Great atmosphere, will say not a fan of the flavor. Some of the buffets i had before have enriching flavors and smells that pull you to seconds. Here i just had one and was done.

This was a sad excuse for what calls itself a Buffet. There was hardly anything filled, the sushi bar was empty, the Mongolian grill selection was empty and the rest of the chinese buffet selection was mediocre at best. Its bad when you eat sweet and sour chicken and the chicken itself has no flavor. Oh and kicker was 2 people pay 43.98 for 2 buffet with a fountain drink... when telling the cashier about the sad state of their buffet you dont even get an answer or an apology or anything but more of the feeling of being unwelcome. If I could give 0 stars I would. Ive been to a lot of buffets but this one was by far the worst I have ever experienced.

An average buffet with a mongolian grill option in the middle. The sushi looks sus as hell, so I cant comment to that. The other foods they have to offer are cooked well enough.

Havent seen a place so busy in a long time. And they werent near capacity yet. I havent been to a buffet in years. It was really good. Had all my favorites general tsos, orange, sesame, that imitation crab and cheese bake, Jumbo shrimp, and too much more to list. They have a Mongolian grill You pick out what you want and give it to the chef and a sushi bar but I didnt partake in either this time. Looks great though! Will definitely go again when the mood to feast strikes! *Review updated to correct typos.

I have been to this buffet many times for more than 5 times, all l can say was the food is alright. The staffs are alright, most of them are alright, though, one time l brought drinks into the buffet and l could hear some of the staffs saying look, he even brought milk tea! In Chinese, I know it s just a statement but they were mocking me more than just that the whole time. I know it sounds like I m being dramatic because of the one statement but there was more taunting, mocking me and laughing. I don t think all of the staff are rude of course, but this isn t a must go more of a go here once or twice and never again kind of thing. It s really just decent.

After 2 experiences at this establishment, I came to this rating. Our weekend visit was great, food was hot, fresh, tasted pretty on point and the plates were clean. The staff was very courteous and came by to ask if we needed refills shortly after finishing our drinks. The weekday visit was disappointing. I saw an older male staff member grab excess fries from the counter and throw them back into the fry tray . I also had to go through 5 plates at the buffet station area just to find a decently clean one. Also the staff came off a little rushy, like trying to get us out, lingering within 10ft of the table during the process of asking for the check, paying, and while I waited after for my kids to use the bathroom, even though they were not nearly as busy as the weekend visit. Lastly, the food was just not tasty and fresh this time, especially the seafood related items. Paying for a family of 5 to eat out for dinner isnt cheap, so we definitely expect a little more, or we would get something thats fresh, decent, and cheaper like Wendys or Panda Express to take home and eat on clean plates.

In 2024, they have crab legs and BBQ pork ribs everyday. This is a decent buffet restaurant, and I love the food here. Been here many times, and never been disappointed. Looks like they switched chefs recently, because the food, even the soups, now taste much better than ever. This is also my favorite place to buy Asian-themed gift items like Sanrio, etc...

Came in before lunch was over, asked if I would be charged lunch price before I ate, they agreed and then charged me for the dinner price and lunch price. So 13 and 19 .. they did assure me that the 19 would be removed from my account .. but it wasnt cool to double charge me then act like I did something wrong. I have been at least 5 to 10 times and this encounter makes me want to eat at another buffet even tho the food was good. And I only stayed 20 minutes so there shouldnt have been any confusion plus the waiter was standing right there listening the whole time when I asked about the lunch price. Its the little things for me.

Theres not too many Vegan options. They dont have plain rice that is Vegan. A lot of gag inducing nasty seafood stuff. I ate mostly potatoes and plantains, which is ironic for a Chinese restaurant. These plantains and potatoes were good. I love buffets, so this buffett does have merit. Good iced tea. Price is decent. Its good to be full, yet there are improvements for this place. 3 stars: good

We enjoyed the large shrimp, crab, Mongolian grill, and the various salads. They had the usual buffet fare . The bins were kept filled and the food was hot. As a matter of fact, the fried chicken was too hot to eat immediately. We have returned and our second visit was equally good. Vegetarian options: Many selections of veggies. Nice salad selection. Many seafood selections if you allow seafood. Parking: Right in front of the restaurant a large lot Wheelchair accessibility: Flat access

This was without a doubt the best Chinese buffet I have ever been to. The selection was impressive, to say the least. There was so much I wanted to try but just didnt have the stomach capacity to do so. Even though the place was crowded, the atmosphere was very pleasant; not loud at all. The service was wonderful and the wait staff was very courteous. Even though its a little out of the way, I will definitely be back.

The food was good. However the staff was very rude to us. They didn t offer to refill our drinks not once, but it seemed like all of the other tables around us were being tended to. We also felt very rushed at the end to leave by the lady who brought out our check that I hadn t even asked for yet, and we really hadn t even been there but an hour. The table next to us had been there longer than us.

China Buffet is a reliable choice for a tasty meal! I appreciate that Ive never had to wait to be seated, which is a huge plus. While the sushi can sometimes be a bit cold and dry, I always find plenty of other options to satisfy my cravings. The warm buffet offerings are consistently good, especially the broccoli and vegetables. I cant resist their delicious teriyaki chicken and fried rice. With plenty of parking available, its always a hassle-free experience dining at China Buffet.

Decided to give another try after they did not pass their last health inspection. From what I saw fresh food is dumped right on top of trays of old food, meaning theres food from hours ago probably at the bottom, the buffet is also 16.99$ per person every day of the week and they certainly did not serve me a 16.99$ meal.

Gross don t come here the food is unflavored old sushi was gross everything was gross just ate because I paid but will never go back there. Everything was old and they are very cheap they don t provide the typical buffet you get at most Asian buffets no coconut shrimp not steak very little sushi doesn t matter though because it was nasty old you can tell it sat there or they save it and this was sat dinner time. Everything and I mean everything was gross limited and unsanitary. Never going back here. I rather pay for a plate at panda at least it will be good and I won t feel grossed out from what I just ate.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday, and we were pretty disappointed. The past few times we drove by this place there was a line out the door, so we decided to give it a try. Won t be back. Some of the dishes were good enough for a second plate, but the majority of the food that was served was old or pretty much tasteless. The sushi was brown. And the waitstaff hovered around our tables but didn t ever refill our drinks. Overall just disappointing. And not worth the $40 we spent.

The food was so incredibly inedible! The shrimp was mushy, the sauce on the beef and broccoli was congealed and jelly-like...no flavor. Even their sweet tea thats like they sweetened it with artificial sweetener. The table was sticky and unkempt & very close to each other. The service was honestly the cherry on top... This chick lacked give a damn & honestly acted like the customers were just herded cattle. There was four of us in our party, none of us finished even 1/4 of our plate. Nothing was done when we told Miss Personality that the food was spoiled. The worst $80 weve spent in a long time!
