    Mostly gross. Starting with the positives, the sushi was fresh and pretty good. The apple pies were delicious. The brewed iced tea was better than most, and the waitress kept up with our refills. My family enjoyed the squash, and the teriyaki chicken was fine. The negatives – the worst general tso’s chicken and mongolian pork I have ever had. After the first round, we all had a nasty taste in our mouths that we struggled to mask. The ice cream machine was severely constipated. The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned in hours, or maybe days. I felt sick when I left. I’m sure Soldiers in search of a quick and inexpensive meal fill their tables during lunch, and I hate to think of the impact Eastern Buffet is having on our national security.

    Update. Ate here today and the sushi was much better. The sushi chef was able to keep up with the demand and the sweet little tofu pouches, filled with rice and seaweed, were back. Something was missing in the rice, though I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Good variety of sushi today. I believe there are two male sushi chefs working there now and the guy there today is the better of the two. Guess I’ll have to see who is working before I decide to eat there next time.25 Jun, 2011Was great…problems lately. My husband and I go here weekly. My main interest has been the sushi buffet. They had a female sushi chef who was GREAT, but she has left and gone to New York. The replacement who is there now is really not able to keep up with the traffic. What used to be an always-full and beautiful sushi buffet, is now no better than buying sushi at the grocery store. It is very sad.The rest of the buffet food is good. Usually fresh and plentiful. They serve lots of seafood. The fried fish is great. House Chicken is great and very spicy. Plenty of variety for those who like Asian food and those who prefer more American-style food such as macaroni and cheese, chicken wings, sirloin steak, and potato wedges. This really is a place where everyone can find something they like.Problems are the inadequate sushi chef and it seems they are not refreshing the buffet items as often as they used to do. Last time we were there, a woman was giving the owner/manager a piece of her mind, loudly. They offer crab legs if you pay something like $25. Well, this woman’s parents were there for the crab legs and they’d been waiting for like 20 minutes for more crab legs to be brought out. I don’t blame her for getting mad. If I was paying $25 for a crab leg buffet, I’d be totally pissed if there were none out and I had to wait so long for them. I overheard the manager making excuses, which I really hate to hear, saying that they take time. Really? How long does it take to steam some crab legs? I was really disappointed in his response. He’s had equally unimpressive responses to my pleas for more sushi.I hope they get their act together or we will stop going there…soon.

    Best Chinese buffet in town. It’s cheap and easy. Best greasy Chinese buffet in town.

    Good food, good value. The food is quite good, and the sushi is decent, but far from spectacular. Also good prices. I have had better in DC and New York, but let’s face it, Columbia is neither DC nor New York. For the area, this is one of the best buffets I’ve found.
