REVIEWS OF Imperial Buffet IN Connecticut

Kawaii Yandere Brie

I love this place. Lunch is cheaper than dinner. The koi pond is fun and the kids will love it. The food is hot and plentiful. The fish and calamari are excellent. The sushi bar is included along with a full bar but thats not included. Staff is quiet and very helpful.

Galisa Barton

Service very good. Food sucked. O M G I never ate Chinese food that was tasteless and salty. The shrimp wasn't clean.

The BuBush

The workers are so nice, and not to mention the food is filled with variety and tastes great! It also helps that the decorations and design of the place as beautiful.

virginia cyr

My favorite Chinese buffet place to eat. Service is good, people are friendly and the food is great. You can eat all you want and pick what you like to eat. Great variety of foods. Excellent.

Greg Reynolds

-500 STARS Would definitely support Burger King or any other fast food over this junk. Service was terrible they made me feel like I was scum and was being drained of my money. If you wanna walk out the door puking and end up with a disgusting stomach ache that lasts for days go here! Highly do not recommend. At least you can walk out of McDonalds without food poisoning.

Jon Peterson

Great lunch price. Staff is always friendly. Food is above average over other buffets. Great selection of food to choose from. Though the quality seems to have gone down a bit over the years.

Ty Waterman

Compared to other buffets in the area this is my favorite because they make sushi on the spot and they offer a nice variety for the hibachi. They even offer shucked oysters.

toca legacy

Food was good, wait staff was professional but not very friendly which is ok. They have waiters and waitresses that rotate different areas. The sushi and noodle/veggie bar is very nice and a real highlight and treat. I'm giving a lower rating because there was a small situation there when dining, the manager was very unprofessional in handling the situation and gave attitude which made me and my party feel very unwelcomed and awkward.

Jianhuang Han

中国自助餐厅味道不错

LT Bazzoink

Great food, even sushi! Friendly staff, unbelievable selection of higher quality buffet. The sushi chef's have changed but are of the utmost quality as is the sushi itself. The sushi menu is limited, but a well placed $5.00 tip will get you custom made sushi in any configuration you please. No himachi (yellowFin Tuna) Dollar for dollar the best deal in the local area. Bohemia Restaurant is higher in quality and price. Very good sushi here and buffet as well. (My personal favorite). AK Swift

nana mensah

Food was good, weekend crowd was a little long and the lady refilling the food thought "excuse me,excuse me" said curtly was the best way to communicate. Overall loved the hostess,servers great job guys.

Peter Stathis

We had a very good, all you can eat, meal. Every choice we ate, was hot and had good flavor. I'm a seafood and fish lover. They make a good salmon, and a great whitefish, and there's plenty of it. If you like shrimp, octopus, squid, prepared in several different ways, this is the place. There are also several different types of meat and chicken dishes prepared in different ways, that my wife liked. They also have crab legs, clams, lo mien and pizza. To finish off your meal, there is fresh fruit, icecream, and baked goods, to select from. The staff constantly made sure the trays were full of freshly cooked or prepared selections. After 3 trips to the buffet and a dish of fresh fruit , it was time to go. Our bill came to $30.00 plus tip for the two of us. A fair price for what we ate. By the way, on your way out, stop to look at some of the largest Koi fish swiming on both sides of the entrance. If your looking for an inexpensive dining experience, this is it.

Gazing Galaxy

Prices are never consistent. They will judge your child based on looks to how old they think they are. I had two ten year olds and a six year old my 6 year old was $7 and myself and my older boys were charged $15 adult price. This is not the 1s time it happened. $12 and under means 12 and under not what age you THINK my child is. I like to go here because they offer sushi and clams/oysters included at that price. The staff is very rude and stare at what you eat if you get multiple plates clams and sushi they will treat you not as friendly....The food varies on certain days to good to not so good. They will also take things away like crab legs if the place gets too busy... my biggest concern was charging my ten year olds as adults because they are big boys. $60 for 4 people 3 if them children under 12 (no drinks included).

Daniel Murray

Good food and quality consistency. Staff is friendly and attentive. Good selection of chinese and american cuisine. They have a sushi counter where they make it for you to order and a stir-fry as well. They charge extra if you try to waste food so empty your plate and don't take too much! (Great policy if you ask me!)

teboh terence

Nice place but I noticed a section(area) of the buffet is only Chinese. While the rest are directed to the other sections. I just wanna know why.

Scott & Cher Foley

We travel... A lot. This place is top notch. Every seafood item was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. The hard to find beef teraiki is super. BRAVO

Geraldine Nayelli Rivera Ortiz

Lola Sierra

Arlene Delbrey

Always went for get together clean good food

Kelley Herro

Great place to get a little of everything. It's a bit hard to get refills on drinks, even water refills. They wait staff are always running around.

Shneck Shneck

Wow! Food is fresh and clean restaurant. This buffet makes my mouth sing.

Ava Wyman

The people here are so nice! The food is great! Come here for Asian food! They also have american food

Ryan V

Saktah Khan

Service could've been better! Food and atmosphere is good.

