Reviews of Ming Court Buffet & Grill (Restaurant)

Carrie Anne

It is currently 6:40 pm on Sunday night. The food is old, dry and nasty. Our party of 3 didn’t eat even a 3rd of our plate. The entire building smells a stinky smell. The carpets are half ripped up, ceiling tiles are stained. This place really went to hell. It’s been around 3 years since we ate here, after getting our food, we remembered why it’s been so long. Over priced old food. If I could I’d give 0 stars, 1 is more then they deserve.

Barry Holman

Good food! Excellent service!!

Roy Kline

Good food. Good prices.

Libuse Karich

Buffet style pretty okay fare, friendly wait staff. They need to select a happier host that first impression at the front matters.

Jaclyn Haddock

The crab casserole is my favorite, but is sometimes less flavorful & more greasy. Good selection. Their dumplings are awesome. Nice people, never an issue.

tom SHEPARD

Good food!

Patti Swayze

Excellent Food!!! Great Service ..buffett was kept fresh

Gregory Platt

Decent for Chinese trough. Timing for visit is key: AVOID if they are slow as food is old. If busy, food is decent for a buffet.

VERNON DUPREE

Very good very fresh

Johnnie Welborn

One of the most disappointing experiences I have had lately . First time there and surely the last . The only good thing I had was the iced tea . I was there at 4:30 and it seems that the food was left over from lunch . Very poor taste of what was there . Finally decided they could not screw up boiled shrimp . They were good but any fool can cook shrimp .

Thomas Williams

HORRIBLE, one of the plates were dirty, the waitress let the old plates pile up. She kept giving us dirty looks and ask me several times while i was still eating if i was gonna pay. Not even worth the one star but had to give to post.

Latanya Hogan

Food is good, service is excellent

westley johnson

They seem a little high on the pricing till you start piling your plate at the buffet, hibachi grill, or sushi bar and realize the food is totally worth the price. I've only been to lunch but, id love to go for dinner.

Mrs Bruce

Great food,clean place.Besides the gentlman at the front we thought he was going to seat us but he just overlooked us until a young lady came up and seated us.When we were ready to go my fiance was about to pay he didnt even acknowledge him handing him the card not once did he speak to us or asked if we enjoyed our food he never looked up which was highly rude.But overall the food is great and fresh and I'm very picky!

Andrew Geary

Charged way too much 2 people was $30.00 food was old could have went to a steak house for that price not impressed at all will never go back

Brandon Fossie

Didn't have to wait long and they kept the buffet stocked.

Brandy Reynolds

Faye Starnes

Kathy Baird

The Food was good as always! The Waiter wasn't friendly & the guy that check me out wasn't friendly either!

Lisa Fann

upon entering mings court buffet the hostess asked us if we wanted a table or booth, i requested a sitting area off to the side where clearly there were other people dining in this spot, the hostess proceded to get angry and stomped off towards that area while saying something to the man at counter, she was very rude in asking what we wanted to drink, we then proceded to the hibachi grill and waited for our food to be cooked in the time it took for the chef to cook it and sitting down to eat,, the man behind the pay counter brought our check over and shoved it at me and said are you done? my reply is yes sir we are done, done with being paying customers in an establishment that has very rude employees and just tacky as hell! total time we were in there was less than 30 minutes i believe i would rather give my money to another restaurant and happily pay for food poison than to get it from an establishment that has had aweful service and food in the past ! will not return

Carolyn Triplett

Very good service

jack neiter

My wife loves eating here.the buffet for s always good.

Spencer Crosby

When I this location opened it was amazing. I came here as often as possible when I was in highschool and after when leaving my national guard unit. I just visited for the first time in years after talking my dad into it rather than Nori which is in the same strip. Long story short: the food was terrible. Bourbon chicken smelled like cigarette butts and tasted like old coffee grounds. Crawfish was overcooked to the point of the meat being grey and mushy. Green beans had no flavor and were undercooked. When I mentioned the flavor of the bourbon chicken to the manager his response was a shrug followed by, "They just made. Is new. I eat all the time." Will not be returning and will be advising anyone who asks not to go at all. I've never had a problem with a language barrier, but not caring enough to try to understand is not forgivable. I paid $30 for terrible food for 2.

