Reviews of United Family Buffet (Restaurant)

demiurger miscllaneous

Very rude waitress , tried to force us to tip more when we already spent close to a hundred dollars , we left a tip and she complained about it. Besides this the place has awesome food , but that waitress needs to learn how to treat customers better, very greedy soul smh.

lisa dunn-gundy

Nice

Martin Cordova

Love coming here. Sometimes they do water down the ice tea but it still tastes great. The food is amazing and taste really good. Best buffet around the area...in my opinion. Good prices and friendly staff. Did I mention the large selection of food?

Taquinn McQueen

It's a good local buffet with it's own little signature spin,Buffet's all throughout Essex and Hudson county each serve food slightly different from the next none are exactly alike so it's a nice little switch up

Tim Ram

Slow night, hardly any customers to keep the food moving.

marvin adrichem

This is my second time here. The prices are decent. The food is lackluster. At the end, you lose.

Food tasteless, and one of the waitresses was pretty rude... as soon as my family and I came in she seemed like she didn’t want to be bothered and pretty annoyed... never coming back here ever again

Kemani Williams

the workers was cursing us outta in chinese . and they didn’t give us chopsticks for the noodles . the workers need to get fired

Nii Oto Nunoo

Options are limited. Food is not that bad

Michael Graves

Will not eat there again. I had not even gotten up from the table and the waitress is asking for a tip. Just because i didn't put the tip on the receipt doesn't mean i was not going to leave one. I was planning on leaving cash but have never had anyone say " no tip" before.

Lorida Miller

Is good!!

Jackie Fernandez

The food is ok. Everything is a rush but they don't check on you much to refill drinks.

Kisha Coe

The food was not good in a watermelon was very salty

Jermaine Palk

It's fine good atmosphere I would eat hear again.

Kelani Toyin

Nice place

Whispering L!ve

Waitress spit in my food and hit me with the F5 on the table. The disrespect. Food colder than the polar caps and drinks hotter than ZONED mixtape "See Me when You See Me". Plus it was $50 dollars per plate. Ripping off the poor man!

Krystal Battle

Food is horrible. Under cooked never fresh. Best thing u can get is the fruit.

Jessica Colon

The food is okay. I wish they would have more choices when it came to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Jennifer Thomas

Best wonton and salt and pepper shrimp. Nice place with friendly staff.

Gaye Mustafa

I love the shrimp all you can eat

Kamla Belnavis

Food was cold n tasteless..would never visit again

Nwakaego Onyenokporo

Nice array of meals to choose from. Sea food, meats, etc. Staff are well-mannered. Its a lovely place to take family and friends to.

Diona Hammond

This place has food thats good sometimes but on other days the food is very weak on the staff there were a few women who were rude and rushed us to pay our bill while we were not done eating they stood by our table for almost 10min making me uncomfortable and angry i was 8+ months pregnant at the time so i might have been a little quick to anger but i still found it rude

Tony flash

Peggy Hernandez

Place has many dishes. Went for Sushi and was fresh and delish! Sometimes a bit loud the atmosphere but food is good.

Pam Cakes

Good enough! Inexpensive, family friendly and very nice staff! Everything was clean and the food was not bad at all!

Thomas Carter

It was okay

Deborah Clark,DTM

My family meets here for dinner do everyone can get what they want. The baked fish is always good

Shahaad Hinton

Service seemed like they wanted me to rush and eat my food. The pans of food weren't oftenly swapped out for fresh and hot food. Lastly, the food didn't taste great. This place used to be a great place to dine in and have a good meal with friends and family but has went downhill in the past 2 years.

beatrice neal

This buffet is my favorite place to eat, it's CLEAN, the food is Excellent and the staff is priceless and it's all you can eat.

Robert Dalesandro

Not a wide variety

Ttv B20kiing

Most the food tasted good. But what really got me mad was that there was a homeless man, so we were walking outside and he asked for change. We didn't have any so we said come in and we can pay for your food. But when we get inside they said "He can get his food and go but he can't eat inside" so we proceeded to say how wrong that was. And then they said "He always harassed people for money" even though he only asked for 50 cents! Don't go here they just want money not even good service.

