Food was good and Buffett well stocked. Hibachi as well and sushi. Would definitely come back.
(4)Jane S.
My husband and I popped into Amber on Friday night for a quick pre-movie dinner. We had heard good things about the place and we had just enough time to go through the buffet before heading back to the theater for a our Friday night flick. We went in not knowing the pricing for dinner. We liked the interior decor of the front of house although the back section of booths were poorly lit and the booths themselves a bit dingy. Upon ordering drinks we set about selecting our choices from the buffet bar. And trust me, there were a LOT of choices. I've been to many a Chinese buffet and Amber definitely had a nice wide varieties of food available. I took enough for 1-2 bites of 8-10 dishes, as well as a small bowl of egg drop soup. The only thing that disappointed was the soup, which was bland and tasteless. However, the rest of the food made up for that. All was delicious and well-cooked, with good flavor. My husband also enjoyed his plate, with no complaints. We went back for seconds, trying new things this time. My husband tried a couple pieces of sushi and his only complaint was that the fish portion was a bit too large for the "setting." I'd say between the two of us we tried at least 20 dishes available and only the soup disappointed. My husband sampled a couple items from the dessert bar while I abstained. He liked what he tried. Our server was timely with water refills and polite at all times. When the bill came we didn't flinch at the price ($17 per person). We were both full and had enjoyed the food. We definitely ate the same amount of food as we'd order at another restaurant, where between appetizers, drinks and the entrees we'd almost certainly have paid more). I'd add another star if the back booths were updated and better lit. As it was, the food did NOT disappoint, and we made it to the theater just in time for previews to start!
(3)Jeff F.
One of the best buffets I've ever been to. I didn't know what to eat first. It is a beautiful and rare thing when quality and quantity come together.
(5)KeiKei B.
The location is in a shopping mall in Rock Hill that has Macy's. Wonderful place to be. When I walk in I was greeted immediately by staff. Since I was waiting for a few friends I was directed to the bench by the door. Great spot to see when my party arrived. When they did we were seated immediately. What an expansive bar! There is a cold side, a hot side, a meat side, a soup side, a veggie side, a dessert side, and so many sides! There was so much food to choose from that I couldn't choose anything at all without wanting something else! I went with the mussels and a few green beans. I was with three very cool dudes who's been to Amber's before so they knew exactly what they wanted and they had everything!! The food smelled great and they enjoyed their fare. All of it smelled great. The service was awesome and the unsweetened tea was deep and had body. I liked the waitress and she was amazing. Very nice service and awesome place to have lunch. You will enjoy eating at Amber's.
(3)Jonathan G.
Cleanliness of the restaurant is aweful. Dirt all over the window seals and food splashed everywhere. Will not be returning. Michelle is the only server with a personality and listens to you.
(1)Rena H.
As good as the new jasmine buffet. You get fresh oyster and it feels like you are sitting near the beach and its FRESH. A big plus. Not many people even at Friday night. A plus too. And they have sashimi! A third plus. I'll definitely recommend.
(5)AJ M.
This is my place to go for buffet in this area. Yes, it is a bit of a longer drive from Charlotte, but I think it's well worth it, considering there are plenty.. I mean plenty of Chinese buffet style places around. The prices are reasonable ~$11-12 for lunch, and it has never been too crowded. They have the typical buffet items, but the addition of a sushi station AND the Mongolian-style grill makes it worth it. They do focus on quality as I've seen the lady pick off misshaped pieces and throw them away in the garbage! But on the other hand, you can tell some of the less popular dishes have been sitting out for a while (i.e. chewy or mushy). I come here any time my parents come visit as that is our routine.
(4)Andrea G.
This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always fresh and the service is good.
(4)Tony C.
Way overpriced! 16.95 per person for dinner. All they added was some overcooked over salted crab legs. We have been coming here for quite a few years, but no more. To increase the price by $5.00 in a year is to much.
(1)David B.
I love this place!!! Best Asian buffet I've been to in SC. The quality of food is usually less at buffets. That is not the case at Amber. They never put out too much of any item, so it never sits there and gets stale. The food is always fresh. The quality also sets Amber apart. It's just flat out good. The Italian chicken is my favorite item in the buffet. The hibachi is good, but they removed the steak from the selections. Cool contemporary theme. You cross a coy river and bridge to get to the dining room. Kids and parents will love this place. I stop by here every time I work in Rock Hill. You will keep eating even when full because it tastes so good!
(5)April B.
Went for the first time today Husband got food poisoning threw up all the way home I stayed in the bathroom for the last 4 hours will never go back atmosphere was beautiful the waiter was wonderful the food look great I don't know what happened
(1)Steve O.
When this place first opened I would've given it five stars. I think I got food poisoning last time I went here. Stomach hurt for two days. Hibachi was not even open on the weekend. I hate to give bad reviews but you're better off going to a hole in the wall Chinese takeout. probably get the same quality food. I know it will be hotter than the lukewarm buffet served here.
