Chinese Buffet

This is the go to Chinese restaurant around here. Great food, soft serve ice cream and Pepsi products, peanut butter chicken. Everything you could want.

Very good Chinese buffet. Everything was hot and fresh and kept full. It was only $ 8.00 for lunch, which included the drink. For a Chinese buffet, this was very good.

Well, I guess I’ll give this one five stars, since I’ve frequented this place so much. It is easily one of the best places to eat in Alton, and up there as one of the best Asian buffets on the ‘East side’. I’ve been here so much over the years that I even remember eating here on the day the world stopped turning (⁹⁄₁₁). What really amazes me is how much this place hasn’t changed in time, in a good way. They somehow seem to keep things going and maintain their status as the ‘go-​to’ place for the best all-​you-​can-​eat restaurant. This was the first place I’ve tried many things for the first time, including their ‘peanut butter chicken’! Their fried stuff like crab Rangoon, fries, and many others have always been top quality. The only negative thing is the guy who is always taking my money (assuming he’s the owner or one of them?), who is never really that friendly. But the food wins there every time. Their sushi and dessert selection is weak, but the other categories somehow win over me. It is also notable that this is one of the very few places that doesn’t charge extra for beverages, as it is part of the deal.

Been coming here for years. Good chinese food when it’s fresh. Go during lunch or dinner times and you’re fine. Great selection and always pretty clean. Attentive staff.

A friend and I after a busy day decided to stop for a quick lunch before heading home. Never been to this restaurant before but, thought we would give it a whirl. It smelled good the minute we walked in. They had a nice selection of various entrees to choose from and enough selections that if you have a child (children) that dont exactly like chinese food, they will still find several diffrent entrées they will want as well that are aimed more towards a kids taste. The food was very fresh, hot and nicely spiced. I thought the egg drop soup was absolutely delicious. They had a small dessert area as well and it seemed everyone enjoyed the soft serve ice cream, although i didnt have any myself. The staff was friendly and when we wanted a bit of white vinegar to put in our pot sticker sauce as my friend and I have done for over twenty years to add flavor. Lol They were quick to please and get us some. We went for lunch and the price was very decent as well. Between the price, fresh food and nice employees, I definitely recommend this as a place to stop and grab a meal whether by yourself or with the family.

This is a solid Chinese buffet if your in the area. Good selection normal fair. Pretty clean. Would recommend.

I must say this is the best Chinese food in the Granite City /​Alton Illinois area. The restaurant is clean, the food is hot and fresh, and the service is very good. You can’t go wrong by stopping here. I never heard of peanut butter chicken nor try it until today, and i must say it’s pretty good.

This place is a staple of my childhood and adolescence. I want to say it opened in 98 or 99 but has been nothing short of consistent all of these years. Their offerings have a homemade quality as if they use their own recipes unlike most place that use the same low quality food vendors.
Steve is always very courteous as are his waitstaff and keeps this place spotless. The food is always tasty and hot but like 99% of Chinese food buffets, you will feel comfort at first and comatose once your dinner settles.
Still worth a visit when you want to indulge on sweet greasy goodness!

Food taste great! Frog legs are fried and seasoned perfectly. Speaking of seasoning, I really enjoy all the excellent favors. Favorite Chinese food in the area. Great family price too.

The Sesame Chicken is the main reason I go here when I’m in town. So good.

It’ll do in a pinch, if you’re feeling famished and must go to a Chinese buffet, and you don’t want to leave 62 002, but Hong Kong House has better food. For being a great big place, the selection and quality here is just so-​so. I miss Oriental Garden in the lot by Schnucks, which had much better egg rolls, crab rangoon, and pretty much better everything. But this place opened and gradually took Oriental Garden’s business.

Growing up, this was THEE place to go for Chinese food. I would stay away from pretty much all other Chinese places in the area for fear of gastro-​intestinal bugs. Now, this is not really authentic Chinese food, if that is what you’re looking for, but it is good.
The selection is very large and offers some items that other Chinese food lovers don’t even believe exist (like peanut butter chicken) when I mention them. If you are not accustomed to eating very greasy food, then you might not want to go wild on your first attempt — many people are overwhelmed by the spread and load up on the first trip only to regret it later. Like I said, this isn’t really authentic Chinese Food, but don’t tell that to the locals.
There are also a few standard American items like chicken tenders to keep the less experimental diners happy.

I feel sick everytime I eat here. Finally others are starting to understand this is not healty… they have a hodge podge of food… tader tots, sushi, fried chicken… it’s like the ghetto hometown bufffet… or golden coral. I’m not a fan… only thing I really like is the soft serve icream maker… I would totally be standing by that all day just eating ice cream :)

Okay. I survived. But it was not a really great experience. I didn’t get food poisoning or anything, but I walked to the car with an abiding sense of regret.
The food was greasy, even by Chinese buffet standards, which are usually measured with a dipstick to begin with. After wading into the lackluster food, I ended up sticking with the egg drop soup and getting the heck out.
I don’t write bad reviews. Some folks delight in a poison-​pen pan; I don’t. I just didn’t feel good about my experience here and I never went back. Done.

I’ll give this three stars because I understand it’s the midwest and I’m sure that the influx of immigrant influence isn’t something that’s taken advantage of in Chinese takeout’s. The family I was visiting love the place. The fried rice was good, my mom loves the peanut (butter?) chicken, but the peanut taste was overpowering for me. Even if someone isn’t fond of Chinese food, they have chicken fingers and fries. The sushi was not too bad… for Alton.

Delicious food, many choices. I prefer to get a carry out when I go because I end up spending less than $ 4 on food rather than paying the $ 8 for the actual unlimited buffet. It’s a perfect choice for those who want cheap Chinese food for a portion just right for you.

This is by far the best chinese in Alton. They offer stuff for kids/​and adults that are picky eaters. We sometimes swear that it is Mcdonalds chicken nuggets that they have up there! They also have salad and veggie sushi. Oh and don’t forget the ice cream machine!
