Asian Buffet Grill - Matthews

I'm really sad to have to write this review.The restaurant has severely fallen in food quality. At least during the week, every time I've gone during dinner time, I've noticed that they leave old food out and don't even try to make it look nice for the dinner rush. Leaving food out for a few hours isn't necessarily a problem, but it gets left out for so long that the food looks either dried out or rancid.I went with my family a couple of days ago for dinner one day this week at around 6:30 or 7 PM, and the sushi bar was full of old torn up and nasty looking sushi. like sushi that had been picked at and someone just re-plated it or something.For a while now, for about the last 6-7 months, I've noticed that even the noodles haven't been fresh, even when it's lunch rush instead of dinner and especially during the weekend rush. The noodles are always heavily covered in oil and it has drastically changed the flavor of my favorite noodles. They were my favorite noodles from any Asian restaurant, and now I don't even bother getting them anymore.They also have cheaped out on the dumplings too. They used to serve good quality delicious dumplings, but have now started using these severely low quality smaller dumplings that I'm pretty sure are frozen dumplings I can find at my local Aldi. I know because I used to buy them, and the tastes between the Aldi brand and the ones the restaurant use taste extremely similar in it's poor taste and quality.In addition to all of this, and what makes it so bad, is that I recommended this restaurant to a friend and he went to try it. He got the crab and butter with the crunchy cheese on top, and when he was about to eat it, he noticed that the crab was rancid/spoiled and that there was a strange odor coming form them.I'm not going to give this place a 1 star review because I'm holding out hope that it will get better. I don't know if there was a change in management or a loss in profit but I really used to love this place and I came here with my dad every Saturday ever since I was 13 or 14.If it's a loss in profit then they should maybe serve less food with better quality. I'd rather have less options that taste amazing over more options that leave me disappointed every time I eat there.Hoping this restaurant can turn around and get back to it's former glory.

I have eaten here years ago and food was good. Returned today, and most buffet foods looked like they were sitting there all day. Not fresh whatsoever. The veggies in the stir fries were faded, not brightly colored, as it should. Severely disappointed.2 years ago the cost of the weekend buffet was $15.99. Today it was $23.99.

Great customer service, didn't really like the food honestly, maybe because it wasn't fresh I don't know. Maybe it's my baby in my tummy that wasn't feeling it either. I felt sick during 1st plate, so I sat for a while to see how I felt afterwards. I got up for something else and I got egg drop soup, salmon fish, veggies and potatoes with the skin in it. I felt much better and had gotten watermelon afterwards which by the way was soo sweet and delicious ? 1st plate had egg rolls, plantains, and veggie lo mein. but details here is it does get pretty busy, plenty of parking, and wheelchair accessible, as well as kid friendly.

I joke with my family that I own this restaurant because of how often I eat at it! It’s truly amazing, I always get some food for them to cook for me and another with food they already have out. Sushi is fresh and taste delicious service is great and I always get seated quickly even on Sunday afternoons which is when it’s packed the most. Even with it being packed, the food keeps coming out of the kitchen very fresh and I personally love going when it’s packed for this reason. Highly recommended!

Good food. Big place. So many choices! Some reviews talk of empty food containers. They were full when we went for lunch. Just pick thing that they have! They also have sushi and deserts. A reasonable price. Drinks are separate. Plenty of parking in front, although the spots are not easy to get into.Food: 4/5
