Got here at 11am. They were completely set up. Food hot. Ready for us. It is a strip mall buffet. For what it is its fine. Quick easy food with many healthy choices.

I’ve been to many Chinese buffets and this one is near the bottom. Cafeteria Chinese food at its worst. I was suspicious of every bite I took, fearing it may have expired. One pork dumpling didn’t make the cut and was promptly spit into my cheap paper napkin. Sweet and sour sauce seemed to be watered down with something; not sure what. Even the crab Rangoon was disappointing and that’s a dish you can usually fall back on. They had mini egg foo young parties which were a nice surprise. They even tasted good, but unfortunately, the only brown«gravy» was next to the mashed potatoes and had more salt than taste. Dessert didn’t even sit well. Almond cookies were soggy and stale. Coconut macaroons were tolerable when dipped in my canned chocolate pudding. Hope I don’t get sick on the way home.

I wish they would change it up on their choices but I like the food. And the people there are really nice to us. They clean the tables really quick so I’ll plates don’t pile up. I’m always stuffed coming out of here.

So, we are spoiled by having been to really excellent buffets in other states. This buffet is average size, but big on price. Drinks are included. There was a variety to choose from — heavy on meat selections and low on veggie choices. The food was okay. Some things were pretty okay like the Mongolian beef and General Tso’s Chicken. These were actually spicy which was a nice change from the lackluster spicy items in some buffets. The drink selection was nice and it was nice to get your own drink and to refill it when you wanted so don’t leave a tip since the only service you actually get is the bus boy cleaning up plates. The crab was very over cooked as was the Teriyaki chicken. Lots of the appetizers were cold or very over-cooked. Skip the dessert island. Most of the items were just awful, but if you want a laugh, get the fortune cookies. Most of the fortunes are misspelled and offer really odd sayings like«You are contemplative and sanalytical.»(Fortune cookie spelling error, not mine.). All in all, for $ 13 a person, not worth it at all and we won’t be back.

Well this place is a lot different then others. I had a coupon for like 8 dollars that they send in the mail so I came here. It’s very clean. One of the cleanest and modern Chinese buffets I went too. Service was good. A lot of pluses here. However, I giving this place 4 stars because the food was not warm enough. Not a biggie though… it’s not like it was cold or anything. I couldn’t find the soy sauce either. Anyways this is better then that Hibachi buffet and I will come back some time in the future.

This is the first time I have been here. To start off, the staff sat in a corner of the place and talked so loud it was rude. Loud and shrill. I should probably move as far from them as possible. Next, as I went to get my food, they policed the tables, where ever I went. One lady did something and the staff lady yelled at her. All I could hear was the customer saying” sorry, sorry, sorry«all the way to her table. My goodness, did she spill or something ? Now the food, typical for this kind of place. Quantity but not quality. As other reviews the food was not hot. Room temp temperature at best. I would come back if my husband wants to.

Been years since I have been there and now remember why! This was really inferior. First helped myself to an Orange Crush soda from dispenser. It tasted really funky so set it aside. Went to different machine and tried a Sierra Mist. Yucky too. Maybe machines need cleaning or carbonation is not right. Next won ton soup. Won tons hard as a rock and broth tasted like lukewarm soapy water. Could not eat. Next tried hot and sour soup. Tasted like lukewarm soapy water. Could not eat. Next tried lo mein noodles. Not bad but lukewarm. Chicken and broccoli. Broccoli good but chicken had no flavor and was lukewarm. Pork and veggies, pork was rubbery but broccoli was good but was lukewarm. Chicken wing. Took one bite and that was enough plus was lukewarm. No thank you…

Ok, I’m not a food snob. I don’t need everything super hot, I’m fine with room temperature. I do expect taste, quality, value and general cleanliness for a return visit to happen. That said, this place is overall good. Nothing was mouth-watering great, but most was decent. Not worse than heating up frozen items from grocery store. BEST Butterfly shrimp was good, bordering on very good ! De-veined(I checked, it’s my pet peeve). Just like if you made it at home in an actual oven. When I come back again, I will make a meal of this. It’s worth the $ 8.89 I paid for lunch(w/tax) GOOD * Broccoli– From meat dishes(in sauce) * Mushrooms– Fresh tasting * Pepper pork– Most flavorful meat there * Hot & sour soup– Plenty of mushrooms, warm spices, slightly sour * Sugar doughnut– Sweet, oily & decadent * Fruit(cantaloupe, oranges, bananas) — Fresh * Fruit punch drink– Good, flavorful(specifically tried it because one reviewer said it was too watered down) * Coffee– Not better or worse than most diners DECENT(not great, but pretty good) * Chicken nuggets– Like McD’s(better than typical frozen) * Fries– Crinkle cut(similar to frozen) * Rangoon– Sweet cheese, crispy * Egg rolls(I prefer spring rolls, but they didn’t have) * Garlic bread(like frozen) * Desserts– Reminded me of store-bought European style cakes… not sweet enough for me, but decent BOO Nearly ALL meats… eat only if you just want to up your protein intake for the day… * Chicken– Tasteless or funky spices(grilled) or dried out(wings) * Beef– Barely better * Pork– Too chewy(but pepper made it tasty) * Sweet & sour sauce– Not sweet, fruity or anything else it should be * Duck sauce(packets) — Avoid at all costs, taste like plastic Note that I arrived at 12:00PM on a Saturday. Food was only out for maybe an hour. EVERYTHING tasted really fresh !! Note the times when other reviewers mentioned they were there, and the food was cold and stale. Lesson learned: Don’t show up very late at ANY cheaper buffet ! :-)

