About Wan Bo Buffet

Wan Bo Buffet is a Chinese restaurant situated at 36 Forestburgh Rd #1833 in Monticello, New York. They can be contacted at (845) 791-1273 or their mobile number +1 845-791-1273.

Based on recent online reviews, the experience at Wan Bo Buffet appears to be inconsistent. One customer who visited on a Wednesday expressed significant dissatisfaction with the food, rating it poorly overall. They noted that while some items like the General Tao’s chicken, chicken wings, and tempura fried shrimp were acceptable, the majority of the food was either overcooked and mushy or old and dried out. This reviewer also reported negative experiences with the service, including a perceived lack of attentiveness and premature presentation of the bill.

In contrast, another customer had a "very unexpected" positive experience, finding the food to be well-seasoned and fresh, with no bad dishes. This reviewer also praised the waitress as "very friendly and kind." However, they did mention a significant drawback in the restaurant's decor, describing it as needing "some TLC" with old and falling apart booths. This suggests that while the food and service can be satisfactory for some, the environment may lack appeal.

The reviews indicate a potential variability in food quality depending on the day of the week, with one reviewer suggesting that the experience might be better on weekends. The service also seems to have received mixed feedback, ranging from friendly and kind to inattentive and abrupt.

Information regarding specific features of the restaurant, such as the buffet style and variety of offerings, is implied but not detailed extensively in the reviews. There is no promotional information available in the provided text.

Local users considering Wan Bo Buffet should be aware of the contrasting recent experiences reported by customers, particularly concerning food quality and service consistency. The dated decor is also a factor to consider for those who prioritize the dining environment.

Here on a Wednesday. And I’m stating this because perhaps it’s better on a Friday or Saturday to have such great reviews? This place has 3.9 stars so I’m curious when the food would be almost a 4⭐️ because on Wednesday nights is not that great. If Google would do 1/2 ⭐️ I’d rate the food tonight at 2.5 ⭐️. Now I did find a few items that were better than the rest and I will list those so read on General Tao’s chicken was good but I have had better The chicken wings were great The tempura fried shrimp were tasty Everything else was either over cooked and mushy or was old and dried out. The chicken wings, ok I said I can eat these and be done until this lady in a scooter rolls up to the buffet and begins to bulls a scaled down version of the Egyptian pyramids. I’m guessing she stacked a good 30 wings on her plate. It was actually quite the site to see this being built and I’m estimating that she had at least 10” of chicken wing vertical height happening. Unfortunately for me they didn’t replace the wings, I guess in fear that one of the sphinx would be constructed next. I pickle around with small portions so not to be wasteful but there wasn’t any thing to be excited about and certainly nothing worthy of a 4 stars. Second plate in the waitress brings the check and says “thank you for coming”in a loud voice like I was old with the large outside the ear hearing aids, my grandpa used to wear and then ignores me the rest of the evening. Don’t you just hate that ugh. I don’t recommend eating here just look at the picture of the soup they had out. Again maybe on a weekend this is the place to be but I’d pass on this place during the week. So food 👎🏼 Service 👎🏼 Price for what was offered tonight 👎🏼 Happy eating

This place was very unexpected. The food was well seasoned and tasted fresh. There was nothing I tried that was bad. The sevice was also wonderful. Thr waitress was very friendly and kind. The only negative about this place was the decor. The restaurant could definitely use some TLC. The booths were old and falling apart. If the setup was better, this would be almost a 5 star.

I came here for lunch with my daughter on Memorial Day 2023. Many other restaurants in town we’re closed. Despite all the bad reviews, I was very impressed with it. The food was refreshed consistently, not cold at all and very tasty. There are some basic kind of rules for a place like this. For example, don’t expect the baked clams or the sushi to be good. I skipped those and stuck to Chinese dishes. Bonus was the diversity of items, ice cream for example. Watermelon, banana etc. Nice for kids. I will agree that the interior is dated, but I understand renovations cost of ton of money. It did not seem overly dirty to me. The staff was nice. Would definitely come back.

I stop here once a week around noon after I hit the gym next door. The price is really good especially if you’re like me and can go through 2-3 plate fulls. Lots of variety for post work out protein. Idk about late at night, but when I show up around lunch the food is always fresh. The baked clams they have are absolutely delicious and I highly recommend you try this place if you haven’t yet.

Food luke-warm and insipid. Wide selection of fruits and desserts. During this short review, the buffet's offerings were changed twice, so at least the rotation is fresh. Staff friendly enough. The furnishings are somewhat run down (not dirty, just showing wear and tear). Parking out front. Overall, good value for the price paid. Vending machines selling knick-knacks for kids (stickers and candies).
