China Buffet

This place is the worst. Cold food, fatty beef and they overcharged me for the kids meals after asking their ages. Never again. Avoid this dump. Said they would issue refund for overcharging me and never did. Bunch of crooks, I’m sure they will be out of business soon. They deserve it.

If your are looking for a Asian buffet around the Sunrise area, I would recommend this place. It would be highly recommended if it weren’t for some small but very impacting factors. Every visit to this buffet has something different in store and during a couple of visits, I didn’t enjoy this restaurant as much as I hoped to, especially this time round. First off, I ordered a Sprite. Last time, it tasted like they put toothpaste inside my drink. This time, the first time the drink had no flavor whatsoever and the second there was a backwash of chlorine-​filled water. Yuck. Secondly, the «dinner-​only» shrimp isn’t worth the money. Some of them have a disgusting line going through them and some undercooked. As most people know, you don’t go to a Chinese buffet for the desert, but this place was especially bad. The mini eclairs taste like they were sitting on that counter ever since the restaurant opened. The watermelon lacks all juices and is flavorless. Don’t even get me started on the apple pie. The dough was undercooked and way too squishy and the apples were crunchy and sour. The fortune cookie was stale as a rock as well. But then again, all in all this place is all right. Plus it’s located conveniently next to Laser Quest. This is why I must give this place a 3 star rating.

This place is absolutely disgusting. I ordered from the regular take-​out menu and the meat was so dry & tough that I couldn’t even bite into it. They drenched the meat in sauce to cover-​up the dry meat.
The customer service was terrible also. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.

I ordered take out through the Unilocal24 app. When I went in to pick up my order, I was informed that they don’t take Unilocal orders. Then why is the establishment listed on the Unilocal24 app if they don’t take online orders? I ended up walking out without my order that I’d already paid for.

Hey people it’s a chinese buffet! For what it is i am giving it at least 4 stars. By comparison it’s about $ 7 bucks for lunch, where are you going with $ 7 bucks. Hmmm Let’s see, we can go to micky D’s and eat off the dollar menu. Any one have burger king or KFC or subway coupon? You’re going to have far better experience at China Buffet, even Chinese people go here, now that’s a sign. BTW kids under 12 are half price.
The poached salmon and steamed talapia is delicious.

for the food value and service you cant beat china buffet we ate there tonight everything was really good they treat you like family my favorite Friday night spot and ive tried them all this is my favorite

Food was plentiful and fresh. Food service area was very clean and appealing. Fried foods had a different taste that is difficult to explain, perhaps oil needs to be changed and a bit more spice.
Service was efficient.
Only reason not giving this is a five is the dining area needs updating to make it more appealing. Lighting gives this an outdated feel.
However, overall good value for the price although soft drinks were an extra charge.

My girl friend picked up honey garlic chicken for her and sweet and sour chicken for myself. The sweet sour chicken was terrible. It was very dry and it had no flavoring and there was also no sweet and sour sauce included. The chicken in the sweet and sour dinner was also very greasy and the rice was supposed to be vegetable rice but I had no vegetables in it. I would suggest no one ever take take-​out from this restaurant.
My girlfriends honey garlic chicken was also tasteless and had no garlic flavoring in it at all. When she stopped at the restaurant to pick up the food she said that the workers there were very rude to her but since she had to bring some food home she figured she’d go ahead that was our first mistake the food was terrible. We will not be ordering from this restaurant ever again.

Horrible experience! !! The food was terrible and we found a cock roach in the noodles! The manager refused to make a wrong right and made fun of my autistic child. My poor son has been confused for two days because he doesn’t understand why he was called an inbred retard. I can’t even believe this happened.

At a moment of weakness I decided to walk down the street and try this place out. It’s not a thing that a Chinese restaurant is walking distance to my home.
It was pretty empty inside so immediately I was scared.
Fortunately, the buffet was fresh and clean. I usually do a walk through before eating just to make sure things are on the up and up.
They are crazily over staffed but the service wasn’t that great.
Lunch was 10 bucks on the weekend so you really can’t beat that. That also includes drink and tax.
Some of the items I didn’t like, like the broccoli chicken but I found plenty of other things to eat.
It was your average Chinese buffet. If you’re feeling gluttonous go for it. But if you’re wasteful they will charge you 20 percent extra.

