Like the lightning & the music. In the background soft enough to hear. Plenty of options along with American dishes too. I recommend getting the hibachi buffet plate(included in the price)Limited combinations, although something for anyone who likes flattop asian cuisine. Traditional Chinese buffet. I Like the atmosphere. The food seemed well prepared. We even went an hour and a half before they were to close.

Best Chinese place around. Great selection. And more importantly the cleanest.

The pice for lunch Buffet on website is. $8.99..There is a “take home menu on counter . In that menu the $8.99 is crosses out and $11.99 is written over it . No where did I see the $11.99 visable… We got our bill and was charged. $11.99! No senior discount.Because of stomach issues I just had broth and jello was okay with that at $8.99 because my husband would enjoy a bigger meal ! When I showed her the web site, I was charged $25.42 for 2 lunch buffets without drinks . She gave me a $6.49 “gift card”.My husband enjoyed the foods said it was great .. I went because it would be a richer broth .But the price increase needs to be visible !

The food is good, havent been disappointed . A word of advice, it is best to go either just before or on the tail end of peak times. This will give you access to the freshest choices. If you do go at off peak times, the refresh rate is not great. It makes sense. Some of the selections that I normally choose were low or empty and others where getting stale. I am sure I could have asked for a refresh on specific items. They have a wonderfully attentive team.

Food was just ok. Some better than others. Some not hot or cold enough. Very friendly and attentive staff. My biggest complaint would be how dark it is in the whole restaurant, I could barely see my food. Over all it was an ok experience. My kids liked it.

I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. The staff are very friendly. The waitress always fills up my drink when it’s at halfway without me asking. The food is delicious. The bathrooms are clean. They offer some American dishes as well such as macaroni and cheese, pizza, steak, and ice cream for dessert. There are more than enough seating options.

We like this place. Its clean. The food is usually hot and fresh.

I came in here yesterday with my family and all of the workers were completely AMAZING! The food was SUPER! Our waitress was so kind and never let our drinks go empty. The selection is very wide and everything was full and fresh. The bubble tea is also really good!

I went here for lunch and was a bit disappointed. Some of the hot items were cold and some tasted a little like soap, or at least off. There was a decent selection, even for vegetarians, but for the price the food was a let down.

Some times its 100% fire! Sometimes its a 1/10. It might be the times I go in. I think its still definitely worth it. A little more expensive then the other buffets in the central PA area. When its good though I wouldnt choose any other buffet!

Went in for lunch for my birthday today. The food was pretty fresh, the selection was good for it being lunch time, and the staff was friendly. Overall I was fairly happy with my visit. The sushi selection lacked a bit, but without much customer traffic during the day in that area it is super understandable. Check them out, theyre my favorite in the area.

Rushed us to pay the entire time and when I asked for my change she just walked away and didn’t come back. Waste of 20 bucks

Nicely set up & clean. The food has a good taste, however, the only item that was hot was the different soups. Kind of expensive, even though we went there for lunch. Maybe if the food had been hot, I wouldve given more stars.

The food is good and the service is good. There is a large selection to choose from. Remember its a buffet and the freshness of your food will depend on when you visit. I recommend visiting at peak hours if you are a very picky person.

Busy, good was tasty, hot and fresh. The coconut boba tea was good but the boba could have been cooked more, kinda hard, tacky and chewy. It was weird but good. Dinner for2 was a bit more on the expensive side but worth it.

Nice buffet. Lots of different food varieties...all good. Clean restaurant. Nice atmosphere for a group.

We have always have a good experience at 56 Buffet. The staff all always very friendly. The food was very delicious.

Good food and seems like a very clean place they seem friendly there

Great food, always got, always fresh!!

Food was wonderful, service was great.I had so much fun, I actually over ate!

Good meal, price is a little bit higher than expected.

Great food and staff! Very clean and pleasant atmosphere!

Absolutely delicious sushi.

