China Buffet

This is by far one of the worst restaurants I have ever visited.
My husband and I stopped by after a long trip to Target. We were hungry and planned to try Old Warsaw but were scared off by the packed parking lot. Perhaps the empty-​ish lot at our choice was a telling sign…
The décor was dated but exactly what would be expected for an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet. We didn’t have high expectations for the food but were disappointed.
The fried rice and chow mein (lo mein?) were flavorless. My husband thought that the orange chicken had a strange aftertaste. A few of the dishes I tried were cold.
My husband made a meal of random bites of chicken and hard boiled eggs. I ate bits of various dishes before giving up.
The restaurant was family friendly: lots of pizza, chicken nuggets, fries, etc. There were also (limited) salad options and a few types of sad-​looking sushi.
Upon getting our first plates, it was clear that we would not be returning. For $ 18 and change, we would have been happier almost anywhere else.

First time at China Buffet after a funeral. Looks like a typical restaurant but the food reminds me of the early China Buffets — good quality and variety. Sushi and desserts were unique. Didn’t get a chance to try many of the foods since we were catching up with guests. Will definitely return for a second trip.

It’s not bad! They could use some fixing up here and there and maybe a little bit of cleaning. Though I think some of the food makes it up for it. Not everything, I wouldn’t recommend every single item, but I liked some of them a lot. Other than that I like the atmosphere and enjoy eating here.

Revisited this buffet after a time away. There were tacos on the buffet which were a nice change, though the taco meat wasn’t the best quality of ground beef. A very friendly worker named Victor — usually the dishwasher — said that tacos are available on weekends only.
The only problem was the worker who brings the sushi out most days, dishwasher on the dishwasher’s day off — apparently. He has an extremely bad attitude — acts like he hates his job and hates the customers even more. Considering telling management about the concern with this worker, he was asked what his name is. Found out that he lied and said his name is «the name of another worker!»
He probably thought there would be complaints about him, so he gave the other guy’s name instead of his. So, not only does this sushi guy act like he hates his job and the people who patronize the place, but he stabs his fellow-​workers in the back, too — so to speak. The guy needs to be at the end of a long unemployment line!

Horrible food, horrible service. The food was very bland, and not a huge selection. Half empty food pans were unappealing. Only thing that I did eat was fruit. Bread was cold and hard. NEVER coming back. Not worth the $ 23.96

Food is good, and consistent, it isn’t like the last coca-​cola in the desert, but it’s good, staff is friendly, we’ve been regulars for about 3 – 4 years. My kids love it! The place kind of big and very peaceful. I would recommend this to anyone any time! Prices are reasonable as well!

Never again! It looks clean, but the food is horrible. Worst of all their rice pudding had gone bad! The only redeeming quality item was the almond cookie, because I don’t think they make them there. It’s cheap for a reason, save yourself the headache, stomach ache and creeped out feeling about the food.

I went here a few years ago when i moved to the area. The food was cold and tasteless. The restaurant was not clean and the staff don’t want to be bothered…

Not what I expected. It looked clean and nice, however the food did not taste good. Tried several items on the Buffett. All of it did not have any distinctive taste. From meal items to dessert. Only thing that we enjoyed was the watermelon and ice cream.

In driving through the suburbs with a friend of mine on night we were looking for a new place to stop for dinner. Finally when driving I heard him exclaim «There’s a Chinese Buffet». We decided to stop and give it a try. The place was simply called «China Buffet» with no mention of dragons, woks, or regional areas of China in the restaurants name.
In walking in, I wouldn’t say this place was the cleanest in the world. But the price was reasonable at around 11.00 plus tax and the selection was pretty decent. In looking over the buffet bins I picked out a variety of chicken and sea food dishes. A lot of the chicken dishes were pretty decent, a few were a little on the bland side but not too bad. The seafood was a bit of a mixed bag and some things were not as hot as I’d like to be eating.
My impression of the food was that it was better than most as far as taste goes for buffet food. The freshness and overall cleanliness of the restaurant left a little to be desired. Overall while not the worst buffet I’ve ever been to, the actual taste of the food wasn’t that bad. I’m going to give this place three stars for overall value. The food wasn’t bad, it wasn’t unreasonably priced, and while it wasn’t the cleanest and the food might not have been served piping hot, I felt it was worth the price as what food I got tasted good enough to justify the cost of entry.

Worst buffet i ever had save your money!!! The food is old and cold. The crab legs tasted freezer burned. Bathroom are filthy.

Why did I make this choice?! Regret after the first bite. Don’t waste your money.

What you would expect.

