Buffet was excellent. Servers, especially Jason, were very efficient and kind. Food was fresh and tasty. Can't wait to go back again.
The buffet is clean and freshly stocked on a Saturday. The service was so friendly and the food was unbelievably great! Everything I had or tried was top notch. Prime rib- crab legs-salmon all included in the buffet is rare these days. I highly recommend this place!!
Bad food. Most almost unedible

The service is generally quick and efficient, and the restaurant is often praised for its cleanliness and bright, inviting decor. Guests frequently mention the extensive selection of dishes, including seafood such as crab legs, crawfish, lobster, sushi, and octopus, along with American-style options like roasted chicken, fried chicken, ribs, and steak. Desserts are also a highlight, with offerings like ice cream bars and custard buns adding to the appeal. Many visitors find the food flavorful, fresh, and better than other Chinese buffets they have tried, noting that the flavor is not too greasy or salty.

However, recent visits have been consistently good, with the food kept hot and full, and the staff described as polite and friendly, often offering recommendations. The prices are considered affordable for the large quantity and variety of food available, making it a good value for both single diners and larger groups.
There are some concerns about policies, such as the use of coupons and tipping procedures, which some guests find confusing or inconsistent. Despite this, Buffet City is regarded as one of the best Asian and American buffet options in the Saint Petersburg/Tampa area. Overall, it offers a busy, lively experience with a wide array of tasty dishes suitable for all ages.
