Chow Time Grill & Buffet - Buffet restaurant in Tamarac - 6997 W Commercial Blvd, USA

Snowman Ate here Food was great. Sushi was great also. Wish there was more vegetable selection by itself options besides green beans. And vegetables mixed in with meat . Dessert section was limited also. Not much of options.

This was my first time here the food was actually good it was hot and fresh. The grill is the best part,I honestly did not care for the food at the buffet they had a lot of selection but not very tasty. They brought out the whole fried shrimp fresh and hot but it did not taste good at all I was disappointed. The crab legs were actually very good and well seasoned. I didn’t like how the grill area is right next to the bathroom and the raw ingredients are a few feet away from the grill. I also noticed that the floors were sticky and that was a bit of a turn off for me . Our waitress was ok but when we paid she counted the money in front of us so there was definitely a lack of etiquette on her part . Overall it was decent, but I’ve been to better buffets. I’m glad I tried it but I’m not going back.

First timer at Chow Time. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and it was not busy when we arrived but by the time we left, it was very busy at the buffet line. The buffet is $17.99 all day. They had everything in the buffet from sushi to Chinese favorites, to salad to pizza to desserts. There was a nice selection of raw meats that you could select for the hibachi. The layout of all the different buffet stations made for an easy flow and no lines. Serving trays were consistently full during my visit. Hot food could have been warmer but it is a buffet after all. They serve beer and wine. They want to make sure that you do not waste, so they will charge you $8.99 a pound if you leave food on your plate. Service was efficient, our dirty plates were removed, timely, and our drinks were filled before they were empty. The restaurant is lean and well maintained. There are COVID signs on the buffet reminding everyone to wear masks, no one was. I recommend a visit to Chow Time when in the area.

I great dinner at Chow Time the hostess sat me immediately! There are several selections of chicken the grilled was my favorite no bones very tender fresh and taste like the grill! They have giant fresh prawns lightly fried with salt and pepper seasoning great with fresh lemon!! The tiny little brownies cakes were heavenly whoever makes them they are delicious!!

I stopped for lunch.. Chow Time for the buffet. I haven't been for a while and it use to be my favorite buffet. Unfortunately not anymore.. the menu changed.. there was no fried shrimp or the peel and eat shrimp.. the wantons in the wanton soup were over boiled and tasteless. Sadly most of the items I tried from the hot trays were actually like warm to even cold. The the dessert bar had very little choices, I was surprised. Chow time is the most expensive compared to the other two buffets near me.. but I would go there because the food use to be awesome.. But not anymore.. I doubt I will go back

Very affordable buffet with a twist of hibachi grill done right in front of you. That’s literally my reason for going I enjoy their selections and it’s very fresh food. We go there for every occasion

As many times as I been to this place and had no problems, my group was racially profiled in my opinion. They made us pay for our group before sitting down while other customers were seated right away, service was very slow and plates were starting to pile on our table, we asked the waiter for plastic utensils and he told us to go them them ourselves rudely. It’s quite shocking how they pick and choose who to fine good service to. They will not be receiving anymore of my business.

Got to say, it’s not my favorite. The selection is diverse, and some of the things have unique flavors. Most of it is salty or sweet and all is very carb-y which appeals to some people. My favorite thing was the green beans! What I found about the majority of food is that there’s no love in it. When someone who’s making food puts their heart into it, you can taste that love. This place has no love. This place is about serving large quantities of food to large quantities of people for a cheap price. Another customer told me to pick the imitation crab and not the stinky sushi. I had to tell her sushi isn’t supposed to stink if it’s fresh. Sure enough most of the nigiri stunk like fish and I did not choose to try those. Much of the “hot” food was cold. The noodles were bland. The cooked blue crab, which I was very excited about had a sweet flavor on the outside, unfortunately, the wonderful chunks of meat on the inside may have been overcooked because their texture was that of mush. The crawfish’ flavor was watered down. There was a honey shrimp selection which was way too sweet. The barbecue pork looked good and sadly had the texture of leather. The desserts all looked prepackaged. A lot of the food I honestly had to spit out and I went there absolutely starving. I left hungry. We were sat in a room with no decorations, no TV and no windows. It was a weird space, not inviting or enjoyable whatsoever. This place was huge and all the rooms had people in them so people clearly do like this place, however, I am not one of them.
