Century Buffet might as well be called Four-Century Buffet, reflecting the more than 400 Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and American dishes and items on the buffet, lunch, dinner, and brunch menus. Billed as an "International Fusion Buffet," it's the combination of foods, not their treatment, that create the fusion. However, with virtually every standard Asian buffet item you can imagine, along with sushi, sashimi, vegetarian items, pizza, pasta, steak, beer, and wine, there's something for everyone. Moderately priced, Century food is also available for order online (for pickup), with coupons at the website.
