Asian Buffet Grill - Matthews

Showed up at 3:52 and was told they start charging for dinner at 3:50. Sign says dinner starts at 4:00. I 've been eating there twice a month for years. Was never told dinner starts 10 minutes early. $5.00 more for dinner. I deleted my 5 star rating from 4 years ago. No yelling are Karen with the owner, I just went across the street to Golden Corral. Will never go back. There are to many Chinese restaurants. Oh, one is 1/2 mile down the street.

Cool spot to try out. Very big so they can house alot of people. Food was fresh for the most part. Your typical China buffet. I didn't really care for the dungeoness crabs like most folks did but it was neat to know it was at my disposal. The ice cream is a must! Not sure what they put in there but it was good! We had a good dinner in experience especially with our party of 14. Our server always made sure our drinks were filled. Thank you!

Stopped here for dinner on our way through Matthews. Buffet and Hibachi grill were good. Waitress kept my tea glass full, which was definitely a plus. The atmosphere was nice. Will be back on our next trip through town.Food: 4/5

I'm really sad to have to write this review.The restaurant has severely fallen in food quality. At least during the week, every time I've gone during dinner time, I've noticed that they leave old food out and don't even try to make it look nice for the dinner rush. Leaving food out for a few hours isn't necessarily a problem, but it gets left out for so long that the food looks either dried out or rancid.I went with my family a couple of days ago for dinner one day this week at around 6:30 or 7 PM, and the sushi bar was full of old torn up and nasty looking sushi. like sushi that had been picked at and someone just re-plated it or something.For a while now, for about the last 6-7 months, I've noticed that even the noodles haven't been fresh, even when it's lunch rush instead of dinner and especially during the weekend rush. The noodles are always heavily covered in oil and it has drastically changed the flavor of my favorite noodles. They were my favorite noodles from any Asian restaurant, and now I don't even bother getting them anymore.They also have cheaped out on the dumplings too. They used to serve good quality delicious dumplings, but have now started using these severely low quality smaller dumplings that I'm pretty sure are frozen dumplings I can find at my local Aldi. I know because I used to buy them, and the tastes between the Aldi brand and the ones the restaurant use taste extremely similar in it's poor taste and quality.In addition to all of this, and what makes it so bad, is that I recommended this restaurant to a friend and he went to try it. He got the crab and butter with the crunchy cheese on top, and when he was about to eat it, he noticed that the crab was rancid/spoiled and that there was a strange odor coming form them.I'm not going to give this place a 1 star review because I'm holding out hope that it will get better. I don't know if there was a change in management or a loss in profit but I really used to love this place and I came here with my dad every Saturday ever since I was 13 or 14.If it's a loss in profit then they should maybe serve less food with better quality. I'd rather have less options that taste amazing over more options that leave me disappointed every time I eat there.Hoping this restaurant can turn around and get back to it's former glory.

I have eaten here years ago and food was good. Returned today, and most buffet foods looked like they were sitting there all day. Not fresh whatsoever. The veggies in the stir fries were faded, not brightly colored, as it should. Severely disappointed.2 years ago the cost of the weekend buffet was $15.99. Today it was $23.99.