Sabrena Young

The food was good..fresh..service typical buffet..they don't like it when you only order water..didn't even ask if I wanted more until I asked for my check

Sergio Ysasis

Good food and variety. Decent price

Maximilian Ma

Great value for the dinner buffet. I found their seafood selection to be the best in this price range, with

Karen Reis

We eat here every year for Christmas and New Years day. The food is really good and they have an area in the back for a large group to rent out

Lilly Landrau

Good food and good services. Good people.

Spongey Cake

Food is fresh, only downside is if you ask a worker for a particular food item you been waiting for (such as coconut shrimp) most of the time they ignore you and walk away. They do return with the food but the acknowledgement would be nice. Otherwise the food is decent. Servers who attend your table are polite and attentive.

Joseph Tuccio

Good food and hot

Jacob McConner

Most buffets are hit or miss. Go when the lot is so full you cant find a spot, you know the food is fresh then. When they hit they knock it out the park

Sarah Elliott

Mostly yummy but ups and downs

Tom Na

Good food at a good price

Gordon Reels

Its was good

Samuel Smith

The woman at the front desk is very rude, and discriminates against people who need the help of service animals to get around. They don't make any attempt to understand the laws that protect us. I have filled a formal complaint with the Department of Justice .

gabe aleksiewicz

Food was okay but the staff was very rude and i have never seen anything like it. They also forced the person i was with the write a tip. They pointed at it and said tip right here. Avoid this place because they do not appreciate your business.

PandasArelife

I am writing this review while I am sitting in this restaurant. The kids wanted to go there mainly because we like their shrimp. Today, we were so disappointed because they changed it. Not only that, some of the salad options were left over from the day before. They looked that they were refrigerated overnight.

Raymond Jacques

If you love sea food this is the place to eat

Henry Eastwine

Food was delicious and there is plenty to choose from they have a person there to prepare sushi for you also

Nathaniel Marcel

Good up until the hair in my ice cream,

Chantal Champagne

Very good sushi

joseph petronio

Tasty food, good variety, inexpensive

Xiaoli Yang

It's first time we went there, it's much better than we expected! It's clean, has much better sitting area than most Chinese buffets. Has very good food. Awesome real Chinese vegetables, fruits are very fresh, has very traditional desserts. Sea food is good too! I am not meat person, so I didn't try meat. Will be back!

Dave Felice

Excellent food love the crawfish

Tyler Bradway

Great food. Pretty good deal

Estuardo Alejandro Guevara Avila

Clean, and amazing food. Keep in mind that is a buffet style, so your waitress would help you with drinks and small stuff like refills, silverware, napkins and plates, but I always tip them 25% of my bill.

Krystal Ducharme

Really good food, rice was a bit crunchy

Mark Karas

It's pretty clean and they are pretty friendly. The food usually pretty fresh and they have a good variety at the buffet. I don't like that they don't have soy sauce at the tables. The Walnut shrimp is great.

Barbara Valliere

Decent food cool cool fish extremely rude staff freakishly tall girl the worst reported her to manager and she acted like she didn't hear me a walked away probably won't ever go back anyone know of another buffet near there ???

brett jennings

Good buffet had sushi and oysters!

Jean Cuello

Very good.

beverly villanueva

Great food

khuong nguyen

Great buffet for$9.95 per person!

Mark Hidenfelter

My wife and I dine there at least 4 times a month. Good food and pleasant staff.

britney diakpieng

The food was very cold and not appealing, the service was horrible the staff can be a little more friendly. The place just seemed dirty all in all. Don’t get me started on the dirty fish pond. I don’t give online reviews to any restaurants but this one was just not appealing or satisfying to me; I felt sick when I took the first bite of my food so I didn’t even eat.

llaymax Negron

Owner is a friend of mine. Good food. Don't forget to leave a Tip.

MD FARHAN TASNIM OSHIM

Good food if you are a fish lover. Starters are good but would struggle finding eclectic main course. Sitting arrangements are little uncomfortable ( too tight to get in and out on those sofas and table).

Thomas Hanan

Had dinner here,everything was absolutely fantastic that me and my girlfriend had,lunch is limited to certain foods but just go for dinner to see all that they offer.

Iris Rodriguez

Not to bad

JGenica Maldonado

The place was kind of dirty. It smealt really bad everytime I went near the kitchen. I felt like some of the staff there didnt know what they were doing. Some of the foods where cold and everytime a wanted to get a refill there was no one around to ask for one. There was also a fire drill and no one told us what to do or what was going on.

luiz gonzalez

It was ok. Food was good, not great. Service was ok until they give your check. They stand there and wait til you pay as if they're rushing you out. Then when you give them a 15% gratitude tip, their demeanor changes as if they're upset. Ok place overall when you have no where to go.

Leonid Grebelsky

Not good place. When take out charged more what is postit.

Mario Perleche

I went to get a quick lunch to go, and the food was fresh and hot. They charge you by weight so don't get too much.

Jordan Chyra

I don't understand why this place has a 3.9 star rating. The good reviews are probably written by the employees themselves because it's the worse service I have ever encountered. Not only does it smell like old fish but the servers are rude they give u dirty looks while u eat and they dont even care to ask how your meals going or if u would like a refill. I have never in my life seen so much unproffessionalism from any restaurant I have been at. I've never written a review for any restaurant but I really dont want people wasting there money on overpriced low quality food that is served cold and makes u throw up because it's not even switched out. The food just sits there all day and gets mixed occasionally to look fresher. I spent 35$ for me and my friend just to be served stale food drenched in sauce to add some type of flavor to cover up the fact the food is half cooked.

