China Buffet

I too my two kids and my hubby. The meal was $ 50 and all the food was cold. EXCEPT the sushi! The only nice thing was the receptionist. Very sweet lady. I unfortunately won’t return. Way too expensive for the mediocre-​at-​best food.

Mother of a special needs child and quadruplets… At first my husband and I were very impressed. We have 5 children, 4 that are quadruplets (3 yrs old) and one of them is special needs. They placed us in a back corner where we were alone and then placed another large party in the back right by us. Everything was fine and going well. Near the end of our meal the larger party complained about us. I’m assuming it was due to my son screaming at times. He tends to do that when he gets excited and my husband and I have to try and re-​direct him. It was pretty obvious and instead of being caring to our situation we were brought our check. I’m hoping that these god fearing people (talked about coming from church) read this and know that we are tourist and saw a nasty people side to Surprise, AZ that was uncalled for. I believe in karma and I also feel that have a right to eat out as well. We were paying customers also. I’ve never been more offended to be complained about and it’s the first time it’s ever happened. Shame on you for judging. The food was delicious and the waitress and hostess. We’re incredible and kind, until we got complained upon. We also went early for dinner (5 PM) hoping we wouldn’t cause any issues.

This is my new favorite place for Chinese food. They are similar to every other Chinese buffet out there but that’s a good thing. You know what to expect and you aren’t let down by anything. Lots of options and everything was delicious. I liked the custard and ice cream offered. I will definitely be going back for more in the future!

Like all buffets there are good items and there are bad. I find the sushi and the hot and sour soup to be consistent. The rest can be hit or miss, but of all the choices in Surprise this one is probably the better option. The crab legs have been hit or miss. The last time I has them they were cold and tasteless. This time they were still cold, in spite of them just coming from the kitchen. But at least they has some taste. So I guess go for the Asian food and don’t count on the crab.

Food is always hot. Pretty consistent with flavors. Clean. Nice balance of umami. Freindly courteous staff. Staff has never acted poorly towards my wife due to her disability that requires a special drinking device.

First off, we come here often and have enjoyed eating here for the most part, but now I’m not so sure we will be back. We ate here tonight and all of the food was pretty decent, but one of us got food poisoning from the raw salmon and/​or raw tuna.
We really look forward to the sushi buffet, but after tonight, never again!
Update: Two days later and still violently ill from the seafood from this place!

Best buffet!!! Crab legs huge never seen in buffets that size like weapons!!! Huge sea food selection! Clean! Friendly staff!

We go here all the time, food is great, and 2 kids and an adult is around $ 25, service is great and all the reviews that say «food was cold» is just because they came here at the wrong time (lunch late night around 9 PM)

Wife and I came here for the first time in about four years. We have been going to that other buffet on Reems because of the sushi and Mongolian barbecue but were grossed out for the last time. This place has changed a lot for the better. Really nice selection of edible entrees and sushi. Everything was hot and fresh on the night we went (Tues. 2\16). Veggies not overcooked, soup OK and egg rolls were um well, passable. They have a bean sprout dish that is really good. The sushi was fresh the night we were there but even though the raw oysters looked fresh, some nasty tasting green slime squirted out when I took a bite and I spit it out. Hepatitis served cold is worth avoiding. The egg foo yung and sesame chicken were good. I tried as many dishes as I could and was generally pleased. Oh yes. Good dumplings and sticky pork buns. The soups are OK and the wonton soup is well stocked with wontons. Not like that other place. Great variety but sadly no spare ribs. The deserts looked good but I was too stuffed to try any. The servers were very congenial, and the bathrooms were clean. I did not feel sick when I got home which is a huge plus for any Chinese buffet. Aren’t my standards high? I like this place and I will be back.

Very good a lot of choices, I would have given it 5 stars but our server was really nasty, rolled his eyes, yanked bill & credit card out of hand, first place in many years I have not left a tip, and I usually tip 20 to 25 percent, you loose in the end for being nasty. We will go back but will ask for different server

Always cold. It used to be our favorite place because of the great selection. But last two visits the food was cold.