(2)M S.
This is one of the best Chinese buffets/restaurants that I've been to in a long time. I was visiting friends in the area last weekend and we went Sunday night. I loved the fish pond as you first walked in and the general décor of the restaurant. We were seated quickly and our drink orders taken just as quickly. The buffet itself was fantastic. I'm from Rhode Island and I've never seen such variety on a buffet. I took a little of each of my favorites and was pleased at the quality of the food, I did try the mozzarella stick and wasn't impressed, but out of everything that was the only thing that didn't impress me. I'm sure children love them and that's why they have them. Our waitress was excellent as well, she appeared out of nowhere to refill our drinks several times, took away our plates as soon as they emptied and didn't mind us all lingering after our meal. The dessert section of the buffet was also fantastic, more variety than I'm used to, several kinds of cakes as well as fruits, jello, pudding and ice cream. I was impressed with the cleanliness of this restaurant as well and plan to visit again on my next visit to the area, which can't come to soon!!
(5)Alice K.
Hands down, this is the best chinese buffet of all time!!! I've been to many chinese buffets but this place can't compare. The interior is very nicely decorated and it doesn't look cheap. Its also very clean. The variety in the buffet is insane. There is so much food. My favorite part is the hibachi grill and the sushi. The sushi is some of the best I've tried at a Chinese buffet. YOU NEED TO GO AT THE RIGHT TIME OF DAY FOR THE GOOD FOODS.
(4)R C.
Horrible food and very dirty restaurant! I am surprised they are not being shut down. So, my family has eaten here many times over the years and when the restaurant opened it was fantastic: Great quality and lots of good food. Ever since then, the quality has went down, down, and more down. Before I started writing my comment of my dinner tonight (and the last time I will ever step foot in the place again) I read the reviews. There were a couple I agreed with, mostly that they do have a lot of selection of food. What I couldn't get over is how there were some that really liked the food. My only guess is that they had just eaten at McDonald's the night before and that is what they were comparing it to. One reviewer mentioned that it was food service food re-heated. Fair assumption and actually a bit generous in my opinion. Let me run down a few things that my family ate: Sushi - This makes "gas station sushi" look and taste great. Crab Rangoon's - I actually still liked them, probably the best thing on the menu Ice cream - they now do small cartons of Hershey's - tastes like it is old and freezer burned - what a treat! Any variety of Shrimp I tried (coconut, fried, etc) - all tasted old and re-heated. Hot and Sour soup - Worst I have ever had and I have ate a lot of this at different places. Sesame Chicken - a flavor I have never tasted, not sure how to describe. Sugar Sticky buns - the first one my daughter bit into I actually heard a crunch - they are not supposed to do that. Mandarin oranges - old and kind of mushy - "that ain't right". Desert cakes and pastries - ALL were old, hard, or otherwise not edible. We ate a few other items, not of them good enough to note as edible. All the food tasted stale and old - a weird rubbery kind of dry texture. I can only guess that they used outdated ingredients and end of life meat. Service - well, what do I say here, they are not friendly, they don't speak the language and didn't do much for me in the way of service. How do I rate that except "crap". The tip of $0.00 secretly announced my displeasure. The price was $32 after tax for two adults and a child - I would have rather rolled and smoked the bills... Lastly, let's talk about cleanliness. OMG....really? OMG! The place is in a state of disrepair and mess. What a DIRTY place. in the booth we sat (area where the food is) I got a good look at the tables that were totally worn out and bench seating that was broke and moving all over. There was splatter of food and disgusting "who knows what" on the walls. The floor was filthy. I got a really good look at where the food was sitting and the entire buffet area - DISGUSTING! I assume that they are using old stock and will be shutting down soon. I hope so anyway so that another nice/good restaurant can spring up in it's place. There are many good places to eat, don't waste your time, money, or stomach at this place
(1)China T.
I love this buffet. Reasonably priced. I'd personally go for lunch.
(5)Bernard S.
Food was extremely cold and had to wait 40 minutes till anything fresh came out and only because I took all of the old lo ming off the bar... total waste of money will never go here again. I will admit the first time dining here food was good and hot but consistency is a must and Amber just doesn't offer that. Stay away from this over priced basic buffet. 40.00 for 2 people with only 1 soda.
(1)Brian A.
If Hunter S. Thompsen decided to partner with Quentin Tarantino to run an Asian buffet, this would be it. Don't be fooled by this statement though. As appealing as the carousel scene from Fear and Loathing, set to the whistling theme from Kill Bill may be...Amber's total lack of scruples or integrity, will keep me from ever visiting this establishment again. Four and a half stars on Yelp is usually a thumbs up to try...except for podunk towns. Guess what Rock Hill? So the word through the grapevine was that the buffet was $11. I'm okay with that. I'll give it a try. Friday night, the price for the buffet is $16.95...yes...you read that right. So...I'm looking at the entrance...then at my phone that has Yelp blinking 4.5 stars at me...back at the entrance...back at my phone. The inside looked so crazy, that I thought...why not...let's just do this. The buffet is quite large and they serve sushi that doesn't look like buffet sushi. Guess what...it's buffet sushi (slaps his forehead...duh). Everything is under a heat-lamp like you'd expect. The food is exactly the same...what you'd expect from a buffet...with the exception of a frozen cheese stick and various things you don't typically find at these buffets. The food here is completely average, typical Asian buffet food. Three stars for food that tastes exactly like every other buffet that is average. So why the two stars then? Amber gets one star knocked off of the three for pricing average food at $17. The food is only worth $17, if you're the type of person that worries the staff by how much you're about to eat.