Sandra LaPointe

Love it there. Great food.

Bryant Chang

Large selection and pretty good prices make for a good buffet

Vishal Bhammarkar

big place. lots of options. mostly oily stuff to eat

Manny Garcia

They love me always offer to make extra crabs

AUTUMN CAT

Food is ok, staff is rude

Kitty Meow

It was good but a bit pricey.

Bryan Trillz

There was a lot of food options and all the food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was really nice also. I had a great time eating here and we will definitely come back!

Theresa Selvoski

Exactly what you would expect from a good Chinese buffet. Busy crowd for lunch, quick turnover of food, small portions quickly replenished.

ILLFIGHTYOU NAKED

This is a great dinner buffet. For lunch it's still ok. Made to order sushi, oysters and cherry stones on th half shell, crab legs, and crawfish are what make their dinner buffet stand out and weekend are best. Lunch has a very limited sushi list and other than that it's just regular American style Chinese food. The staff is ok and probly not played great so please tip well.

Nicole F

Love the Koi fish ponds...negative part is if you have children that are under 12 they WILL get charged the same price as adults depending on their size. I feel it is very discriminatory. I don't think that it is right that they assume the age of any child based on size. I have gone with my children and their friends all different sizes but same ages and the " taller/ bigger" kids get charged 15 a plate. Usually they charged 12 and under kids price. the greed is disappointing. This never happened until the growth spurs hit.. The woman who works the front is never happy and seems bothered by everyone, so it can be uninviting... The man who works the sushi/raw clam bar works his butt off especially on weekends and deserves his tips! Good food but they sometimes openly judge... Disrespect doesn't have a language.

Austin RiverZz

The food was not good and was moldy and rusty bread was stale would not recommend .

OneErika

My stomach hurts after our meal. Every single item I I put on my plate tasted disgusting. I can't even say anything good about the food. I'm not happy about paying $34 for two people and leaving with an upset stomach because the food was so bad. I went back and tried everything I could stomach hoping something would be good. I should have just left after the first plate. Don't waste your money

Jean Viveirod

Was good but cold, don't like cold food

Nghia Nguyen

It's the best Chinese buffet in the area. I only wish they would give you 10 oysters or clams instead of 6 per dish when it's not peak hours, but 3i agree 6 is appropriate for peak hours.

Adam Harrington

Good overall buffet in the area. They are great for seating large groups, which is why we go for pretty much any last minute family gathering or easy celebrations like birthdays (20+ people need to sit). Decent maki rolls, food on the buffet is decent for buffet food but I wouldn’t eat anything raw there. Don’t bother going for the all you can eat crab legs. They let people queue up and there is pushing and shoving - even though you don’t get the crab it’s still a good value.

Dean Perry

This place sucks do not even think of going. Just left they had food that was out for hours had two bites and left health risk. Plus they automatically add 15% gradtuity. F that not worth the frustration. Stay away!!!!!!!!--

Gary Garcia

The food is a joke and all the waitress do is stare at customers and gossip about them. I have never returned again. I rather go to Hibachi Grill in West Hartford. Lot cheaper and. Food is bomb.

Gregory Borrelli

Food was cold and we were told to leave after paying with party of 9. We were just talking and the hostess came up and said we must go.

Amanda Roberge

Over priced for kids.. my daughter is 12 and the charged us for her as an adult.. she definitely doesn't eat like any adult..they seem to not replace the food often either. Almost everything was dried out or empty. Probably wont ever go back

Elijah Young

The food was hot and fresh

amir abdelmesih

Bad and rude owner he told us “I turned the A/C of because electricity “ it was outside 95 and inside 84 .if you don’t like it ,you can leave

Che Lugo

Go for the koi, stay for the food. The food was ok.

Tom Hanan

It's ok just go for lunch or dinner not in between times,they will play you dirty at change over, don't tip if the waitress disappointed you or ghosted you.The waitress might stare at you when you are eating,oh well let them look don't leave till you are full

George Castle

It was ok!! Not the freshes I had but ok

Ralph Kolb

Has some awesome sushi made right in front of you

Paulo Souza

Nice good food, I like it.

Henmaster14

Good food and service.

Stephanie Perez

Bad and rude service. Unclear information and signs. They have over 3 signs that say “Wait to be seated” than you enter, they see you and just keep mingling amongst themselves. I even heard a waiter basically threatening a family when they couldn’t understand what he was trying to say. Food barely has any flavor. My advice, first spend your money at a Fast food rather than go here and spend too much money for 0 quality service and food. Not to forget that they have a sign that if they see you’re waisting food they can charge you 20% more on your tab. Bottom line DO NOT GO HERE!

