Spinach bun

We brought our elderly family members and children to dine together, and everyone was extremely satisfied. The elderly enjoyed the seafood, while the children were so captivated by the chocolate ice cream that they couldn't walk away. We adults, on the other hand, could indulge ourselves. The environment was lively but not noisy, and the waitstaff were very patient with the children. Each member of the family got what they wanted, which is probably the greatest charm of a buffet!

The ice cream is good at least?

He took the drink orders and left. We had to figure out what to do. After the drinks were brought out no one checked on us or asked if we needed anything. This young lady did bring us the bill. I tipped them anyway even though the service was less than the bare minimum. The food was fine. I started with the habachi grill. She cooked it very well. But she didn't speak. She just looked at me. I handed her the plate and grabbed her attention to give her the egg. I tried a few things off the buffet. The Thai chicken partially was too tough. It was up there too long. The black pepper chicken was good. But had too much black pepper. There is plenty of parking.

The first time they come to the table I always, now, ask for our check so we don't have to wait the 10-15mins after we're done. The employees are just non-existent and ghosts while you are there. The food is fine, I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of five. I really appreciate the hibachi grill part of everything. The ingredients seem to always be fresh and plentiful. The sushi they have gets a 2.5 out of five. It's fine, give it a go, just don't be in a rush

Happy China is an institution in Saint Louis. Before you read my review, you have to understand…read morewhere I come from. I grew up in St. Louis, and Happy China was our go-to buffet from ~1990 until I left for university in 2001. I ate there at least twice a month on average since I was 8 years old. I brought my first dinner date to Happy China. both me and my sister celebrated our Bar/Bat Mitzvahs there with out of town family and friends. Chef Pa once came to my table and taught me how to make potsticker sauce. There was rarely a Christmas our family couldn't be found enjoying the delicious food. And they knew me - I was "diet coke, no ice", my drink order. It was adorable. After leaving for university I found fewer and fewer reasons to go "home" to Saint Louis, but the highest ranking of them was to revisit the Chinese buffet that started a lifetime love of Chinese food for me. They have a super solid rendition of Crab Rangoon, General Tso's Chicken, Orange chicken, Broccoli Beef, Fried rice, Chow Mein, and pretty much every other Americanized Chinese dish you might expect, but there are two dishes that deserve special attention. The first dish that makes me crave Happy China from across the country is the potstickers. Their potstickers are truly unique. The texture and flavor of filling is unlike any other potstickers, sorta like a very moist meatball in a thicker-than-average wrapper. They have a perfect char on the bottom, I think they maybe use minced scallions in the bottom of the plan to accentuate the crust or something like that. It is magic. The far and away winning dish, however, is the special house beef. I have eaten Chinese food in Seattle, San Francisco, and all over the US, authentic places in China towns and little known hole-in-the wall joints as well, but I have never encountered anything like this dish. The texture of the beef is *incredible* - I presume they do some extreme velveting process - and the sauce is sweet and peppery but not too spicy, and has notes of ginger, garlic, and scallions. I apply special house beef to my plate like paint - first a base coat, then my potstickers and general's chicken, then a second coat of special house beef to let that tasty sauce infuse everything with the flavor and aroma of Asian cooking at its best. When a once-every-20-years-or-so eclipse comes along and gives me an excuse to be in STL, I'm not going to pass it up, so I was able to go to Happy China last week, for the first time in ~8 years or so. I learned that Chef Pa and his wife took a much deserved retirement and the restaurant was under new management, but with the same recipes. I was a little worried from some of the recent Yelp reviews I saw, but also optimistic and hopeful. I can report that one thing has definitely changed at Happy China. I am no longer "Diet Coke, no ice", I am now "Diet Pepsi, no ice". Other than that, I can confidently say that any divergence from the old recipes were temporary adjustments. Things are nearly identical to what I remember. The potstickers were just what I expected, the Crab Rangoon was still perfectly gooey in the center and crispy on the sides, and most importantly, that special house beef was just what I needed. The service was friendly and attentive, they kept my drink full, and when I cleaned out the special house beef they already had another tray on the way to replace it so I could get seconds. I also felt like the price of the buffet was a very good value - I live on the west coast now so maybe my sense for cost of living is out of whack, but the buffet price seemed reasonable and the cost of a take out container seemed even more reasonable (had to take some back for my wife!) As an aspiring chef who can make a pretty mean Broccoli Beef, I would probably pay $1000 for the recipe for that special house beef, and I would sign an NDA if needed. (Attention Owners of Happy China - this is NOT a joke. Please email me - cmyers at cmyers dot org). If I'm honest with myself, there was one other difference I noticed at Happy China - I was there on a Sunday night for dinner and there were only a few other tables filled. I know restaurants in general do a lot more to-go business these days and I can't imagine how that must have impacted buffets (buffets are rarer on the west coast, it is more of a Midwest-Americanized-Chinese thing). If you live in Saint Louis and you aren't making a regular pilgrimage to Happy China, you are missing out. Please sustain this institution for the next generation and the next one after that.

The food was not good to me at all. Everything was off except the sushi…read more The buffet is about $30 for 2 with no drinks. The service was good for a buffet and it was quite with decent soft music playing. But that was as good as it gets for me. I would skip this buffet all together, you are better off somewhere else.

The cooks on the hibachi grill seemed very tired and worn out. Nevertheless they were pleasant. Our server was fine as well. In addition to the the grill buffet which was $18.99 for the weekend, came with a soup or salad. One guest got the garden salad which looked good however those of us with the Asian salad didn't care for it. It was sloppily prepared with big lettuce chunks and overly sweet with the addition of mandarin oranges. I exchanged mine for the egg drop soup which tasted exactly like Campbell's chicken noodle soup. It even had the little carrorts in it like the Campbell's chicken and stars or whichever has the little carrorts in it. Clearly they removed the OG pasta, used the broth and added some very thin shreds of egg to it. We ordered a side of crab rangoon which was plentiful for $8.99 but was not to my personal liking. It was doughy and had an unbalanced flavor missing the slight notes of sweetness typically associated with this dish. The path to the restroom was a complete appetite killer between the food, bleach, and dark and smelly restroom. Overall I'd say if you've never been give it a try, but it's not someplace I'd want to frequent.

The hibachi cooker spent the entire time on his cell phone while scratching his neck, face & arms asking continuously, "spicy , not spicy." The stir fry was overcooked. Our waitress did not wait. We had to clean our tables due to the plates piling up. We were not asked if we wanted a refill on our drinks the entire time we were there. She walked past us with a scowl on her face like we had stolen from her. She never introduced herself to the table. The food was okay but not worth the price. We waited 15 minutes for the check, she never brought it. We walked to the front and I asked the manager for the check and he directed me to the young lady at the register. Out of nowhere, our NON-waitress threw the check on the counter. All we could do was look at her. The entire time we were at this establishment, there was no interaction with the waitress because she never came to the table. I normally leave a 20%-30% tip but today it was Zero. Needless to say, I will not patronize this restaurant again. I had to give the restaurant 1 star because there wasn't a box for zero.
