Always excellent customer service, food amazing, love how they clear away the dirty dishes from the table so you can have room, price amazing and hardly any wait time. I love this place.

Had a great time and the food was hot a fresh. The price was great. Even ask me if I was a senior and gave the senior discount which I would have forgotten to ask for!

Excellent food in a utilitarian cafeteria-style setting. It's a bit hectic and a first visit may be overwhelming, but the food is consistently hot, fresh, delicious and the buffet features a huge variety of dishes with something for everyone. Even fresh hibachi and sushi options, all included in the incredibly low price. The only drawback is the restroom, which is rarely maintained and to be used in emergency situations only, as it is absolutely disgusting most of the time with no soap in the dispensers and urine all over the floor and toilet seat. Sorry to be blunt because otherwise it's truly a great restaurant, but they do not extend that greatness to the restrooms at all. They need to do better in that regard.

Nice Buffet – Worth the Price We had a great experience here. The buffet had a good variety of fresh and tasty options. Everything was well-prepared, and the place was clean and well-organized. Definitely worth the money — would recommend for anyone looking for a satisfying meal at a fair price.

The food was hot and fresh. The service was quick . The waitress we had was nice and attentive. She did bring out the check when hadn’t asked for it but we still ate more food and gave it to her when we were ready . When we gave it back we still had another round of food they aren’t rushing you out but they obviously don’t play about payment maybe they have been stiffed before who knows.I liked the food better then dragon buffet but they don’t have as many options , but the food just tasted better to me. The drinks were also not flat . It is pricier but better.

Had lunch here yesterday. Great variety of Chinese and American food! They had a cheesy spinach dish that was especially good! The price was also reasonable given the variety of good food that was offered. I paid $21 including tip. I am generally a fan of buffets so that I can have a little bit of everything and this buffet is no exception!

We have been going here for over 12yrs and United buffet never disappoints. The food is always very good and trays are never empty. They have cut somewhat due the rising costs of food. The service is GREAT. Anyone who complains about the service is either rude or not a regular. Like I said, we have been going for over a decade and we are 25% tippers so they know that and we receive excellent service. There really is no excuse to tip less than 20% if they do a good job, esp since the prices are very reasonable. The salad bar is Meh... but Chinese buffets aren't really great at salads.

We enjoyed our food and company very much, and then a health concern caused my sister to call an ambulance for herself, and when I told the manager to expect the arrival of an ambulance out front in a few minutes, she was concerned and was very helpful about it, and didn't mind us leaving one car behind overnight. I know that this is an unusual review, but that was our latest experience here. We do eat here regularly and keep coming back because we love it here.

The best Chinese buffet in the capital region hands down! The food on the buffet table tastes fresh and offers a variety of selections to suit everyone's taste! The desserts are unique and very interesting ( caramelized twisted bread, patries, peanut praline, ice cream, and fruits).

Best buffet that I had ever visited (more than 20 for sure). Clean and fresh. No wait time even on Saturday night. Well prepared food. Big spread. Nice variety. Fresh. Optimal $15 adult and $7.5 kids price Drawback: plastic utensils and plastic plates.

Dylan Chevalier

This is one of the best restaurants of all time. The selection is vast, and most of the food is really good. Endless soft serve ice cream, with no fee for an exit cone. The staff are really friendly. The environment is awesome. Me and my girlfriend are obsessed with this place, and it is our go-to date night. An absolutely guaranteed way to have a good night. Please support this beautiful establishment. I for one will be getting its coordinates tattooed on my arm. They deserve every ounce of praise.

Incredible place. Food is great and that new sushi bar hits the spot perfectly. Waitresses were so nice and checked up on you often. The atmosphere is pretty good but listening to a musician killing his spouse isn’t really my favorite when I’m eating some orange jello. Maybe the best ice cream in upstate NY.

