Min Dynasty Buffet

We love Ming dynasty, nice place go for great selection on food.love the grill you get stir fry any way you like...great price ,to me..we go often, our family favorite place.

The food recipes are good. The servers try to be helpful, but they know little English. The warmers do not keep food hot, so you have to get anything not soupy while it's fresh or it won't be hot - it may still taste good, but it will likely not be hot. They rarely, if ever, replace foods that aren't low, so I'd advise you to not go after 1pm and before 5pm. They recently closed the Hibachi grill, which one of the real values. They either keep the thermostat set low or have an underpowered unit, so the place is warm in hot weather and cool on cold weather (though right now it's perfect outside, so it's fine inside). And yes, they have never in the last decade kept up on smoke detector batteries, so there is usually one and often several beeping.

But the food is good - I particularly like the chicken wings - and the price is good, though not quite as good a deal now that they've closed the hibachi grill.

Hibachi Grill in JC has better quality, but they don't have the same wings, and they're about an hour drive round-trip. And you don't want to go there during slow times either, since they also don't replace things that have sat there since lunch, even if it's now 4:30pm. My parents experienced that at Hibachi Grill - paid dinner price and only had cold lunch food. Now we make sure to arrive at either place between 11 and 1.

The buffet the day we were there was delicious. It's our first visit in several years. We don't eat enough to match the price we paid so doubt we will become frequent patrons.
