Il Mi Buffet (Annandale, VA)

Unlike Chinese buffets, good Korean buffets are hard to come by.  The buffet bar at Il Mi features traditional Korean cuisines, such as Jap Chae (Cellophane Noodles cooked with Assorted Vegetables), Bin De Duk (Fried Flour Pancakes with Assorted Vegetables) and Duk Bok Gi (Spicy Rice Cakes).  Not into the buffet?  The delicious alternative is the Korean barbeque, where you cook your choice of meats right at your table.  Compared to other Korean restaurants, Il Mi is a true bargain for barbeque.

Fortune Star Buffet (Rockville, MD)

If you’re familiar with the Rockville area, this family-style buffet restaurant will be hard to miss.  Crowded with people of all ages, Asians and non-Asians have a common goal; they come, they see, they chow down.  Serving over 100 dishes, including Chinese, Cantonese, Italian, American, Japanese, and Vietnamese cuisines, we dare you to make a third trip to the buffet.  But don’t fill up before you try their Pan-fried Flounder, Crab with Ginger and Scallion and their Sushi Bar.  To avoid the “I should have hads,” try new things first and then work back to your old favorites.
