Far East Buffet — Restaurant in Wethersfield

So my gf and I come to this place once a week and have been for about 5 months since moving into the area. We LOVE it!

Know this - this is not a 5 star restaurant nor is it the buffet at a casino. But it’s clean, delicious and priced right. 2 of us eat dinner with all you can drink soft drinks and tip for $30.37. Lunch is even cheaper! Can’t beat it for all you can eat.

So this food is mainly Americanized Chinese. From the wok you’ll see dishes such as General Tso Chicken, Ckn and Broccoli, Beef with Broccoli, Mongolian Beef, sautéed green beans, beef with mixed vegetables, stuffed mushrooms, pork with vegetables, boneless pork ribs, some shrimp sautéed dishes, bok choi and few others plus a constant rotation of new items.

Casserole-ish items will include a seafood bake(amazing), spinach bake and a couple others.

Fried food will include egg rolls, spring rolls, fried shrimp, pork ribs, mini doughnut’s, chicken wings, coconut shrimp, potstickers, sweet and sour chicken, chicken on a stick, calamari and others

For soups they always have hot and sour, egg drop and wonton with the wontons in a bucket that you add so you can have as many as you want and their not soggy.

They have a nice little salad bar with fresh fruit plus a desert table with a bunch of little goodies suck as cake and cream puffs and ice cream!

All the food tastes great and is always plentiful. They are very good about drink refills and refilling ten buffet stations.

Do yourself a favor and try it out. We used to like to drive to Pacific Grill in Wallingford but we go here...

Let's establish the important things first...

-This is not Nobu. But you knew that walking in the door. -After tax and the drink charge, you pay about $10 for lunch or $13 for dinner. Dirt cheap, so manage your expectations. -Food safety precautions are good, seating is plenty, and they have a few TVs to distract you from the undeniable fact that you've essentially chosen to eat at a slop trough for humans.

The dinner spread doesn't include anything fancy like crab legs or oysters, but there are several kinds of shrimp dishes. Not available at lunch, as is usually the case at Chinese buffets. That's why it's cheaper.

Personal favorites: Chicken teriyaki on a stick, fried dumplings (only at lunch for some reason), lo mein, chicken & broccoli, the lightly fried shrimp at dinner (not the battered kind), crab Rangoon, and surprisingly, their Texas toast garlic bread...

I mean this semi-seriously: leave your dignity at the door before stepping in here. And for goodness sake leave the ladies a dollar or two! They may not be taking your orders or serving your food, but they've still got a lot to do, including cleaning up after your disgusting, sad slob self. Come on, don't be a cheapass.

Now you know the deal with cheap Chinese buffets. They're like a moped - fun every once in a while, but you wouldn't exactly want your friends to catch you doing it either...

I've been going here for 10 YEARS! WOW! One of my good friends introduced me to this place decent food for a decent price right, right. They recently opened back up Yayyyy I was sooo excited I've been craving some sauted shrimp and coconut shrimp.The lo mein was always my favorite very succulent and satisfying. The chicken wings were bomb too, ppl wings had me chewing on the wing ding. They also had these smothered mussels or clams yummy! Corn on the cob pleasing.... oh oh they had these stuffed mussels that was out of this world I wish I knew what was in them. However; the menu has changed and the food just does not do it for me anymore. Post covid Far East Sucks. I wish they would bring back the sauted shrimp and stuffed mussels.

UPDATE: I have recently visited and they did not fail me! The veggie lo mein was succulent, it seems like someone is listening the saute shrimp is BACK & DELICIOUS the stuff mushrooms are a hit nothing compared to the stuffed mussels anywho, the cold bar was mouth watering with fresh fruit and dessert. The dinner crowd is nonstop especially on Friday evening so get there early. Also I tried the crawfish these are a jewel...
