Prices are somewhat higher than most Chinese restaurants but the food is worth it. Great variety of dishes, including soups and salad. Desserts are standard. Service is very good and staff is friendly. Clean bathrooms. I have always said, a clean bathroom means a clean kitchen!

Its your usual Chinese buffet as far as assortment goes although they do surprise with things like pizza and stuffed clams. They have a hibachi set up where you can bring your raw foods and watch them being cooked. The overall quality of the food is better than you would expect and the service is first rate. If possible you... More

We visited Lucky Buffet for take out tonight and were pleasantly surprised with our first experience there. The hostess was very nice and our order was ready quickly. The Generals Taos had some nice kick to it and the rest of dinner was very good. Price was good. It looked like a busy evening by the cars in the lot,... More

This buffet is fairly good size with all the major Chinese dishes represented. Potstickers are not always easy to find but they are available here and they are pretty good. The quality of the food is slightly above average but for the price it's a pretty good deal.

Great service, fresh hot food although a bit crowded at times - Why wouldn't they be? They are now the best Chinese place in town.

Had a late lunch yesterday at the new Lucky Buffet, housed in the old train station building on Lake Street. Beautiful renovation inside with lots of nice wood, comfortable booths and table and space!! But the key attraction was two full buffet tables of hot food plus a table of desserts and a table of appetizers, fruit, salad, etc. And... More

This is definitely the best asian buffet in the county. Lucky buffet has many choices and is very clean. the fried dough balls are AMAZING (they always are, but these are even better!) and there are many foods that aisan buffets don't normally have like the pineapple chicken. If you are looking for a chinese buffet in franklin county, I... More

Standard buffet fare but clean and plentiful. The service was quick and the plates were removed as soon as we finished them.

Unlike the vitriolic review of "alicnwunderland", who is clearly a negatively impacted competitor of the Lucky Buffet, I was delighted with the variety of the delicious and fresh food. The hibachi, which in other restaurants is an additional charge, is included in the price of the dinner meal. The Chef is masterful in his preparation of the meals and the... More