Mary Anne Anderson

My husband and I go here nearly every week. Have never had a bad experience. My husband is a bit far off the outstanding and when my some and his family join us they live there sushi. The wait staff had been nothing but friendly and welcoming. Will continue to enjoy this location.

monsamir85

Nice place for a small family. Food is ok

Bryan Stewart

Mediocre Buffet ... thought it was overpriced at 15 bucks. Watered down drinks

Jojo Hobs

The food is delicious

Tyler Wagoner

best buffet in the area...oyster bar is worth the price of admission alone...as is sushi bar...just make sure you bring small bills to tip for those services

Michael Roy

You absolutely would not believe the variety of foods that are being offered here. There were a lot of native Africans that seem to be drawn to what was being offered

Adam Pina

Food is decent. Just a little pricy

Thanaporn Monga

Great service. Good quality seafood.

Margaret Easter

Imperial Buffet has a great selection of a lot of seafood Sushi they even have a chef there that'll cook your food the way you would like it cooked crab legs and shrimp and different types of shrimp salads and stuff they have sugar biscuits puddings ice creams soups a lot of Booth tables beautiful Koi fish absolutely gorgeous boy fish to die for on both sides when you're coming through the entrance and the people there are okay

Michael Tawiah

Good food but price was hijacked because of father's day. That was very disappointing.

Cooperative Improvement

Best sushi I have had in a while. Highly recommend.

venom

Amazing food amazing people went there not amazing time

Marilena Parenteau

Poor service. Food mediocre.

Cornell Robinson

The raw oysters make coming here worthwhile

Lagatitaqrica Guzman

Suahi is always good

Trajan Spillane

It's a Chinese buffet. I mean, once you've been to one you've been to all of them.

Jay O

Imperial is one the only buffet I trust eating at. The food is on point 99.5% of the time. The sushi bar service is always awesome and they also have a raw bar and grill.

Hannah Toner

Plentiful food buffet, left with full bellies. Staff was nice to us. It is the epitome of what you expect when you go to a chinese food buffet. Decent prices.

Don Bernardi

Big assortment of food. Scorpion bowl excellent. Service spotty at times

PF DELUXE

Two stars at best!! The place is a pig-sty, dirty floors, booths, bathrooms along with the owner & staff having a constant unfriendly attitude. Uncomfortable feeling when asking for something such as crab legs, empty tray items, napkins etc. Food trays never filled, see for yourself! $20 per person not counting drinks, tip or tax, 4 people will be will over $120! Surprising more people don’t get sick! They make you feel like their doing you a favor!

Carlos Martinez

Me and my Queen

peter tierinni

They need faster and happier staff they run out of crab legs and wait 30 minutes to fill it

Dianrong Zong

Everything so bad and not fresh !I won't come !

07roush427

Always busy, and the food and staff are great!

Diana Ortiz

Ok so here’s my experience when I first walked in it seemed nice they have the fish pond on both sides nicely decorated ceilings... they had the right idea as far as presentation of their business... now as far as cleanliness I felt it was dirty after the dishes came out from being cleaned they were still greasy the spot we sat next to the fishes smelled of urine... most likely from the fish pond right next to us.. but still for me was a turn off... then the bathrooms were disgusting... the food was ok I was scared to eat it as I got food poisoning from the Asian Buffett in Meriden about a year ago....so I was selective with my food choices the Mac and cheese was awful but the rice and fruits were pretty good... overall food is ok... but cleanliness and price for me is a no go ... I probably won’t go there again

Elyzeth Torres

So nice

Peggy Civilik

Food was good. Air conditioner's did not seem to work properly. We left because it was to warm.

LUZ MARINA Sanchez

Good food...huge variety...needs more cleaning at the restrooms

Donn Kruger

La La Roll bounce

I haven't ate in a Chinese buffet in a long time was pleased. The food was great I enjoyed myself I really wanted some banana pudding but it wasn't fresh although I ate other fruits was pleased ice cream yummy thank you Guys I enjoyed myself I will be back next time

Victor Morris

Always good food, and good atmosphere

Marc Tressel

No extra charge for grill, as long as you don't mind eating just squid and vegetables.

Akorwek9 Outdoors

* DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE * Ok where do I even start about this place. By far the worst restraunt I have ever visited the waitress was rude and started arguing with me about how my 9 year old cousin was going to have to pay for the adult menu... He did not eat a lot he is a 74 pound kid how much can he eat. She then later added on a 15% tip without the customers approval. The food, everything was stale and flavorless, I would rather eat a cardboard box than the general tso's chicken. Later me and multiple other people were sick. I will never go here again and you shouldnt either. *AVOID AT ALL COSTS*

Everyday world

The place is small, but inside is gorgeous! and my son love the koi fish ponds

The Time Traveler

This place has great food is very cozy and all around awesome also the paintings on walls are on a canvas! I wish they had that they didn't was possibly a way to make Miss lobster soup other than that it's great 25¢ to feed the koi which are abundant and beautiful this place is amazing the only thing that could make this better would be if they added star shaped covers for the lights and have the ceiling be painted like a night sky overall this place is awesome!

Sandra Gonzalez

Not as good as the Manchester Royal Buffet But is better than Wethersfied Far East Buffet.

Vladimir Chen

Don’t come here

will batayte

Pretty good but because they don't bring out enough crab legs I can't give them the full 5 stars. I believe they are the same company as the imperial buffet that used to be in Plainville. But unfortunately they aren't as good since the Plainville one had a much better selection and were great about keeping all menu items full

Daniel French

Food was good. Kind of disappointed no one was at sushi/tepanyaki area especially since we were there at dinner pricing.

