Central Buffet — Restaurant in Central

Central Buffet offers a diverse dining experience with its range of options, including the recently reintroduced hibachi, which has significantly improved in quality. The buffet-style restaurant caters to various tastes, making it a popular spot for both casual meals and special occasions.

Ambiance: The restaurant provides a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. It's a suitable place for family gatherings, as well as a quick meal with friends.

Food: The hibachi is a standout feature, delicious and much improved from previous visits. However, there have been inconsistencies in the quality of other menu items. Some diners have experienced subpar meals, while others have enjoyed their dining experiences.

Service: The service at Central Buffet can be hit or miss. Some customers have praised the staff for their kindness and attentiveness, while others have encountered less satisfactory service. For example, one visitor was disappointed when a waitress remained on her phone throughout their meal and shorted their change. Additionally, another diner experienced an issue with an automatic gratuity charge that was not communicated properly, leading to a confrontation at the front desk.

Overall: Central Buffet has the potential to provide a pleasant dining experience with its variety of offerings and improved hibachi. However, the restaurant needs to address service inconsistencies and communication issues regarding billing and gratuity to ensure a consistently positive experience for all customers. Despite these challenges, it remains a place worth visiting for its diverse menu and improved food quality.

Would eat here again: Yes, with the hope that service improvements will enhance the overall...

Good and fresh food for a buffet! Plenty of options. Yes, they have sushi and hibachi! Service was quick and polite. I went at around 1pm on a Tuesday and paid $13.99 per person (not incl. drinks)

I also took a drive thru combo meal (shrimp & veg, fried shrimp, noodles, egg roll, + fried donuts) home to my sister. She said she liked it.

Anyway, the food: Sushi: tough rice Sweet & sour chicken: tender and juicy; just as good as takeout Chicken on a stick: tender and juicy Dumplings: crispy, but the dipping sauce needed more tang Chicken wings: soft-skinned because they're tossed in a tangy, mildly spicy sauce instead of fried Lo mein: standard buffet quality Chicken & broccoli: delicious; just as good as takeout Beef & onion: slightly salty, but good Shrimp & veg: standard buffet quality Mushrooms: standard buffet quality Fried crab puff: crispy and tasty Fried scallop: crispy but bland Seasoned fries: dry Mozzarella sticks: soft but tasty Ice cream: soft serve; standard buffet quality Oranges: very tangy, juicy, and easy to peel

Oh, and the men's...

The food and desserts are very delicious but the service is terrible, specifically a waitress who complains about the tips that customers leave and starts talking about the customers with the other colleagues thinking that one does not understand them and it looks very bad on one, that gave me a bad moment in our evening my family and I felt very discriminated and that discredited from a place as beautiful as that people like that people like that should not work in a place that interacts with the client I hope they take into account the experience of each customer who decides their services and that they pay attention to the people who work in their premises who are prudent and are not so ignorant to worry about what the customers with their will decide to tip because it is not an obligation to do so I hope they take action on the matter because I am not the first person to whom this happens with that waitress that waitress that unfortunately I do not...
