The items are tasty. I really like the sushi, soup, and appetizers. The place is old though and could use some badly needed remodeling and updating. The staff is okay but not overly friendly. If you like a Chinese Buffet for a good price this is the place.

After reading the reviews here I thought I'd roll the dice and give Jumbo a shot. I enjoyed the buffet as it was slightly better than average. The place was very busy and the food was always hot and fresh. Large variety including sushi. Service was awesome. I give this place 3 out of 5 forks. Check em out!

This place is kind of sketchy even for a chinese buffet. Very drab and usually pretty dirty. Even if it was cleaned i think the cook station behind the register would still look horrid. Food is pretty bland and the table service is hit or miss. I don't trust the sushi that hangs out all day. Look for your chinese... More

It is a chinese buffet, good food for a good price. I love their bourbon chicken. The sushi is pretty substandard, and they never have crab legs which is a huge disappointment. The decor is very outdated as well, but you will leave very full, and quite satisfied.

The Chinese have running a buffet down to a science. One rarely stands out from the crowd. Although slightly more expensive than the average, the food is a cut above the others.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try something different for our Anniversary dinner. It was my first time coming here, and he was there for the last time about 8 years ago. It was very relaxing in there, and looked clean. The thing that bothered me most is how it wasn't very fresh! The lo mein noodles were very gummy... More

I've been to Jumbo Buffet a few times over the past years, the most recently being this past weekend (after not having been for the better part of a year). The atmosphere is that flashy Chinese-New-Year type often found at Asian mega-buffets; lots of red, gold and green everywhere. The service has improved somewhat this last visit; the server seemed...

ok, i know this one gets me a lot of flack, but if you want a plate full of sushi at a buffet price, this is your place. the staff are friendly, the service (keeping your drink refilled) is good, the sushi is quite acceptable, and you cannot beat the price. i love it. you'll probably see me there today!

This place had real bad problems a year of so ago. Now its back in top shape. I like it because I like sushi and the rest of my family does not. They have a sushi chef making fresh suhi for the buffett all day long. There is a very good variety and quality of sushi. The chinese buffett part... More
