Norwich Buffet — Restaurant in Town of Norwich

Newish all you can eat buffet in town. A fairly unassuming location that is the main driver for the strip mall. Inside is a newly renovated space that is bright and lively, where air con units and televisions line opposite walls. Volume for the TVs were kept low or muted where instead the ambiance is established by a soft, soothing string instrumental. There is a small seating/waiting area near the front, with the remainder of the floor open for dining and buffet stations. All the extra space does make expansions of either the buffet or dining area in the future possible, but does add to the walking distance for those used to the smaller footprint.

There are 4 hot stands, soup endpiece, salad and desert long bar,  dedicated sushi area, and ice cream station available to choose from. Food was plentiful and kept well stocked for the lunch rush. There were a good number of bite sized options and regular servings of entrees. Unfortunately for a dedicated sushi station during peak service hours, there was a lack of any raw fish. The selection consisted of imitation crab and other cooked rolls. Perhaps the dinner rush is different, but I would not be able to vouch for availability then.

Worth a drop in to see what's new and improved compared to the downtown Main...

A 3 out of 5 star review for Norwich Buffet reflects a mixed experience—neither poor nor outstanding, but simply average overall.

The buffet offers a good variety, especially for those who enjoy Chinese-American cuisine, sushi, and favorites like orange chicken or dumplings. The price is affordable, portions are plentiful, and the location is kept fairly clean, even during busy dinner hours.

Plenty of dishes to choose from—chicken, seafood, stir-fry, and even a sushi bar are available.

All-you-can-eat makes it a solid option for families or groups searching for variety at a reasonable cost.

Staff tend to be friendly and responsive.

Some dishes can be hit-or-miss; popular items may be fresh.

While generally clean, the environment is standard for a strip-mall buffet, lacking standout ambiance.

Norwich Buffet is reliable for a quick meal and plenty of choices, but doesn’t rise above average. Worth a visit for convenience and value, but not a memorable...

This place is awful. The building is filthy. The bathroom literally smelled like someone smoked a cigarette in it and apparently, it never gets cleaned.The food must have been in the warmer all day long. I took one bite and that was it for me. I looked over at my waitress and she was sitting on a stool by her station, she pulled down her mask, picked her nose, and sat there scrolling on her phone for 10 minutes with her left hand while rolling whatever she pulled out of her nose between her fingers with her right hand. This is the most disgusting place I have ever been. Neither myself, nor anyone in my family will ever come back here. The health department needs to shut this place down. If zero stars was an option, I...