Over priced food wasnt very good

Great food just dont eat there at lunch time its not as good for some reason. Dinner is awesome tho

Overall the food was decent for Johnstown. The reason for the stars is because the whole entire time we were there the waitress kept steering at us the whole time. When it came down to paying my mother paid with her card. The waitress looked at the receipt and laughed because no tip was left on the card. She took the receipt and waived it at my mom. We planned to tip this waitress in cash not on the card. After a few minutes she came to collect our plates and started to say to my mother angrily “You no leave me money You no leave me any tip” After a few moments she came and said “Thank You” sort of like dismissing us. Honestly she didn’t deserve that tip after she performed like that but she was tipped in cash as we planned. If only she had realized not all people like to tip using their cards. If she keeps up that customer service they will lose even more customers.

Not much seafood but, what they had was a large selection and it was all good

I love the way they make some of the foods, occasionally dont taste as good but usually is.

They remodeled their buffet a little bit and I liked it! Their hibachi is spot on too.

Decent food buy way too over priced. Cost $90 for 4 people to eat

I love this place. A huge selection of food and they even have a hibachi there (when there isnt a pandemic) and you can have a meal made your way. They also have a small selection of sushi that are all delicious

All the food was old when we got there and the server tried to grab my hand to make me leave her a tip when i was planning to leave a tip on the check when i went to pay and she didnt see one on the table

Very nice choice of foods oriental and American. Wonderful service.

Very nice good food prompt service

The food was as so so .expected better quality.

The food is okay here. The price is decent, I guess. Im still a little bit upset that they took the crab legs away. It was so much better when you could travel an hour to get there and know that they were crab legs on the menu.

Good food and atmosphere.

A run of the mill Chinese and Japanese cuisine with a hint of american. Really nice people and a really nice atmosphere!

Would like to see more selections on the buffet but overall is good

Excellent food and service, as always!

Ive had more sushi variety at other buffet places.

Delicious food and good people they are friendly workers.

Went for dinner on a Wednesday and was charged $36 for 2 people. Didnt think about it until we got home. Kinda ridiculous.

It was ok. Normal Chinese buffet when your hungry for that.

Great food and excellent waitress!

Good food, good atmosphere..

Just had the worst meal there ever salmon was cold not cooked enough told the waitress to throw it away, seafood Supreme was cold pork roast was under cooked looked raw so I passed on it, been there over 50 times hope this was just a off day but it will be a while before I go back if at all .

Excellent food and excellent atmosphere. The menu doesnt change much but a nice variety of items!

Never did like this place but decided to give it another shot years after having a bad experience . Im never impressed🙄 Main moon is definitely better!

Amazing food at am amazing value. food has always been fresh and the waiters are always around cleaning off the tables and getting refreshments. I would recommend anyone looking for a good all you can eat to stop in and try 56 Buffet.

This was are 1st time we was so impressed the atmosphere the fresh of the food and so so much to pick from and the help was so sweet did bug you but yet you alaway had a clean tables..thank you well be coming back thanks the Cook

Very nice atmosphere, sushi is good. The buffet is large and spread out. Resonable prices as well.

Menu is slightly smaller than before the restrictions but the quality is still good.

Great food!

Friendly people with good food. Love the hibachi grill. Womens bathroom is always really slippery though. Be careful walking into there.

Socially distanced. Hand sanitizer. Courtesy. Wide variety of food. Masks to be worn while on the floor. 👌

Wifey loves this place

I loved it, try the habachi ^^

All you can eat buffet with hibachi and sushi. Food is pretty good.

The hostesses and servers are always so friendly. The food is good, hot, and well stocked. They have the best spring rolls and donuts. I would have given 5 stars if the sushi was better stocked but when it is, it is fresh.

Chinese food not so good

This buffet is very good service is good the food is good the desserts are very good

Food was better than the Main Moon it was tastier more grilled flavor thanks Joe it was delicious sorry I was too upset to eat

Food was very bland. I was not impressed. I eat a lot of these buffets and this one use to be good when it first opened but then the food went down hill. The food was cooked right and is fresh but just didnt taste good and when the bill is almost $13 per person u expect the food to taste good. I will not be returning.

Buffet food was luke warm and seemed bland. Servers were very nice and attentive. Price is right for quality of food selection. I recommend the hibachi grill and make fresh meals.

Good food, good service, all In all a typical Chinese American restaurant. Nothing to fancy a definite bang for your buck.

