Mr. Wangs is probably one of the best Chinese buffets in the area. My husband goes more than I do and he loves it! I would rate it higher if they had a better variety of non fried items. The service is friendly and the price is great.

OK, so here’s the thing… I like Mr. Wang’s! Look folks… it’s a Chinese Buffet. Its not going to be P.F. Changs… or Stix… or whatever. Its clean. GREAT variety… all under $ 10. Serveral chicken dishes. Beef & Pork. Fried rice, white rice, noodles. Soups… egg rolls pretty much everything except for sushi. The service is fast & friendly. The food is tasteful & fresh. This is one of my go to spots when I want to pig out under $ 10& I love it for what it is. Nothing more or nothing less. I will definitely be back!

Mr. Wangs was absolutely terrible. I don’t expect much from a Chinese buffet but I do expect the food to be hot and the food to be edible. Pretty much everything tasted the same. The Mongolian beef was pure trash, it took me 10 minutes just to properly chew my food. The meet was like rubber. The only reason I’m giving it one star is because I’d Feel bad if I gave them anything lower

Not bad at all! It’s a Chinese buffet. Been to hundreds of those, right? Service is friendly. Price is reasonable. Food variety about average. Here’s where they raise the bar, though. … the flavor and quality of many of the items I sampled were extremely good and far better than I’d expect from a buffet. Definitely a very solid buffet choice!

This is the best Chinese Buffet in Birmingham! Try the Hot and Sour soup, the yummiest egg rolls, the best garlic chicken, the tastiest Mongolian Beef! Everything on the menu is Delicious! !!

I like it. let me get the bad stuff out of the way. Bit dated décor, small food selection(no sushi or hibachi) Lunch Selection is 99% chicken. the good stuff… I believe the quality of the food is above average. Normal big chinese buffet, everything taste the same. Mr. Wang’s is a restaurant AND a buffet. This leads to better quality food being served at the buffet. All of the soups are excellent and don’t look or taste like rest(in a good way) Been there for lunch and dinner. both are priced reasonably. I exceptionally love their crab rangoon and what appears to be a hand made beef eggroll(dinner) I always feel like I ate at a restaurant, not a buffet. Don’t let the looks fool you, the food quality makes up for it. Also the owner(i’m assuming) is very nice and welcomes you as if you are his friend.

I’m giving it 4 stars, because it is buffet, but it is really good buffet. The food is so much better than other chinese restaurants in Birmingham area. I went for the lunch buffet. Total bill including drink(without tip) was $ 10, so it is decent for a lunch. Most of the chinese dishes were really pretty good, not as good as fresh cooked, but good for a buffet. There is plenty of variety to chose from. The soup was good. As someone else noted, most of the dishes are chicken, but I found a beef dish and it was a bit tough, so maybe better that it is chicken. It is a place I will go to often for lunch since it is close to work.

Mr. Wang’s is so good. They have a variety of Chinese food on their buffet. Beautiful and clean looking restaurant. I use to eat there all the time. The food is very tasty. I ate the beef and broccoli, egg roll, the ice tea is really good. The waiters are very nice.

Good price. The buffet at lunch time are mostly chicken, hardly any beef or pork or seafood. For that price, I guess we can’t ask too much.

Not bad for a chinese buffet. Although there are signs everywhere that make the staff seem/sound rude they are pretty nice. They get people in and out very quickly. The food changes every so often between meals so if you have a favorite just hope it’s a staple. Sometimes things are not labeled or they labels are mixed up so just keep an eye out. The soup is not my favorite and there are no vegetarian spring tools, however the crab angels make up for this. As a vegetarian I have to say that the options are plentiful and flavorful. Avoid the church rush if you can.

Freakin Yucks!!! I used to like it for the crab legs. But Not Anymore. I made the mistake of taking my kids there Friday night 10−31−14. If you want to GROVEL at the food bar waiting for something fresh, go there. My kids loaded up on fries and noodles. My bill? $ 30 something bucks to get the hell out of there!!! YUCKS. CHOWTOWN is sooooo much better.

Great food, great price! Prior to getting onto Unilocal earlier this year(2014), I use to frequent this buffet whenever I was short on time. In short, this side of town has two main buffet restaurants, one is Mr Wang’s and the other is U China Buffet. What sets Mr Wang apart is this simple fact that the owner is always present when I’m there and he’s always in a great mood. In addition to this, his staff is constant and the food is great. Now I’ve read a few reviews where people complained about the service and food, which surprises me since its a Buffet(i.e. serve yourself). Additionally, this is not a 5 star fancy french restaurant, its a Buffet for $ 7-$ 9. If you’re looking for a quick meal, low price and a nice variety, then this place is for you. Happy Unilocaling!

