Super Buffet

Restaurant Chinese restaurant Buffet restaurant

🫤 The "buffet" costs $18.99 for dinner. Not $13.99 as shown from the menu from two years ago. The food was okay, but the selection was dismal, at best. No sushi. The "fresh" green beans were old and limp. I know the difference between over cooked and old, these were old. This is a 100% serve yourself.... People often mention buffet, Chinese, fresh, quality, staff,

    All the meat tasted over cooked. Some of the food also tasted old. We had a family of 6 go and everyone only ate 1 full plate. I wouldn't recommend it unless it was the only place open and you were very hungry. Have been to several better Chinese restaurants. Definitely won't be going back to this one.

    The "buffet" costs $18.99 for dinner. Not $13.99 as shown from the menu from two years ago. The food was okay, but the selection was dismal, at best. No sushi. The "fresh" green beans were old and limp. I know the difference between over cooked and old, these were old. This is a 100% serve yourself. Get your own flatware, drinks, napkins, ect. The bussers did keep the plates picked up though. I cannot in good faith recommend this place. It's overpriced and the food leaves much to be desired. I'm pretty sure their produce is on the verge of turning and they buy it at a discount. Veggies are the staple for Asian cuisine and if it's not fresh the rest of the ingredients don't matter. I had high hopes for a good Chinese meal but didn't find it here. For the price I expected much bigger and better. A hibachi grill would have been nice along with a much larger selection of dishes and appetizers. My local Asian buffet is three times the size, has a hibachi grill so you can have them prepare the fresh foods you choose, has a huge dessert bar and costs a lot less.

    Very expensive for a buffet. Was hunting for some hot food and I dished up anything that came out of the back but to my surprise it was luke warm at best. Didn't feel the best after eating there (putting it lightly). I'm just guessing here, that a lot of the food is kept at a danger zone temperature. If you've ever been certified in food safety you understand what I'm saying. So in short best to stay clear in my opinion.

    Food was cold. Got there at 11:30 it felt like food from yesterday the first stuff I took. Chicken nuggets were very cool not heat to them. Not very caring about cold food. I recommend not to eat here before 11:30

    One of the best Buffets I have experienced. Fresh and clean and comfortable with items clearly marked and ample availability for anyone who was there at dinner time. Nice!

    Bland city. I was there at 6pm, peak dining time. Great atmosphere and very clean in the dining/buffet area. The staff is attentive and nice, but the food needs work. It appeared to me they picked the lowest quality (cheapest) food they can find. On top of that the dishes I tried were all overcooked by a pretty wide margin. Nothing was burned, but very much on the chewy side, with the exception of the noodles. The general tso's had no kick to it, the sauce had no heat and really just tasted like too much soy sauce was used and again the chicken was overcooked and chewy. I suspect the cooking method is purely cut (or open a can) and dump and heat up with no thought to seasoning. Disappointing experience overall.

    Worst place to eat in bemidji. The food was sub par and cold we also found a hair in our food and the manager laughed in our face when we asked about it. I will actively tell people to avoid this restaurant. For a Chinese buffet the price was expensive I will never go here again.

    FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY do NOT eat here. The food is cold and drenched in oil. Very rude staff that will talk about you in Chinese and then laugh at you! Literally go anywhere else. I’d go eat at Burger King before I go back to this place at least I could get food poisoning for cheaper!

    Great food and wonderful service. Everything was fresh and very clean.

    Family of 4. One is challenged with SPD. Not one thing on the buffet he would eat at no fault of the establishment. I asked if they could make something he would eat, and within minutes, a plate was delivered to him! The buffet itself was hot and fresh. The food was great. The workers were great and it was very clean.

    Once every year I give this place another chance (because it wasn't always like this) but the food is always room temp or cold, the chicken tasted like rubber and so much so you can't even cut it with a fork. Me and my friend both got sick after eating here today. I don't know if I'll go back here honestly

  • 4/5 Mike 4 months ago on Google
    Food is great, plenty of options, but most of it is room temperature. Typical Achilles heel for buffet style food. Unless you grab it as soon as it comes out, there isn’t much heat left. But we still go there at least twice a month.

    Been eating here since the day they opened their doors. Best chinese food around. Clean and welcoming friendly staff.

    Very good Chinese food! Great to stop and get a quick, quality meal.

    A real treat from the moment you step-up in until the moment you leave. The food was great and authentic with a varied variety of classics. The staff was helpful when I had questions and understanding between our languages was easily crossed. I look forward to returning to Bemidji so I can come here again.

    It's nice to have buffets open again. Good selection of items, so it's nice to have the variety.

    I should have know better, but I went anyway. It was a little expensive, around $18. The food was typical, but the Spring Rolls tasted like disinfectant. I didn't finish the bite I took. Most of the rest of the food was okay and it was reasonably fresh. The staff was pleasant. My complaint was the noise. The building materials amplified the sound of children shouting and rude people who don't understand that no one else wants to to hear what they're watching on their phone (which they have to turn up because of the shouting children.) I realize this isn't the restaurant's fault, but sound absorbent materials help to minimize noise. I did get sick the next morning. It's the only thing I ate the night before, so I presume it was the food. If you're looking for a nice Chinese dinner where you can have a conversation with someone at your table, there are probably better choices.

    Took a bite of food not good so went to ask for refund and she didn’t believe us saying it wasn’t good. Then wanted to see that we only took a bite and one of the bussers cleaned the table. So she walked back to give me a refund and took of 6 bucks if my refund. Summary don’t eat there unless best thing wanting to experience is decent cleaning job not food

  • 2/5 Jeff D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lousy food choices, the quality has gone down and service has never been something this place has had. Prices are going up and quality is getting worse.

  • 2/5 Roland K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was okay. Nothing special. Selection could have been better.

  • 5/5 Gloria T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great buffet…have been here a number of times the past few years…never been bad. Fresh all times of the day. Make trips to Bemidji just to eat there!!

  • 1/5 Johan L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a place where all the food is really savory and tasteless. Food with a very greasy taste. I expected this place would be better because it is an all you can eat type. But the taste and quality of the food was really poor... won't go ever again.
