@@Abhinav123able and this behavior is called rude and unnecessary. If you don’t like something you could just scroll past instead of writing something mean.
I was raised in Flushing back in the dark ages. No kidding. 1944 to 1958. I left in "58 and nothing before this has made me want to return. But for this buffet, I would consider flying from CA to Flushing just for this experience. Thank you so much for this delicious video!
Hi Tim, I'm not sure if you remember me but I've been supporting you and your channel since the beginning. I always thought that you had the perfect voice and personality to make amazing videos. A lot has happened since I last commented on your videos. The main changes for me are that my Mum, who was my best friend passed away a year ago on Boxing Day 2020 so it's been a heartbreaking time for my family this year. My health is continually changing for the worst but I'm fighting to survive everyday especially because I'm the sole carer for my Dad. We are a good team together just like we were with Mum. I hope that you and your loved ones had an awesome Christmas especially since covid changed the world how we have adapted to the new normal. Take care and I hope that you are happy because you really are a special person to many as you are with me. Xx
@rodolfoquiroz7819 Thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately, 13 months after Mum died, I found my Dad after he unexpectedly but peacefully passed away. It's been a few tough years in many ways. We always thought I'd be the first to pass because 14 years ago, my lifelong specialists gave me two years at the most to live, which was realistic considering my extensive health history. I'm positive and a fighter so I tend to look at the positives and there must be a reason why God hasn't called me home yet. I wish you and your loved ones all the best. God bless
Thank you Tim. My husband and I went to the buffet at lunchtime..No Peking duck or quail but most everything else was present and wonderful. The abalone was never refilled so I didn't get to try it
Hi Tim, you found a gem this time 👍...I almost died when you mentioned me 2x in your video 🤗...I was so honored you remembered what I like to ear...now this buffet is worth $50...they had so many other different selections then your normal chinese buffets...was shocked to see a lot of items I would normally eat in a regular chinese restaurant...the dim sum ( chicken feet, etc ), the raw clams, peking duck, snails ( my fav before the clams w/ black bean sauce 🤣), sashimi looked appetizing as well, I loved the steak and scallops...I would of gotten 😤 too if he threw away the fat away 🤣🤣🤣...love my steak w/ some fat on it ( rib eye ) is my fav cut...thanks again for mentioning me in your video...I'm still in shock 😲...worth every penny 👍...glad you enjoyed yourself...be safe happy healthy and always blessed...safe travels going home 😘🤗💙
Hi Jade, it was quite interesting because from the outside, it looks like an industrial area with not too many people. But once you go inside, it was quite a nice large buffet and lots of food. LoL, when I first saw the clams and black bean sauce, I immediately thought of you. And they were pretty good too! Just too many dishes to sample. And very Merry Christmas to you
Tim, new subscriber from Australia! I Am thoroughly enjoying binge watching your videos. Love your content but more so, love that you are such a gentleman and kind soul to all that you interact with! Please keep up the great videos 😬
I'm going this sun at 12 taking 2 people as a reward for helping me clean out my storage and I showed them your video. I'm a foodie in NYC and I go to Raos once a year
Hi Tim. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for your videos. You do a great job. You seem very pleasant and well mannered. Cant wait for more. Keep up the great work 😀
Thanks Tim for visiting one of my favourite places in Flushing. Glad that you enjoyed your meal as you can never go wrong with oxtail stew! I’m so impressed how you’re able to maintain your appetite to take advantage of all these great eats. Cheers!
I was born and raised in flushing and still living there, I'm glad you had a great experience, flushing was never as popular as it is today we have so many tourist that come and visit flushing because we have alot of great Asian cuisine! Also fun fact : Flushing is known as "Little Chinatown" and the buffet he went to is located in College pt in Flushing I went there before its big and alot of selections to choose from
I'm from Brooklyn, NY. This place looks great. I'm going to try this place very soon. Flushing is incredible. My friends who are Spanish come here to eat every week & they love it.
