Lucky Buffet

We heard good things about the Lucky Buffet but the entrance has never grabbed our attention to “Come in”. It’s across the street from the courthouse and I needed to renew my plates so I tried it out. I was pleasantly surprised at not only the options they had but how fresh it was and sitting there listening to other customers, it sounded like it was a regular thing for them to visit. The wait staff definitely knew most of the people that were in there and talking about family and events.

The price is reasonable for what they offer and I am going to say that it is the best buffet outside of Des Moines and in our area.

My wife agreed after I took her there… and she has literally got up and walked out of other buffets because she didn’t want to get sick. We will definitely be back if we are in Knoxville and in the mood for a buffet.

We have not only enjoyed the good food on the buffet, but have loved getting to know the sweet little family that runs the place! They are doing their best to find good deals on meat and produce so they can continue to provide the buffet at a decent price. They have a good variety of foods on the buffet (especially for a smaller restaurant). Go support local restaurants and businesses! :D
Update: Still serving GREAT food & still have GREAT service!!! :)

Excellent buffet that's kept stocked with fresh food. Great food, very reasonable prices, and friendly service from the family owners.

This is my favorite place to eat in Knoxville more so because of the service. They are ALWAYS welcoming and warm! Food is great!

Employees super friendly, food was super good, had to keep going back for more teriyaki chicken skewers 😁

Food was great nice and fresh was busy but they still found time to make sure everything was going ok with our dinner they make us feel welcome we have a 1 year old daughter and she made a mess on the floor with food and I was trying to clean it up and she stopped me and told me she could clean it up no problem

First time trying this buffet and the owner was SO incredibly nice!!! She was welcoming, personable and quick with service! The food was yummy and it was very spacious in there. We will be back!

We were here for the late dinner hours. The food was constantly fresh and full. The main course and appetizer bars were amazing. We drove 45 minutes for dinner and were not disappointed.

It is ok. The food is good when it is fresh. If you're not there during the lunch or dinner rush, don't go. The staff is super nice, but they don't always understand what you say. So your drink order may be wrong.

🚨🚨UPDATE 🚨🚨
This place has improved tremendously. The food has been amazing, always fresh no matter what time of day you're there. If something isn't, just ask, they will bring fresh out. It's my favorite place to go for Chinese food.

This buffet is by far one of the best I've been to in the entire state of Iowa. Their selection is simple but tasty. Never had any bad experiences and the food is always great. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Love coming here with my two kids. They always look forward to coming.

Good food 😋 very family friendly environment

I like this place, but it doesn't have much for. A person who is allergic to seafood and fish. The staff are really nice and one of the ladies sons had some balloons and brought my granddaughter one of them, which was really sweet. Was very happy. Price is decent.

A very welcoming environment the moment you walk in. The lunch buffet was well stocked and the food was hot and fresh as well has having a nice selection. You can tell those who work here take pride in their restaurant.

Love this little buffet. The people are so nice. Bing is just a sweetheart, and they really do their best for their customers. Great food. A family favorite

Absolutely the best pla e for this kind of food in knoxville. No place around the area that could beat the food quality

Love coming here and they owners are so nice. They usually always have fresh food and you can ask for something to be put out if you wanted. Great place to take the family and fill upon some good food for a good price

Excellent buffet very tasty clean environment. Owners are very.friendly.

The food is so good, the staff is super friendly and so nice. I’m so glad I found this place, my kids love it, my boyfriend loves it. This is our new favorite Chinese place. I recommend everyone try it. The price is very very good!!!!!

My boyfriend and I ordered about $50 worth of food from this place. Not only was it really good they ended up giving us extra food and stuff. Very nice people, happy with our experience.

Amazing peanut butter chicken and the people are amazing and super friendly I drive 20 min just to eat there and it's worth it everytime ❤