All the food was very hot and fresh. A wide variety of hot and cold foods, desserts and salad. Hibachi grill and sushi available also. Price is very reasonable

I luv 💗this place

Food cold. Not a good selection.

Food was good and service was good also

Amy and Jean are the best. They create good food. Only thing I would like to see added to the menu here is walnut chicken with the white walnut sauce in it.

First time at that buffet. Pleasantly surprised. Much better than the ones Ive been to in the past few years

Good food friendly service i enjoyed my time there

Awful just awful ate there before was ok this time it was not good.

It was okay the food could have been better a lot better

Nice clean friendly place

Best Chinese in the Johnstown area! Nice clean place too!

Very nice buffet, actually found items we had never seen before. The staff were quite pleasant and very attentive. The food was delicious.

Got sick food wasnt fresh

Huge selection and everything was hot and delicious. I will definitely go back next time Im in the area.

While getting stuffed mushrooms there was a long hair that I removed from the cream cheese. I informed the guy behind counter he looked at me, looked down, and went into the back and told people back there. The food was cold and tasteless.

Been here roughly a dozen times. Hard to communicate with staff and see them distracted on their phones. On the other hand, food is pretty good

Exquisite cuisine and great price.

I was underwhelmed, honestly. I LOVE Chinese food and buffets. However, this one was so so. The food itself TASTED good-- it just didnt taste FRESH. That was my big thing. I will say, they have an excellent dessert tray though; the best were the doughnuts, and the sesame balls (not sure what they really are called, but I theyre some sort of deep fried treat resembling donut-holes coated in sesame seeds with a sweet bean paste in them)... and that tasted good. Mmm. They were good... now I want one....Additionally, the servers were nice, showing me where they kept the chopsticks. Its not too expensive, as far as buffet food goes. But, I dont know if Id eat here again. I like leaving my palette overwhelmed with happiness, and freshness is big on my must-haves list.

Reasonably priced. Typical Chinese buffet food. Everything i had tasted good and cooked correctly. Somewhat attentive staff. Didnt get to try the sushi yet.

Very good service. Food is great! They have a good selection of food!

Good variety of food on their buffet. From traditional American, Mac n cheese, pizza, mashed potatoes etc to our standard Chinese, along with sushi and hibachi. Good meal, Friendly staff with a good rate of being attended to with drink refills and cleaning off the table.Not sure how they distinguish between a buffet price $ to a dinner price $$. Some foods are market with a label (for dinner only). Nmake sure to ask when you visit. Solid A rating in my opinion.

Great Place And Good Food They Were Out Of A Selection And We Asked For It And They Bought It Fresh To Our Table... Great Service‼️

Nice and clean buffet. The food was fresh and a good variety to pick from.

The food was fresh and there was quite a selection. I mostly eat sushi so I cant really comment on the buffet items but my kids said it was really good

It’s a very good buffet with a wide variety of dishes. Some of the dishes are have too much sugar added and the dishes get cold. The hibachi grill is the saving grace of this restaurant. Love it!

In my opinion the best Chinese buffet around. The food was amazing. Very clean restaurant. Hibachi chef and sushi chef making fresh to order while you watch. Large selection of food items. Everything included with the all you can eat buffet price 13.99 per person. I ate at least 50.00 just in seafood alone. Only draw back was waitress was slow and did not keep up with clearing dishes.

Even if they did get shut down and then reopen under a different name several days later, I am 100% confident they took care of that cockroach problem! Okay buffet, food usually seems hot and fresh. Standard American Chinese buffet fare.

Various types of sushi and made to order hibachi bar makes this a go to place. They also have American food, other Chinese favorites, salad & dessert bar. Wait staff are personable.

Great dumplings!

Food is always fresh and very good taste! Will definitely be going back again!

I love this place. I eat here at least once a week. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly.

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant! The whole place is clean & the staff are friendly.. Unlike some buffets Ive been to, the food @ the 56 Buffet is always hot & fresh, & they offer a good selection of food to choose from.. All around a positive experience!

Quiet and the help was busy keeping the area clean. The food was very good. We will go back.

The food is always fresh and the staff is amazing the large variety of food makes it enjoyable for the whole family
