  • 3/5 The Anointed O. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed my first visit to this buffet; they had a wide variety of foods. They had steak, fish, lobster, shrimp, chicken, rice, soup, dessert, fruits, steamed vegetables, sushi, etc. It is still a great buffet, even if you don't like seafood. They even had a salad station for vegans. The food was good. The seating area was clean and spacious. The waitress was welcoming. The prices are affordable. However, I came here on Memorial Day for the second time this month, and the customer service was terrible. The worker at the register was very rude. He snatched my card out of my hand. Then he slammed the receipt on the counter and demanded a signature. The last time the waitress demanded a tip. I like coming here because of the food, but they need to work on customer service.

    Went for lunch with a few friends for the first time ever here and fell in love with the place. Lunch was inexpensive, and the food was soooo good. Great choice for an all you can eat spot. Very clean. The servers aren't very social, but since it's mostly self service it wasn't a big deal to us. There's complimentary gloves to use when at the buffet and clean stacks of utensils & dishware stocked. Ladies Restroom was very much inviting. Smelled nice and looked clean. The food was delicious and fresh. There's a hibachi grill, sushi bar and loads of choices for everyone. Including fruits, salads options and dessert. And free refills on the drinks. Perfect for a big or small crew of people.

    We had a fantastic dinner at Chow Time in Pembroke Pines. Large selection of Chinese, 🍣 Sushi, Hibatchi and American dishes. All the food we tried was hot and fresh.. We especially enjoyed the ribs and the 🍤 shrimp dishes. Buffet was clean and kept full. Our server was attentive, kept out drinks full and the plates cleared in a timely manor. Will definitely 💯 return in the future. :)

    😋My Favorite Buffet! It's the Best in Town! It's clean, plenty of fresh & different varieties to choose from. My kids love the Dessert Bar. And I can't get enough of the Hibachi Grill, where you can choose what you want. 😋

    Cheaper alternative to all you can asian buffets but isn't really lacking too much from the others. Wish they brought back the diy soup section. Sushi selection can be better but you don't really go here for the gourmet sushi selection. Overall, great experience.

    The best buffet i’ve ever been to. I have gone to an uncountable amount of different buffets but none compare to this one. The great amount of options is just overall overwhelming. You dont even know what to choose.

    This place was very disappointing. After reading all the reviews and a 10 mile drive later we ended up here. I’m confused as to who are the ones reviewing this buffet? I’ve been to more affordable ones and more expensive so I know both ends of the spectrum. This place was down right dirty and disgusting. You can smell the filth upon entering the restaurant. I tried the hibachi that was prob the best thing they offer but had burnt pieces of food cooked previously included. Everything else I don’t even have to mention. Frozen food reheated more than twice is what I could taste. Nothing was fresh don’t even dare try the sushi. Dessert I spat out it was disgusting tasted expired. The bathrooms were filthy as well. It I can give this place negative stars I would. I would never return.

    This was a great place to eat. Workers were very helpful in seating and taking beverage orders. The variety of Asian food was amazing from appetizers to deserts but American food also available like pizza, fries etc. Food tasted great, the privileges of trying anything to see what you like is great and to top it all off it was very affordable. It was a bit noisy but I can understand its due to the nature of the restuarant but overall a good experience.

    I have passed this restaurant so many times, but never knew it was a Chinese buffet, thought it was a dine-in Chinese restaurant. I haven't eaten buffet style in like ten years bc typically I don't find them to be sanitary, but we were hungry and I decided to try it. Food was fresh, areas were clean, floors clean, most importantly, food was bomb! Everything tasted great! I love it and will definitely go back again. Pricing was higher than ten years ago, of course, but worth it especially if you're hungry!

    As of 8:55pm i haven't had anyone come and address the table... The staff is cold when they approach. You would rather have a robot bring you water then them... The food is good but fine at your own discretion

    This place is a feed trough! Packed with people. Everything I had was good! Sushi, Chinese, bbg chicken and ribs. NOT gourmet but will go back for sure when the craving hits me, and it will. Could have been a little cleaner, hence the 4 stars but good place overall.

    Want to have a buffet with a hibachi but yet pay under $20 per person for lunch or dinner? Well my friend say no more! Chow Time in Pembroke Pines has you covered! With a location having plenty of parking, nice and attentive staff, and a whole ton of options of food that will cover even the most picky eaters. I recommend the pork ribs, the Cajun shrimp, sweet coconut shrimps, and steak (granted, it was a bit dry). But for under $20, I cannot complain much. The staff was very attentive and always made sure my water cup was full and quickly removed my dirty plates. It was a very nice buffet experience. I went to lunch meal time and it was a little packed but even then, you can get you food nice and fast. The hibachi did have quite a line but that’s expected. Overall it was a great experience. It’s a little less quality than Tori Nori or Shin Ju, but it’s also cheaper than these last two other buffet. Come to Chow One with your empty stomach and dine with confidence!!

    It's a buffet so of course you decide how generous your portion but quality over quantity is how Chow Time prepares every offering from fresh sushi 🍣 to custom rice dishes or noodles 🍜. Freshness is definitely provided 😋

    This place is the best restraunt to come with a large group. Factory of fresh food constantly being put out. Good standards. It’s clean. It’s good. Its chow time.
