Jade Buffet Hondo Reviews
Love their food and very good service
The food is good and they have lots of fresh food placed out. They even had a fruit area as well. The waiters ate quick to take your empty plate and fill your beverage quickly.
The food is the best I ever had. The service is horrible and it’s extremely dirty. But the food hands down makes me come back!
Look how crispy that chicken is! **drool** Lived here for several years and never been here until recently. A friend recommended it for a great variety of items, and I have to say, he was right! My family loved all of the array of various options. I liked the chicken on a stick and the Jade chicken; delicious! Also awesome was the service; our drinks were never empty. We will definitely return.
Yummy food for a good price 😁just remember that it is a mom & pop spot. Go during busy times to ensure hot buffet food 🥘 👌
Went here when they were 30 minutes from closing. Service was good. The food was good. I look forward to coming again during a more peak time, I expect the food will a whole lot better than good. 😋
Food is pretty good. My kids love it.
The buffet was well-kept and clean. Food was hot and fresh, with good variety. Staff was professional, friendly, and attentive. The price was reasonable.
Super Great Restaurant, Nice Friendly Service, The Chicken options were delicious with real white Meat. Only dislike was the fact that they didn't have Fried Rice. All they had was white rice. Will go back again.
Prices are high. The food was good and the service was good.
2.3 pounds of take out buffet was about 18.00. Sounded reasonable enough but the limited selection left an impression. Unsure what the cost of the dine-in buffet costs but reviews suggest it’s overpriced. Overall, pretty good for a small town. You won’t find another buffet within 30 miles.
We enjoyed the food, as usual. The problem is it's extremely hot in this place. No AC. It's like eating in a sauna. Kids don't won't to go back and I'm inclined to agree with them. A shame really.
(Updated 10/19, as things keep getting worse) Pros: Basically the only thing like it in our tiny town - so if you want Chinese food or something almost like sushi, this is it. Cons: Small selection. Overpriced, only one "child" price tier, ending at age 10, and no discounts for military, etc. No food allergy information, never mind allergy-friendly dishes (not even gluten-free soy sauce packets for the sushi). Service is usually poor (hard to get drinks refilled, etc.) Food is not always hot (a health risk as well as unappetizing), and sometimes looks like it's been out too long. So, yes, we do continue to eat there from time to time (see "only game in town"). But it's not wonderful, and going downhill, so we definately hesitate, now...
Update: the quality of the food has really gone down. They took away the ice cream and salad area (they have chopped up lettuce and dressing nothing else for salad). The food is just not good anymore and less variety. The last 4 or so times we've been very disappointed so it'll be a long time if we do ever try them again. It's just very disappointing they were very good for a small town buffet. Worth now to drive elsewhere. 12.99 for buffet that is terrible! And the service is bad. We went for lunch and when we got there we had to sit at a large table even though only 3 of because all the tables were dirty filled with plates. The whole time we were there the host never bussed a single table. It all just sat there. It's not a bad little buffet for a small town. Variety of foods available, they seem to be refilling things fairly quickly when there on a weekend night. They have the usual stuff you'd expect at a Asian buffet and the entrees themselves aren't bad. They have some stuff for kids too like chicken nuggets, fries, and such. The ice cream set up needs some work. The scoop holder is just a cardboard container with water in it to put the scoop in it, kind of sketchy looking and a couple of the containers were just frost bitten chunks to scrape off the sides only 2 ice creams looked good to eat. It has a little salad bar as well, none of the dressings labeled, just take a guess. A tiny bit pricey as well for the size but it's the only thing like it in the area. No military discount.
Just got food and literally so cold having to heat it up. They just opened so it’s either the are using food from the day prior or they need to adjust heating tables the temperature on the chicken is cold like dangerous cold for food that needs to maintain a hot temp
Do not I mean NOT, go here and eat if you are only one person or maybe a group of people whichever is up to you, your money will leave you quick as soon as you get in there. $17 for one person you got to be kidding me and the guy doesn’t even ring you up. All he does is look on his left side and stare at something and say Um It’ll be 17 something. Outrageous stupid in my book never again. Am I eating at this horrible place that cheats you out of money.
Food was absolutely horrendous. Everything tasted like it was out for hours apon hours due to the very spongy texture for their chicken and noodles that tasted like styrofoam. They have a salad bar with no labeled sauces or dressings so it kinda just playing with fate on what you get. They have shrimp right next to breadings and dessert (major cross contamination hazard for people allergic to shell fish). When we entered the establishment there was only one person at a table, and all other tables weren't even cleaned off we had awful customer service since we had to sit with a pile of dirty plates that could have fallen off the table and broken. I went to the bathroom and after flushing the toilet the lever that makes the plunger go up broke and I wasn't able to flush the toilet anymore the stench in the bathroom was like stepping on dog crap on a hot summer day. When we let the people know how we felt on the food they spoke their language in front of us very rudely. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody since they also rip you off with $17 prices PER PERSON. Please spend the $10 in gas to go somewhere else that way you could save your money and enjoy quality food elsewhere. (I wouldn't even feed this to my dog)
Jade Buffet should NOT be able to continue to rip people off and charge $17+ for cold, fake, Chinese food. This has to be the worst Chinese Buffet and definitely not worth the price! When I told the lady her food was cold and flies hanging around the "dessert" and not worth $17 each person, she walked off and started talking about me in her language. Save your money and pick somewhere else to eat!