I’ve been to this buffet a few times for lunch and have yet to find something I don’t like. They have a huge selection of Chinese and American foods, plus salad bar, sushi, and a made-to-order hibachi station. Some of my favorites are the coconut chicken, lo mein, chicken wings, chicken on a stick, stuffed mushrooms, hibachi, roast pork, and roast chicken. For dessert, they have what is somehow the creamiest soft service ice cream at any buffet ever. The staff is always friendly and keeps the table cleared and drinks full.

So much food to choose from. This establishment is always clean and service staff is always nice. There was an issue with last visit where the server didnt know the tip was added to the bill, and she kept asking us for a tip. We had to physically point out that the tip was in the bill, she seemed unaware

We go here fairly often. It's very clean and the food is very good. Of course. I always get the same each time. Baked spinach. Seafood casserole. Chicken and broccoli. Green beans. Shrimp. They clear your plates constantly and are very friendly.

Big buffet with a large variety of items. Also has the hibachi grill so you can have a fresh plate of custom food made too. Not many places have this. I would say the food is a solid B+. Some items were very good, some items were average, some items not the greatest. Overall most things were pretty fresh it’s just some items simply had no flavor.

My family and I came here for dinner after a long day of outing and this place did not disappoint. Everyone here was polite and friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. The place served up a wide variety of delicious dishes, desert and drinks. Parking is available and the price is reasonable. We will definitely come after when visiting Schenectady.

This was an absolutely stellar Chinese buffet in Schenectady. New York. Wonderful staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Food was hot. Fresh delicious! Had a wonderful variety and selection available. I would highly recommend the Sunday dinner buffet to anyone in town. It is also priced correctly for the area per person. You would be hard-pressed to find a better. All. You can eat meal in the Schenectady area. I tried their fried dumplings. They were fantastic. They had roast pork shoulder which was amazing. Their seafood selection was excellent, fresh and delicious. I would also highly recommend their sushi. It was well prepared and presented well to the consumer.

I absolutely love this place, it's a great place to get all sorts of varieties of Chinese food and American food. We usually go when it opens around 11:00 and you are greeted by the ladies at the desk and they take you to your seat and automatically ask you what you want to drink. Then you are free to go check out their Buffet. They have a salad making station that has a large variety of vegetables and fruit also there is different puddings and jell-o's. There is a soup station with a variety of soups including egg drop and wonton. They have about four more stations with varieties of Chinese food like rice and chicken and different vegetables and a sushi station and a seafood variety station, they also sell pizza and have hibachi. The last time I was there I wasn't too impressed unfortunately. When I go I always get the same items and I absolutely love their coconut chicken which sometimes the sign is wrong and it's actually shrimp. But this time when I got the chicken it tasted funny and the texture was really off. Also I got a couple pieces of the steak with the peppers in it and the steak was a funny color and the taste and the texture was not right like usual. I really like their sushi it's really fresh and usually you can watch the person make it. I've only done the Hibachi a few times but haven't gotten it in a while. I've never tried the pizza but the one thing that we always get every time we go is the ice cream. They have their own soft serve which is vanilla or chocolate or twist. It's one of the best soft serve ice creams I have ever had I would go just for the ice cream if they would let me. Service there has always been good and I've never had a problem. I always like to tip the ladies for taking our plates and keeping our sodas full. I've never had to wait for a table.

Typical buffet, huge selection, cheap price. But like many buffets, keeping food to temp is an issue. They need to make sure all steam tables are putting out steam at all times. and stir the offerings more often

Some of the waitresses are a little snotty, while others are great. They do tend to watch your table a lot to see how many times you go up to buffet. Usually 2 to 3 time going up they will bring the check. Food is very good and a pretty good variety. Lunch is my favorite time to go, although dinner is very good too. I would recommend, but some staff can be rude while others are excellent like any place you go.

The food I'd rate 7.5/10 and the service a 10/10. The staff is super friendly. My favorite thing here is the spinach and cheese as well as the ice cream machine.