(2)Simone M.
Was there for Valentines Day this year with my Mom. We given a flower and the restaurant was ful with people to. The buffet was good as usual and didnt have enough room for crab legs. Will travel the distance again for this great tasting restaurant and their cleanliness.
(5)Racer S.
Ok, Amber wasn't terrible, I just wouldn't consider any of the dishes that I tried "good". Seafood was old - avoid the sushi at all costs - tasted very fishy. With most of the chinese bbq type dishes the meat was really tough and chewy. Most vegetable dishes were overcooked.
(2)Cynthia B.
My first time at Amber B&H last night. We live in Charlotte and decided to dine there. I am so glad that my Daughter, Sharrona and her Husband, Randy chose Amber B&H. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great, the staff was very friendly. I'm looking forward to going back for many visits with friends and family. Here is a picture of ONE of the plates I served myself. Ummmmmmmm, delish!...
(5)Taryn H.
GROSS! when they first open, it was good, and clean, but now I would never eat there again. All the foods that should be cold - sushi, salad, fruit, pastries were warm and everything else that should be hot were not. We complain to no avail. Won't be back you could get very sick eating there. Dear Amber Buffet & Hibachi, If you have a thermometer use it - it is there to help you keep the food safe for customers.
(1)Joshua S.
Overpriced. Very high variety of food, including sushi, made to order hibachi, a variety of pre-made hot dishes and soups, and crab legs that were soggy and very disappointing. Nice atmosphere, clean restrooms. Service was pleasant but very slow, and the buffet was not refilled frequently enough. Average Chinese buffet for above-average price.
(3)Tony M.
This is my first time going to Amber and I was surprised at how large and clean the buffet area is. Usually at buffets the staff could care less about how it looks as long as you are willing to eat what you see. But, they take a measure of pride in their presentation. The food is average and basically what you would expect from a buffet. The price left a lot to be desired at 15.00 per person (all in w/ tax) for a Wednesday evening. They also had fried rice with dried cranberries, which was crazy to me, but for others it worked. They ate it like it was normal. I suggest they go back to traditional fried rice. Otherwise, it was a fairly decent buffet. I would suggest you go there on a Monday when the price is lower.
(3)J T.
Decided to try this restaurant after passing by several times. Staff is exceedingly friendly and earned the 3 stars with their smiles and attentive drink refills. Sushi is buffet quality, it was OK. No signs on any of the sushi entrees to indicate the types of fish or roll contents. No labels on the sashimi either. The rest of the offerings are standard Chinese buffet. Serving trays are plates instead of a steam tray and the food wasn't super hot. Food quality was average. Found it strange that they sell wine but not beer. Dinner for two was $33, which felt expensive.
(3)Anthony H.
I've heard many good things about Amber Buffet so I checked it out with the family. I did like decor and the layout but when it comes to business, this one is slightly above average and that's it. When I think of buffet, I think of overeating, cheap prices, germs and well just a regular buffet experience. I rarely eat at buffet restaurants and Amber hasn't changed my mind. The selection was decent with the sushi and hibachi style option but all in all I left the same way I came in...skeptical. There's not much more to really say about Amber restaurant other than it's a puffed up version of fine dining dressed up as high end but fails in both of those areas. If you're really into Chinese buffet dining then you may be pleasantly surprised but if you're like me then it's best that you just skip this place. 2 1/2 stars.
(2)Rose S.
This place is great! My boyfriend and I love Asian food and were an easy sell. However, my mother is extremely picky about Asian food... and she loves it. she demands it whenever she is in town (which astounds me). Not only do they have a great selection but it's not just "southern style Asian" (anything deep fried and smothered in sauce) there's some great and healthier options too! not to mention their sushi bar is delicious!
(5)Stephanie D.
Was taken here today by a vendor with my coworkers. As soon as we pulled in, I felt my eyes widen and stomach turn. "No," I silently cried, "Nooooo!" To be kind to my generous vendor I had a few rolls, some lettuce and one piece of chicken. Immediately I felt my stomach ask me why, why put buffet food in me? Germs, bacteria... There was a musty, moldy smell that accompanied the place. The bathroom smelled overly sweet, possibly to cover up the amount of people who get sick in there every day. Decor is tacky and gaudy. Koi pond is filthy, those poor koi :( The table tops were greasy and sticky. Overall seemingly very unsanitary. Writing this at my desk, fighting how sick I feel because I need this money. But I don't know how much longer I can last.

