Customer Reviews

This place is consistent. I love the hibachi. You can get fried rice off the buffet and add it to your hibachi bowl if you prefer more flavorful rice, like me. Also the green beans are so yummy. I like to dip the fried potatoes in the spicy mustard found in the salad bar. It is a treat going because there are cheaper options. But I appreciate getting to choose my own fresh ingredients, including sauces and seasoning that goes on my food. I would give a 10/10 for buffets. You can trust my advice on anything to do with food, nature, health; these are my passions.

Food is some of the better buffet food I have had. Some sushi but mostly California type rolls. Soups are good. Staff helpful and friendly. The fresh cooked plates are the best. Added updated pricing 8/2025

I've heard good things about this buffet and wanted to try it. It's been a long time since I've gone into a buffet and got excited. I had no clue they had a Mongolian BBQ. I picked out my ingredients and, while they prepared it, made a sampler plate of things off the buffet. Everything was delicious, and there were loads of options to choose from. The staff I encountered was so lovely, and our server was so attentive, making sure plates were cleared, and drinks never ran out. We will be back.

Fantastic Mongolian seafood buffet in Pelham! I've been four times now with co-workers and family and had an excellent experience each time. Lunch is $11.50 and drinks are $2.50. Dinner is $15.50 (the dinner buffet also had a few more selections than lunch crab claws being one of which), kids 3-6 are $5 and 7-11 are $8. Under 3 are free. My favorite part of the buffet is the Mongolian hibachi bowls. You can go fix a plate of ready to cook foods that have been prepared (ex. Lo Mein noodles, broccoli, onions and green peppers, pineapple, then choice your proteins; imitation crab meat, chicken, beef, shrimp. Then you select which sauce you'd like them to top it with after they have cooked it (I like bourbon and teriyaki )even some powder if you'd like Cajun seasoning is great. Then they have some oils and yummy sauce as well as Salt and pepper. You give them the plate they give you a number and they take the same number and cook it up fresh for you then you come back up in 5 min or so and grab your delicious bowl of hibachi!
