Imperial Buffet Reviews
A great selection of traditional
Chinese and American buffet items. Unlike many buffets, this one works hard to have choices for everyone including a wonderful selection of sañads and fruits and desserts! Highly recommended
The food was average. After asking several times for soda refill, my daughter finally went and got it for me. Hate to say but I was not really impressed. I much prefer Lin's Buffet in Morton.
Fantastic food with a huge selection! Might be the best Asian food buffet I've ever seen. I'll definitely be patronizing Imperial Buffet next time I'm in the Bloomington-Normal area again!

The Imperial Buffet offers a diverse range of cuisine, from sushi to ice cream, providing something for everyone. The dining experience is praised for its great selection of traditional Chinese and American buffet items, with a wonderful variety of salads, fruits, and desserts. The produce and seafood are fresh, and the food is well-prepared and seasoned. The buffet features classic American dishes like brisket, barbecue ribs, and fried chicken, as well as more unique Chinese offerings such as frog legs and dim sum. Customers report the melon is particularly sweet and delicious. While the overall value for money has been questioned, the buffet is generally considered a good option for those looking to satisfy their hunger in the area.
The restaurant is known for its large selection of food on the buffet, including a nice salad and fruit bar. The food is always hot and tastes fresh. Customers have commented on the baked scallops on a shell being particularly awesome, and the sushi and Mongolian BBQ bar being well-stocked. However, some have noted issues with the service, with waiters sometimes ignoring customers and not checking on them or clearing plates. Despite this, the food quality is considered great for a buffet, and the restaurant is recommended, especially for the sushi.