I’m not sure where to start. Customer service is unbelievably great. Everyone is very helpful and sweet, place is so clean that for a buffet I was very impressed. That’s where the 2 stars come from. I cannot say anything nice about the food. Today I tried some cold garlic bread, cold fried egg rolls, cold hard spring rolls and some baked salmon that was of course cold, and dry like it had been there for way to long. I figured I’d try a salad but the salad had some oyster that I guess someone had spilled in it by accident. Can’t blame them for that but after that, I just had to ask for my money back. My kids both said it was okay and a few things had weird tastes. Hopefully no need to visit a doctor soon but I hate to have to give a bad review to some great people. If you can pass this place up, do like the Nike commercial and just do it…

This place was filthy, and disgusting. Dirt, crumbs, garbage on the floor. The food quality was severely lacking. Made the mistake of confusing this place with another chinese buffet in the neighborhood. Never come here again. Made me feel like the worst daughter on what should’ve been a wonderful Mother’s Day.

This place was less than stellar. I came in around 600pm on a Tuesday evening. The place was practically empty. It is $ 10.49 per adult, and 2 children were about $ 8.00 each. Total bill was $ 27.00 which is a bit pricey for a buffet during the week. The food options were decent, but it was clear that the food has been sitting out for a while, without being changed out. My biggest pet peeve, they have mini crab legs, but no crackers to crack open the legs. You have to use your hands or your teeth. They have been sitting out a while, so they were very hard. I asked the waiter, and his response was«no, we don’t have those, but people ask all the time». Well if people ask all the time, why don’t you have it? Duh! The waiter was very quick to take the place off of your table, and not ask if you were finished with the food. I went up to help my daughter, and I came back to my table and the food was taken away. It’s not like this place was very busy. In summary, an overpriced place, subpar food, and lack of generally friendliness. I don’t recommend coming here, unless you have nothing better to do. Maybe lunch is better, since it’s a little bit cheaper.

1st time here and got it Togo… Great fried rice Great veggies and chicken dishes Seafood buffet PERFECT shrimp salmon etc The sauces were perfect not too salty The management or family that works there helped me like I was family… As a restaurant owner I’m very happy with the place, the food and staff… If you have had a bad experience in this place TRYITAGAIN… My food was a HIT!

I’ve eaten at some questionable places but dang. I’ve had $ 5.99 all the time buffets that were better than this. I used to go here in high school. Now, after returning here after living out of state for several years and trying better food, I am angry. I cannot believe I wasted all that time and money here! The interior is not all that bad but for a buffet that was around $ 25 for two people I expect a little more. It didn’t seem that dirty but it also didn’t seem clean. I didn’t think I remember ever seeing the back section of seating open even when it’s busy. There isn’t really a large selection of food. There is your typical buffet stuff and no frills. For the price I would expect a hibachi or something! Anything! They supposedly have crab legs but they never refill it. The off times they do it’s enough for a few people to grab some and it’s gone in an instant. People seriously wait for them to bring some out. Like in a line. Sadly, pretty much everything was inedible. It was gross how everything seemed to be at room temperature except the soup. The onions in the fried rice were hardly even cooked. There were tons of bones in the salmon. Everything was just ick. How this place is still in business and apparently doing pretty well I don’t know. I will not be back.

Let me start by saying 2 stars are very generous. If u are starving and don’t care about quality or temperature then this is your place. It was fine, nothing stood out and lacked variety. On the positive side, the place was clean and not full of children. As for the food, the lo mein was quite tastey and their sweet and sour was good. All in all I would sugest to go to panda express for warmer food at the same price

Chinese buffets are all Chinese buffets, but this is a good one. They keep a good selection of food, it’s clean and I haven’t had a bad service experience there. They do coupons which are good. I’m knocking off one star because I’m not certain that the dinner buffet is worth the increased price. But the frog legs they have at that time are great, so I dunno. Basically it’s this: if you want Chinese buffet food, go here. If you aren’t interested in eating at a Chinese buffet, then don’t! This buffet is SUPER as FUCK.