It's big. It's clean. It's LED lit. Yup, this is a buffet that has something for everyone, unless what you want is to sit and be served. The displays of food are ample, and on platter versus sitting in steam trays. This is a double-edged sword. On the plus side it keeps things from getting mushy. On the downside, things weren't piping hot. However, fret not. There is a made-to-order stir fry station and ample, inventive sushi to make up for that. Finally, the koi that you'll pass when entering can be fed, and would be grateful for that. However, don't steal from the buffet to do that. The hostess sells bags of fish food for .25 cents. Indulge. You probably will have eaten fish. The least you can do is feed some, too.

Great food and largest buffet I have seen in a while. This place is good and they keep it well stocked with food. Sushi selection is good as well.

Amber's interior is beautiful. Once you walk into the restaurant, there is a bridge you have to cross to get to your seat. Under the bridge is a little pond of koi fish. I was definitely a huge tourist as I posed for pictures in front of the the fountain/pond/bridge lol Typically, I don't care for buffets. They are normally very insanitary and the food is mediocre. Contrary to other buffets, Amber was delicious! The food is presented on plates. Only small portions are brought out at a time, ensuring the freshness of the food (unlike other Chinese buffets where the food is mushy). The only thing I didn't really care for is the sushi, but then I wouldn't expect a Chinese buffet to have good sushi anyways. They do have a hibachi grill where you can choose favorite ingredients (variety of veggies and protein) and have your meal made fresh!