I am in Queens as well and I was wondering where this places is. He didn’t mention it. I have family coming in and they want to go to Chinatown in Queens.
@@lupechacon-florez7520 yeah I noticed he did not mention the address thats why I said it was in College pt., if you know where Flushing Main St is its the last stop on the 7 train and there you can find alot of great selections on Asian foods, like Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, malaysian etc.
Tim, your channel is my favourite! I love how polite and friendly you are, you give honest opinions and have genuine enthusiasm! I introduced my boyfriend to your channel and he loves it too! Every time I’m down or need to relax, I watch your videos- great mood booster, I’d recommend you to everyone. Hope you’re having a great day! :)
Wow, I think this is Mikey Chen's old NYC stomping ground. This place looks so smart and clean and the price us super reasonable. The quality of the steak looked wonderful but the duck looked ever better. Perfect way to spend a chilly winter NYC evening. Thanks for sharing this one:) Blessings, James and Kim ❤
Hoping your holidays are getting better and better as we near Christmas! I can see why Mikey Chen has such a good pallet for great eats having resided in this area... Wishing you both a safe and happy Christmas 🙂
You scored 100% on this Buffet for me! I've been trying to locate this place for 6 months! Now, I can put it on my February 2022 NYC foodie tour! I was very impressed with the selection, cleanliness, service & price/ quality ratio! At about $50 for dinner, it far outweighs the Nordic buffet in RI @$125 or the Crab House Buffet in Manhattan @$105. The only items missing at The-Buffet in Flushing were lobsters & a wide selection of American-style desserts, SO WHAT🤔 Again, great stop you really persevered😁⭐👍
Hi Lawrence, it's sounding like you're all prepared for an epic trip😃. Much needed and hopefully things settle down by then. Thank you again so much for reaching out! This place was quite hard to find unfortunately... I don't think they could have made if anymore difficult to find if they tried😆
$50.00 is a good deal,but when you compare Nordic Buffet in RI,it's like day and night...it was over 25 years ago that i was at Nordic buffet and is still the best seafood buffet i have been to...i think the price was $40.00 for a two hour limit with free milk shakes..LOL...go figure..
OMG that buffet looked fantastic! That's crazy that such a great restaurant would be located in such a nondescript area. That's so good that you had this place suggested by your viewers. All the best Tim during the Christmas season and looking forward to more of your vids in the New Year :)
A very Merry Christmas to you both! Just having dinner here and enjoying Castle Loma! I was regretting not getting a chance to visit the castle but glad to be able to do it virtually and at such a nice time!
I love the fact that you're using gloves. Hundreds of people touch those utensils and aren't sanitized regularly. The mask too. Awesome for keeping others and yourself safe. Phlebotomist in Oregon. ❤❤❤
For $50 that is definitely a great deal for a buffet, I have to admit that I personally would be into the crab, scallops and prawns/shrimp as seafoods are a weakness of mine. The station also looked beautifully clean which is an absolute must when dealing with fresh foods, I would certainly dine there! Thanks for putting this up and hopefully soon I'll be able to get to the USA and experience the place.
Love those soft serve ice cream machines, especially if they have banana pudding. Large bowl with pudding on the bottom and topped with vanilla ice cream...YUM!
Hello Tim This Sgt Bobby From the Quezon City Philippines and North Bergen NJ USA I enjoy all your uploaded food shows God bless Be safe out there and just OPERATION HAPPY 😁😁😁
Wow, Tim that was great. I love your explanation of every food item you eat. It was very educational. I love Asian dramas and they always talk about different certain foods. You want to try them yourself. Thanks Tim. I really enjoy all your videos.
