    First time eating here, came around 7:30 on a Wednesday night. When we decided to eat here, we honestly didn’t know what to expect, we had heard very mixed reviews from family and friends in the area. Most of the food pretty good, some things were a little bland. You could tell a lot of the food had been sitting out a while, most likely being that it was a weeknight. Food wasn’t worth the price ($38 for 2 of us), might be more worth it on a weekend if the food is more fresh, weeknights should be heavily discounted. Also, they add 15% gratuity automatically to your bill, almost didn’t catch that. A bunch of homeless people were camped out by the front door, almost deterred us from coming in, but we had already decided to eat here. Will probably come back on a weekend to see if it’s any better.

    I enjoyed this buffet. Me and my husband stopped by for lunch today, as it's been awhile since we have been to an all you can eat place. Needless to say we ate quite a bit. Everything was pretty good, hot, and fresh. I REALLY liked the stuff they offered. An entire area for sushi, hibachi, salad bar, and multiple areas for hot and ready dishes. I think if you come at the beginning of lunch or dinner, you'd be pleasantly surprised 😊

    I am posting my review as a warning and heads up to those who are disabled with service dogs. My boyfriend and his kids used to come to this restaurant all the time prior to meeting me without any issues. The first time they brought me (with my service dog) they segregate us to a back corner away from people specifically stating it’s because of the dog. They didn’t care that he is my medical equipment and refused to be educated on the ADA. Not only that but they claimed it’s the owners “policy”. My boyfriend stood up for me, but ultimately we were starving and just wanted to eat so we allowed it. The same thing happened a second time, we informed them that it was illegal and we kind of just left it there because we just wanted to eat. Last night, December 11, 2021 at about 6:10-6:15 pm we went back and once again they tried to segregate us to a back corner and they specifically said it’s because of my service dog. We informed them we wanted a refund and we wouldn’t be eating there. I informed them it is illegal and that I will be filing a complaint with the department of justice. I will be attaching photos of the employees involved. I made a complaint with the Department of Justice and will be looking for an attorney.

    Very nice Buffet, has everything you could possibly wat to try. Everything was fresh and delicious. Fresh made sushi 🍣 with choose your own meats and grill right in front of you. If in Seffner area you should definitely hit this Buffet.

    They served rotten crabs, my husband took a bite off one of the rotten ones and we tried to talk to the Asian lady in the front. She was rude gave us a hard time. Acted like there is no problem because only one was rotten she said. They didn’t remove the rest of the crabs from the serving platter by the way. And we asked her how she was going to solve the problem she said she didn’t care. I asked who was the manager? Supervisor? Owner? She said a white man…I asked can I have his number she said she didn’t know it. What a joke. Because she is the owner it’s a family owned restaurant. I will report this place with the bbb and the Healy department. So nasty and so unprofessional.

    The buffet had a vast variety of food . Sorry I forgot to take pix of all the Buffet's and it also has a sushi 🍣 bar as well as a grille bar.... Really like the arrangement of fresh fruits and the giggling jello cubes (cherry) the Pineapple (was yart,yard, pretty 😍) ,cantaloupe was Delicious, didn't grab the honeydew was pushing it by making the fruit plate to begin with... everything was very good 👍 yes would recommend City Buffet.

    They just let a homeless man sit outside the door. I feel bad for the homeless man however it makes you not even want to go in. No hate to the homeless but that’s pretty much unacceptable. And the customer service is worse than the food….which I didn’t think was possible considering how bad the food was. What kinda Chinese buffet can’t make good fried rice????

    The food was great and they have a good selection including sushi and a grill cook ready to creative you food to order as well. A lot of seating with large tables and booths for families. Friendly and attentive servers help make this place a great chose for dining 🍽.

    Good food fast service. Fresh shrimp on the buffet . Tried their ribs . Not bad did not taste boiled . The sauce was a little wet . The flavor was good . The sushi was good also . Worth the money.

    The food was good as usual. Maybe a little dry. But we came late for lunch and had a early dinner. We where hungry and they had plenty. Team made in heaven.

    I like this place but many times the grill cook is away from the grill station so it can take awhile to get food. Often I just get the buffet since the grill station is not staffed. Drink refills are sketchy at best. It's still a good place to eat and the food is usually excellent. The staff is friendly.

    Let's see the price was ridiculously high first time ever you had to pay for the buffet before you go in the selection was low and I do a good amount of Buffets. The food quality was mediocre the sushi was delicious and the sitting arrangements and the service was okay but I did receive a lot of bubbles in my sweet tea that had me wondering why so much bubbles that stayed in the cup for a good 10 minutes. I survived I most likely will not return.

    I can’t believe this place has been here 8 years and I have never been. The fruit was so incredibly fresh. Great choices on the buffet. They even had a hibachi grill. I will only order from here moving forward. 5 stars!
