Reviews for Eastern Buffet in Columbia, SC
Very clean and presentable establishment. I had tasted a large variety of the selections in small potions to get the most well... round opinion I could. The food across the board was very tasteful and well presented. My favorite was probably the warmbuttered imitation crab with cheese as I hadn?t had it before. Their egg drop soup is pretty unpleasant. The front of housestaff was a little awkward and uncomfortable. There was a lady that monitored the line and tables which I noticed kept watchingme specifically even though there were many other guests seated. I can?t say why I specially was the center of attention. Sheended up trying to talk to me but between her accent and English being a second language I still now after leaving am not surewhat it was she had wanted. The lady working the register was very polite. Other than the awkward employee that kept watchingme it was a great experience. Read more
The prices that come up when you Google are inaccurate. Expect $15+ even for lunch. Cleanly and the food was hot and fresh. I... avoided the sushi but it looked fairly fresh and they had a few types of rolls. Read more
I was hungry for a quality Chinese buffet but believe me this is far from quality $15 and it was the start of lunch time the... food was cooked but cold like it came from a refrigerator in its core, I complained and asked why am I paying for food that washeated up which seemed like left overs the person that seemed in charge said oh I?ll tell the cook I expected answers but shenever bothered to come back or worry about me. The price is way more that lunch buffet should be and this place isn?t worth it. Read more
Yummy food, was starting to run low though. And I love the chandelier. Sweet staff. With covid you have to wear a glove when... getting food and you get a plastic fork, I wish they at east had a plastic knife to cut food into smaller pieces. Read more
If you want to waste close to $20 a person on subpar food then I definitely recommend coming here. It wasn?t too busy and there... was a large selection of bland and old tasting food. I?d much rather spend my money at flaming grill than come back here. It?sreally disappointing bc my grandfather would always take me to the one in Lexington and they are much better at providing foodthat was not very obviously freezer burnt before it was cooked Read more
I was a little worried when I walked in and they said it was going to be $18 per person. But the food was amazing and everything... was well stocked and at a good temperature. The only downside is that there is no music and you have to use plastic cutlery. Read more
This place is a truly very low end buffet. The food was average, at best. What was really disgusting was the fact that they... use styrofoam "DISPOSABLE" plates and cups, and after they have been used, they dump the food into a trash can and stack theplates in a bin for washing. Then they reuse them! The same goes for the styrofoam drinking cups. Both my companion's cup, aswell as mine had teeth marks around one side of the rim where they had been used before. They have gloves and signage thatstates to wear gloves at the buffet, but as I observed the waitress, she didn't have gloves and was dumping the used plates thateveryone was using, while refilling drinks in between, without once washing her hands. Come on Man!! Read more
This is one of those pay before you eat places. Which was nice. Waitress refilled our cups once they were empty, staff was... polite. Atmosphere was very quiet when we went, even with a few families and talkative groups. Food was absolutely amazing. Andthey have a large variety. They even have fruit for desert! I went for a lunch date with my husband so we didn't have kiddo, butkiddo would have loved it for how quiet it was! Ice cream machine was out of order. Hope it can be fixed for when I take kiddo!Thanks for an amazing experience! Store was very clean! Hand sanitizer and gloves are provided! Loved that! They should sell togo orders through doordash! This place was amazing. Definitely give it a shot if you haven't. Read more