@@TimLeeLetsGo $50/person buffet how much can you eat I paid $22 here in Florida state USA 🇺🇸 and I can't eat much only 2 plates and now I got gout in my ankles because seafood shrimps pain hurt attacked me at night 😫 😢 don't like frog legs no flavor Cambodian Recipes cooked seasoning lemongrass with frogs lol
i love these vids i actually work like 10 min from that buffet and went to the grand opening very good food cant wait to go back "the buffet" is a two in one it has a hotel inside of it
New sub. Just ran across your video and what I deeply appreciate is how he's showing us everything thats there..His descriptions are spot on and making me hungry.. Will be binge watching to catch up.😎
What they call white tuna is not real tuna. It's a type of fish called escolar. It's an extremely oil fish that if you consume too much of will make you sick. They used to called it that in Ontario as well, but have since been removed from calling tuna because of people complaining of mislabelling fish. It's banned in Japan from consumption.
This was very enjoyable to watch, I’m glad to know that The Buffet is near my home in Queens, I’ve never heard of it! I’m definitely going to dine there soon. Thank you so much for posting this video😊
Thanks for this great review! A lot of these types of buffets have closed here in Long Island or converted to hot pot buffets. Great to know about this one!
@@TimLeeLetsGo we used to go to a buffet in Bayside called Mizumi which converted from one like The Buffet to hot pots though they still have the sushi section. The other large buffet was in Westbury called Minado but it closed down early this year. Don’t get me wrong there are an abundance of buffets in Long Island but not many are the authentic Asian ones if you know what I mean 😀
I know my spouse will really enjoy this place. Not sure when we can ever get to NYC though. This is the cleanest and most interesting Chinese buffet in the US I have ever seen!
Good correction from the folks here.. yes this is college point area. I was just relying on Google maps, but this is not an easy place to find and a bit remote and industrial 😉. Hope you get to give it a try on your next visit 😃
Nice vlog Tim. New subscriber and that buffet looks awesome. We were in NY earlier this year, but missed this buffet. Sounds like another trip to the East Coast is on our list. Enjoy the holidays and thanks for the intel.
Thank you so much for reaching out Alan! That's always the case where there's not enough time to explore New York... It's always the case where another trip needs to be planned 😃
In the Northeast from New York to Florida, is an excellent Asian Buffet chain known as the; " Flaming Grill Buffet". For around $20.00, you get Lobster, Crabs, Crayfish, Shrimp, Fish, Clams, Mussel, Oysters, Steaks, Salads, Desert. The Flaming Grill Buffet is overall the best most diverse Asain Buffet around at $20.00 per person.
Tim, as always a Great place. How could you pass on the chicken feet. I make one hella of great Chicken feet soup. Not to mention (bragg) my oxtail stew. All in all excellent. Best
Hi Tim 👋you came through with another great buffet 😍for a second I forgot that you live in Vancouver 😆 when I saw that sea bass I was like this buffet is legit ..that seafood selection 😍 all you can eat dim sum with boba tea . I would have been happy with just the first section but wow they threw in the Peking 🦆 🤤 I don't know if we can be friend after this when you skipped over the grilled 🦑 for the 🧅 ring 😆 I feel like a third of the buffet is dessert 🤤 I hope they don't have a time limit on this buffet 🤞 will definitely visit the next time I'm in NY.
Thanks David, I can certainly make the case for staying in New York... Really great restaurants everywhere you turn. Hope you get a chance to go! I think your family would love it! Also this is where Spider-Man resides so that's worth the trip alone 😉
That area is outside of Flushing and is actually called College Point. Its in a strange hotel complex in a warehouse/borderline residential area. Definitely not ideal for tourists as it is waaaay out of the way. Aimed more at folk with cars. You may have noticed that you were probably the only one walking in the streets of that area.
Thank you Wilson! It actually felt a bit strange outside because there was so many industrial buildings and auto repair shops. Even once inside the building, one could not be sure they were in the right place 😉. But once inside, it's a different story. Really nice and lively there!
Tim, when did you go there? I go to this place almost every week, would have love to meet you. I love that the tip is included in the price. Love your videos!
