I found this restaurant for the first time while en route to Best Buy to purchase a computer.  I generally go at lunch and love the economical prices and the varied menu, along with the friendly service.

As for the food,, I enjoy the sushi bar and love the combinations of vegetables with fish and chicken.  The honey chicken and coconut shrimp are favorites of mine that I enjoy regularly.  I also like the egg foo yong, an item I do not find at a lot of Chinese restaurants I have visited.  It is a popular item and the chefs keep rushing back for more since it is a popular item.  I also enjoy the tasty egg drop soup and the rice-noodle combination dish.  There are all kinds of tempting dessert treats as well.

I find Super Buffet an outstanding value and indulge there often.

I was surprised that I liked this place.

They have basic Chinese food, sushi, tons of fruit, and a rather lofty desert area.  Also, lots of soup.

For someone that tires of Asian flavors quickly and can never enjoy an entire dish of one thing, buffets are a lifesaver.

I was impressed with the food and the vast selection of it for a Chinese buffet.  You can never expect top quality from any buffet, but for a buffet, this was top quality. :)

I cant believe that I'm giving a buffet 4 stars. I really don't like buffets, I hardly ever go.  On this day the planets were aligned. I found my self hungry and looking in the window of a very busy restaurant, a good sign. The clincher was all the crab legs I saw on peoples plates. Well... it turned out the the crab was the only disappointing food that I tried.  Everything else that I tried (lets face it you cant try it all at a buffet, and shouldn't;) was pretty darn good. Keep in mind that I am reviewing this buffet as a buffet and is not to be compared with a restaurant. I don't think I could ever bring myself to give a buffet 5 stars.  If your in the area and in the mood its worth a try.

My mom and step dad invited me along for his uncle's bday. So, I thought I'd tag along.

*moments later*

Mmmmm, gooood! Personally, I love [mostly asian] buffets. I don't consider myself overweight/fatso, but I do find these kinds of places as great deals compared to non-buffets. The food I had was great; everything from the string beans, to the salmon sushi, to the honey chicken---it was all tasty. The place seems balanced well with the decor, atmosphere, etc. It further blows me away because, considering the deciding factors (location, decor, atmosphere, food, etc.), it's extremely competitive with my other favorite buffet joints, such as Blue Fin, Todai, Chang's Mongolian Grill (Renton and Tukwila), Sizzler, Zoopa, and Pizza Hut's weekday Lunch Buffet.

Although, I did carpool with my mom and step dad as it's too far north for me. And the only seafood I had was the sushi. I left 1 star open only to be fair in that I didn't try the non-sushi seafood (not that I'd eat oysters.... gr-o-s-s-s).

Super Buffet FTW!---haay-yaah!

 

Yay for Super Buffet!

Been to this spot 4 times now, and it's been bomb every single time. Super Buffet succeeds, while others fail, for several reasons.

First, location and size. Located near Best Buy and Target, and across from the mall entrance, I think they've snagged a prime spot. The restaurant is large enough to accommodate throngs of hungry shoppers. The decor is plain but cozy. The crystal chandelier in the front entrance is a nice touch.

And now the food. Oh yes, glorious food, how I love thee. I'm still full from yesterday. Super Buffet has something for everyone: a limited sushi station, fresh fruit, desserts and a very nice selection of hot items. I had fried frog legs, chicken skewers, buttered shrimp, butterfly shrimp, boiled fish, salmon, pork shui mei, steamed red bean dumplings, the list goes on. They also have pizza and roast beef for the All-American long-haul trucker types. I haven't really eaten the sushi much, because the hot food is so bountiful and tasty. They even have raw oysters, which I've never seen at a buffet before.

The buffet is organized in a square, so it is very easy to see what is available. The lines are nonexistent because you are just going from station to station, and you do not have to wait in one long line like traditional buffets.

The service is great. I had multiple refills on my soda. Which brings me to another reason why I think Super Buffet succeeds. The workers are constantly refilling food items and stirring food to ensure freshness. Food items rarely run out, and when they do they are quickly replaced.

Finally, price. For $13.99 on Friday nights you can have a full complete meal. You can even top it off with a bowl of soft serve ice cream, if you have any room left. Comparing to Todai, you get much more for your money and the service is better. Todai does have a better selection of sushi and desserts, but otherwise I'm all about the Super Buffet.

 

Looks nice inside.  I don't eat seafood so I can eliminate half the food.  I found enough food that was good.  $13.99 on weekends so I felt I spent a little too much for how much I ate but my wife destroyed the Alaskan Crab legs and the fruit selection that I think she covered it  for the both of us.

 

Has to be the best Chinese Buffet I've been to. I used to go to the one on Aurora by Sears and the one in Lynnwood across the street from Red Lobster. Both were good but not too great.

For about the same price Super Buffet has higher quality food and fresher food. Realize I mean 'higher quality' in comparison to other Buffet's. You'll still get better food at most classic chinese restaurants.

Lot's of options, lot's of seafood and sushi rolls that weren't bad.. about the same grade you'd get at a good QFC.

 

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!

IT'S SUPER-BUFFET!

This place was referred to me by an amazing and beautiful woman I know. First off, I've been trying to find a Chinese buffet in the Seattle area (without having to go up to Shoreline) since I moved here five years ago. I have had to satiate my urges, desires and cravings for Chinese cuisine through other agencies (New China Xpress, Moon Temple, etc.) and I have been made sad because of it. What if I want only a little General Tso's and a little Orange Chicken and, ooh, maybe a little Chicken with Mushroom? How about if I could really go for some Beef and Broccoli? Ordering from a place like New China or Moon Temple would mean that I'd be spending a LOT of money (and have leftovers for about a month) or I'd have to get a few friends who wanted Chinese as well. But, no... Enter the Super Buffet. Seated firmly in the old Olive Garden location in Northgate, Super Buffet provides that... and more!

