Chen’s Chinese Buffet

The most terrible Chinese buffet I have ever been to in my life. Seriously, for gods sake, do not torture your family by taking them there for a meal. There is no salt or spices on any of the food, including the dishes which are supposed to be spicy. They cook all their dishes, apparently, for the average 90-​year-​old Snowbird who comes there to visit for a few months of the winter… If I wanted food that Bland I would check myself into a nursing home and eat in the cafeteria. Seriously, just catch a stray cat, fry it up, and throw it over some rice and you will have a better dish than you can get at this place.

food was fresh, hot and delicious. waitresses were not all that friendly. place was clean and quick checkout. will definitely eat here again.

The worst Chinese buffet I have ever been to. We went for dinner and I think the food was left over from lunch. Everything was cold and old. They were suppose to have crab legs on the buffet but did not refill the empty container. I had to ask 3 times if they were making any because it was empty when we arrived. I asked the waitress to at least reduce our bill. Don’t bother going. !

Wish I could give this zero stars. All of the food I had was cold and flavorless. If you can believe it, I watched the employee put out brand new sweet and sour chicken so I grabbed some right away… it was cold. The closest you’ll get to crab legs is drinking the water from the empty pan, if you can watch the buffet and score a couple legs, expect half of them to be empty. I’m not sure how it’s even possible to make spicy sour soup taste like nothing but I’m impressed. The final straw, I thought the ice cream would make up for the horrible food so I filled up a big bowl of strawberry. Turns out it was ice milk, and it didn’t even taste like strawberry Left the restaurant hungry and with a stomach ache, please pick somewhere else.

Just average Chinese buffet. Some items good, others not so much. Grill is very good. Sushi just so-​so. Egg rolls average. Some of the meat dishes tasted a bit old.

I was not impressed with this buffet. The food was bland and limited with choices. I won’t return

The staff here is awesome. Super friendly gentleman saw that I had a stroller and he opened the door for me. The buffet looked super nice when you walk in and the restaurant smelled delicious but, the place really needs a good cleaning. The seats have tears and rips in the cushions that my kids started to pick at before I told them to stop. The light switches leading into the back are brown from all the dirt. I thought that the little window on the door was tinted opaque but it was the amount of grime on there that made it seem that way. They were playing their typical cultural music, which I love but what I was missing was their beautiful artwork on the walls. I feel like at one time this restaurant was on and popping but that now they have lost their fire. I do have some positive notes! The grill guy was really quick when making the food. The sushi was nice but it would have been better if someone was there to make a special roll. I was fully prepared to tip them too. My boys tore up the pizza, chicken, and ice cream so I’m assuming those were awesome. All this place needs is a good amount of scrubbing and some love put back into it.

Went for lunch buffet. Good Chinese buffet with very nice service that kept my water full and smiled the whole time. When you go to a buffet like this, I fell like you know what you want, which is a lot of decent food for a little price. This is exactly what I got here. The sushi was good for a buffet, can’t expect too much from sushi for a $ 6.99 buffet so don’t expect any sashimi. The salmon was actually very flavorful. The food overall was good. Will definitely go back. Great deal.

Been here plenty of times since we moved down to Naples FL, the décor and condition of the place is nothing to brag about. However for the price the food is pretty decent and fresh. They also have a create it your own noodle area where you pick the noodles and meats and veggies and the chef will cook it for you right there — big fan. You can come here for lunch — take out or sit in; they have hot food, salads and desert. It’s definitely worth it for the price just doesn’t pay too much attention to the décor.

I I went today, it was pretty expensive it was 14 $ (for a buffet) and today is a Sunday, the food was good I had a lot of vegetarian options and the service too (they only got us drinks and never came back to ask if we wanted water), until I got my check and the guy wouldn’t go away he kept checking if we were done and it was rude and we had only been there for about 20 mins (we did not ask for the check either we were just talking and eating it felt rushed) and then they kept speaking Chinese which made me uncomfortable cause I felt like they were saying bad things (she was taking our plaits and talking so it was directed to us who do not speak Chinese) and when we paid and left the lady there took the money rudely we said thank you and she didn’t even look at us just stood there to clean the table when we left. Food was good but service really wasn’t nice.

They good, their egg tar are awesome! Their don’t have a lot sushi, but, what they had were all good enough for their price!

Our family went for lunch and arrived at 3:30. Lunch was over at 4. At 4:30 my husband wanted to get a slice of watermelon and was told by a staff member that it was dinner time and couldn’t get it. My son ate watermelon for lunch so it wasn’t a dinner item. My husband tried to explain to them and they became soooo rude. Our waitress didn’t speak English, so we are definitely not going back!!! Don’t waste your money!!!

I would not go back. Much of the food was barely edible. If you like Chinese food this is not the place to go

I’m not a big fan of Chinese Buffet’s in general, but this is one of the best I have been too. They have a huge selection. Its very clean inside. Everything looked fresh. They were quick to pick up old plates and get me drink refills. If your in the mood I would say go for it.

The food was cold, and almost everything tasted off. I went there with my boyfriend over the weekend. We left at least half the foods on our plates after 1 bite, which is saying something for two hungry teenagers. Even the rice and eggrolls tasted funny. I’ve never been to a less appetizing buffet. Lots of dishes were empty, which is why we were suprised to get a bill for over 30 $ for two buffets and 1 drink. I would have rather gotten *gasp* McDonalds. Even that crap would have tasted better, and been half the price.

Buffet schmuffet.
We went to Chens Buffet for late lunch $ 6.99. I was pretty happy to see that the restaurant was still busy when I first came in 1:30pm food was plenty warm and service areas were wiped down. The hostess was very nice and welcoming. In fact all of the staff were attentive and friendly. The mens washroom was very clean.
I’m not much of an expert for Chinese food so I really depend on the little tag to know what I want to try. 70−80% of the items were labeled. The salads were fresh. On this day. «Me so hongry!» I was excited to go get my food bag on, with a good appetite. But I was not too impressed with the food as there were more misses than hits. The seafood choices baked salmon? White fish, only two choices for mussels fried shrimp was 75% greasy breading. Not very appetizing. The chicken for general Tso was good and pepper steak was tender with good flavor. No fried fish? The sushi chef was a nice touch with a good selection. The chinese pizza and crinkle fries looked limp and sad. The fried chicken was very hard and not very moist at all.

After eating here I would have to say meh. I have had far better buffets in the past but the staff and service here was great. The food quality could use a bit of work.

Good typical Chinese buffet plus is inexpensive.
Best Chinese buffet in Lee county.
Hard to find good Chinese food in SWFL.

From the perspective of take out, this wasn’t the worst Chinese food I’ve had but this certainly wasn’t the best. Seems like its the only local game in town right now though.

Food was good and the variety was there for lovers of chinese food. They did have crab legs the night I was there and they were very tasty. Service was good and they did keep all the dishes full even though we were there right before closing. I would say if you have a taste for Chinese food and like variety this is the place to go in my search of the Naples area for good Chinese food.

If you are into this kind of stuffing your face with average variety, you will like it here. This is directly off 41, self standing typical chinese buffet.
Clean, efficient.
What can I say? Good for spreading more American chinese/​sushi eats, not much for others in search of something authentic and unique. Disappointed in only 2 dim sum items and the price for dinner was high for its value… $ 12 on weekends and holidays, includes Fridays.
Go for lunch, it is around $ 7. The extra star is for buffet lovers.