Thank you Meldkmo, I was there a couple of weeks ago right before the news about the new variant.. a little disappointed that we cannot travel now, but grateful to have the chance to visit New york. You live in such an amazing city!
Awesome review Tim! When in Queens NYC, I will have to check this Asian Buffet out! Seeing this place, reminds me of some years back right on the NYC and Nassau county border line, on Queens Boulevard, was the best Asain Buffet, that I ever experienced. It was called;" The Harvest Buffet". I recall meeting a gentleman, who told me that the Harvest Buffet , was the equivalent of what he experienced in Thailand, it was the best amongst the best! This establishment; " The Buffet", looks like an amazing buffet to experience. I will have to check it out!
@Tim Lee Your most welcome Tim, please keep up the good work! Sadly it seems that the Harvest Buffet on Queens Boulevard has Permintley Closed. As I did a Google search and it comes as, Permintley Closed. I believe that it was a solo Restaurant not part if a chain. I do recall that the Harvest Buffet also had whole cooked Turkey in addition to the better quality Sushi and Seafood.
Looks awesome Tim. I've had frog legs twice in Ottawa/Hull at two different Chinese restaurants. Both were served on skewers. I thought it was good. Tasted like chicken. I wonder if breading ruined it for you.
Yeah, I think it was just the seasoning or lack thereof. The coating was really nice and tasty but the meat was quite bland so I think it's probably just a matter of seasoning...
New sub !! Excellent channel mr.Tim - your culinary vids are very interesting honest & ur always respectful to servers ! Wish they had this buffet in Toronto - Few items would not touch but sooo many that look delicious. Continued success with your channel 😎🇨🇦👍👍
I live a mile from here and have gone dozens of times. It truly is delicious and worth a visit. It is probably considered to be in the town of College Point more than Flushing. About a 10 minute drive from downtown Flushing or 15 minutes by bus. 20th avenue and 130st vicinity. Enjoy!
Hi Alice-Marie, thank you so much for reaching out and I must say you live in an amazing area! Had an amazing time exploring and just wish I had a little bit more time to do so. A very Happy New year to you and yours 🙂
thanks for all the great vids & recommendations, planning to visit my home state of new york soon & fully intend on hitting a lot of the spots you featured on your channel. straight up doing god's work my friend
Wow you went out to College Point, no one really goes out there. Its so out of the way. They do have a really nice sichuanese place there! It's called Little Pepper
I has been to this place few time ago, i went there fir lunch and dinner too, i like the Cantonese and mandarin dish as well, i wqnt to go back for dining again
Hi Shirley, this place wasn't bad at all! Really enjoyed all the food and given that drinks and all the seafood were included, $50 wasn't too bad for dinner 🙂... Still pricey though, but not too bad
My hometown Flushing ! You were walking at night in an isolated area which could be unsafe ! Next time when I go home, I will stop by. Thanks for sharing !
Buffet are my favourite places to go. I love trying buffet In different restaurant. In singapore most our buffet inside Hotel n some are in shopping. As we can eat slowly n relaxing. We can't finish trying every food. But is worth if food delicious 😋
I went there at lunch time today.it was very good and cheap! I got $2 discount.totally I spent $27 per person.I had bubble tea,sashimi,sushi,seafood,dessert etc.very yummy.
I absolutely loved it! I love to watching your video and it made me more enjoyable lol look like that in NYC is a very popular place to eat seafoods here in California in San Francisco you should try! Have many many seafoods restaurants in San Francisco California
Thank you Gabrielle, just having fun with the videos and grateful to be able to share these experiences...the servers and hosts there were such good sports 😃
Thank you Loanne, hopefully you're enjoying the cooler weather. It's interesting because the restaurant is located in an industrial area where there's not too many people, but once you go in it's quite nice and lively. Merry Christmas to you
That's the best selection from a chinese buffet I've ever seen 🤤😍 that Peking duck portion was amazing!