Mike Goldblatt

Great buffet for a good price.

Phillip

The food is very often cold and old. The reason is simple: they don't throw out food that's been sitting, they just mix new food into it.

Storm R69

Went in for lunch and got charged for the dinner buffet. I was there two minutes into the dinner time even though I had a quick late lunch. The people were rude when I tried to get it fixed. Never again.

Mark Gabriel

Aint what it used to be.

Deshyznit 1

Go when it's busy or all your food will be dry as bone (pun intended)

yousif alsudani

The worst customer service ever

Lorraine Mackay

Food is always good. Sushi rolled while you wait and custom hibachi are great

Jacqueline Hunte

Food is good but server didnt look happy and wouldn't stop coming by the table to let us eat

Rene Morrissette

Eat there, large selection, good food, good prices

Hernst Eliacin

Food is good, but employees attitude need to be better. I felt a display of racism among some of the employees.

A Didonato

We went on Easter Sunday. The size of the buffet is impressive. There is a big variety. Lots of seafood. We were seated immediately. The quality of the food was terrible. The boneless pork was so tough it was inedible. The string beans, broccoli, and most vegetables were so tough a knife wouldn't cut through. The duck sauce was watered down. It was basically a very bad experience and I would recommend trying somewhere else.

Jose Feliciano

Great service

Shelly Amanda

Food is always good and a very clean place

Anne Telemaque

RICH KELLOGG

Their always Fresh food on the buffet

Robert Whitworth

Never Never go here .... I went here the food was cold and we waited for a hour plus and they didn't refill the crab legs ... after I ate and went home , the food made me terribly ill... very very sick.. if you don't want food poisoning do not go here ... I hope I saved someone from a really bad experience... thank you .. I never leave reviews.. just very upset at how this buffet made me feel when I got home ... smh

Joyce Brown

Some of the food was good

Jake Chase

Love it here. Full sushi bar is a part of the buffet. They have above average food. Something for everyone. Basic stuff for the little ones like

Derem Hernandez

Everything was good

Alayna McCarty

Chicken wings were very good. Offered fresh avocado sushi. Like the selections. Wish the food was a bit more covered. Overall had a great experience.

Mariana Micheal

Very bad manager We ask him to open the AC ,it was 84 degree And he told us I tuned off if you don't like it you can go another place and I was with my kids they are 2 and 4 years I don't recommend that place to any one

Luis Garcia

Always a great experience at imperial recommend it to everyone.

Mayra McAteer

one word - DISGUSTING! not worth even thinking about this place. if you want to die of foood poisoning go here.

terrance wellner

Joe Borodec

A little place with a lot of food n selection

Izaque Silva

Fresh food friendly. The best

Ryan Tuttle

The best standard asian buffet in the area.

Maria Marrero

Please don't go there... Not a pleasant atmosphere.

jimmy the jew

Dude this foods the balls. Huge selction, quick responsive staff with a smile, koi pond, ear rings, no generals chicken but ill forgive it for the amount of food they have to offer.

Christopher Jones

The staff here is HORRIBLE!! They walk past you while your eating, you feel like your being watched every move you make. They have a 2 hour limit which is ridiculous. I should be able to have a good, fun time with my family without being pressed for time. The food is average. Green beans still hard, crawfish dry, I could go on and on. The only good thing is the sushi bar. Anything you want is made rite then and there. But still I wouldn’t recommend this place. Save your money and go to Nancy Chang! Only a couple miles from this place.

Elizabeth Borkowski

Noce people, needs to be updated.

Claribel Maysonet

The food waa pretty fresh but the waitress was flaky. In the whole time wewwre there I never even saw her clean the table or ask if we wanted refills on the drinks for that I o ly tipped her 5 dollars

Theresa Featherstone

Nasty, nasty nothing special

Jan Benevento

Yuk if you like to waste money and like food with no flavor this is the spot to go

droo py

Si the best on this area

SLA KE

Really nice place to go if you are looking for a wife variety of Chinese dishes. The restaurant is quite big and can host a lot of people at a time. The buffet tables are well lined up with different types of food ranging from seafood (including large lobsters

Emily Skebos

Omg love the food! So much food for so little! Will be back!

Natnael Gugsa

Great Waitress. Variety of food. On the higher end price-wise but they make up for it in quality. Went here while out of town but I would come back if I could.

Angie F

As we walked in today for lunch there was 2 women who worked there in each pond with the fish with brooms scrubbing the floor of the ponds. All I could smell was fish poop !!! Omg !! Yuck !! My wife didn't smell anything., So we decided to stay and eat. Food was fresh and hot. But all I could smell was fish poop !!

Lynne Ticho

SICK AS A DOG... NO PUN INTENDED...

Christian Manuel

The food was good but the staff was in a rush to kick us out

Anne Dubois

DON'T GO THERE!! IT'S A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!! THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE SELECTION OF FOOD!! WHAT FOOD THEY DO HAVE, LOOKS DISGUSTING AND SOME OF IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE!!

Pedro L Torres

Food is not fresh and the service is as bad as it can be. Disappointed. Just avoid it...

