service at Buffet City is generally considered good, with waitresses being described as sweet and attentive to clearing finished plates. However, one reviewer recounted a minor issue with a drink refill that required them to follow up. Another instance involved a coupon for a free drink that was initially overlooked on the bill but quickly corrected upon being pointed out.

The restaurant environment is reported to be very clean. This contributes to a positive dining experience for customers.

A notable point of feedback concerns the crab legs, which one reviewer found to be overcooked, salty, and difficult to extract meat from, suggesting they might not always be the freshest. However, they also noted that the crab legs are kept well-stocked.

The food here is great. The sushi is made fresh and is so good. The service is great. The only reason I don’t give the buffet a 5 is because the Crab legs are pretty bad. They are so over cooked that you fight for every bit of meat and they are so salty. If you are okay with not so fresh crab they keep them stocked.

So I've driven by this place many times but I never stopped there so tonight for the first time I stopped in and had dinner and I got to tell you this place does not disappoint! Even though I didn't get there until 8:00 p.m. the food was excellent! It was hot almost everything I ate was pretty fresh it was all very tasty and delicious! The hot and sour soup was excellent and all the different chicken dishes that I tried were phenomenal! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the crab rangoon and the egg rolls They weren't terrible but they weren't my favorite but other than that this buffet is absolutely delicious and worth every penny! The service was good although when I asked for a refill On my Dr pepper the girl took my cup to refill it and never came back with it so I had to actually get up and go ask for it lol Also I downloaded the coupon for the free drink with the adult buffet and they still tried to charge me for the drink but when I pointed it out they immediately corrected the bill again that came down to the waitress, Even though she was a little ditzy she was a total sweetheart! The restaurant was very clean, The waitress kept up on all my finished plates, I highly recommend this buffet, I have eaten at the one up in Spring Hill and this one is just as good! I definitely give it five stars and I will definitely return It's now my favorite Chinese buffet! ❤️㊗️㊙️🈴🐲⛩️

Food was terrible I don't know if it was because we came at 8:00 p.m. in an hour and a half before closing but all the food was cold and old. By 8:30 p.m. they were already turning off the heaters for the food which is unacceptable being that there were still people grabbing food. Have gone to many different locations Fort Myers Sarasota and now this one by far the Port Charlotte location outranks all of these locations they sure know what they're doing. Very disappointed

Definitely not any better quality food. (At least on the day we went) It's also super bright in there. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Some food looks like it's been sitting out all day...we were not a fan and probably won't be back unfortunately.

I recently dined at a buffet restaurant that offers unlimited oysters, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious, making it a paradise for seafood lovers. The variety of dishes available was impressive, catering to diverse tastes. The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff were attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience with an abundance of delectable oysters.
