- The food in New York City gets better and better. This time, I'm visiting the Chinatown area in New York and thanks to all the suggestion from everyone to visit the Chinatown in Flushing, Queens. While the Chinatown in Manhattan was quite the sight, the places in Flushing, Queens were outstanding.
I got a chance to visit a buffet in the Flushing, Queens area... Great price, great seafood, and more importantly great people... Oh yes, and the unlimited Peking Duck was quite impressive as well.

That's the best selection from a chinese buffet I've ever seen 🤤😍 that Peking duck portion was amazing!
Thanks Tim for visiting one of my favourite places in Flushing. Glad that you enjoyed your meal as you can never go wrong with oxtail stew! I’m so impressed how you’re able to maintain your appetite to take advantage of all these great eats. Cheers!
This was a great area! I wish I had more time to spend in Flushing but again, always never enough time 😃
This is in College Point.
OMG that buffet looked fantastic! That's crazy that such a great restaurant would be located in such a nondescript area. That's so good that you had this place suggested by your viewers. All the best Tim during the Christmas season and looking forward to more of your vids in the New Year :)
A very Merry Christmas to you both! Just having dinner here and enjoying Castle Loma! I was regretting not getting a chance to visit the castle but glad to be able to do it virtually and at such a nice time!
@@TimLeeLetsGo Yes, the timing was perfect with the snow falling all around and the beautiful Christmas decorations.
New York is made up of many neighborhoods. Flushing is primarily a
Korean neighborhood. That is why they serve the wonderful Korean food.
Nondescript location? You are a fool. This is is Flushing! The American capital of Chinese! Jeez. Do some homework
Tim, new subscriber from Australia! I Am thoroughly enjoying binge watching your videos. Love your content but more so, love that you are such a gentleman and kind soul to all that you interact with! Please keep up the great videos 😬
Wow, Tim that was great. I love your explanation of every food item you eat. It was very educational. I love Asian dramas and they always talk about different certain foods. You want to try them yourself. Thanks Tim. I really enjoy all your videos.
Thank you for your very kind comment Elizabeth 😃... Sometimes I don't know what I'm saying while on the video 🤦🏻♂️😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo $50/person buffet how much can you eat I paid $22 here in Florida state USA 🇺🇸 and I can't eat much only 2 plates and now I got gout in my ankles because seafood shrimps pain hurt attacked me at night 😫 😢 don't like frog legs no flavor Cambodian Recipes cooked seasoning lemongrass with frogs lol
A true foodie who knows the food well! Very detailed explanation. Good job
I just discovered your channel and am enjoying it very much. Thank you for posting
Hi Tim, you found a gem this time 👍...I almost died when you mentioned me 2x in your video 🤗...I was so honored you remembered what I like to ear...now this buffet is worth $50...they had so many other different selections then your normal chinese buffets...was shocked to see a lot of items I would normally eat in a regular chinese restaurant...the dim sum ( chicken feet, etc ), the raw clams, peking duck, snails ( my fav before the clams w/ black bean sauce 🤣), sashimi looked appetizing as well, I loved the steak and scallops...I would of gotten 😤 too if he threw away the fat away 🤣🤣🤣...love my steak w/ some fat on it ( rib eye ) is my fav cut...thanks again for mentioning me in your video...I'm still in shock 😲...worth every penny 👍...glad you enjoyed yourself...be safe happy healthy and always blessed...safe travels going home 😘🤗💙
Hi Jade, it was quite interesting because from the outside, it looks like an industrial area with not too many people. But once you go inside, it was quite a nice large buffet and lots of food. LoL, when I first saw the clams and black bean sauce, I immediately thought of you. And they were pretty good too! Just too many dishes to sample. And very Merry Christmas to you
Thank you Tim. My husband and I went to the buffet at lunchtime..No Peking duck or quail but most everything else was present and wonderful. The abalone was never refilled so I didn't get to try it
New subscriber here! I just had to say you are awesome. You’re so polite and kind to everyone, you go out of your way to thank staff for the food and service, you seem like a genuinely good guy. You’re life must be filled with friends - I know I’d want to hang out and buffet hop with you! Keep up the great videos!
I’m new also and that’s the exact reason I recently subscribed… he’s so gracious!! Love that!!! Bill and Lisa are the same♥️These people are how we’re supposed be !!!😘☮️♥️‼️
Absolutely agree with you, his friendliness and politeness is a big factor in why I subscribed to him! He has the potential to grow his channel and have his name known like Mikey Chen for example and others in my opinion.