Rafael Gutierrez

The place has tens of choices, prices and flavor are really good for what you pay. The bar is awesome, just don't expect great service once is a buffet place.

matthew rock

Saul Ule Nieves

Adlai Richards

Service is decent and the food was ok. Not really impressed but our waitress was very nice so I gave them 3 stars. I highly doubt that I will be a regular customer though....

Comeletia Drake

Tom Jay

Good selection, fresh and wonderful certainly a good value, but not a diming experience

Jeannie K

I suggest this place only during weekends or dinner for more food choices.

Brian Towle

Good buffet. Pretty good options although they have gotten rid of the crab legs. Good service. Limited dessert selections and not that good anyway. Good sushi options. Will go back.

Liam Grant

Imperial Buffet is just one of the many buffet style restaurant chains available these days, however this one shines above the rest. There is a vast selection of different options to choose from. The food was fresh, and replaced regularly. And actually tasty. Not the bland overcooked fare. Wide variety of seafood. American , and Chinese standards, and whole crabs, and crawfish. The octopus was prepared well, and surprisingly not the expected rubbery texture. Additionally there were many fresh fruits and cakes, and puddings for dessert. Best of all the Buffet offered a manned sushi bar with a experienced person to create you roll. Staff were friendly and helpful, yet not the annoying pestering found in many buffets . Letting you enjoy your repast without interruption every few minutes. The restaurant itself is cozy. With booths and tables. A pleasant foyer with a Coy pond and bar. Prices are reasonable (17.00 adult) . Best of the Buffet style restaurants.

Jeff Artz

Food LOOKED great, but was about a 50/50 chance of being fresh... Beef teriaki was tough, sushi was not fresh. (smelled/tasted 'fishy'). Waitress was not very 'personable'. Not all that impressed. 3/5 stars

Frank Gavrish

It's a buffet and it meets all expectations as such

Miller Meyer

The worst service ever You can't ask people to get of the table after they have been seated even if we get seated by accident You need to learn some manner and customer service I'll never come back here again

Fernando Diaz

Nasty food, service if you dont tip some of them gets mad, and curse in chinese.

mohinderjit khurana

Neat and clean place, good food, good staff. Free parking

Nelson Diaz

Good food

Melissa Grosse

Food was ok. Staff was extremely rude

iris brooks

The food is good but the attitues sucks they need to learn the difference fron a credit card a gift card and a debit card i had a gift card and said it was declined but when i used it at target it went through very in experienced people ............

Maureen Sobel

Plenty of basic Chinese buffet food with lots of American selections as well. Clean and staff is helpful and friendly.

david mariani

Food was fine, what I expect at a buffet. Service was terrible. Staff all looks miserable and they are rude, a server bumped into my son almost causing him to loose his plate. She then made a face and kept going not saying a word. Comes time for the check, they graciously gave themselves 15% tip because we were a party of 6?! At a buffet when they didn't even fill my water, left it empty the whole meal, and they add a tip for that!

elliot v

Tú ya place is one of the best Buffett places I have ever visited. I have been in a few of them and this one is up there with the best.

Medic1 MA

Food was not that good and service was awful

Joseph Cirunay

Good food, good variety and one of the better Chinese buffet that I'd recommend in the central CT valley.

Marcin Burba

No more visit the place, dirty! and no friendly people!!!

Brandon Cowles

This buffet was terrible. I recommend that you don't eat here. The food was edible to a point of dissatisfaction. The quality of the food being served was also very inconsistent. Some food choices were very good while others couldn't be digested. Their service to customers however was very remarkable as they continued to clear plates and refill drinks

Maritza Arroyo

You have to wait for crab legs for a hour..they give you a receipt before your done..pastry are old food it's okay some bad some ok..

Anne Marie Thomas

Heide Cardoso

Awesome buffet

L H

Typical buffet fair but the food was good, worth a visit if you like buffets

peter Shay

Love the place. Love the food. Love the staff. Great people great food never disappointed. Love the ladies who work there always friendly even tho i have no clue what they say to me lol frequent flyer here lol

Julilah Vargas

The food was alright, better than Super Buffet in Worcester. It was my first time visiting there last night with my family and not even half an hour after leaving I had an upset stomach which lasted all night. I felt nauseous. Then this morning my daughter woke up with symptoms of food poisoning, vomiting and everything else. Very upsetting.

Kay Octave

Why they charge u 15% for tip u give what u feel like

TheUpsidedownGAMER YT

22 dollar tip sour fruits and dirty tables ok I guess

Adam Szymanski

Food was good, place to tide, to crowed, expansive.

Penelope Deotte

Food always looks fresh and well presented. Buffet is stocked continuously. Nice selection.

Marcel Veilleux

Always leave stuffed & satisfied. Great food.

Sally Lopez

Great food and very fresh all the time. Nice staff.

Sue Heaney

Very good Chinese buffet. Always busy and food always fresh.

Chris Faulkner

Food was good. Nothing super special especially for $15. There were a lot of seafood options for those that like that. I don't, so I would have preferred to see more chicken and beef options. I'll definitely come back for their lunch buffet - about $10 Monday-Saturday.

alvindog

Lunch time buffet...pretty busy but we sat and ate right away. Waitress was attentive without hanging over us. Food was really good. Lots of traditional Chinese dishes plus lots of American too. My favorite was the General Tso chicken and stuffed dumplings. Lots of dessert items and fruit. Very reasonable...four of us ate for less than $50.