Bobo Blaze Robinson

Wonderful family get together. Prices are good for families on a budget but want a nice place to eat. Great for birthday parties and company events.

Jacob Proctor

I get to eat here a lot since I work nearby. I love how their customer service is always good and they keep the place neat consistently. Rates are fair and they serve sizeable portions.

LESLIE RUDOLPH

Wonderful Time eating here...

Seni Adeyinka-Ojo

The food was okay and they had quite a lot of options to choose from. For 10.99 per adult for all that food?I think it was a great bargain.

William P

SUPER GOOD, all the food and fresh you can eat, i come here every weekend and the price is cheap.

G A

The food is good but the have the worse habit that you can have if you own a restaurant. This is the 3rd time that happens. I'm eating with my family and they come with the check like the are kicking you out and we haven't even finish eating. That's disrespectful and doesn't look good for your restaurant.

Kevin Umanzor

This was the first time I ate at this buffet. I brought my wife and son. I would say that the food was good. Not excellent, just good. Rice was definitely good. The boneless spare ribs were good. There were some foods I didn't like though, like the dim sum. Also, didn't like the stuffed shrimp. Didn't like the desserts. But most importantly, I was really hoping for some delicious general tsos chicken, but I was sadly and completely disappointed in their product. I am a huge fan of some general tsos chicken and I gotta have it wherever I go, but this place had some terrible general tsos chicken. I didn't even eat a second piece after I ate the first piece. As far as the service is concerned, it was all good until the end when we asked the waitress for a to-go box and she never brought it. We asked a couple of times thinking she might've forgotten the first time, but it never got to us. I had to go grab one myself. So for these reasons they get a 3 star from me. I would recommend this place to others. It wasn't so bad that someone wouldn't enjoy it.

Meh Elamenu

Food is good but js not always hot you have to ask to reheat some

Kia Gon32

They don't hover over youwhile you are eating. The food is delicious and it is clean. The prices are reasonable. Love it.

William Miranda

Debra Blige

Healthy cleanI like the different variety of food.

Rick Anderson

Decent, tasted good

Maria Nunez

The food is very good

Jen Landaverde

Service is not the best in this place. They watch you carefully as you eat and come quickly to dismiss your plate. They definitely don't want tip.

Keeping It Spicy

Good food reasonable price but the deserts were not good...chocolate cake was dry

zaid muhammad

Exellent food great service no waiting on line!

Keith Jackson

Good food

Sha 'mazing

Good food but I was there last week and one of the workers was cleaning the glass near where I'm sitting. She sprayed and proceeded to clean! Ugh! That's not cool. I politely asked her if she can stop and she did.

MARINALVA KATRUS

Great place to eat

Hugh Cohen

Goid service but the food was not up to their usual standards.

Maria Melendez

Very good

Jay Jaggessar

Very good food, prices are surprisingly low for a buffet. Highly recommended...

Cee C-Jack

The restaurant was clean. The food was inconsistent. Some items were good and others were definitely not fresh. Like the fried sweet plantains were spoiled, chicken on the stick was hard with bad pieces on there. Some of the shrimp were bad that they couldn't be scaled. I felt that I was being watched carefully at I chose what to place on my plate. Although I understand why that's done. Also the food was not kept warm enough because mostly everything was room temp but the staff was polite and helpful. I would not eat there again because I could get better from a Chinese restaurant and I would be concerned about food safety.

Jacqueline Thomas

Most of the food is bland. I tried the baked fish but quickly noticed that it was not thoroughly cooked.

Larry Reed

I njoy this place good was good

Wynona Ancrum

tomas marin

Materson Jean

Loook please do not come holly s......t nothing good in here for that 14$ buffet smh these pple terrible they make u pay 3$ for cool aid they call sweet tea stay away trust me

Lismairy Guzman

My husband and I went because is very close to our home, even after Reading their reviews we still wanted to try it and give it a chance. I’ve regretted my decision. The most disgusting buffet I’ve ever been. All the food was cold, the shrimp looked like it was fried 2 days ago. The smell when you enter the buffet is horrible. Let’s not even talk about the bathroom. I will never recommend this place to anyone.