ZERO STARS!!!
I never really write reviews unless it’s something amazing to rave about, but this place was trash, I have to share…
Walked in and left soon after I sat down!
SMELLED DISGUSTING when you first walk in and they wanted to charge dinner rate at 3pm… really??!
When questioned about it, they started to give us attitude. DIRTY tables, chairs and food did not look fresh, looked like out of a can… GROSS!!!
DO NOT go here, it’s not worth it! I’m surprised health inspectors have not shut them down… place is a dump!!!

Just finished eating here. You can tell the food wasnt fresh, the rice wasnt like traditional chinese rice, the waitresses kept taking our plates before we were finished without asking. Pretty rude. I love fortune cookies, & all of their fortune cookies say the same thing so it kinda sucks. Never eating here again!

Most of the reviews for this place really make me laugh. You can’t possibly expect a 5 star restaurant when going to a Chinese buffet. C’mon. Haha! I mean this place is nothing more than what it is and my ⁴⁄₅ stars is a rating based on a typical/​similar type restaurant.
So here’s the reasons for my ⁴⁄₅:
1. The buffet area is clean and the food is turned over frequently
2. They offer respectable sushi assortment. One reviewer was quoted as saying her husband is a sushi connoisseur. Why go to a Chinese buffet if you are that into sushi? Maybe you should try an actual restaurant that specializes in sushi. Just a thought.
3. The staff is friendly and attentive
4. Reasonable price for what you’re getting
5. Low priced to-​go options (crab by the pound, etc.)
If you’re looking for cheap Chinese buffet style food then this is a place you would likely enjoy. Side note: the honey chicken is pretty good.

We just got back from eating here tonight. My husband and I went to china buffet with my mother. As soon as we got there we were seated right away at a table. It’s saturday night so of course the dining room is almost full. The waitress took our drink orders. The strange thing was she started to walk away before she took my husband’s drink order. Very odd. So we all proceeded to the buffet area to check out the food. They did have a big selection of food. We saw things like fried rice, lo mein, chicken terriyaki, salt and pepper shrimp, stuffed clams, egg rolls, french fries, chicken wings, crab legs, soups and much, much more. I always get hibachi for my first plate so I was looking for the hibachi station. There were no signs that said hibachi. We asked this guy that worked there where the hibachi was. He pointed over there. We saw a bunch of raw meat and veggies that you have to get yourself and bring it over to him to grill up. This is completely different then the other buffets we usually frequent.
Just as we were getting our food my husband storms over to us and says he’s not eating here. He said the sushi looks so bad that it looks like bait!!! My husband is a sushi connesouir and knows good sushi. It’s his favorite food in the whole world. For him to turn down sushi it had to be pretty bad. So he just ended up eating one plate of food of chicken and veggies.
My mother and I had two plates of food each. The food we had was hit or miss. Some things were really good but some things were really bad. We both loved the honey chicken. The service here was non existent. Our waitress never stopped by our table to see how we were doing. We had to keep flagging her down for more drinks, napkins ect…
The only good thing this place had going for them is their prices, however you know that saying you get what you pay for. It was only $ 10.99 per person for dinner however we all agreed we would rather pay alittle more and get better quality of food. They didn’t even offer desert here.
With my husband just sitting around complaining the whole time it was just a bad experience all together. Not going back.

Enjoy the Buffet. The food tends to turn over more quickly during lunch. I think they open at 11am. The lunch price can be under $ 10 with soda and a tip. $ 7 and change for the lunch w/​o tip.
There is an employee constantly cleaning (picking up spilled food) around the buffet bar area and replenishing the popular items.
Plenty of parking — the restaurant is housed in a strip mall. They serve a small variety of beers — domestic and imported.

