A good number of stations.
Meredith R.

With an early morning flight and nothing in the 'fridge, we needed to go out. The challenge: a restaurant where I wouldn't have leftovers. (I almost always have leftovers.) The solution: a buffet! I didn't have high expectations, but this place was pretty darned good. True test -- hot and sour, and theirs is great. Thick, spicy, and plenty of ingredients. I followed up with egg drop. (Don't judge me! I'm a soup person!) Buffet City has an extensive sushi/sashimi station. The fish was fresh (I hope!) and better than other buffets. The only thing lacking were vegetable-centered dishes. But that's okay. If you're a buffet-person, you might like it here. Plenty of non-Asian dishes, too.

This was our first time dining here. Upon entering, the restaurant looks appealing, but once you reach the dining area and see the food stations, it becomes discouraging. The cleanliness at several stations was concerning, and having cold desserts displayed alongside hot food does not make sense and could potentially be unsafe. The quality and taste of some of the dishes were just average at best. We decided to try the hibachi, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing--the chef seemed inexperienced, and the food lacked flavor. Overall, due to concerns with cleanliness, food quality, and food handling, I would not recommend this restaurant.

8 stations, hot grill and sushi

Best buffet in SwFl. Clean, tasty food, good service. Seafood- shrimp (5-ways), crabs (small), salmon, fresh oysters, mussels. Roast beef, ham, chicken- it's all there.

Way too many choices in food which I think causes the quality on some items to suffer.

Does China Buffett have all you can eat lunch buffet and how much does it cost?

yes, but I don't know the current prices...something north of $10 I would guess.

Golden Corral Punta Gorda 5-18-24: Stopped by for dinner at…read more4:30ish and this place was packed. The parking lot was full and once inside the right side of all the tables were occupied. From what I could see this place was clean and everything around the food areas were also clean. I have been to this place a couple times as my dad which is 92 loves this buffet and all the food choices. The main food bar is packed with all kinds of food items to choose from. To start at one end is Steak, Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers, Onion Rings, Ribs, Meat Loaf, Fried Shrimp, Chicken Wings, Fried Chicken, Bourbon Street Chicken, Pot Pie, Fried & Baked Fish, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Corn, Macaroni & Cheese, Rolls, Baked Potatoes, all kinds of vegetables this is just to name a few. On the Taco bar there is Taco Meat, Shells and all the fixings to make any kind of tacos you want. Now the salad bar is packed with all kinds of fruit, and they also have crab salad. There is so much to choose from and too much to name. The desert bar has all kinds of cakes and pies plus ice cream and some fixings for that. I use to get pie and bread pudding for dessert, it was so good. I don't care for the ice cream but others in my party loved it. I got the steak for the main course, and they will do it how you like it. The Steak was good, not too tough, and not too chewy, it was large enough. I always get the Fried Shrimp and Mashed Potatoes and they both were good and hot. I make sure I get some Pot Pie as it reminds me of back home. It was hot, full of Chicken and very good. I end up with the crab salad now its imitation crab but its good enough for me as I try to stay away from deserts. This place has never disappointed me as far as the quantity of food they have. It is a buffet and if you want a 5 diamond or Michelin star restaurant this may not be the place for you. If you want a large selection of food and food that is tasty this may be just the place for you. I say try it and draw your own conclusion. I give this place 4 thumbs up out of 5 just for the selection alone. I know we will be back soon. See You At My Next Adventure... Gulf Coast Terry

A big piece of Mahi, grilled (the other option is blackened) on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato and onion rings. It comes with Cajun Mayo on the side and fries. The fries were very good, probably double fried, nice and crispy. Our waiter was attentive and fast. There are signs not to feed the birds, for a good reason. Some were waiting on the railing to grab some left overs on an unoccupied table.

