1. Ivar's Acres of Clams
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 624-6852
Categories:
Seafood,
Bars,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
My favorite brunch and one of my favorite buffets of all time!
My parents took me here for my 11th birthday uh...many years ago. Their dinner is solid, but let's talk about brunch!
On my...20-something birthday, I found out about the brunch. I told…More »
2. The Buffet At Bellagio
The trick to Vegas buffets is to go mid-day and make it your only major meal for the day. (Eat something small around noon.)
At $20 for lunch, the Bellagio buffet is a steal. Much more reasonable than the Wynn's $40.
I ate:
-Pesto mashed potatoes

3. Ivar's Salmon House
Seattle, WA 98105
(206) 632-0767
Categories:
Seafood,
Lounges,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Wallingford
This is one of my favorite brunch spots! It's not cheap at $25 per person but I like to go every now and then.
With that said, I do think Ivar's Salmon House is a little inferior to Acres of Clams (Acres of Clams has better salmon and these items…More »
4. The Buffet At Wynn Las Vegas
The Wynn buffet is prettyyy good, but its also $40 for lunch.
First you walk in and the place is beautiful. Just like the rest of the Wynn. I love the light in the first room but I'm glad we sat further back closer to the food. haha.
If you're…More »
5. Ebei Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6M

Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Shaughnessy, Oakridge
Lunch buffet here is something like $12! And boy, did we eat our hearts out.
The service is fast but not quite as irritatingly fast as Richmond Sushi, which I appreciated. It was pretty quiet because we came at a strange time, so service was ok.…More »
6. Carnival World Buffet
So I was told the Rio had the best buffet in Vegas. I think they were referring to the seafood one, not this one. Ooops. Oh well. This one was good too.
My friend said she didn't want to spend more than $20 on a buffet. This one was something…More »
7. Falls Buffet
3.5 stars- 3 stars for the visit I'm writing of and 4 for last time.
I came back here last week for the Friday night seafood buffet and it...wasn't that great.
Looking back at this review, I already said the basa was horrible last time so I don't know…More »

3 stars only? Sad day.
I came here for the snow crab legs and sushi buffet (Mondays). The wait… Read more »
8. Ipanema Grill - CLOSED
I went here for my friend's birthday party. Seeing that I don't eat meat, this was definetely not my choice.
My friend and I were early and they wouldn't seat us so we headed to the bar. The bartender was nice and helpful and explained the drinks to…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown
This was such a fun lunch hour! My friend (Matt N.) and I went today for lunch- not only was it fun, this is a crazy good deal with a passport card! The passport card covered any two hibachi lunch entrees for $18.
My friend had the beef and…More »

10. Araya's Place
Seattle, WA 98105
(206) 524-4332
I really like vegetarian thai food and this place does not disappoint. It was definitely a good lunch spot back when I was a college student. They have good all you can eat soup, phad Thai and rice pudding for a great price!
11. Mandarin Buffet & Grill
3.5 stars
I judge my Yelp reviews off of similar businesses. Buffets against buffets. Fine dining against fine dining. Vegas clubs against Vegas clubs. For a buffet in the Seattle area, Mandarin buffet is not bad. It doesn't rock my socks like…More »
12. Richmond Sushi
Richmond, BC V6X 4A7

Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
I came back here for lunch and the food was terrible. It was completely uninspired and not fresh. I get it, its lunch, but there was a lot less to choose from and it was all just not good.
E-Bei's lunch is way better.

Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Buffets,

Neighbourhood: Northgate
I love sushi and this is why I go to sushi buffets. The sushi is never going to be as good as a regular sushi restaurant especially because they leave it out to sit.
The freshness here is decent and the selection isn't bad. It's typical buffet fare of…More »

I come here with my parents sometimes. There is always a huge line almost out the door on the weekends.
The food isn't great, but look, its cheap and sometimes you want good, old-fashioned comfort food for really really cheap. Ok, scratch the…More »

Categories:

There's a good selection here and it's fun, but the food is just ok. Falls Buffet at Snoqualmie Casino is def. better.
16. 168 Sushi Japan Buffet
One of my favorite things to do when I come back to Toronto is hit up the AYCE sushi buffets! They don't have places like this in Seattle and this is way better than the ones I go to in Vancouver.
The sashimi was all pretty fresh- salmon, white tuna,…More »

I Heart Asian Food! (66)Asian food I enjoy in the Seattle and Vancouver area plus one in New York. (More variety and cities coming!) |
Pho! (12)I don't know why anyone would spend $5 on a meal from McDonald's when they could have pho (unless you're eating in the car)! It's an amazing hangover food, perfect on a warm day, quick and as I said before, cheap! I always get veggie broth so this is more a list for those who are looking for vegetarian and seafood pho. |
Wining, Dining and Adventuring on a Deal! (35)Groupon, Living Social, Amazon Local, Restaurant Week, Dine Around Seattle...ah I love me a good deal! This list is places I've been to around the Seattle area on these deals. I know some restauranteurs and critics say we wouldn't return to these places-- some of them I would (and have), some of them I wouldn't. Here's the dish (no pun intended!): |
Good Date Spots (83)Take your significant other/date to these romantic spots! I made a point to include places besides restaurants to keep your dating life interesting and fun! :) (Seattle, San Juan Islands, London, Portland and Las Vegas.) |

It's 5:00 somewhere! (31)My favorite happy hours in the Seattle area |
Show Your Out-of-Town friends Seattle! (35)Fun spots to take Seattle-area visitors to! |
Sea My Food! (37)I became a pescatarian (instead of vegetarian) because I loved sushi too much. Now I love all seafood! Good seafood restaurants (or regular restaurants with good seafood options) in the Seattle, Vancouver, Portland Las Vegas, London and New York area! |
Downtown on the Weekdays/Workdays (48)Breakfast, lunch, happy hour- activities and spots around/near my workday |