Twanda Burney

It was ok

Ron Cheeseboro

A great place for a family meal,very neat and clean.

javier e. Morocho

Very delicious food

Greg Ihnen

You get what you pay for. It's not quite as nice and a little bit cheaper than other area buffets.

salyett brown

That your restaurant is one of a kind.

TenaGurl Covington

Not the same as when i was a kid..

Taye118 Diggz

My experience was awful every time I got up to make my plate they watch me kept coming by my table taking food plates were not finished an the food wasnt all good it was some old an they didn't put no fresh food out.. After I got my 3rd plate they gave me the bill but I wasn't ready to leave so I continue to enjoy my meal wen I see eyes staring at me like I'm not gonna pay or something so I got me another plate. So now its one waitress on the side an back just standing there so I finished my food drink my soda and paid for my meal

Mone G

laythywbas

The power of God

bad place they spend their time to check us every time we take a new dish must always check his receipt before paying because they make us pay much more than the usual price especially when you are a couple be careful

lily Garcia

It has a variety of food, so many good choices to choose from. The service is excellent

Steph Finis

Horribly disgusting food. Will never go again. I atr 2hrs ago and my stomache still feels nasty.

Marskos Cruz

Amazing food I wish they had more people there during the morning but plenty of warm, hot food and it tastes awesome. They also have a great salad bar with enough different types of vegetables to basically remake any salad.

aminah Muhammad

Great people & great food

Kevin Cazeault

The drinking was flat it feel like the servers was Rush us out the door

patience akuewanbhor

Poor food quality. when there in the morning by 11 or 12 and the food was already sore like a three days meal.... pooor

OWENZ LA VOZ

Dont have a variety and give me de chek before í finish eating . Like kicking me out

Michelle Zeas

Parking is a nightmare as it is in a strip mall, so be prepared. We went on a Saturday and it was packed, but the food was all full, the wait staff was running to make sure everyone was ok and no one seemed to be complaining.

Shawn Mcgee

You can't go wrong at family buffet all-you-can-eat the food was good

Jose Orlando Rojas Rozo

Recommended 100%

Jalissa Willis

The food is good! But when the bill came I paid and the waitress had the nerve to ask for a tip. I told her no several times and she continued to ask for a tip saying, "Two dollars!, everyone tip two dollar". Then as I was leaving she brushed passed me mouthing off in her language. Absolutely unacceptable!

Abel Castillo

Food appearance, presentation and taste are far below basic expectations. Entire interior looks not maintained, uncleaned, dirty.

Victor Ogo

Great buffet

Sashana Mc

This place is disgusting. The food is horrible and overpriced. Food is always cold, and never fresh.

Edwin Francisco

people go here for food so lets start there... Average!!! Some foods were less than average. If you like seafood, there are many options though the flavor is off. This place was the first place I saw that had ham in sushi.... Less than delightful. The waitress was somewhat rude as she wasn't very pleased wit the fact I requested to be seated in a corner( which the hostess did with no problem). I gave her a 1$ tip due to her on tone questioning my seating arrangement and for having me ask multiple times for a cup of soda on a day where it wasn't busy and the house was barely full. I would go again if every other buffet in town was closed....that's it.

Evan Ruddy

I went there with a big appetite around 530, I lie To you not all the food was Cold. On top of that when I asked them to heat it up the shrimp tasted rubbery as hell. The general tsos chicken tastes so rubbery and fake. At that point I Loaded up on chicken wings ate as Much as I can then left . Terrible I'll never eat there again

A YouTuber At YouTube

Good food, not enough cooked veggies though, mostly salads. With that said, costumer service and the food is great, many dishes.

Julio Nieto

The place is ok but we some dissappintments the place smells kind of weird and some food it is not right

Reginald Saint Louis

The food was great. The employees just need to learn how to treat customers better.

Daniel Vacca

Friendly Chinese buffet, perhaps a little better than average. Conveniently located along Newark Ave where the 24 bus practically stops right in front.

Latish Durham

Lovely place to eat!me and my husband enjoyed everything!!100%

Michaels Newman

That place was so so. I been to better.I order a salad which. Was good and will worth it.

