Discover the story behind Chow Time Grill & Buffet — a family-built restaurant brand inspired by tradition, diversity, fresh ingredients, and a passion for bringing people together through great food.

Discover Our Story

Every successful restaurant has a story, and at Chow Time Grill & Buffet, our story begins with a simple but powerful belief: good food brings people together. What started as a small family dream has grown into one of the most beloved buffet experiences in the region — a place where culture, flavor, and community come together in every meal.

Humble Beginnings, Big Dreams

Chow Time was founded with a vision to create a dining experience that felt welcoming, generous, and full of variety. The founders, inspired by their deep connection to Asian culinary traditions and their appreciation for American comfort flavors, dreamed of opening a restaurant where guests could try a little of everything without limits.

From day one, the mission was clear:

Serve fresh, flavorful food
Celebrate diverse cuisines
Offer an affordable, family-friendly experience
Create a space where everyone feels at home

This vision became the foundation of Chow Time Grill & Buffet.

Growing Into a Multicultural Dining Destination

As the restaurant expanded into new cities, Chow Time became known for its unique blend of Asian and American cuisines, featuring:

Freshly rolled sushi
Hibachi-style grilled dishes
Chinese entrées
Seafood specials
Classic American comfort food
A full dessert and beverage selection

Rather than choosing one culinary direction, Chow Time embraced many — reflecting the multicultural communities it serves.

A Place Where People Connect

Chow Time isn’t just a buffet; it’s a place where families gather, friends catch up, coworkers celebrate, and communities come together.

Our dining rooms are designed to feel open, warm, and inviting — with large tables for big groups, comfortable seating for families, and a buffet layout that encourages exploration and conversation.

From birthday celebrations to casual weeknight dinners, Chow Time has become a go-to destination for meaningful moments.

Committed to Freshness and Quality

One of the most important chapters in our story is our commitment to freshness.
Every day, our team prepares ingredients, rolls sushi, grills hibachi plates, and replenishes buffet stations to ensure guests enjoy the highest-quality meals.

Our philosophy is simple:

Fresh ingredients deliver better flavor.
Variety keeps the experience exciting.
Quality builds trust with every guest.

That dedication continues to shape who we are today.

A Future Built on Flavor and Community

As Chow Time Grill & Buffet grows, our story is still being written — by our guests, our team, and the communities we serve.

We remain committed to:

Expanding our menu
Enhancing the dining experience
Staying true to our family-driven values
Welcoming every guest with warmth and appreciation

Our journey started with a dream, but it continues because of the people who walk through our doors every day.
