Ni's China Buffet — Restaurant in Conroe

Very disappointed and not at all surprised.

My brother warned me a few years ago to stay away from this place and I should've listened, but when my roommate offered to buy dinner there I decided to give it a chance.

We arrived around 6:45 and were promptly seated. We hit the buffet and while the size of the selection was decent, the quality left much to be desired.

Everything I grabbed from the line was old, dry, cold or some combination. The dumplings were dry and tacky on top while soggy and falling apart on the bottom. The chicken was cold and chewy. The nigiri sushi looked sloppy and the sushi itself was dry (but tasted fine).

The only food I don't have much to complain about is the dessert. They all seemed fairly fresh, if not occasionally a bit bland in flavor and there was a nice variety.

The wait staff did a great job. Dishes were removed in a timely manner and they were always polite and professional. They didn't try to pull off the fake cheerfulness that many seem to prefer, but they didn't look like they hated their job either.

Due to the over all food quality I wouldn't spend my money here. It would be pretty hard to talk me into even going here again on someone else's tab. There's a few MUCH better options in town and while they may cost a couple bucks more, the small price difference is worth it.

tl;dr: While the service is nice and the price is slightly cheaper, the cold and dry food just...

It was a good stop for lunch... great service for sure too! I haven't been to a buffet in several years so I thought why not... the salad bar, fresh fruits & desserts were sure on display, looking fresh & delicious, very clean too! There was a variety of chicken dishes, then the beef pepper steak, some fish dishes & sushi too... my favorite is sweet n sour pork & the pork riblets, but I didn't see either... so a few bites of the pepper steak, some General Tso's Chicken, fried rice & egg rolls were my lunch... I really enjoyed what they have, just had hoped for a wider variety... so even though I rated as 4 stars for the food, it's only because there wasn't any sweet n sour pork - everything was very good! It's easy enough to order one of my favorite dishes at another restaurant & even have it delivered to our home... it was a spur of the moment kinda stop, just noticed it as I was leaving another store in the area... good stuff for sure, so long as ya really like chicken... oh & while I didn't sample everything, there's a really nice variety! If you do buffets then you should enjoy what they have to offer! Great soups as well, nice hot n sour, especially when you add green onion...

After reading previous reviews on this place we thought that it was going to be a good place to get great food, don't be fooled by the reviews. We were seated at 11:10 AM. The food was awful, it was nothing like the reviews made it out to be. The hot food was warm at best and the cold food was room temperature. It looks great on the buffet line but take my word, eat at your own risk. When we mentioned it to the staff they immediately sent someone over with my bill and promptly left. I tried a very small portion of everything on that buffet to make sure I was not selling them short to no avail. Greasy fried foods, way undercooked vegetables, over cooked meats and mediocre soups and salads. Because I tried everything I paid our bill but would not recommend Ni's and will not go back. Your better off going to the Waffle...