That's called being annoying and overly helpful
@@Abhinav123able and you’re called a ‘downer’… I guess in this day and age ones like you are the norm…
@@Abhinav123able and this behavior is called rude and unnecessary. If you don’t like something you could just scroll past instead of writing something mean.
So glad you are making them longer I watch everyone that you do you are so polite to everyone
Hi Bonnie, much appreciate your suggestions and feedback.. feels like it's getting too long but always tweaking...😉
Excellent food vlogger. Thank you Tim.
Fascinating buffet Tim! New York looks so delicious 😋! ❤️
Thank you mcwalker ... Was pleasantly surprised once inside the restaurant... The inside is much nicer than the outside 🙂
For about $50 I think is a good deal! Is in my bucket list! Great job!!!👍👍👍
This place looks amazing I have to go try it now, thank you
❤🎉Thankyou so very much again Tom
Your so kind. Blessings to you and your families ✝️ ❤
i love these vids i actually work like 10 min from that buffet and went to the grand opening very good food cant wait to go back "the buffet" is a two in one it has a hotel inside of it
Another great buffet video! I loved when you told the cook Tony “Keep the fat!!!” 🤣 It’s definitely where all of the good flavor is! Lol
Thanks Sharon. LoL, I think Tony was a bit surprised 😆
how did you know his name was Tony
@@sayajinmamuang Tim said his name in the video. He’s always so thoughtful that way.
That place looks amazing. Love your channel and how kind you are to other people.
Thanks for this review. Huge buffet. Looked really good. Thanks and take care.
In the Northeast from New York to Florida, is an excellent Asian Buffet chain known as the; " Flaming Grill Buffet". For around $20.00, you get Lobster, Crabs, Crayfish, Shrimp, Fish, Clams, Mussel, Oysters, Steaks, Salads, Desert. The Flaming Grill Buffet is overall the best most diverse Asain Buffet around at $20.00 per person.
Hi Tim. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for your videos. You do a great job. You seem very pleasant and well mannered. Cant wait for more. Keep up the great work 😀
Thank you for the very kind comment Teresa. A very merry Christmas to you and yours 🙂

Hi! Haven’t heard from you in a while and hope you’re keeping well. Thank you so much again for reaching out.
Dear Mr. Tim Thanks for bringoing your videos and memories. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
Wow! You know your foods! I like your kindness and respect you show others. I'm enjoying watching your videos!
Really grateful that everyone was so welcoming and very good sports
Hi Tim, I'm not sure if you remember me but I've been supporting you and your channel since the beginning. I always thought that you had the perfect voice and personality to make amazing videos. A lot has happened since I last commented on your videos. The main changes for me are that my Mum, who was my best friend passed away a year ago on Boxing Day 2020 so it's been a heartbreaking time for my family this year. My health is continually changing for the worst but I'm fighting to survive everyday especially because I'm the sole carer for my Dad. We are a good team together just like we were with Mum. I hope that you and your loved ones had an awesome Christmas especially since covid changed the world how we have adapted to the new normal. Take care and I hope that you are happy because you really are a special person to many as you are with me. Xx
Yeah...he doesn't remember you
@@randyschwaggins😂🎯💯
You sound like a very nice person. I hope everything is going well for you. Stay positive and God bless.
@rodolfoquiroz7819 Thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately, 13 months after Mum died, I found my Dad after he unexpectedly but peacefully passed away. It's been a few tough years in many ways. We always thought I'd be the first to pass because 14 years ago, my lifelong specialists gave me two years at the most to live, which was realistic considering my extensive health history. I'm positive and a fighter so I tend to look at the positives and there must be a reason why God hasn't called me home yet. I wish you and your loved ones all the best. God bless
I love your videos Tim. You are so well mannered
The gentleman is class personified!
