Another Chinese Buffet is what we thought, and yes of course \u201call you can eat\u201d none the less.\u00a0\u00a0We were expecting what we would get at any number of these places throughout Lee County, just more of the same.\u00a0\u00a0We looked at their menu and price list outside before entering the establishment.\u00a0\u00a0Monday through Saturday Lunch:\u00a0\u00a0Adult $6.99 Children Under 5 (eat in only) $3.99 \/ Monday through Saturday Dinner:\u00a0\u00a0Adult $10.49 Children Under 5 (eat in only) $5.99.\u00a0\u00a0Super Sunday and Major Holidays:\u00a0\u00a0Adult $10.49 Children Under 5 (eat in only) $5.99.\u00a0\u00a0That seemed to be the standard in the area.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They advertise that they are \u201cThe Biggest Buffet in Lehigh Acres!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0They go on to say that they have 8 Buffet Tables that feature everything from Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, & Japanese Cuisines with BBQ Spareribs, Mussels, Cocktail Shrimp, Salad Bar, Salmon, Beef, Chicken, Fish, Pizza, Apple Pie, Ice Cream and more!\u00a0\u00a0Well the window advertising certainly made us want to continue in with a healthy appetite!<\/em><\/p>\n

It was lunch time, so we ventured in hoping their outer advertising was all truth rather than fiction!\u00a0\u00a0We were warmly greeted by the hostess who promptly sat us at a table.\u00a0\u00a0Both myself and my dinning partner commented on the d\u00e9cor, how it was refreshing to see a Chinese Buffet with non-traditional d\u00e9cor.\u00a0\u00a0Italian pictures graced the walls, the restaurant was immaculately clean and the normal rush that usually finds its way into places like this was non existent.\u00a0\u00a0Not because the place was empty, but rather because the atmosphere was much more relaxed and laid back.\u00a0\u00a0Felt more like a sit down restaurant rather than an all you can eat buffet.\u00a0It was not long before the waitress came to our table, welcomed us to the restaurant, took our drink order and invited us to enjoy the many buffet tables that awaited us.\u00a0\u00a0We looked around at first, taking in all that was before us, remembering what we had read outside before we came in to enjoy lunch.\u00a0\u00a0We were both surprised at the number of buffet tables and more importantly how the delicious looking items were presented.\u00a0\u00a0Nothing is just thrown on these tables, but proudly laid out, enticing you to try everything!\u00a0\u00a0Some of the food may be standard to all\u00a0\u00a0Chinese Buffets, but the taste was anything but standard!\u00a0\u00a0Weather we tried something from the Salad Table, the Fish\/Seafood Table or the many selections of Chicken\/Beef\/Rice\/Vegetable Table we were eager to get more as the food was delicious!\u00a0\u00a0How often have you been to a buffet, Chinese or otherwise and got a bowl of soup, only to get back to your table and have the bowl of soup be warm at best?\u00a0\u00a0Well let us tell you, that will not happen here!\u00a0\u00a0Their soup is HOT!\u00a0\u00a0We both got bowls of Wonton Soup, walked back to our table and that bowl of soup was still steaming hot!\u00a0\u00a0Slow sips with their soup!\u00a0\u00a0It was the best Wonton Soup either of us had in a long while, I had to go back for more!\u00a0\u00a0Make sure you leave room for the dessert table!\u00a0\u00a0Weather you like fresh fruit, pudding, ice cream, cookies or one of the other many goodies, try them all and you will love them all!\u00a0\u00a0And did we mention that it was real ice cream, not the stuff you drape out of a machine, but rather use an old fashion ice cream scoop to dig out!\u00a0\u00a0Real flavors that make you wish you didn\u2019t eat so much!\u00a0\u00a0One thing that is key with me is my drink.\u00a0\u00a0One thing that I hate is to have a drink glass run empty!\u00a0\u00a0That will not happen at the Asian Buffet, let your glass get half full and they are right there to give you more.\u00a0\u00a0Bravo to them for the attentive service!\u00a0\u00a0Our lunch experience was delightful, one that will bring each of us back for more!<\/em><\/div>\n
I did have the opportunity to do just that with a friend that is picky beyond belief.\u00a0\u00a0I knew if there was something wrong with this establishment, my dinner dinning companion would find it for sure!\u00a0\u00a0The dinner time crowd was heavier than the lunch crowd, but do not fear, the staff is just as pleasant for dinner.\u00a0\u00a0This time I tried different things, things I normally do not try at buffets due to the nature of the food.\u00a0\u00a0Items such as peel and eat shrimp and oysters on the half shell.\u00a0\u00a0I like these items to be more controlled rather than just laid out on a counter for who knows how long.\u00a0\u00a0I paid close attention to how the staff handled these items.\u00a0\u00a0Both were in ice trays so they were kept cold and fresh, but more importantly they did not place an over abundance of either item but rather a couple dozen of the oysters and perhaps 50 to 60 shrimp.\u00a0\u00a0As either was depleted, a staff member would re-stock the more than delicious items.\u00a0\u00a0That impressed me, so I said let me try these items.\u00a0\u00a0Was I glad I did!\u00a0\u00a0I was in heaven, all you can eat oysters on the half shell and peel and eat shrimp!\u00a0\u00a0Bring on the Margaritas, Hammock and soothing sounds of the beach waves!\u00a0Both were delicious and whether you like cocktail sauce and lemon, hot sauce and lemon or just plain, bring a healthy healthy appetite as you will be like me and visit this table more than twice!\u00a0\u00a0As for my companion, their taste is much harder to please, and being a fish lover they have yet to be satisfied with any fish on any buffet.\u00a0\u00a0Well let me tell you, the fish they had, I believe it was salmon, was totally devoured with the last bite being praised as a great piece of fish with such a nice warm butter flavor.\u00a0Then and there I knew the Asian Buffet has delivered on its promise of being delicious!!\u00a0\u00a0Once again, my drink glass was never left less than half full, the staff did a great job at attending to our table and every table around us!<\/em><\/div>\n
Great lunch experience, great dinner experience!\u00a0\u00a0Both times I looked around at the fellow dinners and everyone seemed happy!\u00a0As we were leaving the restaurant from dinner, some fellow dinners were behind us.\u00a0\u00a0There was a gentlemen reading the window as I did on my first visit, and he asked the fellow dinners if it was good and worth the price, and they gave a hearty recommendation of the Asian Buffet to the gentleman who promptly went it!\u00a0\u00a0That is what I give to you the ready of this revue, a hearty recommendation to visit the Asian Buffet on Homestead Road in Lehigh Acres, you will be glad you did!<\/em><\/div>\n
Another great dinning experience right here in Southwest Florida!\u00a0\u00a0Their hours are Monday \u2013 Thursday 11:00am \u2013 10pm.\u00a0\u00a0Friday and Saturday 11:00am \u2013 10:30pm, Sundays 11:00am \u2013 10:00pm.\u00a0\u00a0Give them a try the next time you are wondering where can we go to eat?\u00a0\u00a0Go to the Asian Buffet, enjoy \u201cThe Biggest Buffet In Lehigh Acres!\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