Food was ok. We got out of there real fast after a cockroach ran across our table. It was not clean and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The two stars are for great service and cleanliness, but the food is really not good. Very overcooked, possibly day old meats in a variety of very similar bland sauces. Even the soups were bland and watered down. If you’re forced to eat here with your older coworkers, just get the vegetable fried rice and top it with the sauce from the curry chicken(but skip the chicken). Also they serve Pepsi here, so…

I was half excited to try this place, i had heard some pretty decent stuff about it, but ended up with a major let down. The food was but truly up to as all, was typical cheap food that is meant to get you full if you can stomach it and pretty much nothing more. The service ok but not extraordinary or nothing like that, one of the guys that works there seems kind of ride but wasn’t my waiter thank goodness. It was clean for the most part but not fancy or nothing, honestly speaking i will not be returning ever if i can help it.

Don’t listen to all the noob buffet and/or noob chinese buffet Unilocalers, including the elites, sway you into thinking this is not a hidden gem, because it is. When you have been to at least 10+ Chinese buffets than you know what’s up. Summary: Atmosphere: 1 – 3 Food: 5(FRESH) Service: 5(Fine for a buffet) Value: 5++ First off, CHINESEBUFFETSOFTHISCALIBERCOST4 – 5 more dollars per person in California. SOALLYOUPEOPLEINALABAMASHOULDTAKEADVANTAGEOFCHINESEBUFFETSINYOURAREA. This applies to all the local chinese buffets. 10 – 11 $ per person is a win, particularly if you are a heavy eater. I’m going to be real with you, I’m from San Gabriel Valley in California, the mecha of chinese food. This buffet rocks all of the chinese buffets I have been to in the area. Some places that cost twice the price, have twice more the«suck.» Atmosphere: So it’s an average beat-up Chinese place, once in a while with beggars outside that can really ruin your day(odd story I don’t want to recall). Just be mentally prepared. If you go to small authentic Chinese food restaurants, this should not bother you. If you don’t… Then adapt. Food: The food here is VERYFRESH for a Chinese buffet. I have never seen Chinese food at a Chinese buffet look this fresh. You can safely try just about anything and be satisfied. Now, there are normally rules you follow at a buffet, such as NEVER eat heavy carbs(noodles/rice) so you can fill up on the good stuff and get your values worth. This is literally one of the ONLY buffets I will eat noodles, because they are fresh and have just enough flavor to not overwhelm other dishes. I broke the most sacred rule here; this has to mean something. Ok, so this place does not have crab legs, so why am I rating this place so high? It’s because the overall quality of their dishes is great compared to other chinese buffets. Doing less things right is better than more wrong. Service: They take your plates away quickly, what else do you need? Value: $ 11 dollars for AYCE(all you can eat) is always a win. ________________________________ So if you bothered to read all this, here are the secret tips that makes this place rate so high: 1. The crab-cheese wontons are the BEST I have ever had at a buffet: always crispy, always flavorful. Regulars here are addicted to these for good reason. 2. Catfish= extremely crispy and tender on the inside. If this had southern seasoning, this would be equivalent to what I buy in southern comfort restaurants. 3. The mushrooms are better than most other chinese buffets. 4. The steamed fish is fresh. 5. Their shrimp is good, as long as it isn’t over seasoned. 6. The noodles as I said earlier are really fresh.

We went in for lunch buffet on Sunday. While most buffet visitors are expecting like 90 entrees, Mr Wangs has about 40 for lunch. but I must say I would rather have 40ish FRESH entrees than 90 entrees that are flavorless or mushy. Lo Mein was nice and firm, not mush and had great flavor, every chicken entrée was very tasty. Service is fabulous, drinks refilled immediately, very friendly and engaging owner. We didn’t have a single item that was bland and that says a lot for a buffet. So the food is worth 3 –3.5 stars and the service and cleanliness is the rest. It was a lunch menu so no crab and none was expected. I would go back for sure

Find me a Chinese Buffet that deserves more than a 3 star review and you might as well have found me the Holy Grail. This is just like any other Chinese Buffet. You go in knowing what you are about to experience. They have all the standard entrée choices, soups, noodles, rice, ect… There is soft serve vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a nice happy ending ;-)
