I'm glad I didn't pay for this meal. This was one of the worst buffets ever. Four of us came here for lunch on a weekday to check it out. The place was mostly empty. Not a good sign, especially at...

As a buffet, you don't expect the best food. However, given that this place could not live up to my already dwindled expectations, I will just say I've had better.First off, buffet sushi? Obviously...

Rip off. You got charged per plate you used...not per person. For instance, I got charged almost $15 for lunch (just myself). At East Buffet, it's $8.99 at the most. Advice: Do not use extra plates for your...

Somewhat decent, given the price. But compared to East Buffet near Hilltop, Empire is way too greasy. Empire is much busier, which is often a good sign with buffets, as it means more turn over. Yet...