The problem with buffets is one of diminishing returns and Super China Buffet is no exception whatsoever. When a place tries to offer the widest array of food possible for any price, what ends up occurring is a middling experience at best. But there is no best to Super China Buffet. If anything, you can drop the«Super», because the place is anything but with a grimy interior and overblown prices that will leave you wondering why you shelled out for such cuisine in the first place. The«China» is justified because, realistically, there is some Asian food found amidst the cluttered, grotesquely disconcerting offerings. Whether or not there is anything redeeming, or worth eating at all, is a difficult decision to weigh. But, honestly, there isn’t. As with most places that feel the need to put«Buffet» in the name of their locale, the overall offering is mediocre at best, but will most likely result in leaving full of regret. To say that you should avoid this terrible place sounds like hyperbole, but feels like a bit of an understatement.

OK. I was planning to write a one-star review for this place based on the food. Then my husband reminded me that Chinese buffets(or any buffet for that matter) aren’t supposed to be amazing. They’re supposed to be cheap and kind of regular-tasting and filling and good for large groups of people. With that in mind, Super China Buffet is what it is – a typical Chinese buffet. I don’t know about ‘super.‘ Yet, the food snob in me(that’s what I’ve become these days) still wants to review all the terrible food I had. Since there were so many meat and seafood based dishes, I couldn’t really eat that much. And I had… Steamed broccoli — cold & tasteless. Fried shrimp — cold & tasteless & a lie. It was just fried. No shrimp. Vegetable fried rice — cold & tasteless. Butter potatoes — cold & tasteless. Green beans — warm & tasteless. Seafood delight — saucy and gooey but fine. Vegetable lo mein — decent. The only thing I got seconds of. I was hungry! A small salad bar with iceberg lettuce was also available. I avoided it. The deserts looked unappetizing. All I drank was water — I didn’t want to try anything else. The fortune cookies were plain(but had amusing fortunes). We also left with overstuffed stomachs and a food coma the rest of the night. Oh, and KIDSWEREEVERYWHERE. This is definitely a family-type joint. Come to think of it, I used to eat at Chinese buffets a lot when I was a kid. I loved all the food choices and the simple, yet delicious deserts(or so I thought back then). Now, my taste buds have evolved and I crave Thai and Indian food. Chinese food isn’t a preference anymore. This thinking made me realize that Chinese food is for kids. Thai food and Indian food is for adults. So I understand why my husband loves it here, he’s a kid at heart(I say that with a lot of love)! Despite the terrible food and kiddie invasion, the service here was actually pretty awesome — this is why my review is two stars and not one. The woman that seated us and gave us napkins kept clearing our table when we were done and checking up on us frequently. She even brought us fortune cookies instead of us having to go and get some from the desert area. How nice of her! The small amount of bills in our wallet can be better spent elsewhere; however, If you want to fill your stomachs with a ton of different food while managing your half dozen kids, come here. If you want good food, STAYAWAY.

I think any place with«buffet» in the title should just be avoided. Super China Buffet is no exception. Food was pretty icky — the taste was exactly what you would expect: Old Country Buffet x typical Americanized Chinese food. Blegh.

It’s definitely a Chinese buffet but not quiet super. They might be getting a little ahead of themselves with the name Super China Buffet. First, Super China Buffet does not offer sushi, crab legs, or Korean BBQ. But for only $ 10 a person, did you really think that you would be getting all of that? The truth is that there are two other buffets that are less than a mile away where you can get all of that but expect to pay around $ 25 a person. If you aren’t looking for those items but instead want to enjoy plates of crab rangoon and General Tso’s chicken for more than half the price, then Super China Buffet is your place. I admit that the quality isn’t the best but it still satisfied my craving. There were plenty of options to choose from and some surprises too like frog legs and crawfish. The people that come here with high expectations will be disappointed. For the rest of us, we know exactly what we are getting for our $ 10 and enjoy six to ten plates of Chinese food or whatever else lands on our plates.

This is a spot I hit up with my lunch crew on occasion, today being one of those occasions. Admittedly, this is a place we go to once every 4 – 6 months because it sends us all into an extreme food coma for the rest of the day. Their food is so fattening and not necessarily the best in taste but it accomplishes it’s goal — filling your face with sub par Chinese food. It’s always pretty empty when we go on weekdays around 11, but the people that are dining there are usual creepers. It makes for a fun experience. :P Today was no different. I must say we had no problem getting our table cleared quickly as some others have commented. They had a couple new choices today… cheese sticks and chicken nuggets! Perfect for a Chinese buffet, right? Well they actually were good but they were obviously just frozen ones. Good nonetheless. Today I commented on all of the food being a bit better then usual which surprised me. The great thing about this buffet is they just have tons and tons of choices… I actually LIKE their sweet & sour chicken. I wish they had better dessert choices though… the ice cream is grainy and I just usually skip that section.
