Blossom Buffet – Great Selection, Good Food, but Bring a Real Fork! ⭐ We Stayed There Rating: 4.2 out of 5 Stars 📍 2515 Sunset Blvd, West Columbia, SC 29169 If you're looking for a buffet with plenty of variety, Blossom Buffet is definitely worth checking out! One of the biggest highlights of this place is the huge selection of food. They've got everything from your typical Chinese buffet favorites like honey chicken, General Tso's chicken, and egg rolls to steak, a hibachi grill, and even a sushi bar. There's definitely no shortage of options, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding something you like. During my visit, the food appeared fresh, was served hot, and everything I tried was enjoyable. The staff was friendly, and the overall dining experience was pleasant. As far as pricing goes, I paid around $24 before tip. Considering the amount of food available, including the hibachi and sushi options, I'd say that's about average for this type of buffet...

Chinese Express Buffet review – Summerville, SC

  Chinese Express – Summerville, SC (Lowcountry) 2008 Old Trolley Rd Summerville, SC 29485 ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 3.9/5 Stars If you're looking for a quick Chinese buffet in the Summerville, South Carolina Lowcountry , Chinese Express lives up to its name. This isn't the place to visit if you're expecting a huge buffet with endless choices, but if you're short on time and want a satisfying meal, it's definitely worth considering. The staff stood out immediately. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure guests were taken care of throughout the meal. Service was one of the strongest parts of the experience. The surprise star of the buffet was the General Tso's Chicken . It looked different from the traditional version you'll find at most Chinese buffets, but don't let that fool you—it was one of the tastiest dishes we tried and easily the highlight of the meal. Pricing was right in line with what you'd expect from a typical Chinese buffet, averaging $15–20 per p...

Grand Buffet Chinese food | North Charleston, Sc 4950 Centre Pointe Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418 Grand Buffet – North Charleston, SC (3.8 ⭐ out of 5) If you’re in the mood for the classic American-style Chinese buffet experience — where the steam trays stretch longer than your willpower — Grand Buffet in North Charleston delivers a solid, dependable meal that hits the spot. Walking in, you’re greeted by a pretty typical buffet setup: rows of familiar favorites like lo mein, fried rice, General Tso’s chicken, and enough crispy egg rolls to feed a small army.

Nothing sad or dried out sitting under the heat lamps here — the staff kept the trays filled in a timely manner. The food itself was good, with a wide selection that covers the usual Chinese buffet classics. If you’re the kind of person who likes to build a plate that looks like a delicious game of culinary T...

China Town Review | Summerville, Sc

China Town Review | Summerville, Sc 1206 N Main St Summerville, Sc 29483 🍜 China Town Chinese Buffet – Summerville, SC ⭐ 3.5 out of 5 stars Walking into China Town, the first impression was solid. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself was clean with inviting décor. No sticky floors, no mystery smells—points awarded there. Now… let’s talk buffet reality. The food selection was noticeably smaller than what you’d expect from a Chinese buffet. Missing staples like General Tso’s Chicken and coconut shrimp is borderline buffet blasphemy. I mean… who does that? Those are like the founding fathers of Chinese buffet culture. As for the food that was available—everything was cooked to absolute extinction. Any bacteria that ever thought about existing didn’t stand a chance. I grabbed two pieces of fish that were so overcooked I wasn’t sure whether to eat them or use them as a door stop. I chose neither. Then there’s the pricing. For the selection offered, it felt o...

Arts bar and grill review | My Pleasant, South Carolina

Arts bar and grill review | My Pleasant, South Carolina 413 Coleman Blvd, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 ⭐ 2.8 out of 5 Stars — Arts Bar & Grill (Mt. Pleasant, SC) ⭐ Arts Bar & Grill definitely brought the vibes—I’ll give them that. The atmosphere was lively, upbeat, and felt like a place where good times should happen. Bonus points for actually being open when some places mysteriously aren’t these days. The sandwich I ordered was solid, and the menu had a decent variety of bar food options, salads, and comfort-style eats. Now… let’s talk about the experience. 😬 I ordered a grilled chicken salad… and it showed up with no chicken. Not a little chicken—zero chicken. It was basically a motivational salad. The wait time was also surprisingly long, especially considering the restaurant wasn’t busy. I had enough time to question my life choices. When the salad finally arrived (still chickenless), the dressing was so thick and sweet it felt more like pancake syrup than salad dressing. And unf...