Had dinner her with the family on Christmas Day 2013. Only the buffet was available but that was OK with us since we usually don't order from the menu. The buffet was well filled and service was great. The sushi buffet selection was excellent as usual and very fresh. We are never disappointed when dining at Amber and since they are one of the few places open on Christmas, may make this a tradition.

Food was great a lot of choice and the atmosphere was really relaxing and can't beat the price

Ate here once before and had a good experience, so went again with my Mom. The restaurant was originally a cafeteria, but you could not tell that by how its been remodeled with the open buffet area and fish pond. The place is clean and orderly, though the booths tend to move if you jump into them. The main buffet area has a large selection of foods to choose from, with items a bit more Americanized; as a result, I enjoy a variety they had to offer. The amber rice, their take on fried rice, was especially very good. Portion sizes on the tables are controlled, thus the food items don't sit very as long as some buffet places. The sushi section was a surprise with actually good sushi, though it would benefit all if they labeled there as well. The hibachi grill area was the best, pick what you want and have it cooked fresh. The desert area had the usual suspects of Chinese buffet deserts, plus three types of jellos and Hershey ice cream. Overall, I ate more food than I should, as did my Mom visiting; give it full five stars and is much better than the other nearby buffet places in the Pineville area.

After living in China for a couple of years, returning home was rough, as far as getting REAL Chinese food. For the last year and a half I have tried every Chinese restaurant that I can, from Greenville to Charleston, from Columbia to Charlotte. All left me disappointed, especially buffets. THEN I FOUND Amber Buffet! It was a-maz-ing. Many authentic Chinese and Thai (been there too) dishes that I have not been able to find in America at all! The cooked cabbage dish for one- no other restaurants even offer it. And the Thai stir-fried dishes - really authentic and amazing! So my review? This place is fantastic!! Planning to take the entire family on President's Day for lunch- all 6 of us miss real Asian food so much....and now we can get some!!! :)

What can I say... It wasn't good I mean nothing none of what I ate was satisfying nor enjoyable to eat. $18 is what I paid and I would say the meal I ate wasn't worth $3. My conclusion is this place sucks eat anywhere else and you'd be more satisfied.
(1)Mimi C.
Was really surprised by how good the food was and the cleanliness/design of the restaurant. Probably one of the best Asian places I've been to in a long time. Big variety of foods - does have a few very "American" foods but probably good for families who bring picky little ones along. Would definitely recommend to others.

Being a Chinese buffet junkie, I was curious about this place for a while before I ever stopped in. The interior was nicely done, and the buffet selection goes on and on. The food is above average, and if you go anytime but lunch, so are the prices. They offer crab legs at night on the weekends and raise the prices by 70% over their lunch menu. I guess the place would be so crowded you'd be standing in a line out the door if the pricing wasn't over the top. Good choice for lunch anytime.
(4)Brooke B.
Wonderful place! Excellent, wide array of food including REAL calimari, fresh sushi, and just abut everything you could think of in a. Buffet plus abut 10 kings I've never tried before. The atmosphere is lovely with lighting and a koi pond. I bumped into one of the chefs out in public, complimented her and she was so very nice! A wonderful place? Thanks again!
(5)Shawn C.
The choices are excellent on buffet. Very fresh fruits & salad bar selections. Variety of foods not just Chinese. Duck, chicken, oysters on half shell, shrimp in many ways, sushi, typical Chinese take out choices. I recommend getting only a bite size amount of each item because your plate will soon be full as well as your stomach. Went on a Sunday around 12:30pm and it was not crowded. Service was ample & did her job well just not a social one.

Been several times. It gets dirtier and dirtier. Look at the covers on the booths. All of them covered in grease. The floor is dirty. Wall decor dirty. The koi pond has trash all around it. They have not cleaned that or added any pebbles around t.he pond. It looks cheap and dirty. Cigarette butts and garbage all around the entrance. Filthy in foyer. LOOK!!! If this is outside and dining area, what's the kitchen like? They might have been clean once but they are now dirty. Got too relaxed when they got some good reviews.