Kiara Amaro

The quality of food is good, but not great. It's a place where you go when you want to eat a lot of food for less. I would definitely go back if I'm craving cheap Chinese food. Price, service, and cleanliness get five stars. Overall, pretty good. I recommend it.

joseph antwi

A beautiful Chinese restaurant with a wide range of buffet choices

nicholas casagranda

For central mass it's a good place

hecacolon

Awesome place sushi INCLUDED!! ON BUFFET

Angel Felice

Love the crawfish. Such a great variety. If you leave hungry your own fault.

Micheal Kelada

Very bad management and food Even the AC turn off in f 85 because the restaurant was not busy.

Kristen Pineault

This had to be the best buffet ive ever been to! Its beautiful inside, dont let the outside looks scare you. The staff was very polite. What a great place.

Maylani Serralles

I love it even though I love Chinese food...

Liz Smith

I cant believe how rude the staff are. They watch over you while you eat. Also they look for any reason to charge you for not finishing your plate. I am absolutely disgusted with this place. I will never bring my family here again.

Dianne Hunter

You can find the food that is on your diet. OR have the most delicious wide variety of cheat food IF that's what you want!

William Martin-Black

Mediocre, If you have time go to Asia Buffet in Wallingford -

Chye Khoo

Great lunch or dinner even Christmas fixed price.

Justin McAteer

Completely disgusted. From the moment i walked through the front door i had a bad feeling about this place. The fact that they need to post a sign saying they will charge $10 for any wasted plate is atrocious, its a BUFFET. People are going to try different things, and not eat what they do not like. My family and i walk in and there was no staff greeting at the podium, instead a woman stood across the restaurant and shouted "how many" in a rude manor. Completely unprofessional. I went to wash my hands and the smell was unbearable. Smelled as if they were using old molded mops to clean the floor. Finally got a plate and sat down. After trying almost everything and wanting to vomit from how old and stale most of the meat and seafood tasted I found a speck of light at the end of an extremely dark and twisted tunnel. The spicy beef and the white rice were all i could stomach toward the end. I looked around the table and told my family NEVER again would we eat there and to warn anyone we knew about this place. Negative points and does not even deserve to stay open in such a prestigious town.

xcavor

We love it here. Although, the guy who does the oysters is rude. I feel like we have to beg just to get a couple.

Alissa Wellner

By far my favorite buffet I've ever been to. I didn't have a lot of different things, but, the things I did have were amazing. I was most impressed by the fresh, made-to-order sushi. They literally have a guy who makes whatever you want from the menu right in front of you. I also enjoyed the crab rangoons, the fried dumplings and the crab casserole.

Iva Gad

The owner is very rude and disrespectful he didn’t want to turn on the ac when it was 85 degrees inside the restaurant and he said I’m not turning it on it is either you stay or leave.

roberto gonzalez

The food was awful....sickening to my stomach...

Rolando Campos

Food was okay Nothing to brag about was heading to the desert side foul smell like dirty mop lost my appetite. Last time will be going there.

Harry Chang

Best food at the best price in the area.

Samia Karam

Imperial Buffet has a verieties of Chinese food, it is delicious, clean and very organise place to eat.

Carlton Rutherford

Very wide selection of food, qreat service, really good food at a really, really cheap price. Great family restaurant.

Brian Welskopp

Excellent choice of hot food cheap lunch all.you can eat $8.99

Jorge Garcia

Most of the food cool you know what happened when I get there sick

Allon. Swift

The best buffet in Worcester Area. Not only does the buffet offer a wide variety of quality foods it also includes sushi! The sushi menu is somewhat limited but with a small tip your only limited to one’s imagination and what is available fresh from the sushi bar. There is a fully stocked bar and of course soft drinks, a desert cart and ice cream. There is mixed and wide variety of quality foods in the buffet. From a variety of soups to fresh pineapple and other fruits. Strength and Honor Allon K Swift

Philip Raymond

There is definitely a qualitative difference between various Asian family buffet joints. Most follow a tired formula: Sushi isn't real, food is bathed in grease (and low quality), and with the ambience of a funeral parlor. The few stations with western food are limited to fast food staples, like cold pizza & fries.... But, not Imperial Buffet. This one is a cut above other Smörgåsbords! Ambiance is elegant and the staff is exceptionally courteous. Food quality, presentation and freshness is quite good, especially the special order area, Finally, the prices are only slightly higher than greasy, formula-driven slop houses.

Sartan2002

Wish I could give this place a zero. They give a 2 hour limit and a sign that say they charge for unfinished plates. 2 people in our party with me got sick and almost puked. When we told them about it, they said their food checked good and no one else got sick. 15 mins later when we left they were cleaning 2 puke piles literally 3 feet from their front door. Oh and let's not forget to mention the fact they give themselves mandatory 15% forced tips on the bill. Will not come here again, and will report to the health department when I get home

Heather W.

