Reviews for Imperial Buffet in Normal, IL
Years ago when this restaurant first opened it was much better. I have been here a couple of times recently and the food was not... very fresh. There is always a lot of customers so not sure why that is. If you want to eat a variety of food for a reasonableprice where there is something for everyone this is the place to go. I had fish, sushi, and salad. Had a desert. Maybe it wasjust a bad day there but the only thing I really enjoyed was the salad. I will come back but only if others want me to go and itwould not be my first choice. Our server was nice and we left him a tip. Read more
By far the nicest buffet I?ve ever been too. Food is just as good!
Very good food with wide selection of dishes from traditional buffet favorites to sushi to unique seafood. The salad bar,... build-your-own and pre-made options were great. Staff was amazing taking care of everything and being super nice as well! Read more
When their food is fresh, it's really good. The problem is, their server who refills the pans on the buffet table will put the... old food on top of the new food. I watched her do it several times tonight and then said something about it to the manager.There were a few waitresses listening as well. The manager thanked me and then proceeded to do nothing. She never went and saida word to the server, who refilled several more dishes while putting old food on top of new - sometimes mixing it all together.I told the manager again when I went to pay. I also informed her I couldn't eat anymore because it was sickening to see all ofthe old dried up food mixed in with the new. She silently rang me up, full charge, and then I left. They clearly have no carefor their customer's health safety. Read more
Soup very good, when I was there the fish was picked over already. But was good. Sushi was ok, the noodles were great, and... shrimp full size. So if careful can put together a great meal. Read more

I loved eating here. The food was fresh and delicious and they kept the dining and buffet area very clean. I will definitely be... coming back again! Read more
It is all about 200+ items including numerous appetizers, entrees, noodles, rice, sushis and desserts - all you can eat buffet.... The atmosphere is not too bad but the food here is a real deal. More than a hundred of people can seat and dine together as thefloor is quite big. If you consider the choice and the taste of food here, the price will appear quite reasonable. We likedtheir Coconut Shrimp, Broccoli Chicken, Crab Salad etc. And the Mongolian BBQ (like Hibachi) - where we picked our choice ofveggies, proteins, noodles and sauces on our own and the chef at the BBQ counter prepared the dish right in front of us. If youare a foodie and like asian food, this is a must go place for you. Pro tip: 1. Weekday lunches are cheaper than the Weekenddinners. 2. To conquer an unlimited buffet like this, you gotta play with the right strategy. Try a tiny little portion ofeverything, especially those items which are moving faster than the rest. After identifying your favorite items, start attackingthem one by one. Lol ???? Read more