Nov 4 2015 Been going here since it opened. Bringing family&friends. This night now being the LAST TIME EVER! Diet soda, looked like a beer on ice had no syrup. Had to tell server. By time I got new drink I was dine eating first plate of appetizers, that wr good. 2^nd plate: went for typical hot dishes w shrimp. Each one unedible! Like erasers! Noodles over cooked &gummy, didn’t eat. Fried rice burnt egg&dried up peas. I couldn’t eat nothing on 2^nd plate. My empty glass sat thr waiting for refill! Never did we get a refill! $ 3.00 for half a drink, rest was ice. Server took my debit card&I said wait! Use a complaint! He ran it anyways. I wanted to1meal comped, or the drinks at very least. I talked to a manager&explained all. Also how this was our 32 anniversary dinner. My husband was so mad about the food also&said let’s go. Not wanting ti try no other dishes. He had just fried shrimp&rubbery! I’m in middle of having major dental work. Many teeth pulled. My mouth just healed. So going for a fancy steak dinner wasn’t possible. We drove 1.5hrs to go thr! One way! Knowing thr be soft dishes I could eat. Instead I’m also sick to my stomach on long ride home! All night long &now it’s noon the next day&my intestines are paying for the small bite of something? I had to give 1star to continue w review. Otherwise none! I now understand why all the other China Buffets are CLOSING DOWN, In all other CITIES! DO NOT GO HERE! Used to send everyone to this place for many years. SADLY I’LL BE TELLING THEM TO STOP! Normally I wouldn’t bother w a review. I HAD TO, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR HEALTH&WALLET! SHAME on woman management blowing me off. Prob thought cuz my lower side teeth wr missing I was a piece of trash. looking for free meal. I was embarrassed enuf to be out in public until my dentist finishes my dental restoration. My husband said don’t be, let’s go out &enjoy ourselves&you don’t have to cook. Instead I’m sick&had to speak!

Won’t allow service animals, they are afraid a small service pug would gross out other customers I even offered to sit in the quite corner of restraunt if it helped the situation. Oh well didn’t get any food after a 40 min drive there then a 40 min drive back on an empty stomach. The guy did offer to go food but I lost my apatite.

First and last time. Poor service, bad tasting food with very low quality. We don’t expect much from cheap buffet, but food should be at least safe to eat and has a taste… Will never come back… They recently raise their price as well… The price posted on Unilocal is not accurate anymore.

Will not go back ever. …would not recommend eating here after 7 cause that’s the time I went… first off… food was cold and everything was hard… and they never would bring out fresh food we had to wait so long for something to come out. i ask three times for when is the food coming out .i thought this is a buffet but its like i had to order not kool its a buffet… chicken was hard. teriyaki chicken tasted old and nasty nothing taste fresh all over sat food cold… my wife said she came before earlier it wasn’t that bad but I think closer to closing after 7 they don’t like bringing food out .I got two plates and didn’t even eat it I took a couple of bits that’s all .not enough food .we sat by the kitchen. That was the nastiest kitchen smell in the world… it gross me and my family out so bad that my wife got sick from the smell… our water was dirty water and tasted like it looked nasty… it give one star for the ice cream that was good…

Reminds me of the Chinese food back home

Pretty good food, real ice cream, clean restaurant, friendly staff. Price was $ 50 for four of us.

For the price, I bestow upon thee, 5 stars!

I highly, highly recommend this place I can’t say enough. The food was hot and fresh the place was very, very clean also the people very friendly! It cost $ 30.83 for two adults. Will definitely be going back! We’ve tried several around and this place is the best.

Amazing buffet! We have been coming here for years. My husband and I like to consider ourselves China buffet experts (how sad is that lol). This is the cleanest, most consistent Chinese buffet we have been to in 20 years in Phoenix. We always take relatives and people from out of town here. The food is fresh. They are always adding new items. The sushi is much better than any other buffet. They make you a great variety of rolls, and they don’t skimp on the expensive ingredients. On crab night they keep the crab legs coming! We have never gotten sick, and we have never had any gross out issues here. The staff is friendly, and over the years they have gotten to recognizing us and our 4 teens when we walk in. We are customers for life!
