    If you are aware of eating healthy when eating out, this place is an excellent place to consider. It provides a good source of protein. It has shrimp, fish, and many chicken dishes such as stir-fried, deep-fried, and chicken wings. It has many vegetables, rice, noodles, and bread for cabs. Water or hot tea is up to you. The servers were friendly. Usually, we went for a heavy lunch followed by a light dinner at home. Not too crowded, and more importantly, the price is right!

    I think this is my second review for this restaurant worth to give 5 start rating. Highly recommend if you are looking for a buffet with tasty Chinese foods. Plenty seating and parkings are available. Amazing price for what you get!

    In my life, there has been two kinds of restaurants: restaurants that charge more than their food is worth and restaurants that charge just about what their food is worth, the former being much more common. Tin Tin Buffet established a category in it's own right by becoming the first restaurant where I would be happy to pay *more* than they charge. Going in, I was expecting sloppy food with minimal variety given the price--$8 for all you can eat--but from the moment I opened the door I was met with a symphony of smells followed by a shocking amount of food: there were 8 whole rows of food, more than even most fancy restaurants provide! The quality of the food was also much better than expected. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty meal for a reasonable price!

    For the price, the food available cpuld not be beat. There was some western options, lots of great East Asian options, a surprising amount of dessert options, and it all tasted superb. The General Tso's chicken was especially good. The service was exceptional too. The waitress took our plates as we finished and often asked if we wanted water refills. This place deserves a higher rating!

    They already know me hehe which makes it really good and funny. The FOOD IS SICK like the best I’ve tried. Ofc it can get a little cold but they will put fresh food out. I come a lot with my dad so they tell me “oh you grow so fast” it’s funny, they are really kind. Everyone it’s so nice and it’s actually a pretty good cost . I really love it so I recommend it to everyone to come and enjoy

    So grateful that decent buffets still exist. I love the chicken and broccoli, cabbage, Bok choy, and fresh fruits and veggies!! There is a ramp for access, but you do have to go up a very steep hill to get there if you need it. Otherwise there are stairs. They have self-serve Chinese tea too which is so tasty!! I really like this place