Thank you for your very kind comment ... it was hard to restrain oneself 😉
I love your food tripping and buffet journey! Lucky you!!!😊👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Tim, your channel is my favourite! I love how polite and friendly you are, you give honest opinions and have genuine enthusiasm! I introduced my boyfriend to your channel and he loves it too! Every time I’m down or need to relax, I watch your videos- great mood booster, I’d recommend you to everyone. Hope you’re having a great day! :)
I was born and raised in flushing and still living there, I'm glad you had a great experience, flushing was never as popular as it is today we have so many tourist that come and visit flushing because we have alot of great Asian cuisine! Also fun fact : Flushing is known as "Little Chinatown" and the buffet he went to is located in College pt in Flushing I went there before its big and alot of selections to choose from
I'm from Brooklyn, NY. This place looks great. I'm going to try this place very soon. Flushing is incredible. My friends who are Spanish come here to eat every week & they love it.
I live in Brooklyn & have been coming to Flushing for over 50 years. It's incredible.
I am in Queens as well and I was wondering where this places is. He didn’t mention it. I have family coming in and they want to go to Chinatown in Queens.
@@lupechacon-florez7520 yeah I noticed he did not mention the address thats why I said it was in College pt., if you know where Flushing Main St is its the last stop on the 7 train and there you can find alot of great selections on Asian foods, like Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, malaysian etc.
How is the crime
Thanks for this great review! A lot of these types of buffets have closed here in Long Island or converted to hot pot buffets. Great to know about this one!
Oh, that's interesting they would convert to a hot pot setting.... Still sounds very good! 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo we used to go to a buffet in Bayside called Mizumi which converted from one like The Buffet to hot pots though they still have the sushi section. The other large buffet was in Westbury called Minado but it closed down early this year. Don’t get me wrong there are an abundance of buffets in Long Island but not many are the authentic Asian ones if you know what I mean 😀
Such an awesome buffet. I’ve not been here since COVID started. Looks like I’ll need to make a trip!
@@dslouie4944 Try DJ's international buffet in Garden City. Go for dinner, you can thank me later :)
DJs International Buffet in Garden City is still doing it up big!
I'm going this sun at 12 taking 2 people as a reward for helping me clean out my storage and I showed them your video. I'm a foodie in NYC and I go to Raos once a year
💚Looks good 😋 Thank you Tim!!👍🏽
Hi Tim 👋you came through with another great buffet 😍for a second I forgot that you live in Vancouver 😆 when I saw that sea bass I was like this buffet is legit ..that seafood selection 😍 all you can eat dim sum with boba tea . I would have been happy with just the first section but wow they threw in the Peking 🦆 🤤 I don't know if we can be friend after this when you skipped over the grilled 🦑 for the 🧅 ring 😆 I feel like a third of the buffet is dessert 🤤 I hope they don't have a time limit on this buffet 🤞 will definitely visit the next time I'm in NY.
Thanks David, I can certainly make the case for staying in New York... Really great restaurants everywhere you turn. Hope you get a chance to go! I think your family would love it! Also this is where Spider-Man resides so that's worth the trip alone 😉
Nice vlog Tim. New subscriber and that buffet looks awesome. We were in NY earlier this year, but missed this buffet. Sounds like another trip to the East Coast is on our list. Enjoy the holidays and thanks for the intel.
Thank you so much for reaching out Alan! That's always the case where there's not enough time to explore New York... It's always the case where another trip needs to be planned 😃
It looks like you're having fun. Love your videos in Vancouver. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you for all the good foods
For $50 that is definitely a great deal for a buffet, I have to admit that I personally would be into the crab, scallops and prawns/shrimp as seafoods are a weakness of mine.
The station also looked beautifully clean which is an absolute must when dealing with fresh foods, I would certainly dine there!
Thanks for putting this up and hopefully soon I'll be able to get to the USA and experience the place.
What a great deal for only 50 bucks
Wow, I think this is Mikey Chen's old NYC stomping ground. This place looks so smart and clean and the price us
super reasonable. The quality of the steak looked wonderful but the duck looked ever better. Perfect way to spend a chilly winter NYC evening. Thanks for sharing this one:) Blessings, James and Kim ❤
Hoping your holidays are getting better and better as we near Christmas! I can see why Mikey Chen has such a good pallet for great eats having resided in this area... Wishing you both a safe and happy Christmas 🙂
Except Mikey would actually eat all the Asian and spicy stuff.
I have been in NY my whole life ND never been here!
Is it good for Dim Sum?