It was really gross.. I tried three different types of chicken and all were dry like jerky. So I sent three full plates away... finally gave up and tried some of the cute little tea cakes but those were all dry around the edges like they had been sitting out all day. We only went here because all of the other restaurants in the area had a 45 minute wait. This one had none which speaks volumes. They were selling all kinds of digital accessories at the register too which was just odd. I'll give one star because my daughter liked looking at the koi.

The all you can eat buffet includes a pretty shocking number of sushi (rolls and nigiri) and sashimi options. You can also pull together your own hibachi dish. The Chinese dishes were about average. The desert was ok - maybe an area of improvement but I was so full I didn't really care. The mens restroom was a little gross too.
(5)John K.
went back again on a recent visit to Rock Hill. same as before good service from staff busy attentive people on the warming trays keeping things clean changing the thongs spoons. I am a big fan of the hot and sour soup tasted fresh and a nice spicey flavor. Bok choy , string beans and very good. Ribs nicely flavored but luke warm.. sushi bar very nicely displayed and tasty..
(4)Philie Y.
Went there on Tuesday night. It was a good spread, with plenty of sushi, regular Chinese food, seafood and hibachi. Thought it was above average and definitely awesome for Rock Hill. @ Angie W, you may also like Tin Tin in Pineville which has even more authentic Chinese dishes that you may yearn as in China.

Saw a few bad reviews so just had to clear some things up. Most of the really bad reviews seem to be from people who are totally against buffets.....well buffet is in the name. Have to admit though, coming from CA where you can get just about any kind of authentic food, the sushi is pretty good. The sashimi at the dinner buffet (which they always warn you is more than lunch) was nice too. I believe they charge more at dinner because they do have sashimi, a better selection of sushi and there are always crab legs. My husband even enjoys the oysters, although sometimes they are small. If you want cheap chinese food, then get the standard sesame chicken, noodles etc. If you want a nice meal and your money's worth, get sushi, oysters, crab legs at all you can eat..now that's a bargain for good food. There are some items that are typical buffet, but there are also some very nice choices. It's up to you what you make of the buffet. That's just what a buffet is for..lots of choices. I go for the sushi and sashimi. My husband enjoys the oysters, sushi and crab legs. We never feel like we overpaid and have always had attentive wait staff.

Amazing! I've only eaten here once but I can't say anything bad about it. The buffet is hands down the best buffet I have ever been to. We were so excited to find that they were the one restaurant that was open during our travels on Christmas day. Many options to choose from at the buffet and everything was fresh and delicious. The bathrooms were very clean and the service was good. Can't wait to get back there!!

Our family used to go here often. Sunday lunch buffet is decent and reasonably priced at $10.95. The food is mostly average Asian buffet, but they have a little more variety. We attempted to go on Mother's Day and they nearly doubled their lunch to $17. I don't think Ruby Tuesday, Applebee's, Ryan's, or any other nearby restaurant ripped their customers off by jacking up their prices and taking advantage of their customers. The place may have some nice decor, but that's about all that separates it from other large Asian buffets.
(2)Shawn W.
Best way to describe this place is Asian buffet on crack. This buffet is huge and crazy busy, and has practically everything you could want including a hibachi cook that makes personalized orders. The price is good for a buffet, there are options for everyone, and the place is really clean. I was extremely impressed with how often they turn and change out the food. It is constantly, and there is even a little Asian lady that speaks into a walkie talkie to let the kitchen know what they are running low on and what they need to change out. In the entrance there is a little pond full of coy fish and you can buy packets of food to feed them so my 4 yr old loved that part. The service is not personal at all, but I wouldn't really expect much at a buffet anyway. They refill your drinks and remove dirty plates and that's about all. Definitely an experience that everyone should try.