Ate here about 30 minutes ago, and I can feel my body shutting down. My hands are shaky as I type this.
The restaurant is located in a nondescript strip mall right next to a laser tag arena. Looking back, I would have rather gone to the laser tag arena and have someone shoot me directly in the eyeball with lasers instead of eating at this buffet.
When you enter the restaurant you are immediately confused. The place looks fantastic. However, the whole time your eyes are taking in the sights, strange odors start to sneak into your nostrils. Odors that elicit memories of damp basements, old work boots, and dirty mop bucket water. At this point a smart man would follow his nose straight out of the place. I am not a smart man.
A positive part of eating here is that there is a large selection of items to choose from. A negative part of eating here is that literally none of the spread is even close to edible.
There was nothing in this restaurant that did not make me either gag while eating it or spit it out after a few bites. If I had to sum up the food in one word: slimy. Seriously.
I saw one poor, poor soul piling up mounds of the shrimp and mussels from the raw bar. I wanted to slap the plate out of his hand, grab him by the shoulders and shake some sense into him while shouting «Good God man! What are you thinking?»
The soft serve was decent.

ZERO STARS… TERRIBLE
First time at this place. It was convenient as we were enroute to Sawgrass Mall.
Place was very crowded.
Carpet smells like dank, dirty, old wet carpet.
ALL food stations unkept.
ALL food tongs filthy, slimy, slick with handprints and food.
No one was replacing them with clean tongs, as they routinely do at other buffet style places.
Staff handles table washing and clean flatware with UNGLOVED, unwashed hands.
Dirty dish room piled high with soiled plates in plastic bins with staffer standing there in open doorway, with no interest in moving the OVERFLOWING PILES OF DIRTY DISHES to the dishwasher, if there is one, in kitchen.
DISH ROOM SMELLS ADD TO THE DAN
Asked for clean spoon, she reached into flatware bin, located next to dirty dishes, discarded food and drinks cup and flatware bins, and handed it to me.
No gloves.
She had been wiping tables before and after.
Safety concern ref the sushi items.
EVERY SUSHI ITEM I TOOK WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE OR WARMER!
I tasted a couple of bites and set the rest aside.
I went up 3x more trying to find SOMETHING EDIBLE.
NO LUCK!
Sign at buffet says, please don’t waste food.
My response would be.,. Please don’t send me to the hospital because you don’t have any hygiene food prep protocol.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

Its been two years since I left the last review and we still frequent this restaurant several times a month. It is an easy week night meal that is very inexpensive. The choices vary and are very tasty, especially for the low price. Drinks are refilled promptly and plates are cleared right away. The staff is very attentive and extremely friendly, our daughter is treated like a superstar. They recently started serving beer, wine and sake. In addition to a large amount of buffet items, there is a selection of sushi, salads, soups, desserts, and a hibachi grill.

Big Chinese American buffet with lots of food — just none of it very good
Highlights; Hibachi (shrimp/​beef/​pork/​chicken w/​vegetables)
Roast Pork
Cold shrimp w/​cocktail sauce
pork eggroll
the other 50+ items mediocre. Lots of variety, (from Chineses standards like chicken and broccoli, to dim sum, to hibachi to fried foods to dessert) but bland and all pretty much tasting the same.
We went on a saturday and it was busy, so the food was fresh as it was replaced rapidly. Service was good, a bit slow on refilling drinks. The one thing i had a problem is was the heat in the serving area, and the smell of hot steam as the kitchen door opened was nasty.
I agree with most of the other Unilocalers — there are tons of other places to go for chinese food that are better. Dragon buffet may cost $ 5 more, but the quaility and flavor is 1000% better.

I really have to disagree with many of you. We think this place is great and the best of all the Chinese buffets in the area. We don’t eat fried food or even shellfish, but the Mongolian grill is one of the best. The meats are good quality and the veggies fresh and bountiful. I have two plates of stir fry (I ask for it to be made just with water, no oil or sauce, and it’s delicious, low fat and filling), a few pieces of sushi, some of the thin noodle with the egg dish (Singapore noodles), a bunch of fruit, maybe a little soft serve, and I’m done. For $ 6, it’s fantastic. We go here a
lot.