Thanks Tim for another Super Delicious Buffett Video. Happy Holidays. 😊
A very happy holidays to you too Tom 🙂
Wow, all the food looks so yummy! I hope I can visit this place soon. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you get a chance to try... nice to find a buffet in NY 🙂
You scored 100% on this Buffet for me! I've been trying to locate this place for 6 months! Now, I can put it on my February 2022 NYC foodie tour! I was very impressed with the selection, cleanliness, service & price/ quality ratio! At about $50 for dinner, it far outweighs the Nordic buffet in RI @$125 or the Crab House Buffet in Manhattan @$105. The only items missing at The-Buffet in Flushing were lobsters & a wide selection of American-style desserts, SO WHAT🤔 Again, great stop you really persevered😁⭐👍
Hi Lawrence, it's sounding like you're all prepared for an epic trip😃. Much needed and hopefully things settle down by then. Thank you again so much for reaching out! This place was quite hard to find unfortunately... I don't think they could have made if anymore difficult to find if they tried😆
$50.00 is a good deal,but when you compare Nordic Buffet in RI,it's like day and night...it was over 25 years ago that i was at Nordic buffet and is still the best seafood buffet i have been to...i think the price was $40.00 for a two hour limit with free milk shakes..LOL...go figure..
It’s next to the college point in queens
They have garlic lobster a month ago when I was thier
@@sammiguo993 they have lobster?!?
This is going on my NY trip list ☺️ thanks for the cool tour Tim!
This is in College Point and not close to subway.
Good correction from the folks here.. yes this is college point area. I was just relying on Google maps, but this is not an easy place to find and a bit remote and industrial 😉. Hope you get to give it a try on your next visit 😃
Another great video.. you are such a calming personality.. God bless..
I was thrilled when I saw a new video out by you Tim. Please keep them coming! 👍
Thank you so much. Really enjoyed the visit 🙂
I've been at this buffet with my family a few times, it's amazing!!
Btw this is NOT Flushing....it's College Point!
Thanks what is address
Yeah I was going to mention the same…decent distance from flushing strip.
The Buffet looks good Tim! You are good at finding the place! I would have been so lost 😂😂
Thank you Bee, it was fun exploring the area🙂
THanks buddy-- great video
Thank you very much Tim...⛄🎄🎅🎁❄😘🤗💙
Thank you Jade 🙂
Tim, when did you go there? I go to this place almost every week, would have love to meet you. I love that the tip is included in the price. Love your videos!
Thank you Meldkmo, I was there a couple of weeks ago right before the news about the new variant.. a little disappointed that we cannot travel now, but grateful to have the chance to visit New york. You live in such an amazing city!
Hello what is the address of this place please? Thanks 😊
@@jedimyndtryck 20-07 127th St 4th floor, Queens, NY 11356
What is the address? I live in Flushing and want to go there
@@marefynn81 see above
What they call white tuna is not real tuna. It's a type of fish called escolar. It's an extremely oil fish that if you consume too much of will make you sick. They used to called it that in Ontario as well, but have since been removed from calling tuna because of people complaining of mislabelling fish. It's banned in Japan from consumption.
Why is it banned in Japan? Thanks. 🌺
Thank you for the heads up, and I have been meeting up on it.. I am very grateful I only had the one piece 😉😃
I just commented about this as well. Glad someone else said something! Cheers.
Hi Tim...amazing videos..love the dishes..
Love those soft serve ice cream machines, especially if they have banana pudding. Large bowl with pudding on the bottom and topped with vanilla ice cream...YUM!
Looks awesome Tim. I've had frog legs twice in Ottawa/Hull at two different Chinese restaurants. Both were served on skewers. I thought it was good. Tasted like chicken. I wonder if breading ruined it for you.
Yeah, I think it was just the seasoning or lack thereof. The coating was really nice and tasty but the meat was quite bland so I think it's probably just a matter of seasoning...
That area is outside of Flushing and is actually called College Point. Its in a strange hotel complex in a warehouse/borderline residential area. Definitely not ideal for tourists as it is waaaay out of the way. Aimed more at folk with cars. You may have noticed that you were probably the only one walking in the streets of that area.
What hotel is this in please? Thanks 😊
Thank you Wilson! It actually felt a bit strange outside because there was so many industrial buildings and auto repair shops. Even once inside the building, one could not be sure they were in the right place 😉. But once inside, it's a different story. Really nice and lively there!
OH THANK YOU! I WILL BE VISITING.
Tim, I always enjoy your videos. I don't understand your predilection for fatty beef, but to each his own. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope you stay safe and healthy.
