I am very apprehensive about buffets, in fact, I will avoid them whenever possible. When I was pregnant and too hungry to wait, I decided to try the Super Buffet and it has become one of my guilty pleasures. I have since visited a bout a dozen times and have never had a single complaint. Every visit has been a gem.

Jacky was our waiter this evening and he was amazing. He checked on us several times, provided fast refills and even came to our rescue by entertaining our toddler when he began to get restless. We left a ten dollar tip on a $30 bill. Yes, he was that good!

The service is always above and beyond our expectations. You do not have to ask for anything. The service staff are quick to provide fresh food. The place is always clean, the sushi is surprisingly good quality, always fresh and better than most places in this area.

Super Buffet always makes me happy! Thanks Jacky and staff! We will definately be back!

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 Seattle an outstanding value and indulge there often.

I Love this place

I'm a single senior and I eat here as often as I can a week. I don't eat much in the day, then come here for one nice meal. I cut off a slice of roast beef, then a few mushrooms stuffed with crab, scallops and cream cheese ( I asked what was in them). Then I scoop on some chicken and shrimp in a garlic white sauce and add some coconut shrimp, some fried butterfly shrimp and some Broccoli Beef. I grab a second plate and put on some Giant Snow Crab legs and claws. Oh yeah, a few egg rolls I dip in hot mustard. You're not going to believe this but I've lost 20lbs too.

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 there. 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.

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.

Has to be the best Chinese Buffet I've been to.

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.

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. Damn! It'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,

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