We drive a half hour to go here on a regular basis. Fantastic. My only complaint (and kind of a whiny one, admittedly) - is that they won't fry rice for you at the buffet hibachi station for some reason.. lo mein only.
(5)Diana N.
Good food, I go here mainly for the seafood as it's the cheapest and decent crawfish and raw oyster you can find. Also the best sushi bar I've seen at a buffet. Nice decor. Loses a star because price is a bit expensive (14.99). I agree with the other review that said they should charge $8 and then allow crab legs to be an extra $5 option. The crab legs available at dinner are of ok quality, not the best I've seen at a buffet
(4)Justin B.
What is this I don't even...? I've done both the buffet and the hibachi, and both are alright. But, the price of the buffet is pretty comical given the quality of the food: the dishes are pale imitations of their Chinese inspirations, which isn't the end of the world so long as you're not paying 2.5x as much for the same food you can get from the local greasy wok. I'd give three stars, but value for price just isn't there.
(2)Heather B.
I am always wary of Asian buffets, but Amber rocked. It was lit up like a nightclub with high-powered tunes pumping through their speakers. My toddler especially enjoyed the koi pond inside. The food was delicious. I didn't get a chance to try the sushi bar but it looked delectable.

Finally made it back here yesterday. Just as stated in our previous review, everything is excellent. We cant see how people can compare this place to other Buffets, this is totally different and a wonderful experience. There are sooo many items you dont find at other buffets and they're sushi is far superior to any other sushi we've experienced at a buffet. We arrived a little before 4pm and got to see the lunch items just before they swithched over to the dinner. I dont think we would do lunch, so for you penny pinchers that are looking for a bargain, you get what you pay for, so lower ratings will be expected. $20.38 each after drinks and all total. I can eat more sushi alone for the cost and thats not even counting the oysters, shrimp, calamari, crab and alot of asian cuisine we dont see at other buffets. Worth every penny.. This time we took some pictures. Go for dinner, we dont think you'll be dissapointed....
(4)Chris H.
This is an outstanding example of a "Asian buffet". Decent sushi, but even better entree selections on the buffet itself. The General Tso Chicken isn't mushy like at other buffets. Tempora shrimp are very tasty too. The fried rice varieties are all good and are unique. Service is quick. A little pricier than other buffets, but you pay for what you get! (in a good way)
(4)April T.
If you're in the area Ambers is a must stop. Great (and large) buffet, not bad Sushi. Beautiful decor and decent prices. Service not friendly, not rude, just efficient. Try the pineapple chicken, stuffed mushrooms and Amber's fried rice.
(4)Brandon D.
I read all of the reviews here on yelp.com and I agree with most of the things said. However, I thought the food was great and the selection was outstanding. From sushi to all the regular chinese favorites, theres something for everyone, as well as a lot of things that you dont see at a normal chinese buffet. The decor was upbeat and lively, and had some awesome lighting that kept the large area bright and full of color. One big plus for me was the fact that they have smaller, oval plates for all of the hot foods so that they keep rotating freshly made items in for the older ones, and one person designated to radio back to the kitchen for things they are low on/need immediately. Overall experience was great, and yea, you do pay a little more than most buffets, but its worth it. (~32.00 for two people).
(4)Paul B.
Really big selection of buffet items! Good food and service! The buffet with a drink will run around $9 for lunch...
(4)Bonnie V.
Beautiful ambiance. Great selection of dishes. Delicious food. The lunch buffet is quite the bargain. I've been there almost 10 times and plan on coming back.
(5)Kimberly C.
Good food but very upset when I was contacted by the CC company after our visit. They told me the waiter had stole our number and charged $50 in Itunes to our card. I'm not sure if I will return.

If you're looking for ultimate buffet experience of your life, you must check this place out. I have dined there 3 times now for lunch and dinner and each visit has shown the same consistency with their quality of food and service. They have about 7 sushi trays, but nothing too fancy. Many of them are loaded with cream cheese. They also have around 30+ buffet options, all very fresh and tasty both Asian and some American. There's tons of fresh fruit, ice cream, and dessert including cheese cake and small torts. Their space is beautiful, clean, the best buffet experience you will most likely have in your entire life. I'm very surprised they are not busier, even during dinner service. It might be the price- the lunch buffet is reasonable around $10-13, the dinner buffet is steep around $15-17 because they serve every kind of shrimp/clam/crab/younameit during dinner. It's only worth it if you're all about the sea food. They sometimes advertise coupons in the monthly magazine/mailers sent to your home!