I've been at this buffet with my family a few times, it's amazing!!
Btw this is NOT Flushing....it's College Point!
Thanks what is address
Yeah I was going to mention the same…decent distance from flushing strip.
So glad you are making them longer I watch everyone that you do you are so polite to everyone

Thanks for this great review! A lot of these types of buffets have closed here in Long Island or converted to hot pot buffets. Great to know about this one!
Oh, that's interesting they would convert to a hot pot setting.... Still sounds very good! 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo we used to go to a buffet in Bayside called Mizumi which converted from one like The Buffet to hot pots though they still have the sushi section. The other large buffet was in Westbury called Minado but it closed down early this year. Don’t get me wrong there are an abundance of buffets in Long Island but not many are the authentic Asian ones if you know what I mean 😀
Such an awesome buffet. I’ve not been here since COVID started. Looks like I’ll need to make a trip!
@@dslouie4944 Try DJ's international buffet in Garden City. Go for dinner, you can thank me later :)
DJs International Buffet in Garden City is still doing it up big!
I know my spouse will really enjoy this place. Not sure when we can ever get to NYC though. This is the cleanest and most interesting Chinese buffet in the US I have ever seen!
This is going on my NY trip list ☺️ thanks for the cool tour Tim!
This is in College Point and not close to subway.
Good correction from the folks here.. yes this is college point area. I was just relying on Google maps, but this is not an easy place to find and a bit remote and industrial 😉. Hope you get to give it a try on your next visit 😃
not gonna lie everything looked sooooo tasty
Nice vlog Tim. New subscriber and that buffet looks awesome. We were in NY earlier this year, but missed this buffet. Sounds like another trip to the East Coast is on our list. Enjoy the holidays and thanks for the intel.
Thank you so much for reaching out Alan! That's always the case where there's not enough time to explore New York... It's always the case where another trip needs to be planned 😃
That place looks amazing. Love your channel and how kind you are to other people.
The Buffet looks good Tim! You are good at finding the place! I would have been so lost 😂😂
Thank you Bee, it was fun exploring the area🙂
Thanks for this review. Huge buffet. Looked really good. Thanks and take care.
In the Northeast from New York to Florida, is an excellent Asian Buffet chain known as the; " Flaming Grill Buffet". For around $20.00, you get Lobster, Crabs, Crayfish, Shrimp, Fish, Clams, Mussel, Oysters, Steaks, Salads, Desert. The Flaming Grill Buffet is overall the best most diverse Asain Buffet around at $20.00 per person.
Tim, as always a Great place. How could you pass on the chicken feet. I make one hella of great Chicken feet soup. Not to mention (bragg) my oxtail stew. All in all excellent. Best
I think he’s trying to attract viewers lol as tasty as they are
Oh... Nothing like a great oxtail stew... It used to be our family favorite that it was very affordable. Now it's more expensive than prime rib 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo Tim, hear ya there on oxtail cost. Merry Christmas. Best
Dear Mr. Tim Thanks for bringoing your videos and memories. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
Hi Tim 👋you came through with another great buffet 😍for a second I forgot that you live in Vancouver 😆 when I saw that sea bass I was like this buffet is legit ..that seafood selection 😍 all you can eat dim sum with boba tea . I would have been happy with just the first section but wow they threw in the Peking 🦆 🤤 I don't know if we can be friend after this when you skipped over the grilled 🦑 for the 🧅 ring 😆 I feel like a third of the buffet is dessert 🤤 I hope they don't have a time limit on this buffet 🤞 will definitely visit the next time I'm in NY.
Thanks David, I can certainly make the case for staying in New York... Really great restaurants everywhere you turn. Hope you get a chance to go! I think your family would love it! Also this is where Spider-Man resides so that's worth the trip alone 😉
Thank you very much Tim...⛄🎄🎅🎁❄😘🤗💙
Thank you Jade 🙂
That area is outside of Flushing and is actually called College Point. Its in a strange hotel complex in a warehouse/borderline residential area. Definitely not ideal for tourists as it is waaaay out of the way. Aimed more at folk with cars. You may have noticed that you were probably the only one walking in the streets of that area.
