"Fortune Buffer Toms River NJ. The Best! Very clean& food are always fresh. Angie the Manager extra ordinary. Compassionate & have time to listen when I was diagnosed with Cancer. Thank you Angie. Manager but helps on the floor & people"
"I have been to this buffet a couple of times, my first time was a few years ago and my most recent visit was June 27. We came a few minutes before the dinner buffet started, so we had the dinner buffet. I have been to the lunch buffet before, and I would say that both are worth it. The prices for the buffet are pretty reasonable, and they do offer senior discounts. The options available were great, and the staff was very attentive when it came to clearing out plates. Getting drink refills without asking was hit or miss for me, but it was easy to ask for a refill. I had a variety of offerings (picture captions will include what's on the plates), and was pleased with all of the ones that I tried. Some of the food such as the fried dumplings were a little cold, and the wontons in the wonton soup could have used a little more meat, but overall I enjoyed their offerings. They have food aimed for children, as well, such as chicken nuggets, french fries, and mac and cheese. The hibachi station was nice, though the offerings in that station were a little sparse when I went. I’m not sure if I did the station wrong but it appeared as if you have to add the sauce after it is cooked, which made for a soupy hibachi. I prefer mine cooked with the sauce so the flavors get infused a little better. They have a wide variety of desserts as well. I had ice cream and almond cookies. I cannot quite speak to the sanitary conditions of the place, it was pretty clean when I went, but buffets have a problem with items getting mixed into each other. Overall, I think that this place has a lot of great options for food, and the price is worth it. The service is satisfactory, and the experience is nice."
"There are always primo offerings. I’m not up in this area often. But when I am, this has been my go to place for years. They’re really good. It really has to be the best Chinese buffet I’ve been to. And depending on the day and time, it can be a long wait. Today at lunch, there were several dozen offerings. They even had 2 shrimp dishes and 3 squid based dishes. That has to be expensive to prepare. If you’re in the area, don’t pass this place up."
"If your looking to go out to eat and dont want to break the bank, than the Fortune buffet is perfect. Personally my grandmother and I come in for lunch or on the weekends when they serve brunch. With a tip, it was under 30 dollars for 2. And its a perfect spot when your not sure what you want to order, as they have a great selection. They've got everything from your basic chinese food, to american homestyle classics, seafood, sushi and Hibachi. As well as many flavors of ice cream and a whole area with assorted desserts. I love their sushi, dimsum and the crab rangoons I can't get enough off."
"Great sushi selection great choices on seafood and chinese food as well as a few "american" choices thrown on. Always clean, great for small and large groups"
"It was Christmas day, so the place was mobbed. Everything was good, the food, service and seating. The seating, floors, bathroom. ...need to replaced very dated with some improper functionality...... Overall a great place to get your American Chinese or Sushi! tons of parking."
"A good variety. Some original items and a bit more flavor than the other buffet in Brick. Slightly higher on the price though. It get packed at lunch but it doesn't really matter, items were stocked."
"This is my go-to dinner spot out. If you're like me, a variety is almost always in order. My appetite aside, I mostly enjoy the variety of flavors and dishes that are on my list of favorites with the freshness that never disappoints! They're here at this location seventeen years.. one more year, and they're in the golden league! The hibachi table is prepared with ingredients you select and is prepared to order by the nicest. Professional chef's preparation is delivered piping hot - what I honestly really appreciate most! The sushi and different California rolls are always incredibly fresh and delicious. These two selections for me make the visits most memorable. Not to say I don't indulge in the chafing dishes - over 50 of them - but in my review I wanted to say how I appreciate they never run low on anything (constant replenishment ensure it's hot from the kitchen and fresh). This place is always immaculate as well. Favorites: Mussels in black bean sauce.. Steamed shrimp - fresh and big shell-on. Steamed rock, blue claw, king & snow crab legs. Clams on half-shell. 4 soups.. mushroom/tofu; new-england clam, egg-drop, and wanton (fresh scallions to add) - also great dumplings. Chinese musts: General Tso's Chicken Chicken in garlic sauce with peppers. American fare: mashed and roasted potatoes, pizza, Kielbasa, fried chicken, sliced tenderloin steak, ham, and succulent roast pork!! 3 different Steamed Fish dishes - salmon, snapper, sole and fluke, or sometimes bluefish. Macaroni salad; cole slaw; chicken salad, lettuce/tomato; tomato/cucumber salad; picked radishes, thin seaweed; Beets; hard boiled eggs. Green and red bean gardiniera.. Nice desserts, especially 6 flavors of fresh self-serve iced cream sugar/waffle cones, cakes, cookies, key-lime pie, roasted nuts, fruits, brownies, sweet plantains, banana cream, tapioca.. I can't list everything in the dessert tables any more than the hot chafing dishes. Trust me, everything here is the real deal: anything less and you would be cheating yourself. Come hungry! Leave 100% satisfied! Bon-appétit! If you liked my review, please give it a thumbs up?"