Large selection of items, but nothing tasted all that great. Nothing was *bad* but all very bland or just salty. If you're looking for variety and good value, they've got it. I prefer to spend a bit more for quality over quantity, but they definitely do quantity well.

Iby A

Food is ok but prices are good

James Freschi

Great buffet and huge selection

Ernesto Elias Rush MIV

Food not good to me.mandarin is very close is a great food.

monthila detoudom

Great food, good service

aidaliz508

Cold old food. The banana pudding pie was perfect tho... that's why they recieved a 1 star. The coy fish are a beautiful sight as well. Good service just food is as expected for Chinese buffet..

Kerry C.

Food wasn't worth coming back for, and everything but the tables looked dirty. There were dirty hand towels on the floor up against the buffet and under the dish cart. The selection was pretty wide, but nothing tasted very fresh or good.

Alex Szymanski

Great food fresh and tastey great seafood options my fav

I NSnow

Horrible service. Food not that great and if you have kids do not expect to pay the children's price. They make up a policy about the pricing for children going by height not age. The policy is not posted. The waitress are completely unfriendly!

Carlos Sanderson Castillo

So far so good! My first time there . I leave anothra review next visit

Nono Tallat

Very very very very.Bad and very very very very rude service. Unclear information and signs.

Larry Reese

a wonderful combination of reasonable pricing and an extreme array of delicious food makes this an excellent stop for travelers in Connecticut. They have a large selection of some of the finest Seafood along with a whole list of other menu choices. As you enter you have on both sides koi fish ponds they are a wonderful addition to the atmosphere of the restaurant. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. This is an excellent choice for someone unsure of exactly what it is they want to have to eat but would enjoy a whole list of choices to pick from.

Heidi Villaran

Decent prices, huge selection of seafood, more than I’ve seen in any other Asian restaurant, and more American choices like pizza and Mac n cheese for the picky eater in your group. Good desserts, they have sushi, and decent service.

The Sponge

Food was ok, and I got really sick when I got home.

Perez Perez

I went there with a friend and it was horrendous. We’re college students and we got stared down as we tried to ate. I felt discriminated against simply for my age. I get that some people would do that but do not simple just toss us into the a stereotype. I would not recommend if you are trying to have a day where you want to just relax and eat.

Sherry Butler

I love the servers and other staff.. The food was amazing I went in tired and in a very bad mood.. When I left my belly was full and I felt better My friend and I went up twice And talked Oh the lemonade is probably the best around Today is Saturday yummmm check it out any day really..

Efrain Hidalgo

The food is good but nothing special

Tanya McNeil

Bruce Mikolajczak

Amazing buffet. So much of everything. For $9.50.

Bill Furman

It is great food is always good ,friendly people.

Gary LaPlante

Good value for good food !!!

Nathaniel Nemdharie

I have been going here for years with my family. The food it great. The only tip i have is to make sure that you tip the guy making the sushi and cracking oysters open. Make sure he sees you tipping him. I swear if not he will have the nastiest attitude. He literally and seriously looks like jet lee. You can't miss him.

Max

Cheap and good

Umair Ali

Nice, warm and cozy

brian wilchynski

Always a great Buffet

Jason Fendi

The service is no good

julio villafane

another great place to

Tiff E.

Hello All, I think the 3.9 stars are way over rated. This place advertises crab legs but I called on 3 different occasions and was told by the receptionist they no longer have crab legs. Not only is this false advertisement but the woman who picked up the phone was VERY RUDE each time I called. I think people who have restaurants need to remember who keeps the buisisness staying afloat, THE CUSTOMER. So leave the rudeness at home and bring a smile and great CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS with you into work. Trust me it will benifit you more in the long run..... I would say skip imperial and hit up Royal Buffet in Waterbury for good food, customer service, and a fair price....

SavyGames G59

Good selection decently clean ok staff

Alexander Berry

Decent food..most bang for your buck

Clarence Gant

Great buffet. Always fresh and hot.

Greg Johnson

I've never had a bad experience.

Mohammed Ahmed

Very greasy food, employees always begging for tips . As soon as they hand me the check they’re standing there and telling me “I have to pay the bill right now.” Go to Far East Buffet Instead. 100 times better food and cheaper.

Ivy Salgado

A lot choice of fruit, food,ice cream and deserts

belinda barros

If I can give a zero I would terrible service rude I went with a group of people we were all paying individually they made each of us pay them 15% in tips that was absolutely unfair considering they were rude,food was extremely cold took them about 20 mins to get a refill on water. I don’t mind to tip but let me get my money worth just awful time to shut this place down.

Ten Ton

They hand make sushi fresh right there on the spot exactly what you want! I love the koi pond at the entrance. The food was fresh and hot. And the individual serving ice cream cups is genius! First time I have ever seen this at a buffet. Staff was attentive and very friendly! This will be a regular spot for us for sure.

Rainysha Spann

My experience eating here started pleasant; the waitress was friendly, and allowed us to sit near the coy pond after sitting us in another area. It quickly took a turn for the worse. We quickly realized we were dissatisfied with the food and asked to speak to a manager about it. My friend & I had small plates and barely touched any of the food, didn't even get second servings. The manager rudely told us she doesn't care about dissatisfied customers and after threatening to call the cops on us and banned us from returning. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.