ANDREW DAVILA

They rush you to order, never listen to your order. And have bad service. Place doesnt look that clean amd i dont see myself coming back

JUAN CARLOS TORO LINARES

The place offer Latino buffet food and food for petition. It had a optimal food-pay relation and an acceptable level of cuisine.

Gay Mustafa

I like this buffet. They have a wide varity of many different foods salads soups &desserts. Even shrimp cocktail & sushi. Great restaurant

Pierina Ventura

I love eating here, is not expensive and the food taste good. Buffet i like everything they have. Service is fast and they have an option for take out instead of eating in.

Babe Frazier

Very good

Oluwatoyin Tonia Ladipo

Good food,good reception,but price I don't understand their price. Adult $13+ kids not up to 5 $5+.I don't get it

Sindo Cuevas

Food was cold . Staff not friendly.

oso pirutiful

Good food options very tasty

Katerina Hodges

Food was okay , I really enjoyed the vegetable lo mein, and the vegetable fried rice. I went on Mother's Day so it was really packed, and I wasn't able to get the strawberries I wanted because every time I went up they were already being taken. Customer service was okay but didn't get any drink refills at all. Seem to be rushing us out at the end and we barely even ate that much two plates.

Juan Acosta

Good food

Ronan Mclaughlin

Mariela Duenas

Good prices, always fresh food

Isaiah Quiah

Great buffet

Cognitive Dissonance Free

They are racist and the food isn't good any more

Midnight Ice

Some of the food like the seafood was cold when it was suppose to be hot. The wait staff was to pushy for you to pay bill after they give u the check 5 sec ago when u not ready to leave. But the ice cream was good

B J

Food is OK. I hate when you go to a buffet and the waitress there is just staring at you the whole time. Its so uncomfortable.

patricia jackson2

I took my family yesterday an we ate the food was a little cold like I had the ribs an the BBQ was pouring off the rib like they just took the bottle an poured it on them. Also when my family was leaving we were bothered by the waitress keep asking us for a tip I the more we refuse the mad she got I felt bothered by this so be careful people can eat were they want but why spend your money an be disappointed

Dianithe Hector

There is not enough variety, the food is sub par and the waitress really are aggressive with you to leave a tip.

Timothy Miller

If you can’t get full here then you are not hungry.

Mark Jordan

Keeping it a thousand with everyone. The food here wasn't all that. It was expensive for no reason. The food wasn't even hit. As I sat down my food was already cold. On top of that, what buffet DOESNT have watermelon in the fruit section ?! Highly disappointed. As we were leaving the guy didn't let us leave without giving a tip. I honestly do not recommend this place to anyone. Unless you like cold food and no watermelon. Go at your own risk !!

Sandy Cadet

It has good food and usually has alot of people there

Catherine Tillery

I've been going there since 2008 with my children. I love this place. The food is fresh and the employees are kind, respectful.

Goddess Red Johnson

Love sushi and there food is always fresh

Moon Shard

It's okay nothing worth traveling too far; but the service is friendly and it's clean and affordable

Joe

Great service amazing food and one-of-a-kind experience I absolutely love it!

Martine Joseph

First time there not bad will be back

Leslie Knight

This place in Elizabeth, NJ was recomnended to my family so we tried it out. On the positive side it was clean, well staffed, the cost is about average to other buffets and they had a very nice food selection. On the negative side many of the hot food items were cold (at 4pm on a Wednesday) and drinks were not brought out as we requested. I hope this was an isolated oversight as I would still like to keep them on my list for now.

Aashique Masum

Place for hungry People

Alpha Wendi

The food was alright. I've personally had better and there weren't that many variations. The bathroom was decent and the staff were alright. Wouldn't really go there again.

OnlySkye

A lot of diverse options but the food was sitting out a little too long. I had symptoms of food poisening after I went home that same day.

Stephanie Wheeler

1 WORD... AWEFUL!!!!!

Ivette Santiago

Very nice place the girls and guys are nice and friendly

Marshall Hill

They water down the tea some times. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is normally ok. The prices are really good. Not a place to take your first date.
