**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences** At first glance, the restaurant entices with a diverse menu, including Korean-Chinese offerings, but the reality often falls short. Diners have reported food that is underwhelming in flavor and presentation, with cold, stale items and questionable hygiene practices, such as cross-contamination. While some highlights include fresh seafood dishes, a lack of attention to detail, empty food stations, and inadequate service leave appetites unsatisfied. Priced around $21.50 for dinner, many patrons feel the experience is not worth the cost, leading to disappointed return visits. Ultimately, this establishment struggles to meet expectations of quality and hospitality.

We won't be returning. We came in based on the reviews, but it wasn't as great as we expected. Food options were limited, and many items were empty. We had to ask someone for refills since no one came to check on us. Also, the bathrooms need attention; they were not in good condition. View all feedback.
What Peggy Sue Baltz dislikes about Buffet Palace:
The food was disappointing and lacked flavor. I enjoy Chinese cuisine, but this was the worst experience I've had. I also prefer a salad bar, and there wasn’t one available. If you like it, that’s fine; I’m just sharing my opinion as a fan. Sorry! View all feedback.
I had visited this restaurant a few years ago while living in Bryan, TX, and I had been eager to bring my son so he could enjoy the great food. We arrived around 11:30 AM on April 11th, expecting everything to be freshly prepared. Unfortunately, my son got sick as soon as we got home and was unwell all night. Now, I regret taking him with me. We should have gone to the Catfish Parlour a few miles east instead. We spent $50 for three of us.

I noticed that the food seemed to be refried. I'm not sure if they reused leftovers from the previous day, but it tasted quite dry.
The food was cold and hard, and the sushi was served warm with a sour taste. I tried several pieces, but none of them were enjoyable. The meats were also lacking in flavor. It felt like the food had been sitting out all day, as it was both unappetizing and unappealing. Overall, the food was inedible, leading to a very disappointing experience. At $21.50 for dinner, it definitely wasn't worth it.
The quality and variety of the food are quite disappointing. They do not take precautions against cross-contamination; for instance, they used the same knife to cut oranges that they had used for cutting onions.