It was quick seating, quick access to a large assortment of hot and cold food choices. It looked good and tasted great. Should have been here when I was 18 years old and was a bottomless pit. Still, I feel I got my money's worth. Not a fancy place and the bathroom needs more attention to cleanliness and repair. For service they ask you what you want to drink and then clear your empty plates as you go thru the meal choices and then bring you the check. Me and the boy shall return to try more options.

My husband likes this place so we do go hair maybe a couple times a month lately. The food has been good and the service has been good, but I have been there when the service has not been good where I paid by credit card and she didn’t see no tip on the credit card and she said to me no tip, which I usually always give a tip in cash. I still gave them a tip, but to tell the truth, I didn’t want to give them anything. After that statement.

First timer for the lunch buffet. Went with three co-workers. All three gave it five stars and have been here multiple times prior. Solid four star place for me. I'm not a buffet type of guy, but thought it was worth a try. The chicken wings were pretty good for not being served at my local tavern with my favorite hot sauce. The white rice was nice and sticky and very, very good. The various chicken and beef I tried was also pretty good. Finished with the soft serve ice cream which was nice and dense and very cold. Overall worth a lunch or dinner visit if you are in Schenectady.

It was ok food but if you read the sign at the entrance it says if you leave more than 6oz of food on your plate it will be weighed and added to your bill, it's a BUFFET. The most annoying thing is they already add a tip on your bill, there tips not a way to uncharged your food, companies should pay them a decent wage to not rely on tips, but I didn't even get a chance to decide if the service was good enough to leave a tip they decided for me

I came here because the dragon buffet was closed today. Food was alright. Servers are difficult to talk with, which was not a big deal they are trying. And much respect to them as I only speak one language. My low rating comes because 4 ppl for dinner and bill is $95, and one of us paid with debit. I was going into my purse to put a tip on the table in cash. The server came over, got the signed copy of the debit, and asked if I was going to put tip in. I have a few issues with that.

The waitstaff is friendly.The food is decent.Usually, it seems like a clean environment, meaning the wife went there.The other day, they went to put our napkin and silverware on the table as they seated us.And roaches ran out of the napkins.I have probably eaten here about forty plus times

One of the waitresses held her phone in front of her face, the whole time I was there (1 hour). Very disrespectful to patrons she was waiting on. Never seen anyone do that, ever.

Typical buffet food however that being mentioned... it is very clean and they seem to use good quality ingredients. Sushi was good. Dessert choices are okay. Seafood was limited which was the main reason for our visit and we were disappointed not finding any little necks clams or any type of seafood except cocktail shrimp, baked salmon that was too salty and imitation crab meat in cheese.

So I want to united buffet with my friend and my daughter told waitress we wanted to ice waters with lemon came back with water no ice one lemon at the end of our meal the waitress who cannot speak English, and I could not understand her whatsoever that point into the our pay ticket saying tip not included for her, asking me to tip. So the tip of the day is I’m leaving and that was my tip for to is to learn to speak English or go work somewhere else where other people can understand you and is rude to ask for a tip specially, when you didn’t do your job!

Food is about what you would expect from a Chinese buffet. Service is rude, and actively try to rush you to leave if they see you getting up multiple times for food. On top of that, they insist on receiving a tip from you and will stand over you until you write a number down on your receipt. I've been to this spot multiple times but I have had multiple bad experiences recently and will not visit this place again.

Paul Martin

The food is average, but does have variety. I was there for a small gathering, we sat in the back. My girlfriend and I sat at a table in the back area without the rest of our party as the restaurant miscounted and failed to provide adequate seating as it was a reservation. We were told we could not sit there by the manager and needed to sit with the rest of our party, despite there being no space or chairs set up for oir entire party. They brought chairs and crammed us together with everyone. They did not provide adequate utensils for everyone. When the waitress was told such by my girlfriend, she began to argue with my girlfriend like the more utensils would be coming out of her check or something stating there was enough for everyone. My girlfriend brought the waitress to the tables to show her there wasn't enough for everyone. After 5 minutes, the waitress finally provided more utensils.