What hotel is this in please? Thanks 😊
Thank you Wilson! It actually felt a bit strange outside because there was so many industrial buildings and auto repair shops. Even once inside the building, one could not be sure they were in the right place 😉. But once inside, it's a different story. Really nice and lively there!
You eat big but you chew and taste unlike a lot of food vloggers. Appreciate the manners!
Tim, when did you go there? I go to this place almost every week, would have love to meet you. I love that the tip is included in the price. Love your videos!
Thank you Meldkmo, I was there a couple of weeks ago right before the news about the new variant.. a little disappointed that we cannot travel now, but grateful to have the chance to visit New york. You live in such an amazing city!
Hello what is the address of this place please? Thanks 😊
@@jedimyndtryck 20-07 127th St 4th floor, Queens, NY 11356
What is the address? I live in Flushing and want to go there
@@marefynn81 see above
Ox tail soup was one of my favorites! My Dad was an expert in making Ox tail soup for us. He perfected the broth too!
Awesome review Tim!
When in Queens NYC, I will have to check this Asian Buffet out!
Seeing this place, reminds me of some years back right on the NYC and Nassau county border line, on Queens Boulevard, was the best Asain Buffet, that I ever experienced. It was called;" The Harvest Buffet".
I recall meeting a gentleman, who told me that the Harvest Buffet , was the equivalent of what he experienced in Thailand, it was the best amongst the best!
This establishment; " The Buffet", looks like an amazing buffet to experience. I will have to check it out!
Thank you so much! I wonder if the harvest Buffet is still there
@Tim Lee
Your most welcome Tim, please keep up the good work!
Sadly it seems that the Harvest Buffet on Queens Boulevard has Permintley Closed. As I did a Google search and it comes as, Permintley Closed. I believe that it was a solo Restaurant not part if a chain.
I do recall that the Harvest Buffet also had whole cooked Turkey in addition to the better quality Sushi and Seafood.
Thank you for always being so entertaining as well as knowledgable I've tryed watching other buffet reviews and there's is soo boring
Looks awesome Tim. I've had frog legs twice in Ottawa/Hull at two different Chinese restaurants. Both were served on skewers. I thought it was good. Tasted like chicken. I wonder if breading ruined it for you.
Yeah, I think it was just the seasoning or lack thereof. The coating was really nice and tasty but the meat was quite bland so I think it's probably just a matter of seasoning...
Port Royal, Jamaica Captain here in NYC! Loving it! Thank u for letting me know about The Buffet! I'll go dine there one day! Bless up!
I've seen better buffets than this one, on your channel. Happy Holidays Tim.
Thanks Apollo P. It's kind of funny with all the great restaurants in new york, buffets are far and few between. Glad to have found this one though🙂
New sub !!
Excellent channel mr.Tim - your culinary vids are very interesting honest & ur always respectful to servers !
Wish they had this buffet in Toronto - Few items would not touch but sooo many that look delicious. Continued success with your channel 😎🇨🇦👍👍
Another great video.. you are such a calming personality.. God bless..
I live a mile from here and have gone dozens of times. It truly is delicious and worth a visit. It is probably considered to be in the town of College Point more than Flushing. About a 10 minute drive from downtown Flushing or 15 minutes by bus. 20th avenue and 130st vicinity. Enjoy!
Hi Tim! New sub here. I'm in Queens never heard of this place. So glad I came across your channel. Can't wait to check this place out🙂
Hi Alice-Marie, thank you so much for reaching out and I must say you live in an amazing area! Had an amazing time exploring and just wish I had a little bit more time to do so. A very Happy New year to you and yours 🙂
I ate here in the summer and it was awesome. Love the ambience. The entire establishment is extremely clean. I will be dining there again.
