About Eastern Buffet
Located at 190 Aiken Mall Dr SW, Aiken, SC 29803, Eastern Buffet operates as a chinese buffet serving Aiken in South Carolina. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.
Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 amβ9 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (803) 642-2788. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is easternbuffet.net, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
With 4.0 out of 5 on Google from 1,672 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for chinese buffets in Aiken. Recent reviews are the best guide.

Visited location on 8/31/26 @ 12:30p. The ranch dressing on the salad bar was rotten, salad bar items were in dirty food trays on the bar. The sushi bar and hibachi bar contain rotten smelling beef and fish. The table was grimy with a sticky film covering the benches aswell. Hostess was notified of the spoiled ranch and dirty containers after I vomited shortly after eating the salad with ranch. Staff left rotten food and ranch on bar after being informed of customer complaint. Please be careful eating at this location due to illnesses caused by spoiled/ rotten food, and unhygienic meal prep on all food bars.

Food variety is great. Tastes great!! Service is always good. The food stations are clean. My only complaint is that the cleanliness of the carpet and booths is getting worse. In fact, my family ate here yesterday May 21, 2026. There was an unpleasant smell that loomed in the air. I think it's time the carpet is ripped up and solid flooring is used. The booths need to be scrubbed weekly.

I love the food here. Sometimes things are a little better than others and I wish I knew what nights they changed a few things on the menu because I like them but they dont always have them. The chow mei fun is delicious. For a buffet, the crawfish are pretty good as well. I love that they have sushi. The whole family can all go together and get different foods and be happy. I like that the lights aren't too bright.

The food was stocked, yet the area around the food was dirty. No one cleaned up or wiped anything down. It's questionable if I'd come back. Disappointed on how the area is not over all cleaned frequently being a buffet. Workers are on their cell phones with ear buds talking. I had to ask twice to 1 worker where the sauce was. Not one server smile or was welcoming.

We did not enjoy our dinner. We went at 7:00pm. Most of the food appeared as though it had been there quite awhile. The hot and sour soup was empty and dried out (see photos). What food that was out there was luke warm to cold. The sushi bar had only salmon, with a few maki rolls of salmon, acacado, and cucumber. The "kimchi" tasted like they had simply cut up the napa cabbage and added Tabasco and Sriracha sauce. In general, the buffet looked unkempt. The rice cooker was tiny (5 cup). It was also empty. Crumbs, spills, pieces of food on the counter, etc. It just looked neglected. We sat in a booth, and at least where we sat it smelled like a mixture of mildew and bleach. On the plus side, the strawberry and peach frozen yogurt was delicious. I will not return.