Raymond Cox

Best Chinese buffet in Dickson good selection, habachi , serve beer

Angel Niamtu

This place is hit or miss. Unfortunately, most often, the food is just not good. But on the rare chance that the food is good, it is a good place to eat. Quite pricey and, on most trips, not worth the price. If you want consistent, delicious Asian cuisine, go just next door to Nori.

For the price, varity and quality, Ming Cort Chinese Buffet is one of the best places that can be found. It has beed for 10 years. I eat there every Time I get yhe chance.

Heather Poelstra

Food is always good here. Staff is okay, could be a little more friendly, that is the only reason I didnt give them 5 stars. But we go there for the food, which as I said is always good so I still highly recommend them.

Samantha Garcia

Great Buffet, Eat Here At Least 2-4 Times A Month. A Bit Overpriced. But Worth It.

George Collison

Great Chinese Restaurant, well stocked buffet and the food is always hot/fresh.

Stan Street

Very good for small town Chinese. The buffet has three large steam tables, two large cold tables, sushi, and ice cream. You can also have hibachi or order from an extensive menu if you like. The food is quite good and typically fresh. And $8 out the door is hard to beat.

Kenneth Heidger

They have awesome hibachi inside, included with the buffet!

stephen Caksackkar

Variety of chicken dishes..seafood..veggies..would like to see more variety on there salad bar. Kids like the pizza n ice cream

Charles Feely

Food is hot and good

firemedic2u

They've lost being great primarily due to the front management. They need to hire a friendly guy for up front not a hateful chinese old man that seems mad at the world

James Vaughn

Best buffet in town

G. Sepich

A friend and I ate lunch at this eatery on Wednesday, the 10th. of October 2018 at 1100. The waiter was not friendly, and the older man at the cash register was very unfriendly. The food was typical and average quality and taste. Overall, a good lunch stop. However, I won't go back due to the unfriendly staff, especially the older man at the cash register. I'm not sure he even spoke one word to me during the payment transaction.

Terry Just

Yesterday I went there for a late lunch. We got there around 1:30. Some of my food was cold. Others were hard from sitting too long. Any dishes with meat in them such as the pepper steak the meat was like rubber and you couldn't chew it. It was by far the worst Chinese food experience I've ever had. We tried to complain to the owner but he just had this attitude like he didn't care. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Jessica Pike

Nice big buffet and plenty of options for everyone. The waitress was really nice also.

Steve Palmer

Good food. Easy in and out.

christy nunes

Very good, i love the take out option. Their chicken on a stick is so,yummie

Roger Scalf

SoniaG Word

Food is good, but restaurant needs cleaning carpets, blinds, chairs etc dirty dirty

Cheyenne Stewart

Delicious delicious food. Quiet and very relaxing

Jennifer Eggleston

Food was ok at best for a bar. Staff there is just rude

Kima Curtis

Always great. FYI the stuff that looks kinda like honey mustard dressing on the salad bar is actually horseradish

White Rabbit

Ming Court is a place I sometimes crave. Why? I'm not sure. I like the convenience of a local buffet. All you can eat Chinese. Sounds great, huh? Sometimes after eating here my stomach doesn't feel right. I feel queasy, like I just ate something I shouldn't have. The buffet is often lukewarm and not fresh. Sometimes it's great but a lot of times I get that bad feeling afterward. I get the sense that the place is kinda dirty. I don't know why this place is so popular. It's pretty lackluster.

Punjabi Haveli cooking channel

Food is good and hot , the older guy taking payment is extremely nice to all guests however the owner has a very hostile attitude and makes you uncomfortable she uses her title as owner to intimidate guests she has no customer service skills at all she shouldn’t be working in the food industry if she can’t have customer service

Karen Denning

Awesome & very reasonably priced!

Crystal Haley

It's horrible, there were rats running across the floor. Service was tragic. Worst place I've ever been

Sparksgirl

DDR England

Rude server. Rushed us out tonight. Took our plates we were still eating on. I actually had my fork touching my plate when she took it. Brought our ticket and kept pacing back and forth... stood there and waited for the money while we were eating. We will never be back. We were not in there long and couldn't even finish our 1st plate. They may as well shut down if they don't want people to come. Ruined our only date night in months. Thanks. Don't waste your money. Waverly is better anyway.

Kathy Bradford

We love to eat there we have our favorite waitress.

DragonGamer HD

Always have great food. But as any buffet goes best time for fresh fresh food is right when they switch from breakfast to lunch or lunch to dinner.

