cafe east 3

The buffet is shockingly limited. The food was clearly old you could tell it had been sitting out far too long. Vegetable options? Practically nonexistent. But here's what truly horrified me: the dessert had mold growing on top of it. When we informed management, do you know what they did? They sent the waitstaff to scrape off the mold instead of throwing the entire dessert away. Let that sink in. They thought removing visible mold made it acceptable to serve. If the dessert had mold, what else is being kept at improper temperatures? What else is out of date or spoiled? This isn't just poor quality this is a serious health hazard. We trusted this establishment with our safety, and they failed us completely. No one should have to wonder if their meal will make them sick. This is unacceptable.

I disagree with the previous reviews about this place. It’s a buffet and that says it’s going to be a steam bar system. The food we had today was hot and tasted fresh. Everything was clean and we were greeted with a friendly staff member that sat us quickly and with a smile. I would recommend. New Year’s Day 2026.

It was our first time there, and it was a disaster. The service was good, but the food—to my taste—was bad. The shrimp (served with heads on) were incredibly tough; I picked up a rib, and it was raw. To be honest, the only thing I could actually eat was the fruit. I thought maybe I was exaggerating, but no—we all had the same look on our faces, as if to say, "What *is* this?" None of us said anything at the time, but at least I can leave my feedback here. I simply wasted my time and money—for three adults and two children. Oh, and the meat was extremely tough—there was no way I could give any of it to my young daughters. The ice cream, though—that was actually very good. 👍

This place is pretty awesome. Most of the time when my boyfriend and I eat out after a plasma donation in Houston we go to this place. The food is usually really good and they have a variety from sushi, soups, salad, fruit, the normal things you see in Chinese restaurants, American food, seafood (even crawfish), and just everything lol. They do switch things out so that the same things don’t just sit out the whole time getting nasty. Their service is amazing too. They keep your drinks refilled, give you chopsticks if you want to eat with them (we usually do), and we are even now remembered after a few times. Last time we went, the server knew our drink orders (I changed mine this time) and she knew when we would be ready to go and even had our to-go drinks before we asked for them. We ask every time. lol. This place is amazing all around.

The food at this buffet was great, but the service was not good. Our server forgot to refill our waters soooo many times. Worst part was when we didn’t know you had to pay for the to go boxes, and our server snatched it out of our hands. She could’ve told us we had to pay and we willingly would’ve. Wish I could’ve taken my tip back lol. Would definitely go back but make sure we don’t have the same girl. Front service hostess was great though!