Thank you Michael. Yeah, I gotta watch it with the fatty meats... I think it just started with some banter with the carving person..and just continued on...😉
Tim, as always a Great place. How could you pass on the chicken feet. I make one hella of great Chicken feet soup. Not to mention (bragg) my oxtail stew. All in all excellent. Best
I think he’s trying to attract viewers lol as tasty as they are
Oh... Nothing like a great oxtail stew... It used to be our family favorite that it was very affordable. Now it's more expensive than prime rib 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo Tim, hear ya there on oxtail cost. Merry Christmas. Best
Awesome review Tim!
When in Queens NYC, I will have to check this Asian Buffet out!
Seeing this place, reminds me of some years back right on the NYC and Nassau county border line, on Queens Boulevard, was the best Asain Buffet, that I ever experienced. It was called;" The Harvest Buffet".
I recall meeting a gentleman, who told me that the Harvest Buffet , was the equivalent of what he experienced in Thailand, it was the best amongst the best!
This establishment; " The Buffet", looks like an amazing buffet to experience. I will have to check it out!
Thank you so much! I wonder if the harvest Buffet is still there
@Tim Lee
Your most welcome Tim, please keep up the good work!
Sadly it seems that the Harvest Buffet on Queens Boulevard has Permintley Closed. As I did a Google search and it comes as, Permintley Closed. I believe that it was a solo Restaurant not part if a chain.
I do recall that the Harvest Buffet also had whole cooked Turkey in addition to the better quality Sushi and Seafood.
This was very enjoyable to watch, I’m glad to know that The Buffet is near my home in Queens, I’ve never heard of it! I’m definitely going to dine there soon.
Thank you so much for posting this video😊
Thank you so much for reaching out, and you live in such a great area! I just wish I had more time to explore Queens...
Very nice review and well shot. Buffet looks good. Thank you!
Thank you Andrew 🙂
I've seen better buffets than this one, on your channel. Happy Holidays Tim.
Thanks Apollo P. It's kind of funny with all the great restaurants in new york, buffets are far and few between. Glad to have found this one though🙂
Really good video thank you!

New sub. Just ran across your video and what I deeply appreciate is how he's showing us everything thats there..His descriptions are spot on and making me hungry.. Will be binge watching to catch up.😎
Ox tail soup was one of my favorites! My Dad was an expert in making Ox tail soup for us. He perfected the broth too!
Hello Tim just another awesome video. Glad to see you in the States enjoying the wonderful food. The there looks so delicious with a huge selection. Anyways stay safe out there Tim and have a blessed day.Aloha from Kansas

Hello tim...very nice...so fun to tag along with you. The buffet seems really good both in quality and price. Happy holidays to you and family. 🌲😊
Thank you Pat, I really didn't know what to expect because the outside did not look as nice as the inside. It was a good evening and it was worth searching around in the industrial area looking for the buffet 😃
Hi tim very enjoyable video thank you for the content. The food looked good are you having a good time in new York?? Continue to stay safe my friend as you travel. Can't wait until your next adventure 😁😁
Thanks Calvin, it was a short trip to New York as I managed to get a free weekend off work.. fantastic folks there and really enjoyed it. And have been back in Vancouver for the last few weeks.. right before this current wave 🤦🏻♂️😉. Thank you again and very happy holidays to you and yours!
The buffet 😋. Amazing foods!
Thank you Pao😃 a very happy holidays to you and yours 🎄🎄🎄
GREAT PLACE✅👍👍👏👏Thanks for sharing!!! Only $50!!!
Hi Tim, another great video.$50 for a large buffet in NY is a good deal. Finally, Arizona got some cold weather. Stay warm Tim.❤️from Arizona
Thank you Loanne, hopefully you're enjoying the cooler weather. It's interesting because the restaurant is located in an industrial area where there's not too many people, but once you go in it's quite nice and lively. Merry Christmas to you
Great video I lovd buffets
That's the jackpot. Once-in-a-lifetime Tim 😛🤩🙂🙏🙂🤩 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Joe 🎄
thanks for all the great vids & recommendations, planning to visit my home state of new york soon & fully intend on hitting a lot of the spots you featured on your channel.

Thank you so much for your kind comment and safe travels to you.
Thank you for always being so entertaining as well as knowledgable I've tryed watching other buffet reviews and there's is soo boring