Ted Brooks

Was visiting my best friend in Dickson the other day who took me to this wonderful restaurant great food nice people...

TheEnglishMuffin

Great food great waiters definitely my go to place to eat they have a wide selection

Jo Barnett

Service and food was not good at all. The food on the buffet was cold and we had to get our own drink refills. We will not be returning. The one good thing about the visit was the egg drop soup it was really good.

Lisa Burr

Watress a little pushy. Food was good

Deana LeeAnne Famous

There were plenty of choices the food was good

Tamara Gilbert

Fairly nice visit today. Fresh and clean experience.

John Bailey

Ming Court is the place to go if your looking for a Chinese buffet. They have a great selection on their bars. It's a little cheaper to go during lunch hours but still same great food. Very friendly employees and good customer service. Parking could be better but other than that its worth the time and money to go.

Amber Bishop

The hostess needs an attitude adjustment. She was extremely rude and stood and stared at our group the entire time we was there. We had some of the toddlers in our group bring in Happy meals to eat they only eat nuggets if they eat out of the house. She was convinced,I'm assuming, that we was lying, and that they was really going to the eat off their buffet. Not all people are dishonest. That was first time in years I've actually went in to eat. Over the past year when I'm in town , we usually would order pickup. I'm glad I did go in though. I will not be returning, not even for pickup, or recommending.

Richard Wharton

Better than average buffet. Includes 8 varieties of sushi. Food was well prepared and fresh.

Marie Steinmetz

Jeremy Waters Enterprises

Shonda Carver

JaxBch 2Tennessee

Best Chinese buffet i have eaten at too this day.... i won't go anywhere for Chinese but here

Tommy Bradford

Restaurant was good at one time but has seem to go downhill. There was a shrimp in floor by salad bar waiters or waitress didn't pick it up and was smashed into floor .My wife got a spring roll and took 1 bite of it pulling out a long hair cooked into it. Manager tried to say it wasn't theirs, said their hair was short . The waitresses hair was all long . I enjoyed this restaurant along time ago but not so much now.

Ashley Overbey

Pretty good but the standards have gone down lately

Sue Brown

Really good food an really great service . Staff are always very friendly .

Jeanne Bastin

Good selection of Chinese and American food. Will go back often

Chris Dugan

Food is hit or miss on flavor

aurelio rincon

The carpet was in desperate need of shampooing and vaccuming, some of the food had set out for long periods of time and we're just bland and tasteless and some of the employees were arguing half the time. I DO NOT recommend coming here it's not so family friendly.

Willy Lee

Good food ,good prices, good golly Mrs. Molly...lol

WBROCKSTAR

Good food,great selection.I wish their buffet to go containers were bigger,but doesn't everybody.Normal prices.

Michelle Curtis

Love love love it here. always leave here soooo full the food is terrific

Owen Gard

Perfectly good Chinese buffet with a wide selection, including a lot of western food (like fried potato slices). But it has no alchohol license or distinctive atmosphere. Probably the best thing about it is the midweek lunch buffet price. It's exceptionally good value, if you are in to QUANTITY of decent Chinese!

Tenacious Tonya Heathco

An old family favorite. Wide variety of food on the buffet to please adults and children. Priced reasonably to fit average budget. Relaxed atmosphere with pleasant service.

Amy Bowdoin

It could be worse, lol.

Bob Fuller

One of the few asian buffets around for 20+ miles. Run down, but decent food. Sushi is available. Selection is thinned, and despite ads, oysters are not available.

Carl Simpson Raven Reeves

Personally, I rarely 3 star or better for Chinese. Ming is the exception, and you visit them; you'll see exactly why. Great selection, keep buffet stocked, turned, and fresh. Really enjoy it every visit so far.

Renee Morgan

Excellent variety on multiple buffets.

Cynthia Finch

Awesome variety of different food, prices very reasonable, if you leave here hungry it's your own fault. Only problem, they stopped selling beer.

EDDIE GREEN

Food is awesome

david weir

Very nice!

Lucky Guilford

For the past few times we have been here at dinner time and half to food looks dried out. Half the trays were empty and maybe a handful of people were there. It seems to me that this place is going down hill.

Joseph Abrams

Delicious American, Chinese and Mexican food Awesome,,good prices $12.00 dollars including my tip ,,,cheaper than buying groceries.

