The Harbor Seafood Buffet is located in Phoenix Arizona. They are located in the Metro Center Parking lot by where the Metro Center Mall used to be. They offer over a hundred different food items for you to try. Prices are reasonable.
Why go to a buffet?
It’s kind of nice to stroll around picking up food to graze on just like you are at a food festival.
It’s nice that you pay a set price and all that food is ready waiting for you.
Sometimes you just need something different. Sometimes you just need that element of surprise.
Sometimes you just don’t want to spend much….You can get a few appetizers, a salad, some hot foods and dessert and then some for a low set price.
It’s squeaky shiny clean when you walk in. You almost need sunglasses.
I came in just as they opened to get the freshest experience possible.
They have lots of seating. Pictured above is only a fraction of all the seating they have.
Now lets walk around and see only some of the offerings.
On my visit I thought the best chicken dish that I tried was the teriyaki chicken. It was moist, flavorful and nicely charred. (no guarantees it’s the same three hours later or tomorrow) To the left is a ham and to the right are mussels.
I picked up the bun marked Zhong zi…..Inside was rice mixed with sweet tasting squash. I like the texture of the steamed buns. It seemed almost like meringue mixed with pizza dough but I know it isn’t. Oh and they did have pizza on the buffet too!
My husband was very brave and tried an oyster and a shrimp. He said that the oyster didn’t taste fresh and I didn’t ask about the shrimp????
Neither of us felt like pigging out on the Pig Feet.
The green beans were very fresh and tender crisp with some mild garlic. We both really liked the bok choy too. Next to the bok choy were mushrooms. These three pans were good. It’s always nice to get nicely prepared fresh vegetables with your meal.
They had corn on the cob and beef ribs. Neither of us tried but they look ok.
They brought back the typical salad bar with puddings, jello, grapes, canned and fresh fruits, mayo based salads………..
The other end of the salad bar with many sauces and dressings.
Forgot to photo the sushi and sashimi. I tried a salmon sushi, a tuna sushi and a fried sushi and a salmon sashimi. On my visit everything except the tuna was much better than I expected. The salmon was actually good and better than from some sushi restaurants. Only the tuna tasted like buffet sushi tuna…(like not good to me)….. Some of the sushi didn’t have signs naming what it was….
Off the buffet I tried some flounder with scallions that could have used some sauce or flavor but the fish seemed freshly prepared and was moist and tender. Another highlight were the chicken meatballs. They are pictured below in the upper middle pan. They were moist and flavorful today….Further down it seemed they they had a million fried offerings like onion rings, fries, chicken nuggets, fried fish, and many other things.
Thee chicken (lower left on skewers) was a little dry today. Apple pie (lower middle) had raw dough on the bottoms.
Finished up with fresh sweet strawberries. They did have some baked goods but I passed on them. Oddly next to the baked goods they had a steak to carve. I think I saw a stir fry station or Mongolian grill there too! But gosh how much food can a person eat?
That was my trip to the Harbor Seafood Super Buffet in Phoenix AZ.
I would say Harbor Seafood Super Buffet is …….
Worth a Try! *******I wouldn’t drive across town for this but on the other hand it is a good value if you pick the right pans to try.
