City Buffet in Casselberry

I recently revisited City Buffet after hearing it had been "remodeled," but sadly, the changes were underwhelming. While they raised the prices, the variety of food has not improved....in fact, it seems like there are fewer options than before. The flavor has gotten better in some dishes, which is a small positive, but it doesn't make up for the lack of choices. For the current price, I expected a much wider selection and better quality overall. This used to be a much better place, with more variety and a better value for the cost. Now, it feels like the higher price is unjustified, and the so-called improvements don’t enhance the experience. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t stand out anymore.

The place has closed down temporarily because they were remodeling the inside. And it was worth it. It bigger, more comfortable, convenient, relaxing, lots of room to move around, great food selection... oh, and drum rolls!!!! They have added hibachi to their menu.... 😋 😋 😋 So much variety 😍 The place looks amazing... It's totally worth coming by and enjoying a well-deserved buffet meal. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

My parents found this buffet recently. We were visiting form Jacksonville and decided to give it a try. Let me tell you, best buffet we've ever been to! The food was fresh, hot, and tasty! The place was very clean and welcoming and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be returning when we are in town. Did not get many pictures, but the place is delicious!

So today I revisited City Buffet and boy do I have a review for you! Food: - Green Beans Crisp, seasoned well, and cooked perfectly! - Seafood and Crab mix Seasoned well and cooked perfectly! - General Tsao Chicken As we all know, this particular dish changes from location to location, but I have to say I was impressed, the chicken was cooked fully, it was a light breading with a gentle tangy sauce that was great on the stomach and tasted absolutely wonderful. Kudos to the cooks for this dish, I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've been underwhelmed eating this, it's great here! - Crab Rangoon Crisp and Tangy, a real treat! - Crab Seasoned well and cooked perfectly! - Bourbon Chicken Tender, cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly! - Hot and Sour Soup Not too hot, not too sour, just right! and full of the things we all enjoy! - Baked fish The baked fish filets were seasoned well however upon biting into a filet, the meat itself was slighly dried out, I know it's nit picking, but it wouldn't be fair if I didn't at least mention these things. I did however find the seasoning pleasant, and I attribute the drying out of the fish to be an exact result of the heat lamps, I almost wonder if basting the filets with some butter periodically while they are on the buffet line might not be a good idea to retain the moistness of the filet. - Mushrooms Again, this is nit picking, but I feel like the mushroom sauce could have been stronger with more flavor, I mean obviously we don't want to take away from the earthy flavor of the mushroom too much as that would defeat the purpose of serving mushrooms to begin with, but it could use a little help or more seasoning. The mushrooms however were cooked perfect and were a treat to eat! Service: First off, my waitress was an absolute pleasure, she smiled, was attentive to my needs, and very very perceptive. She was a real gem to have coming to my table and works smarter not harder, I love that aspect, she knew I was going to go through water pretty quickly, and brought two glasses saving her time and sparing me the guilt of having her run back and forth to my table with water, and I really appreciated it. It was also extremely pleasing to have her look me in the eye and hold even a small dialogue with me, we're all people, and there's nothing wrong with some light chatter. :) Atmosphere: I have to say, I love that they stripped out the televisions that used to be mounted along the walls, the last owners had these things on and usually on a news station, so all you ever saw was negative things when you watched it, it was somewhat depressing. Those televisions being gone couldn't be a better thing to do, instead people either have to use their phones or engage in real conversation, I think it's wonderful they are gone and am happier for it! The new paint in the dining area was also a nice touch, there's a fantastic mural on one of the walls, and I like the colors selected, it feels fresh and new. Cleanliness in the buffet was amazing, everything was clean from the tables, floors and buffet area, it's a well maintained place! it's hand's down one of, if not THE best Chinese buffet in the area at this point. Lunch prices were reasonable, the service was amazing, and food was top notch, I'd recommend anyone looking for an affordable meal with some good buffet staples, to take a ride down there and check it out for yourselves!

Wheelchair accessibility There is a ramp up into the restaurant and plenty of space for traversing the tables/booths and dining areas.

I'm an avid Chinese buffet lover, and this place was NOT it. Came for lunch at 130 in the afternoon. EVERYTHING on the buffet was ICE COLD and old. Terrible. I'm from Daytona, so I was just in town for a minute and stopped for a bite to eat. Never again. I hope I don't get sick 🤢.

As many of the other reviews state the staff is Very Friendly. The Food Variety is Very Good. I will try the Hibachi grill next time it looked Appetizing. There is a Large section of Fruit & Desserts. The entire restaurant & bathrooms are Very Clean. City Buffet has a wide Variety of foods. They have local coupons which they Gladly accept. Plenty of parking. Go see them! Cheers! Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

My family and I have been coming here since the remodel and it's great. The good is delicious. We've had no real issues. The restaurant is clean, the staff is attentive. My only issue is the music. It's a little loud. I didn't mind the Asian music they've been playing, however we heard songs with some foul language and I don't think it is appropriate. I don't want to listen to music with a stream of cuss words in a family restaurant. Also, please fix your website. It takes you to Facebook and "New Peking", that's not even your name anymore. Time for an update with some accurate info. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes California Roll, Sushi
