$25 Massive Buffet Feast - Greater Seattle's Asian Seafood Dim Sum buffet

It's nice to be back home in Vancouver in the Pacific North West. And with Seattle being out neighbour city just a bit south of us, we decided t spend the day there. But as always, there's some good news and some bad news.
First, the bad news... we had to go shopping at the Seattle Premium Outlets.
Now, the good news... I found out thanks to many viewers that there is a buffet in the Greater Seattle area called the Harvest Buffet. And it gets better because it's supposedly one the largest buffets in the Greater Seattle area and offers an incredible deal at $20 - $25 for their dinner buffet with seafood, sushi, Mongolian grill and dim sum. Plus, while asian buffets are not known for their desserts, the dessert station at the Harvest is impressive!
Unfortunately, while my friends decided to head back, I decided to venture on. Thank you for joining me on this local buffet adventure.

I enjoy how nice and polite you are to everyone, I believe addressing everyone with their names is a great thing you do not see a lot anymore

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Really grateful that everyone there were such good sports

[@alexchainey.]

I have to commend you and give you props for driving alone from 200 outlet mall into Tacoma, just to dine and review this insanely busy Buffet solo, for your viewers.

[@kito1san]

Yea, looks like a long drive down there just to do this review

[@derekdestep40]

When eating at buffet make sure you at no breakfast or lunch to get money worth

[@msladylibra8373]

Hi Tim your such a Great food blogger I've been subscribed to your channel for over 4 years now and I click onto your videos just as quick TODAY as I have for years now ❤❤❤❤

[@oscarman42]

I appreciate when a reviewer addresses negative comments that are not part of their experience. Don't know about a little "danger" to the food but happy to watch you go for it, Tim! And that price cannot be beat. Another wonderful food tour.

[@barbarachippel2214]

Tim, I love watching your buffet journeys! Our Harvest Buffet closed for good about two years ago 😔 so it brought back fond memories.☺ The buffet here was only $8.99 for lunch and $11.99 for dinner.😋

[@markroulette3419]

I had to chuckle when you said the buffet was 1/2 hour away, but if you drive fast, it’s only 15 minutes away. Immediately, my mind went, okay so if the speed limit is 50 mph and it takes 1/2 hour, then to get there in 15 minutes, I need to drive 100 mph. Thanks for the chuckle Tim. 😂😂😂

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Sometimes I'm surprised at some of the things I say in the videos...🤦🏻‍♂️😉

[@proudasiangirl576]

right?! he was hungry and on a mission! LOL

[@douglashoward346]

It's more like an hour and ten to drive from Seattle premium outlet mall to Tacoma with light traffic.. With heavy traffic triple the time

[@kingofslots777]

Thanks for reviewing our favorite Buffet. We agreed with everything you ate. Hope you had safe travel home after that huge meal.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much and I can see why this is your favorite buffet! Really enjoyable and I must say that the sushi station was worth the cost alone 🙂

Happy Easter Tim, that’s lot of food for buffet 😻thanks for sharing for that kind of yummy food Tim🤤😍❤️👏😮

[@tayaoj4]

I always enjoy watching your food reviews Tim, this has to be one of the best value buffets that you reviewed. I am still amazed from the amount of food you can eat, 3 rounds of 2-3 plates plus a dessert plate... you are one of the most polite/funny/entertaining youtubers out there, great job and i hope to see more of your videos!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I can’t imagine a better deal for $20-$25!

[@tinasbeans]

The fried bananas are plantains! Very different from regular bananas. Eaten all over the world, especially in the Caribbean. You can eat them green or yellow/black (which is what they were serving)

[@jc0730]

Well done,Tim. Great sushi and cheese covered anything is a quick trip to heaven. So the spinach and potatoes smothered in cheese looked like pure bliss !

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was impressive the amount of sushi they have. That The station would have been worth the $25 alone.

[@jadehom8067]

Excellent $25 buffet...lots of different types of dishes to choose from...even picky me found a few dishes and get my moneys worth 😋😂...Happy Easter, safe travels and God Bless 🤗❤

What a bargain buffet! It's great watching my boyfriend eat, and it's the same thing with you. You have an honest opinion on what's good 👍 😊

That's a great deal for such a huge buffet. If you add up all those plates you've ate individually for takeout....easily cost $100

[@wendyip2153]

Great value for money. Thanks for filming, you’re so polite and sweet x

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It’s nice to find some good value places … things are getting so expensive 🙂

[@marlies7444]

Looks like a great deal for the price. I just found your t-shirt to funny, drinking your Pepsi with a Coca-Cola shirt on 😂

[@deezchewchews]

First off I commend you on vlogging in such a crowded area. Your commentary kept me watching the full video. Additionally, I really appreciate you finishing everything you put on your plate.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was very interesting to film at the buffet. It was crazy, busy but lots of fun as many of the guests were quite engaging.

[@be236]

Nice review... decent price during lunch time.. I'll have to try it out sometime.

[@xraydonnie1]

Tim your buffet offered many, many choices but one of your favorites was missing, Potato Salad haha! Tks for all your time and effort.

Hi Tim 👋I just wanted to say thank you for yet another awesome buffet review 😄Harvest Buffet reminds me of the Hibachi Grill & Buffet in Houston. Your talent for cracking crawfish is seriously impressive, and it's funny we ended up having boiled crawfish for dinner tonight too 😆 I really appreciate you taking the time to review the kimchi, especially after indulging in dessert 😅Can't wait to see your next food adventure !

While you're home in Vancouver, I would love to request you make a video at your favourite/staple restaurants, but also make a Q&A of it! We know you love a good potato salad, but don't know why you got into food vlogging? what your favourite place to travel is? Your favourite food? What your other career is that calls for so much travel? 🙏🙏

You mentioned Dallas, which is kinda land locked, even though there's a Gulf near there was better with there sea food. I commented to early. You choking on the cocoa powder made me nervous, I wanted to call for help for you😊. I'm glad you're ok Tim Lee.
