The food is good. To some degree even surprisingly good, considering that it is a buffet. Service is very friendly and prompt. No complaints.

I like Jumbo, it makes for a nice lunch before walking across the parking lot to the movie theater. Yes its not the worlds best chinese or sushi but its a CHINESE BUFFET ...I don't expect gourmet. They have a big variety of your normal buffet items and the sushi is fresh and well prepared.
My buddy and I went to Jumbo Buffet for the first time, we had never been there. We have been to many buffet restaurants in the Louisville, Ky. but our experiences there were that we both decided that Jumbo Buffet deserved a top rating. He thought it deserved at least a 10 and I thought it was the best buffet we had ever been to. We had lunch there on a Tuesday. It wasn't very crowded, the patrons are spread around the perimeter of the restaurant and the buffet is in mostly towards the center. The service is courteous and prompt and lunch is not very expensive and well worth the cost at $8.47 per person plus tips.
My favorite Chinese buffet in town. I really enjoy getting carry out for lunch. If you show up within 15 minutes or so after they open, though, a lot of dishes aren't out yet. I don't know why- it's not like they don't open at the same time every day.
The chicken is usually good quality (few chewy/fatty pieces, like you sometimes get at "Chinese" restaurants.) It's unfortunate that they no longer allow you to take sushi in the carry out boxes (you have to pay a separate price now for a set number of pieces), but it is understandable. Before, you could theoretically fill up several boxes of sushi for a pretty low price, since they charge by the pound.
Very good for lunch. First, I have one rule for Chinese buffets...lunch only. Why spend the extra dough for dinner to get maybe a little more seafood, as is the usual case? I don't go to a Chinese joint for seafood anyway. I hit this place once every couple weeks since I work in Jtown. I have yet to leave disappointed or hungry...and yes if a buffet sucks you can leave hungry. The Mongolian Beef, as noted by another reviewer, is way above average. Very flavorful and it makes me sweat slowly as the heat builds by bite. Yes, that is what I want from that dish! The Mongolian grill is open for lunch, nice touch. Sushi on the buffet, not great but hey I kinda view that as free sushi with the price and it is fresh and plump, so why not? So far my favorite lunch Chinese buffet here, way better than that place over by Liquor Barn.
Try the Kabobs. Somewhat expensive, but definitely above average in the often bland spectrum of Chinese buffets. Featuring a cook to order Mongolian Grill and all you can eat crab legs, we have never been disappointed with the food or the selection. My favorite item is the chicken kabobs which are char-grilled with onions.
Much better than the China 8 buffet located just down the street.
Unique variey. They offer several different choices I haven't seen on an Asian Buffet before such as frog legs and boiled crawfish. I like the Mongolian Beef the best but everything is very tasty. Out of all the Asian Buffets I've tried thus far in Louisville this one seems to be my favorite for consistently having well stocked fresh food and variety. The fact that it's convenient to the Stoneybrook theater doesn't hurt either!
Very clean, nice restaurant.
The layout and workers was great. Workers was great 👍.
Food could use a little more umph. Mongolian grill seemed lacking on the sauce needed to make it taste flavorful.

If Im spending $10-$20 at fastfood, I might as well stop at Jumbo Buffet. These days you can pay $20 and get robbed. So for the quality you might as well come here for a good lunch. Great tasting, lots of variety. Family friendly.
I really loved this place a few years ago but now it has changed a lot. The host was great, but the waitress was not friendly at all to my wife and me. Once she gave us our drinks, i said thank you. she just walked away, and proceed to talk to the table behind us which was full of guys. she never asked us if we needed anything. But made sure the guys behind us were okay. We only stayed there for 30 or 45 minutes before leaving. There were not any crab legs, and a lot of the food had post-it notes with "dinner service" on them. Which I didn't find out until we paid that we were charged for dinner service. By that time, I was ready to go. My wife was also not happy with her food. I do not see us returning.
We tried this place on a Sunday dinner, I guess they have more variety on Sundays since we paid more ($16, heard from my friend they paid @ $11 during weekdays). We have a great dinner all we’re freshly cook and tasted great, just a little downside on the calamari and crab were a bit salty for our tastes. But hey! it’s like a mini trip to Asia with all of the food choices, we came home full and contented for just an affordable price!
Decent selection of food choices. Good customer service. Everything was fresh and clean. Price with a drink came out to just over $20 per person.
I went there for lunch. All the foods were good and my server was great. The price for adult dinner buffet was $15.99+tax+tip.
Recent remodel made this place much better , the food areas were well organized , very clean , and constantly maintained with good food . Atmosphere was familiar to it's old self , very nice eating areas for couples , or groups , the staff was excellent , and on top of everything , I will eat here again soon . Thank you Jumbo Buffet .
Food was great. Hot. A lot of selection. Friendly host. There is a robot that greets you at the door. Not sure how that works. I walked past it. They have a custom order grill. Lots of seating. Nice welcoming comfortable atmosphere. I think music was playing. Prices are high but that’s expected seeing how nice the place is. I gotten takeout. My total was around $24 for 3+ lbs of food. I would come here again.
Very clean buffet areas! Food was very good, hot and fresh! Very good seafood and best crab cheese bake I've had in ages!
I will definitely go again!!
Side note:
Restrooms in need of remodel to be better maintained but were clean, and fans shouldn't be installed under a recessed light in the dining area because they create a strobe-light effect.
Loved the makeover. The AI robot was strange, but I didn't have to deal with it. I got a human so not worried about it. I came to treat my niece for her birthday. We were both looking forward to the Saturday night seafood. I was disappointed. They didn't have anything like what they used to have.
