Elite Buffet Lemon Grove Reviews
This place is not the best looking place but the food has such amazing flavor. The teriyaki chicken is the best. The curry chicken is also very flavorful. The price is very reasonable.
Would of liked the food to be warmer temperatures. Wide selection for the whole family. 1st time trying them out. Loved the price for the 8 of us (including 4 kids) was under $150
Of all the buffets, this one ranks among one of the top for me. The food was fresh with a lot of options including seafood. This one is on my radar next time I have another buffet craving. Full salad bar Plenty of hot items including sushi Fresh fruit and dessert options Fountain drinks (incl.) Sunday price : $19.00 Take out price : $7.49 per pound Senior discount : 10% (65+)
Pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this place! The food is standard Chinese buffet offerings. I really liked that it’s completely self service, you pick any table and you can grab your drinks yourself so you don’t have to wait. The food was fresh and delicious, I will definitely come back for their take out. Take out is charged by pound too which is perfect since I don’t eat much!
Food was good my only recommendations would be for the mayo oysters …just don’t do that, does not Taste good. Also the ice cream should have toppings. The scallops we can skip the corn in it but we loved both chow meins, fried rice, wings, scallops, Thai chicken, lobster rolls, fried fish, spring rolls and cream cheese wontons. So many choices, sauces. Very good lunch menu. $22 a person on weekend for lunch but cheaper on the weekday
Food was good for a buffet. We enjoyed it and will go again.
Most of food tastse great.. not salty.. fried rice and low mien are so good on seasoning with high heat wok.. good price which includes drinks
Because of the low temps on the heat lamps, some of the food was cold. The soup was good and hot though. Lastly, they do the crab pretty well here.
All you need to know FOOD was Bomb when I went. Fruit good salad good cherries bomb orange chicken bomb creamy shrimp bomb. Only one thing slippery by the drinks oh yeah if you like 🦀 crabs they got them to the whole blue crab for the ones that like it. Be ready to get your grub on kus it's all you can eat!
If you're looking for a buffet that offers good value and decent food, Elite Buffet is definitely worth considering. What immediately stands out is the all-inclusive pricing, which not only covers a satisfying spread but also includes unlimited drinks of your choice– a welcome perk that many buffets don't offer. The staff are consistently nice and respectful, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. While the selection isn't vast, the dishes they do offer are generally flavorful and consistently warm, which is crucial for a buffet. You'll find yourself going back for more of their well-prepared main dishes. However, there are a couple of areas that could use some improvement. The sushi section, in particular, falls short. The pieces are noticeably tiny and have an odd, unappealing appearance, leaving a lot to be desired in terms of both presentation and taste. Similarly, the dessert selection lacks variety, and it would be great to see more options to round out the meal. Pro-Tip: Weekends are the best time to visit! While it gets crowded, Elite Buffet ups its game on Saturdays and Sundays with special additions like salmon and other seafood, making the extra hustle and bustle worthwhile. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, weekdays are less busy, though you'll miss out on the weekend specialties. Overall, Elite Buffet delivers on its promise of a good, affordable buffet experience. Just manage your expectations for the sushi and dessert, and you're in for a satisfying meal!
Just the basics here. Lots of dishes kind of medium quality. Typical fruit bar, puddings, cookies. This is an affordable place to feed the whole family, but doesn't hit the spot if you want an absolutely delicious meal. Self serve drinks, very quick service taking plates off the table.
The food was good, I was especially trying to look for orange chicken. Which to me is chicken coated in a fluffy batter that's in other restaurants like this one. Unfortunately I didn't see it. But the food was good and I recommend it. A little pricey but just make sure you go when you're hungry and you should be good.
This buffet offers a decent selection of your standard buffet items (lots of fried foods, basic salad, cheese pizza, sushi, and ice milk with desserts) for $12.99 per adult (10% off for seniors) plus $1.99 for soft drinks. Children under 11 are charged based on their age. Guests are asked to leave if their visit exceeds three hours. Parties of 7 or more are charged 10% extra gratuity, which doesn't cover any extra service, so this is a clear money-grab. On our visit which lasted 65 minutes, and there were 9 of us, the "waiter" visited to refill our water just once, and clearing of dirty plates was very slow, even though the restaurant was below half capacity on a Wednesday evening. The food tasted "average" at best. The decor is lacking and dated. And the men's room was filthy and covered in graffiti. All of that said, the guests I could see did seem to enjoy themselves and they mostly appear to be neighborhood locals who were out for a high-calorie meal for around $30/couple.
if I could give this buffet negative reviews, I would. DO NOT EAT HERE! everyone and their mom is noisy and the food is horrible. it taste like it’s been sitting in a freezer for six or nine years and has been sitting out for a weeks. also, their Manzana apple soda is carbonated water.
