“ First time for us in the new location. On a Sunday afternoon. At first I thought it was too crowded and because a couple of us have mobility issues it looked like we would be seated a very long way (for us) from the buffet. But having asked to be closer to the buffet, we were led to the buffet and-- Lo! -- a doorway opposite the buffet opened into a large banquet room. Perfect for people with several children, large groups, folks with mobility challenges. The room was nearly empty, though filled nicely during our visit. Ebb and flow. Fortunately for us, by the time we chose our first plates and returned to the table, the group that included about 7 noisy children right behind us had left. Food was hot enough or cold enough and always plenty enough. Table service was quick and efficient. When large groups left, staff was right there cleaning up-- floors, tables, chairs. Staff seemed very pleasant and eager to be helpful. I usually get peel and eat shrimp at Chinese buffets, not sure why I didn't except that there were so many other choices. The only shrimp I got was that one stuffed shrimp, breading packed around a whole shrimp. The baked salmon was very good, overcooked only around the edges, otherwise perfect. There was also baked cod available. The hot and sour soup was excellent... that is my usual must-have for a good Chinese restaurant. It was hot, it was sour, and it was in broth, not gravy. I have never eaten french fries at a Chinese buffet so I don't know what possessed me, but they were quite good. If I hadn't wanted to try the lo mein, I would have gotten more fries. The green beans, as much a Chinese buffet staple as 5 ways to serve broccoli, were tops... tender enough and crisp enough. The only thing I ate that I thought was too salty was the breading on the stuffed shrimp. And of the foods I'd sampled, my only other suggestion would be less mayo on the broccoli salad. So all that and why did I give only 4 stars? Answer: the price. It was Sunday, so one price all day. And there were crab legs... and plenty of them. But if you're not having crab legs (and none of us did) then $20 (19.99) is rather much for Chinese buffet. I would go again to the Amherst Buffet, but for lunch on a weekday. I hope soon I can compare the experiences. ”

“ Excellent! Very clean and plate my pick up was speedy when finished with plate Hi bocce grille was outstanding! Will return! ”

“ This was the third time my husband & I visited Amherst Buffet at their new location on Eggert Road in Tonawanda. It's been six or eight months since they moved. The restaurant is bigger & better lit than the former location on Niagara Falls Boulevard. The food is excellent & there is quite a variety of offerings. Today is Tuesday & they offered both hot & cold crab salad, which may have been imitation. I didn't eat a lot, most of what I ate was Chinese. My husband ate quite a bit & all of what we both ate was tasty. We got out of there for $50 including a tip of $4 & change. The price is slightly higher on Friday & Saturday evenings. ”

“ This has been my go to spot for good Chinese food that's not takeout. Their food is consistently good, the tables are always clean, and the prices are reasonable enough that you can get just one plate(or two, no judgement) and not feel like you have to eat 10 plates to get your money's worth. They also have decent enough sushi(if you're a sushi snob, skip it) and really good made to order hibachi. I'd say that's one of the highlights. There's little ice cream cups for the kids and a pretty extensive salad bar for whoever wants that too. Service is fast and vibe is very casual. ”

“ The food was very hot and fresh! There are lots of things to choose from! They are always filling up as they go along. Such as chicken wings, fries, and pizza for kids or adults. 6 different stations of hot foods to choose from. A variety of desserts and cups of ice cream. The sushi bar was excellent, and the hibachi was just as good! They also have a salad bar and soups. Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was very clean, bright with lots of seating available. They use smaller dinner plates and this is good because people waste too much! They have assorted drinks to choose from. You can also order take out and build your own box. Below are price charts and pictures. ”