It was a surprisingly nice find.. but a bit hard to locate though...
@@TimLeeLetsGo Tim..it was. I had to call them.
I went to this place yesterday, and I loved it! Especially the chocolate fountain and the cake.
Great to hear! It’s a fun experience
Thanks Tim great videos. Cut back on my portions after watching you lol Happy 2022
thanks for all the great vids & recommendations, planning to visit my home state of new york soon & fully intend on hitting a lot of the spots you featured on your channel.
straight up doing god's work my friend
Thank you so much for your kind comment and safe travels to you.

Excellent food vlogger. Thank you Tim.
Amazing varieties of food :) Wish they will open one of these buffets in southern CA.
I just subscribed. Great video; I'm a big foodie will be binge watching all the videos on your channel.
Thank you so much. Really grateful to get to share these experiences here and connect with everyone
Wow you went out to College Point, no one really goes out there. Its so out of the way. They do have a really nice sichuanese place there! It's called Little Pepper
I will definitely have to try this Buffet in Flushing. Thanks for the video.
It was quite an enjoyable meal.. a few people mentioned that they have lobster as well from time to time...
There is nothing you can't get in new York! Everything from everywhere!
I has been to this place few time ago, i went there fir lunch and dinner too, i like the Cantonese and mandarin dish as well, i wqnt to go back for dining again
Hi Shirley, this place wasn't bad at all! Really enjoyed all the food and given that drinks and all the seafood were included, $50 wasn't too bad for dinner 🙂... Still pricey though, but not too bad
My hometown Flushing ! You were walking at night in an isolated area which could be unsafe ! Next time when I go home, I will stop by. Thanks for sharing !
I, never knew that New York had an buffet.
Looks delicious 🥰🤤😋!
Neither did I! Buffets are far in a few between in New York
The Crab legs and the Scallops look the best. Very nice buffet
Buffet are my favourite places to go. I love trying buffet In different restaurant. In singapore most our buffet inside Hotel n some are in shopping. As we can eat slowly n relaxing. We can't finish trying every food. But is worth if food delicious 😋
I love that he says "Flushings, Queen". Too cute!
Oh, yeah... misplaced the s😉
Wow, all the food looks so yummy! I hope I can visit this place soon. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you get a chance to try... nice to find a buffet in NY 🙂
Big fan of frog legs myself. And I do love that sweet fungus dessert soup. Merry Christmas, Tim!
I went there at lunch time today.it was very good and cheap! I got $2 discount.totally I spent $27 per person.I had bubble tea,sashimi,sushi,seafood,dessert etc.very yummy.
I absolutely loved it! I love to watching your video and it made me more enjoyable lol look like that in NYC is a very popular place to eat seafoods here in California in San Francisco you should try! Have many many seafoods restaurants in San Francisco California
That's the jackpot. Once-in-a-lifetime Tim 😛🤩🙂🙏🙂🤩 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Joe 🎄

You goid selection is amost mine. I can't wait to go. Home in NJ to Flushing is 30mins. Wooooow!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Great to know. There’s not too many buffets in the New York area.
Hi Tim, another great video.$50 for a large buffet in NY is a good deal. Finally, Arizona got some cold weather. Stay warm Tim.❤️from Arizona
Thank you Loanne, hopefully you're enjoying the cooler weather. It's interesting because the restaurant is located in an industrial area where there's not too many people, but once you go in it's quite nice and lively. Merry Christmas to you
LoL! Tim Always enjoy your food comments! Your voice commentary remind me if Mister Roger’s were a food blogger, you be an Asian version of him 😆
Thank you so much for the kind comment 😃
Guess they are big they don’t need to advertise. Looks amazing. The duck.......awesome!!
Yeah, I must say, they are fantastic for their buffet, advertising, not so much 😆
Thank you for all the good foods
Great job tim merry Christmas and happy new year.😀😀😋
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Chester🎄
