Empire Buffet Dewitt Reviews
service was great! the chicken does taste like fish though
Great food, decent price and good service. Friendly family environment as well.
Always love coming here with friends and family! Very friendly staff and good food. I definitely recommend the lunch special on the weekdays
This is a tasty buffet, with lots of options. Everything I tried was good, and I thought the food tasted better than some of the non-buffet Asian restaurants in the area. Plenty of mains, sides, and dessert options. Service was quick, I never had to wait more than a few seconds for a staff member, they were all on top of their game. Well worth the money.
Love it here! It was worth the drive. The food was hot, fresh all the time, comfortable, clean seating, plenty of parking, I've been waiting for a Chinese buffet to open back up in the oneida/ new hartford, Rome area but they never will so we took a chance and it was everything we missed for so long!
Empire Buffet is one of my favorite places to eat in Syracuse. It’s a Chinese buffet with a wide variety of dishes, and everything is always fresh and well-prepared. I really love the food and always leave feeling satisfied. Besides the good experience every time, the best part is that the prices are very affordable. It’s a great spot to go with family or friends and enjoy a meal without spending too much. The place is spacious, clean, and the service is friendly. I definitely recommend it if you’re in Syracuse and looking for tasty, budget-friendly food with lots of options.
Good food, and amazing staff. The hostess seated us very quickly, and the waitress was so attentive! She quickly re-filled our drinks and took our plates. They were both so sweet. The food was great! It was very flavorful, and everything that was supposed to be warm was warm, and everything that was supposed to be cold was cold. I loved that they had ice cream. You don't see that at many buffets anymore! It was also very clean. The tables, seats, silverware, and cups were spotless. The plates were still warm from coming out of the dishwasher when I went up to get my food. Overall, it's a great buffet! They also sell beautiful earrings, claw clips, and watches at the front register.
This place always has hot food that's ready for my tummy! They have American food, Japanese food, and Chinese food :-). The staff is always nice and they are fast to bring you a drink refill when your cup looks slightly low, I love it. You get your fortune cookies at the end and maybe your luck will be as amazing as the food is here!
Food is always plentiful, wide variety, worth the money. Would highly recommended to family and friends.
First time back in a couple of years since Covid. Did not disappoint. Tons of fresh, hot choices. Buffet includes fresh fruit, salads, all the popular Chinese dishes, full sushi bar and a fresh hib…
The seating was spacious and clean, we were taken to our table right away and they spaced us out nicely so as to not be crowded on others. The food was fresh and delicious. Good lunch. Very attentive service.
Large dining area, great service, food is 7/10 fresh and rarely looks like it's been sitting for hours. Very attentive staff who are always coming out and checking the food. Sometimes they switch up some ingredients. For instance I love the baked spinach and cheese dish. More than a few times it seems their spinach was dark and brownish, long and very stringy. Other times it's very green and bright and tastes like it was fresh spinach. I always leave full off one plate and some soup.
They had good food and lots of options but we're extremely overpriced. Saturdays are $15 a person plus drinks and tax. It Costed $75 for 4 of us. That's the most I've ever paid and all you can eat buffet. I do love going to this place but only gave four stars because of price but definitely recommended. They are busy every time we go.
It's the best Chinese American buffet I've found in the Syracuse/Utica area. Good variety and always fresh!

The food was decent, lots of variety but it was typical buffet food. My problem is with the service. We were a large party of eleven and we asked to split our bill. They did not have a problem doin…
There was a lot of food available. The service can be pushy. The ambiance was that of a buffet.

Based on the Buffet scale, pretty solid. Many choices, even for me the vegetarian. Mostly people ate seafood- and no kidding lots of people chowing down and getting take out. \n\nGood service, buff…

It was pretty busy when my group of 4 went on a Saturday about 7pm. This was my second time here. Again it was quiet hot inside and that gave me pause and I would not eat the sushi. Not only was th…
A lot of tables with food but a lot of empty trays There could be more variety in sea food It was ok for a quick meal. The service was very good. , waited on right away. The decor was pleasant, but…
Food was not to my liking, or my 9 year old's. Everything I tried just didn't taste good or the texture was off besides the Chinese donuts, probably the best item on the buffet. Staff was friendly however, and the tables and seats were clean. Food areas as well. Didn't use the restroom to rate cleanliness of that. If I had to choose any buffet in Syracuse, it would be Golden Corral. The last time I went to Flaming Grill, in late December 2024, it was subpar as far as the food but tasted better than today's Thanksgiving visit to Empire.
To see mice running around the dining area was not a pleasant thing at all. We informed the owner and staff however it did not seem like a bother. This calls for greater action and I caution all fr…
Been a loyal customer for many years , after COVID was somewhat passable , last weeks experience was atrocious. The food was bland , the choices were very limited and the price was higher. On numer…
Brought my family here, was charged 90 dollars for 2 kids and 2 adults, was charged for 4 adult drinks when my kids only received 2 kids drinks, the food was moderate, chicken wings were still raw, broccoli and chicken was rubbery, I use to love this place, after lastnight I will not be returning, this buffet has gone downhill to the point where I had to write this horrible review, dont waste your money here, bring your family to chili's for the same price with better food Will never return!!
I went here for my brother in laws birthday because this used to be my go to place but this time the food was just not good at all. The sesame chicken and general Tao chicken was cold and was hard to chew it felt like it was made in the morning and just left out all day at the end of the lunch I received the bill and it came out to 163 dollars I probably won’t be coming back here anytime soon
We stopped by and had dinner for 4 of us. Food was very sloppy and Buffet serving area was a mess. floors around the buffet were very sticky. Bathrooms were a mess.We recieved our bill and paid cash, We waited for about 10 minutes for the watress to bring back our reciept with change and never came back to the table. She basiclly kept our change and would not bring us back a paid reciept. Not very professional.