dhasheea simpson

The food was good and the atmosphere was ok the service was the problem I went with a friend for lunch and the waitress hovered over us asking us several times if we were done and wanted to pay while we were still actively eating then continued to stand by our table and watch us making it a very uncomfortable and awkward experience I won’t be going again

I’ve been to this place several times and never had an issue. I’ve seen other reviews mention being rushed out, but I’d never experienced that myself—until today. I understand it was busy, but we were still eating when the waitress dropped the check. That alone isn’t a problem; plenty of places do that with a simple “whenever you’re ready.” What bothered me was that she came back five separate times before we even finished our food, asking for the card and then for the signed slip. I’ve never had that happen here before, and it made the whole meal feel rushed and uncomfortable. I’ve always enjoyed this spot, but this experience was enough that I’m not sure I’ll be returning.

Came from the BERKSHIRE’s restaurant looked nice online got here waitress was very rude. Snatched my receipt out my hand. I think she thought I wasn’t gonna pay because I was using Apple Pay. She gave me a very bad attitude. I make sure I will never come back I was gonna give her a tip, but I changed my mind because of the way she treated me has my grand daughter with me at the time way to go united buffet 👌🏾👌🏾

This place looks at every corner to rob people. They charged me $4 extra per person because seafood is for dinner and yet, there were no signs indicating that. One freaking piece of shrimp

For the price you pay per person the quality of food is not the greatest. The service was terrible! Before we had a chance to tip the server came up to us asking if we left a tip. On top of that when we were paying the woman up front said something in their native tongue and then gave us dirty looks. I won't ever be spending my money here again.

The waiter came to our table twice for our drinks then for check and was rude when we were ordering our drinks. I paid for the meal for me and my wife in cash and she did not bring the change expecting she was getting a tip. when you cant do a job so simple don't expect a tip. Then after right said i wanted my change she got mad and walked off to get my change and started talking to her co workers about me. it was 3 dollars and some change. Will never ever return. Super bad customer service.

Absolutely disgusting not a very clean place at all I told the waitress about mold growing on their desserts and all she said was they where brand new and walked away laughing

My family and I wanted to try a new buffet thinking our evening would be great . We had just gotten our plate and sat at the table. A lady that works in the back as a cook proceeded to charge at me yelling NO!!! Then she proceeded to put her hands in my plate and take something out which I thought was soup but apparently it was dip. I was shocked at what happened I immediately talked to her manager. The manager laughed and thought it was funny. She began to tell me it was dip and I told her regardless if it was dip or not she should have not put her hands in my food I asked for a discount and at first she wasn’t going to give me anything but then said she would give me 10% off. I really think she should have gave me more because it ruined my appetite and I did not eat. She still charged me for eating smh First time going there and we immediately got mistreated would not recommend to anyone.

Horrible customer service, was lied to multiple times. Was told we can pick out own seats but then couldn't. Was told that we could view the bottles of alcohol but then snatched them away before we could even look. The lady at the front desk was extremely rude. I am actually shocked at how I was treated. Also me and my boyfriend were not ID'd and we were able to drink alcohol.

When you go to a restaurant you get to decide if you want to leave a tip or not. This place charges a service fee which means I have no choice but to leave a tip. 0 out of 0 review from me !! Fix your floors as well.

Disgusting place. I went there at 3:00. Their manue saying lunch buffet wilm be till 3:30. But they did not alkow us for lunch. Then at the time of paying, they were asking me to add tips. Are you serious? Food was worst. I don’t know what they used at cooking,but it felt something wrkng right after my first bite. So be aware everybody. Go there at your own risk. 🙏🙏🙏

had a terrible experience today was sitting for about 20 minutes before we were getting, rushed out by the waitress it was lunchtime, so there weren’t many people. I don’t understand the rush to get us out. I explained to her that we hadn’t even had our dessert yet as soon as she seen me, sit down she placed the check on the table I was actually very embarrassed and it made me very uncomfortable to be sitting somewhere for such a short period of time and be rushed out. Will be my last time coming here. Do not recommend you could get better service and better food somewhere else.