After talking about it to this beautiful woman (beautiful on multiple levels, with a new level being that she referred me to my new favorite Chinese spot), I decided that I was going to go and check it out. So another friend of mine and I pile into my truck, cruise up to Northgate and saunter in through the doors of Super Buffet - where we are promptly greeted by a Chinese gentleman wearing a suit and tie. Strange, but classy. I like.

We're shown to a table, we order our drinks (Ice tea) and toss our jackets onto the booth seats. We amble on over to the buffet, grabbing a plate and I stop for a moment... In awe of the selection. General Tso's, Honey Chicken, baked chicken, sweet and sour chicken, chicken and mushroom, chicken and broccoli, beef and mushroom, beef and broccoli, baked/steamed salmon, crab legs, oysters on the half shell, whole cooked prawns (on ice), and much, much more... And that's not even counting the various dessert items they had out (oh, the banana pudding... Yum!)

An hour and three and a half plates later, I feel like I'm going to burst. Ever seen the movie Se7en? Yeah... Remember the fat guy, found face down in a plate of spaghetti? Gluttony? Yeah. That's how I feel. I'm just glad that no one is around to kick me in the stomach right now.

Either way... The total for our "feast" came to roughly $32, including our drinks. $16 for a wide variety of food, as much as you would want to eat, and a beverage is a pretty good price.

One thing I noticed that, as a chef, really pleased me... As I was selecting from the various tasties to try, one of the employees came out of the kitchen with a new pan of Honey Chicken. Instead of combining the new with the old (there were about 8 or 9 pieces in the old pan), they took the old stuff back to the kitchen - and the new stuff was amazingly crispy, so you know it wasn't just reheated and recycled back out to the dining room.

I'm going to have to give my friend a big ol' kiss for pointing this place out to me!

*Edit:

I've now been to Super Buffet for both lunch and dinner and can say that I'm exceptionally pleased. $10 for lunch (not counting a drink - but, for the most part, I prefer water) is a great price, knowing that you're going to leave feeling utterly satiated and knowing that you won't have to eat for the rest of the day. Plus, it seems like they change up their variety a bit for lunch. When I went for dinner, they had the teriyaki chicken skewers. When I went for lunch, they had the skewers but they also had big ol' chunks of the teriyaki chicken.

I'm definitely going again. $10 per day, 365 days per year... $3,650 per year... $304 per month... Damn! That's cheaper than buying groceries!

 

That's right, I'm giving this place 5 stars!

When I first saw the sign go up for this place, I rolled my eyes. I was not excited about the thought of a Chinese buffet.
Fast forward to tonight, I had some errands to run and I wanted to get them done today so I wouldn't have to worry about it before Wednesday or after when the mad rush begins on Friday.
Yay for gettin' shit done!
As it always happens when Erik and I are over in this area, he gravitates towards that shit hole Best Buy while I do my thing upstairs at Target. Today, we started across the street at the mall. When I finished my errands, Erik asked me with eager, wide eyes if we could check out the buffet downstairs. I was pretty hungry, so I thought it was a good option. Like with all buffets we've never eaten at, we asked to check it out before committing. The food looked pretty decent.

I started with a massive amount of shrimp. I had peel and eat, butter, coconut and shrimp purses. I had some baked shrimp. I had some General Tso's chicken. I had some dumplings. I had some red bean buns. I had some cheese puffs. I had some crab rangoon. I had some sushi. I had some baked crab. I had some fried rice. And I had more too, I just don't remember all the food I stuffed into my face.
In addition to what made it onto my plate, Super Buffet offers up general Chinese food chicken options, crab legs, a salad bar, noodles, ribs, roast beef, prime rib and baked salmon.
If you don't stuff yourself silly with dinner, they have some dessert options, like pudding, a few little cakes, and some soft serve ice cream.
Also worth mentioning, Chinese doughnuts! Damn, that was a tasty doughnut! It was sweet and warm and sprinkled with sugar.

The thing that pushes this buffet over to the 5-star mark is the price. Seriously, $13.99 for dinner? Seriously?
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays, dinner is served all day for $13.99.
Monday - Thursday dinner is $12.99.
Lunch is served from 11am-3:30pm Monday-Friday for $8.59.
Like most other buffets, children eat at a discounted rate based on their height.
Too busy to go and eat out? They offer a carry-out buffet priced by the pound. Lunch - $4.99/lb, Dinner - $5.99/lb, and seafood only - $8.99/lb.

Conveniently located, tasty and affordable easily make this a new favorite for dining out in the Northgate area.

 

Unless you're shoveling great gobs of food in your gaping maw at the Four Seasons Brunch Buffet, you must realize that the word "buffet" is not synonymous with "gourmet." Having said that, I am not really basing my review upon the quality of the food, I am basing my review of how gut-bustingly full I felt upon leaving this establishment. And for that, I give Super Buffet Four Gut-Busting stars.

My husband and I went on a Sunday night. There were warm crab legs with drawn butter, peel and eat shrimp, roast beef (sinewy but adequately meaty), an interesting assortment of dim-sum (siu mai, red bean buns, har gow), sushi, typical Chinese-American food (broccoli beef, General Tso's Chicken, chow mein, that weird thing with the scallops and peas), and your Chinese buffet staples: jello, egg drop soup, and soft-serve ice cream.

The service was good. My Coke cup was never empty, and the servers were quite hospitable. The hosts at front were also quite nice and made sure we were satisfied as we were paying the bill. The price was reasonable, too - $13.99 for buffet food that (I think) compares to Todai in terms of quality. Which doesn't say much for my opinion of Todai. But all you can eat food is still a thing to behold.

I'd come here again, and the ability to eat within five seconds of sitting down
