China Buffet

First of all, the name of this place has changed to House Buffet, IIRC.
I had not visited this place for a couple of years, but decided to take my three kids to check it out. They have changed the interior from my last visit, as well as having more dishes available. They also have a sushi station where someone is actually making sushi instead of the four or so generic rolls they used to put out near the fruit. In all honesty, the sushi isn’t bad considering you’re at a Chinese buffet. Might have been the best part of our meal.
As with most buffets, you have to be selective. For example, only try the General Tso’s if it is fresh. If it has sat for more than 15 – 20 minutes, best choose something else. That said, there are a few things on the buffet that are guaranteed to be decent (chicken w/​broccoli, for example) and decent appetizers/​dim sum-​type options.
I have to compliment the wait staff for their patience with my children, especially my 2 year-​old. They made sure to keep an eye out when I left the table, and even gave him a ball to play with (and take home).

This is my favorite Chinese buffet. The only downside is that there’s not a lot of vegetarian options. I have a full review with pictures of the interior and exterior of the restaurant on my blog here: (

Yes, there are a lot of chicken dishes, but I love chicken. The honey chicken is the best. The waitresses are attentive and I never run out of diet coke to drink and empty plates never pile up at the table.

Anything I say about China Buffet should be tempered by the fact that the lunch buffet is $ 6.80, after tax. The prices go up on Sunday for the church crowd. While I’m sure it’s possible to find a cheaper buffet, I have yet to do so.
The food is generally hot, and the spread includes a decent selection: standard Chinese buffet fare (generally, entrees like General Tso’s Chicken, Beef & Brocolli, and Egg Foo Young, soups, some sushi, egg rolls, and crab rangoon) as well as a few oddities like onion rings and shrimp cocktails.
I have never gotten food poisoning from China Buffet, and never seen it closed by the health department. Therefore, given the price, it’s a bargain.
The only downside: I have yet to eat at China Buffet without being stricken by a food coma of epic proportions that leaves me incapacitated for most of the rest of the day.

They should really rename this place Chicken Buffet. The first row of foods we saw literally was dish after dish with the main ingredient being chicken. Honey chicken, pineapple chicken, chicken with broccoli, spicy chicken with mushrooms, bourbon chicken, chicken teriyaki, Korean chicken, General Tso’s chicken… and the next row had, you guessed it, more chicken! 2 types of chicken wings, chicken on a stick… Limited beef and vegetable options, and most of the seafood is either imitation crab or shrimp. They did have some crawfish when I ate here for lunch though, which was quite tasty. They have a decent selection of dessert, including ice cream, various cakes, canned and fresh fruits, and pudding.
For lunch it’s under 7 dollars and dinner is under 10. If you want crab legs with your meal it’s an extra 3 dollars.