This place is OK – mostly I went there because my grandkids liked it. The food tends to all taste the same, but there is a large variety.

Let me start by saying I am not the buffet type but I went here for lunch with a gf because she LOVES this place and it was her birthday.
The first thing I noticed as we walked in is all the nick-​nacks you can purchase right at the register. I guess while you are buying your meal ticket you can also pick up a small purse or hair accessory. wtf?
You can seat yourself so we chose a booth by the window after passing table after table of old people getting there eat on. We set our things down on the sticky green colored table top (I assume they are supposed to look like they are made of jade) and proceeded to get our food.
As I looked at the 3 rows of food options I had I instantly started regretting agreeing to take her here. Nothing looked good under the heat lamps but I ended up with a plate of white rice and teriyaki chicken. They had a wide array of other chickens in sauces as well as ribs, onion rings and even sushi which I didn’t dare try. I ate my meal which wasn’t bad as I watched my gf devour her first, second and even third plate of food.
I’m giving this place 3 stars since she loves this place so much and because the staff was very friendly and quick to clear plates. I’m guessing if you are looking for an all you can eat eatery in the area this will work for you!
Oh and if you really want some buffet food but don’t have the time to sit down you can purchase food by the pound, they have a giant scale to measure it by.

While visiting Target in the area, the hunger monster attacked and for some reason the word «buffet» seemed like a good idea. Why?!
It’s kind of like drinking. You’re having a good time and boozing it up with friends, you seem to be having the time of your life, you’re feeling good, fun times all around! BUT THEN the dreaded morning after.
«why did I do that» is all you can think.
A hangover. This place is a hangover.

I have worked within about 200 yards of this place for the last five years or so. To somehow avoid this place for so long, when the only other lunch time options that are remotely close to my office are McDonald’s, Subway, and a hot dog stand literally located inside the Home Depot (which is surprisingly good by the way) is probably a testament to the quality and the experience of the food, and the reputation this place has.
Now I realize why that is so.
I typically never go out to eat, opting to (no, practically being forced to) get food to go and eat in the office on those rare days when I can afford to actually take a lunch. Therefore, the thought of going to a buffet or any other high consumption type of sit down place was out of the question.
That is until very recently, where I had the chance, for about an hour, to get out of the office, work on some things away from the staff who bombard me with constant questions and requests. I figured it would be the perfect time to check this place out– sit down with a little bit of work, collect my thoughts, eat a bit, work a bit, drink some tea, and actually try to enjoy my lunch hour.
Approaching this part of a disjointed strip mall– you can’t quite tell what this Chinese buffet is going to be like. I have been to a few buffets in my day– specifically a few Chinese buffets and have found some that are either tolerable, or even good. One thing seems to be standard with all of them (other than in Vegas from my experience) — the décor and atmosphere is not what you are there for– just the food.
This place really isn’t any different in terms of the décor/​look/​feel, except for one blaring problem (in my opinion of course): the all encompassing, overbearing, and loud play of Radio Disney throughout the place.
Seriously– I heard all the «hits/​shits»: Its a Small World; Whistle While You Work; When You Wish Upon a Star; Little Bunny Foo-​Foo, and I am sure a couple more that my brain has been able to diligently and finally cleanse from my memory from a few days ago.
It would be one thing for me to stop there, and this is enough to turn me away forever. The food though… That was equally as tough to swallow– literally and figuratively.
First rule in a hot buffet– make and keep the food HOT! Everything I tried was either room temperature, or barely luke warm. Even if I did have a microwave handy at my table– the food would have been bad. Someone in the kitchen is in charge of the salt shaker, and that person has a bad case of the shakes or something– because EVERYTHING was over-​salted.
I realize this could very well be to mask the poor quality of the food– but I almost felt sick after the half of a plate of food I had, and I am pretty sure it was from somehow consuming about 23 times the recommended daily amount of sodium for a normal person’s diet.
I feel pretty bad knocking this place like I have. I do tend to like buffets for what they are. This one is cheap too. On top of that they offer more than Chinese and have a pretty big display.
It just all was, unfortunately, inedible in my opinion.
Oh– and I am hoping for the sake of everyone that works there, that they are completely deaf, because dealing with Radio Disney for hours upon end is no way to exist in this world…

This is another good buffet if you don’t mind those fast food-​like «Super Buffets.» I’d probably give it more like 3 ½ stars. Before finding a place like Q. Q. or Buffet City, I’d go here a lot. It’s probably in the same league as Cicero Buffet. Nothing to go out of the way for, but if it’s convenient to get to, go for it.
