Buffet City

The food is general commercial grade. The place could be cleaner and but the service is fair. This is the least best «Chinese» in Laurel, and I would go home or to another in town or even Hattiesburg before I went here again. The price is not great for what you get in this smaller town market. It does offer some variety including American/​Mexican food but no frills. This mediocre Asian buffet loses points for jacking the price up on Christmas Day for a «Seafood Buffet» offering at $ 15+. I’ve eaten here several times but in no way would I pay that kind of money here at anytime. The last and final time and in fact the past couple of times I have been here I did not pay because I was a guest of family who likes the «gumbo». Funny, this time they said «You know this gumbo would be good if it wasn’t so salty.» I said, «So it doesn’t taste that great?» Response: «No.» The other diner in our party commented on how bad the food was as well. Said they had stopped eating here once before because it tasted so rough and now it was again going down hill. One thing I found interesting was that they had chicken backs in the wing container. I don’t mind chicken backs and as a Chef I know if you can use it and not waste it that’s great. Usually we use those in stocks for soup. But there it was, a split back section (no wing attached) and its partners. My dining party did not believe it so I brought a couple to the table. I think it was a little too country for them. I did enjoy them though but then I eat all kinds of offal. The problem is, the quality is very poor. The shrimp in the chili was old – not sitting on the line too long, but old as in NOT fresh. It was beginning to turn. And my stomach felt it. Other foods were similar in quality and had poor taste in general. It is disappointing to me that a place like this can actually bring in the customers and win the paper’s Best Choice award. The prices have also gone up recently and fluctuate often so you really don’t know before you ask. The fish tanks in front could use cleaning as well. They stink. As an entrepreneur I wish everyone the best. But if you don’t give a care about the quality of your product, why should anyone buy from you at premium prices? I won’t be back – not even for free.

Good service. Clean. The food was good. I’m never a fan of all you can eat joints. But I was impressed.

Very good food every time we come. Very good service. If something is missing they will go get it. Very spicy. Very peppery. Nice selection of fruits. I know a lot of people who eat here an love it. Great shrimp selection. Always fresh and hot. Very clean. Prices are good for this buffet. You can pick up a menu. Place a order. To come pick up also.

Very good Chinese buffet at low prices. I recommend. Buffet selection is large. Laurel is fortunate to have a good Chinese buffet like this.
