The Chinese buffet and sushi restaurant in Jacksonville may seem like just another option in a sea of similar establishments, but it still offers some unique perks like a free buffet on your birthday.

The atmosphere may be a bit eclectic, with quirky decor and background noise of other diners, but the pricing remains reasonable for the amount and quality of food offered.

Was Melissa Bowman at East Buffet a mag?
Food tasted fresh and had lots of varieties. Can you play like any kind of music in the background tho? The atmosphere was super weird and sounds of just chewing . View all feedback.

What Tim Meuter dislikes about East Buffet:
I feel like Chinese buffets and sushi places are popping up all over Jacksonville. This doesn't seem that much different to me than any other place. You do receive a free buffet on your birthday. I think you do have to purchase a buffet though so it's like buy one get one free. The food is only average with not a lot of flavor so if your going to eat here, I recommend lunch when the price is only $5.99 for lunch for... View all feedback.

The city’s best low-end authentic Chinese-style buffet restaurant lets you know from the start how important integrity and reputation are held for restaurants in this sector throughout Jacksonville. This restaurant has people coming from all the surrounding counties of Duval.Fear not as you’re led to the back dining room, its main entrance greeting you with an array of fish in a beautiful 120. gal aquarium. You get the same welcoming feel as you’re led to your table and served with delicious Jacksonville-style sweet tea before your exciting food adventure starts.The best part of this adventure is the lack of normal rules when eating in an order-style restaurant. If you want to start your meal with a delicious selection of Ice creams, Jello’s, and Cakes, followed by a plate of freshly steamed Crawfish and pan-fried, or, steamed shrimp then you’re at the right place. For items like lobster or fresh oysters, you need to be prepared to race for your life as they are served at the buffet counter, maybe stare down in judgment at the person filling their plate with the best parts selfishly or get closer to them until they get uncomfortable and the guilt of their desperate need for all you can eat lobster tails without consequence emerges momentarily.The authentic Chinese-style buffet restaurant’s ambiance is on par with other places in this tier, decorative buckets line the great hallway that leads you to the bathrooms, a great place to freshen up or down. Meanwhile, the authentic sushi and teppanyaki bars provide great choices of buffet-style sushi rolls and an assortment of freshly cooked meats and seafood.Personally, my favorite quirks about the restaurant would be when there are actual lobster pieces in the buffet serving tray with decent amounts of meat in them, and, when the sinks in the bathrooms aren't clogged and draining at a snail's pace.Signature dishes: Weekend Lobster, Crawfish, Rangoons, Ice cream, and Dessert.Basic cost: Around $19 per person.Nits: Sometimes expect to wait a good amount of time before an empty dish is replenished at the buffet counter.Change due to the pandemic: None? This is Jacksonville.Best for: Eating large amounts of food without getting sick. Casual or Ironic dining.

It's right in the middle . Had Sunday lunch but it was like they were on 3:00 Thursday menu. parking lot needs help need to open all steam tables and come with a sushi menu not what they got . What I did get was ok though for the price had I had to step out the box of favorites I look forward to . I should have offered fix bathroom sinks for coupon lol
