I love it! First of all you have many food choices, 2nd you can taste all this different food, 3rd you get to eat as much. Lol. We had a buffet lunch with all this Japanese/ Chinese food. It's all so yummy... How about you, do you like to eat at a buffet?

I love it too! But it is expensive. I like to eat desserts first. But the bad thing is when I don't finish what I'm eating, I got to pay the original price of the meal.

Hi Santosmarichris, Actually, Yes I do like the chinese buffets. I love chinese food and it is a way to get to try different things that I may not otherwise dare to, it is reasonably priced and as you said, you get to eat quite a lot for less. We do have a restraunt here that is just a buffet all the time and I'm guessing it is all in the timing. It's got a variety of foods....not just chinese. I went once with my kids and I'll never ever go back. The price was right but I brought my girls during the week one evening. The food all looked like it had been setting there for hours and hours and I think it was. A lot of the dishes were nearly empty even though there was just us and another couple in the restraunt. We filled a plate with whatever looked edible which wasn't much. Well, needless to say even most of that was not edible. We all left hungry still. I did mention to the manager that their selection was horrible and that we could not eat most of it. They apologized but did nothing in the way of making it right. I ended up buying a pizza for us all afterwards. It's a very popular restraunt but I would not recomend it. A good restraunt keeps up on their buffet and it is awesome so i guess it all depends on the restraunt itself

I havent tried eating in one but I most definitely plan to. I just dont know where, when and how.LOL I mean, buffets are quite hard to find in this city and whenever there is, it would be best spent with the whole family. Well, my family only includes me, my Mom, and my Dad. They're also not that good with eating. They only eat enough to keep them full. Im the only one who eats to my little heart's content. My cousin also said that I would be great to have around for buffets because every dime we spent would be worth it and more.LOL

In almost all occasions, buffet is now the most widely used since not everybody has the same food taste. There are some who are allergic to certain foods so buffet would make them choose what food they can eat, and what food to avoid.. Those who love to eat especially love this since you can eat as much as you want.

I love eating at buffets! I love it when they have different buffet tables to choose from. From what I've learned and experienced, it's best to sample all the food first in small portions than pile up in just one type of dish because if you get full, you wont get to sample the other dishes. That way, when you've sampled everything, you can go back for another round and eat what you loved the most among all the dishes. :)

Hi santos mari chris: I like to be in a buffet for the same reasons you have mentioned. For me this would be a paradise but I seldom eat at a buffet, generally I do this on my vacations because I know it's not very healthy to eat all you can ^^- Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Normally i don't attend buffet party, here most of the buffet feasts are given through professional contractors, the food is cooked and served by their men, suppose you give contract to feed 500 persons, these people will cook for 400 only, you have to go to the servers to get your servings, they give in 'very small' quantities, though as much as you like to eat.. To me it is like begging, i hate this In our tradition feats we are served on leave plates and bowls, we eat sitting on floor on mats.. Thanks for sharing. Professor. . Cheers

When I was in Malaysia, my employers sometimes brought me to some hotels offering a buffet for lunch and even supper; at first I was so greedy, imagine I ate fast and I was full right away. The second time and the other buffet, I learned to ate food that are not so bulky for the tummy, so I enjoyed eating. Here in the Philippines, my daughter brought me to a buffet and the specialty is Filipino food. Although I enjoyed it, I realized that when your in feast in buffet, the tendency is you are going to gorge the food so fast that you don't even feel guilty because of it's price.

Yes! Just only yesterday that ive mentioned to my friend that I missed eating in an eat all you can buffet type of restaurant because from there, i will have an endless choice of yummy different kinds of foods of different cuisines while im satisfying all the cravings that ive got especially with desserts that I love the most! I am a food lover and I appreciate good foods. Buffet is an excellent way of perking out any kind of appetite for your eyes could already see what you will get afterwards. Good night!

I love eating at buffets because you can eat as much as you want and you can pick what you want to eat. I make sure I only eat things I don't cook at home when I go out to a buffet. I mean, why eat mashed potatoes or french fries when I can make those at home, eat the things I can't make at home, like chinese food choices. That's about the only buffet I go to unless I am on holidays. Then I go for buffets every day because they are cheaper and lots of choices. Good luck and happy mylotting my friend, Chris

Unfortunately, there are no good buffet restaurants around here. The ones that are close usually just serve ordinary food, but in great quantity. The best buffet restaurants that I've been to, are the ones in Asia. They were really good, and the service really great. And they are not so expensive too!

I like Golden corral. I get to eat all the vegetables and salad ingredients my husband will not eat. I don't buy them at the store because i would never finish one of anything. So going to the buffet I tend to eat lots of veggies and salads and fruits. My husband goes for as much meat as he can hold LOL