SWAAD INDIAN CUISINE, on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, a little over 30 Charlotte County…read moregirlfriends descended on SAAD Indian Cuisine for lunch WE CAME HUNGRY, AND THEY WERE READY FOR US! SWAAD...IS NOT FAST FOOD! Everything at SAAD is cooked from scratch and prepared according to your requests. So, if you're expecting to walk in, order, eat and be out in 45 minutes... This is the kind of place where you need to RELAX, order an appetizer, grab your drink, enjoy your girlfriends and LET THAT KITCHEN DO WHAT IT DOES BEST -- COOK! And once those beautiful plates started arriving...the aromas' of the dishes prepare filled the air of curry, and other spices that tantalized everyone's palate. OH. MY. WORD! Our girls dug in and loved their entrées! We had a little bit of everything -- shrimp, chicken, lamb, steak, delicious soups, flavorful rice dishes and naan loaded with garlic, butter and wonderful spices. Dishes like Butter Chicken, Goan Curry, Lamb do plaza, Mango Chuny and so much more! And, of course, what's lunch without their wide variety of wine, soft drinks and, naturally, Indian beer for an authentically Indian experience! That's the beauty of our CCGF lunches. We're not always in a hurry. We're there to eat, laugh, meet new girlfriends, catch up with old ones and enjoy the afternoon together. With 30+ girlfriends, great conversation, plenty of laughter and a kitchen cooking everything fresh to order, you might as well sit back and enjoy! Another CCGF lunch in the books... Another afternoon filled with girlfriends, giggles, great food and a whole lot of personality!

I just had a wild experience at Swaad Indian in PC…read more I ordered $74.51 worth of food at about 3:30 for a 5:30 pickup. We were so excited to try this place and have leftovers for lunches this week. I get there early at like 5:15 or so and head in. There was just one other guy there waiting on a takeaway order. I hang out and wait at the counter for several minutes. The lady finally comes out with his order and then to the counter and tells me they have no knowledge of my order. She walked to the back a few times, looked on a few phones and tablets, and finally just said they didn't have it and she'd have to ring up what I wanted and start over. Ok, fine. We're hungry but I get glitches happen. She can't figure out how to ring up what I ordered. She makes a few more trips to the back and finally just calls the owner and they sort out adding extra protein to the dishes. This takes several minutes. Then she claims they don't sell paneer biryani. I showed it to her on my order confirmation. She replies, "Are you sure?" like I just spent my time making a fake order or something. I chuckled and replied "Yes, it's right here on my order I just showed you." She just stands there... I asked if she could go ask whoever was in the back. She goes to the back again and returns several minutes later with a total over $80 for the same order I made that was $74.51 online. I pointed out that the price was wrong so she goes off to the back again for several minutes and comes back and says "It will actually be $78.xx, is that ok?" I again chuckled and said, "This is getting kind of crazy. Not only will my food now be very late, you're trying to charge me more for it. If anything you should offer a discount." I asked if she could just call the owner back and ask him what's going on. Now I'm on speaker phone with him trying to explain that the system was trying to charge me more for the identical order I made online. He was very argumentative which made it hard to explain. This took a comical amount of time going item by item with the prices on my order with him and he finally asked to speak with the cashier again. It was like arguing with medical insurance about an itemized bill or something... She takes it off speaker phone and they chat for a bit. She then looks to me and says, "He's says pay the new total or we will cancel the order." I said, "Are you serious?" and asked her to put it on speaker again. The complete lack of urgency, understanding, or shred of concern during my time there up until this point was crazy. I felt like I was on an episode of Seinfeld or skit from SNL or Punked. I said to the owner Joseph "As a business owner, are you seriously willing to lose a $75 order and customer over $3?" I explained I was new to the area and very excited to try his place after reading reviews and we would order regularly. He said yes he was and started arguing with me. I said "Well, you've lost a customer." He then started to yell and continue to argue with me so I said "F-you man" to which he replied "No, F-you!" as I walked away. The cashier looked up in shock when he said that to me. I said "I'm telling everyone about this!" to him as I exited. I take ownership of the first F-you and don't even care that he said it back. It was just over 20 minutes of insanity at that point and I was done. I'll also add there was nobody else in the restaurant. I was completely calm and tolerant and even chuckling about the situation up until then so it wasn't a scene or anything. This was a simple fix for any business. "Sorry our system didn't work, we'll get that started right away for you. Oh, what price were you quoted online? No problem, sorry about that. That'll be $74.51 and we'll toss a samosa in the bag for your troubles."