Sunsets waterfront dining review | Mt Pleasant, South Carolina

Sunsets waterfront dining review | Mt Pleasant, South Carolina  97 Ronnie Boals Blvd, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 Sunsets Waterfront Dining – ⭐ 3.9/5 Stars Sunsets Waterfront Dining in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina is one of those places that looks like a vacation before you even sit down. Coastal vibes? Check. Waterfront views? Check. A menu that makes you say, “Yeah, I’ll have that”? Also check. Let’s start with the wins. The staff is friendly, which always sets the tone right. My grilled chicken Caesar salad had chicken that was seasoned so well it deserved its own fan club. And the mac and cheese? Absolute top-tier comfort food—creamy, rich, and dangerously addictive. The decor is modern, coastal, and Instagram-ready, and the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. Price-wise, it’s pretty reasonable for the area at about $20 per person. Now… the not-so-sunny side of Sunsets. My salad was so overdressed I thought the lettuce was about to float away like it was auditioning for ...

Agaves Cantina Mexican cuisine | Mt. Pleasant, Sc 320 W Coleman Blvd unit p, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 Agaves Cantina – Mt. Pleasant, SC ⭐ 3.9 out of 5 stars Agaves Cantina is one of those spots that immediately feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly, seating was quick, and the overall vibe makes it an easy choice when you’re hungry and don’t want to wait around. The menu offers a solid selection of classic Mexican-style dishes, and the atmosphere has that upbeat, casual energy that works well for lunch or an easy dinner stop. Now, here’s where things got a little interesting. I went the healthier route and ordered a salad—which, let’s be honest, isn’t exactly what Mexican restaurants are known for. While they did offer a few good dressing options, the salad itself felt more like fajita meat and peppers tossed onto a bed of lettuce. Tasty? Yes. A little strange and not quite what I was expecting? Also yes. Points were definitely lost there. The chips and salsa were a...

Hong Kong buffet review | Orangeburg, Sc

Hong Kong buffet review | Orangeburg, Sc 2034 Columbia Rd, Orangeburg, SC 29118 ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 3.4 out of 5 Stars Hong Kong Buffet – Orangeburg, SC From an influencer standpoint, Hong Kong Buffet delivers exactly what you expect from a small-town Chinese buffet — and honestly, that’s not always a bad thing. The good: Seating was quick, which is always a win when buffet hunger kicks in. No long waits, no awkward standing by the door wondering if someone forgot you. The buffet line was easy to access and stocked with all the usual crowd-pleasers: General Tso’s chicken, honey chicken, coconut shrimp, and the familiar lineup you see at most Chinese buffets. Nothing exotic, but nothing missing either. Staff interaction was fine — not overly warm, not rude — just there to keep things moving. The not-so-good: This place is definitely showing its age. Seating and tables feel seriously dated, and the lighting is very dim — borderline “romantic dinner” lighting, which isn’t exactly what you expect when s...

Dog & Duck food and spirits review | Moncks Corner, Sc 2826 US-52, Moncks Corner, SC 29461 ⭐⭐⭐✨☆ (3.8/5) If you’re cruising through Moncks Corner and craving a bite that won’t annihilate your wallet, Dog & Duck Food & Spirits might just be your next pit stop. Think of it as that friend who’s not perfect, but fun enough that you keep inviting them anyway. Let’s start with the good stuff—because there’s actually plenty of it. Service? Lightning fast. I’ve waited longer for my phone to connect to Wi-Fi. Staff? Friendly enough to make you wonder if Southern hospitality is secretly a superpower. Price point? About $15 a head, which in 2025 basically qualifies as a steal. Location? Convenient, especially if you’re already in Moncks Corner debating where to eat. Food? Tasty, with enough flavor to earn a few happy nods at the table. Atmosphere? Bright, so at least you can clearly see what you’re eating—and who you’re talking to. Now, let’s talk about the chicken salad. I ordered it...
