Like hiding underneath the prep table and or nibbling on paper menus, buffets are a great way for diners to sample a restaurant's full range of offerings. Taste a less pulpy selection of eats with today's Groupon to Buffet World. Choose from the following options:

• For $2, you get one order of chicken fried rice (a $5.25 value).
• For $6, you get one adult buffet of international cuisine served Monday–Thursday from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. (up to a $12.99 value).
• For $10, you get two Chinese main dishes from the rice, chow mein, and noodles; chicken, beef, and pork; and seafood sections of the takeout menu (up to a $22.50 value).

Buffet World beckons growling stomachs into its 260-seat dining room with an eclectic lineup of Chinese, Japanese, and Canadian offerings. With the buffet, diners peruse and discuss ideal first dates with more than 100 items before piling plates high with tasty choices such as roast beef and pizza. Kick off voyages around the buffet line with a trip to the salad bar, sample sushi selections, and then cap off feasts with desserts such as ice cream and fortune cookies. From the takeout menu, dry noodles blend with bean sprouts and pork in a chow mein (a $5.45+ value), spicy satay sauce drizzles over beef (an $8.50 value), and shrimp weaves into a bed of mixed vegetables (an $8.50 value). Finally, expert chefs fry up veggies, rice, eggs, and chicken to stuff hungry patrons and their plastic-lined pockets with chicken fried rice. With an eye toward healthy eating, Buffet World's culinary wizards whip up their dishes using vegetable oil and fresh herbs and spices.