Ate here with my mother for lunch this afternoon and was going okay until, my mother took a sip of her water and it tasted like spoiled meat, rotting flesh it's was fowl so strong! even though she had lemon in her water it still overpowered it. Then when I paid for our meal we put 0$ on the receipt for a tip, we were going to tip with cash realized we didn't have any on us and the lady stopped us in our tracks and tried making us tip... We were going to the car to get cash anyway but still shouldn't make a scene for a tip...

I came here for dinner. I got what I would normally eat which was fried rice and chicken. They had fried zucchini so got 2 of those. The zucchini was very mushy and no flavor. The rice was very bland and nasty. The chicken tested like like batter. I asked how much the price was per person and the waiter codny tell me. A few minutes later she bought over this guy that looked 12 (manager) asked me what was the matter and new he would be no help. I told him and he then told me he would go test the food. As we were waiting fir the guy to come back the waiters were standing there talking about us. He came back about 5 minutes later and said "the food is fine" I can give you $7.00 off your bill. Which would make me pay $11.00 for my food (2 bites of rice) for $11.00 dollars. The meal was $18 with out tax. So I paid the same in the end. My bill was over $60 for 3 of us. Rude people working here. They don't care about there customers only money. 8/17/2025 round 5pm

I have been coming here since they opened 20+ years ago. I have never had an incident with the wait staff asking me for a tip but I had always given a generous tip to the staff. I was at the Buffett recently and saw a young family of 4 dining and then paying their bill. They had counted out the exact amount for the bill in small bills and correct change to the penny. The waitress took the cash payment and counted it at the table and then took the cash but put the plastic check tray back on the table. She returned and pick up the tray asking if they were leaving a tip. The dad advised he didn’t have any more money. The waitress asked again for a tip and the grandmother stepped in and said she would take care of it. The waitress waited at the table until she receive the tip. I was so appalled at the boldness of the waitress who was labeled on my receipt also as #6. I was going to step in and offer to pay their tip but didn’t want to embarrass them further. I believed that they were experiencing a treat eating out and didn’t have much more money to give if any. I believe a tip is an offering by the consumer not a demand from the server. I believe everyone eating out should tip their serving according to the service they received. But, there might be an occasional time someone doesn’t have tip money due to circumstances. I conclude that you should tip, but should not be badgered if you cannot.

I've been coming here with my family for years and we have always loved the food and atmosphere but the last 2 years we've had issues with the waitresses over tips, about a year ago we've had one that chased us to the front because we had to pay cash and literally yelled at us if we're giving a tip before we even paid! And I stopped going after that until today me and my husband decided to give it one more try but the same exact thing happened, we get to the front to pay and the waitress ran to the front over a tip and when the other lady was counting the change to give it back to us the waitress that ran to the front took our change from her hand and put it in her apron, I couldn't believe it! We always give a good tip, not just $3 which was the change, my husband was going into his pocket to get a bigger bill but when she did that, it became a different story, this will absolutely be our last time coming here!,

The people at the front desk are terrible my baby told them she was 2 and they are not asking the parents they are asking the kids their age. They are robbing people if u don't check your receipt charge me for my 2year old and was asking me the mother if I'm sure to them she looks older I WAS READY TO SHOW HER BIRTH PAPER TOO. When it comes to my kids I would spend but the policy said 2 and under regardless of when they are going to be 3. 2 years old is 2 no where is the US says it goes by months ridiculous and very rude. NEVEREVERAGAIN DON'T DESIRE NO STAR.

Charged my child the adult buffet price and refused to correct the total. Lied and said they were charging full price for everyone tonight. BS. I did not tip. They can make up for it that way. Never coming back. Giant hair across the middle of the seafood. This place will rob you.
