Dietary restrictions: I didn't add any soy sauce to not add additional sodium to my daily intake. Most people with dietary restrictions will enjoy dining at Foo Chow if they are mindful of what foods are okay or bad for their diet.

The staff was friendly, but the food was disappointing and not worth the price at all!

The food selection was decent, but the flavors were pretty basic, which is typical for a Chinese buffet. Unfortunately, the skirt steak in the steak and pepper dish had been over-marinated, resulting in a somewhat slimy texture that was less than appetizing. However, the sesame chicken and spare ribs were quite good. Since it's a buffet in Louisiana, you can expect the usual boiled crawfish and shrimp. Overall, it’s a typical Chinese buffet experience: the place was clean, the staff was quick, and the food was just okay. I have to admit that I'm a bit of a food snob when it comes to Asian cuisine, having lived in Southeast Asia for many years and tasted authentic dishes directly from the source. It can be tough to fairly evaluate a place like this when you've enjoyed homemade gyoza and yakisoba.

Prices are clearly posted, we had seafood-shrimp and frog legs-on the buffet and no surprise charges on our bill. We also didn't get more food than we could eat so we had little waste on our plates. They serve crawfish. A couple came in after us and ordered 2 huge plates of mud bugs. I don't know if it is a separate thing to order or if it is also on the buffet. I don't like them so i didn't look for them on the buffet, if they were on the buffet line, i didn't even notice.

Our bill for a family of four, including three drinks and a water, came to $75. If I had known it would be that pricey, I would have prepared a meal of better quality for the same or a lower cost. I won't be returning.

Other than that, it's a great buffet with delicious dishes in a clean setting, all at reasonable prices.

I absolutely love the buffet choices, and the prices are fantastic. The seafood is only available during dinner. Prices are from November 2023. read more I absolutely love the buffet choices, and the prices are fantastic. The seafood is only available during dinner. Prices are from November 2023.

The wait staff was quick to pick up the plates off the table and getting refills for your drinks. I guess if you ate one asian buffet you ate them all.. same food selection..

Overall, it was a satisfactory dining experience, but I believe there is potential for enhancements in several areas.

The chicken on a stick was served without the stick but was incredibly flavorful. The coconut shrimp was the best I've ever had at a buffet! However, I had to deduct a star due to my experience with the ice cream and frozen desserts. I sampled two items: a popsicle and an ice cream sandwich, both of which were freezer-burned and dehydrated. This suggests that these items either don’t sell quickly or aren’t rotated properly during inventory restocking. I checked a few other packages, and they felt similarly unappetizing. While desserts aren’t usually the main attraction at buffets, I think they would be better off with a simple soft serve machine and cones instead.

As I was filling my container with food, I noticed they didn't have any egg rolls available. I mentioned this to one of the staff members, and he assured me that they would be ready soon. However, after waiting for 10 minutes, they still hadn't arrived, so I ended up leaving without them. It's surprising that a Chinese restaurant would run out of such a staple item. Overall, I would rate my experience one star, and the food a three.

Everything was hot and fresh, even though it was after 2 PM. Our server, Bruce, was attentive and efficient. I will definitely be returning!