BobbyJoe Welch

Our food was hot and fresh and good service

Bethany Davis

Really good food selection, place was clean, service was fair.

Marilyn Tidwell

Disrespected , rude ppl ask to speak to owner was hunge up on 3 times want be bk that's for sure gonna tell everyone I know about how I was treated.

Marian Brooks

Always hot food and good variety

Cheryl Grantham

I have been going here for years and have never had such awful service. I was there with a group from work for a birthday party for one of our individuals we support and they were very rude and kept staring at all of us. It was completely uncalled for. They even added a tip to our tickets like they were afraid they weren't going to get a tip.

Suzan Sullivan

My son and I got sick after eating here, when I called to tell the manager he told me I had to go to the Drs and be seen, if he wants that formal complaint towards them then so be it. Use the bathroom at your own risk, it was a mess, toilet paper all over the floor.

Lyn Kochems

My favorite buffet chinese restaurant just wiah you would have egg fu young on the bar at dinner time too

Chris Wilcher

Food is hit and miss sometimes good and sometimes bad

Carolina J.

It's an acceptable establishment to eat and I enjoyed the meal.

Kerry Dennison

A very nice selection of food and very clean I recommended

Tony Serpone

The food could be better.

justy smith

Pretty good food. The young kid that works hibachi on fridays alot is no good at it. The older guy is the best ever on a hibachi grill. Get the kid off and your a 5 star all the way

Thom Wilson

We went here as an alternative selection, and certainly glad we did!! Wonderful food!

Brenda Co

Good food, but no variety

Sarah Shanks

Great place to eat.

Brad Haskins

I am a nurse. I went to this establishment with my patient and his mom to eat. It is a rare occurrence that he gets to eat out as it is such a task to make it happen for him. He loves Chinese food and normally on these rare occurrences he chooses Ming's. It is one of the few times he gets to feel any sense of normality. Therefore I always try to make it a treat for him as it is something he enjoys so much. This patient is on a ventilator and his battery on his vent began to die soon after I had brought him his plate. I had to take him to his mother's van and hook him to his emergency charger. So he didn't get to eat. I also did not get to eat my food as I was having to deal with this situation. They refused to give this disabled man a tray to put the food in that he did not get to finish. Then charged him for food he didn't even get to eat. After I threw an absolute fit about it he finally refunded me for my untouched plate. But refused to compensate my patient in any way. You should be ashamed of yourself Ming's! I don't recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely disgusted by what you just put my patient and friend through.

Pat Stewart

The food is delicious. Staff very nice and helpful.

Jennifer Leathers

KittyGamer XoXo

Good food, terrible wobbly chairs and tables, cold mushy food later in the evening, mold on the ceiling ,rude waiters, and overall kinda dirty and messy

Raven Durham

Great variety of food.. decent prices

Jayne Heinz

Just have to say after reading some reviews I was very hesitant on taking my dad here but decided to give it a try on our way back from Nashville. Thank you to the hostess that was understanding when I said we needed to sit close by and allowed us to sit in the overflow area. The gentleman that helped getting Dad seated and the girls that came to the table. The food was great and your service impeccable.

Billy Kimbro

Ok for a quick meal but not an up scale restaurant.

Panix_At_The_Tea_Party

Let's just say the foods good but they got rules they have posted at the register where you needn't visit and are diverted from upon entering

Mary Hargraves

Awesome we can't go to Dickson with out my granddaughter hollering she wants to eat there.... It is a great place to eat

Joan Kyle

Many choices! All were very good!!

Brandie Bailey

Good and fresh food. Very clean.

Kevin Turbeville

Do not eat here if you value good manners or solid bowel movements.

sheila wills

Great place to eat great food!

69gold top

Great food the help is always so nice even though they have to be thinking these people eat to much

Joel Rediker

This place is in a downward spiral very bad service and the food is ok but the place is in need of repair and remodel very bad

Krystle Miller

Love the buffet ... Always a variety ... The sushi bar is a favorite ... Never a long wait .. quiet atmosphere on most visits ...

Genderson Hernandez

Kinda alright food, not the best in town but it is what it is and sometimes they have many empty trays with so little food on it, kinda disappointing but not to bad, the wait to be seated will take around 5 minutes during lunch hours. Some workers might ignore you and not attend you or refill your drink till you stop them, they kinda ignore you for a good bit and I don’t like that kind of service but if you do this is the right place.
