Not sure what to expect for a Chinese buffet in Arkansas. I, however, visited for dinner with a group of 9 and was seated at the habachi table so convenience wasn't in our favor. The food was nearly inedible for my taste. Fried chicken along with the fried fish, and ribs were way too rough. Almost like they've been sitting out since their lunch rush that couldn't finish the batch. I opted for items that needed to be fried to make sure I had no need to be "indisposed" but even those items were not edible. I really wanted to like this place but after one dish, I seriously couldn't even. Others noticed at my party and although I tried to play it off that I was too enamored with issues that were out of my control with work, I very much did chew and discarded food. The only items that I liked were the steamed white rice, honey (no walnut) shrimp, and crab Rangoon. read more

Happy to post another review for Chef Lee. We often go because the food is good and the prices are reasonable. My only complaint, they are not open more days of the week. read more

The food use to be really good. I guess it's time I put them down. Food is no wear near what it use to be. Goodbye Chef Lee

This is a classic out dated Chinese buffet and hibachi spot. It is perfect for a quick lunch option. I was very impressed with the lunch portion size, specifically the vegetables! The food was very flavorful. I honestly did not need to use any shrimp or ginger sauce. If I ever return to Pine Bluff, I would be a repeat customer. read more

Variety of good hot food. Friendly service. The food had good taste and plenty of it. Dessert was awesome

Outside of them sitting black people together in the back. It's a good selection rice and noodles are great and side meats are good but it's not a lot to choose from honestly. They were very watchful of diners to make sure they pay but it may be because it's pine bluff. Either way it ok but not worth the vibe you get when you go in . But if you need your fix and want buffet go here and enjoy. read more

This is a cheap buffet. Low quality tasteless food. I've been twice, but it's definitely not for us.

I dunno what the deal is with today. It's literally right after work when they should have fresh food but today it was horrible. Wonton filling tasted rancid and shell was stale, the fried sushi they have had to have been sitting out for a while now. My mother has to ask for fresh seafood casserole and pepper chicken. I have no clue what's going on but now it's not worth the money at all. : went back for dessert to get the $47.50 (for three people) worth. read more

Chef Lee - Coffee cakes :( - Chinese Near Me - Pine Bluff, Arkansas

I normally go there around 11:30 am for lunch. By going at this time the buffet is hot and plentiful. I have been many times in the past and it has always been good. There are many varieties to choose from, so you have options. Most of the workers speak broken English at best. The ambience is that of a typical Chinese restaurant. They do need to do some deep cleaning. One of the workers, Nina, always recognizes me. She is always nice. read more

Food is really good They have a large variety of all kind of foods to choose from they have a place for large groups too

Value Veggies a definite plus... I ordered the Mixed Seafood dish with Veggies (S2-I think) and He got a combo with chicken fried rice, pepper steak, salt and pepper wings, and it came with 2 egg rolls. Both dinners had huge portions and totaled $24. My dish was huge with broccoli, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, onion...Yay 4 Veggies! The seafood was scallops, shrimp, and the one thing that made them lose a ...imitation crabmeat lol I will return when I go back to see family...i want to experience the Habachi grill...post pandemic. read more

Good Chinese buffet. The food is quite tasty. Get there early for lunch when the food is fresh for best results. Around 2-3 pm, the food has been out a little too long. Sushi included in buffet, which I really enjoy. Table service for beverages only. Can be a little loud. read more

The food was cold and greasy the waiter one of my guests was still drinking her soda the waitress took the glass from her hands very rude. customers not using their gloves to use on servicing spoons, I saw many customers picking their noses,s sneezing, and licking their fingers it was terrible. Ive had others tell me they have seen the man with his fishing pole and bucket walk to the pond behind the restaurant heaven only knows what he caught and came back to have cooked for the customers. My glass had a pair of lips on them (lip stick) TERRIBLE visit.. some restaurants really need to take great pride in making sure their restaurant is clean and customers follow the rules. It is not all about the money there is another Chinese restaurant that is affiliated with this one located on west 28th street in pine bluff,ar. called china kitchen filthy place you can smell the mold on the sid they have there deserts along the wall and coming to the second food bar. The food was spoiled and raw, when i told the waitress she said sorry customer in a hurry to eat. i told her your going to be in for the health department and a law suite for serving raw and undercooked foods and 1 was the fish the 2 was chicken with the vegetables. And the ceilings have water marks vents needs cleaning the place jut smelled dirty. And the consumers some are so greedy they would eat a bug with sweet and sour sauce on it. Pay attention read more

The food at Chef Lee is decent with a large variety on the buffet. The place however, is filthy. The workers are very rude with the very little English they speak. I won't be going back....ever. read more

This is the worst Chinese buffet I had ever eaten at. The food is to horrible bad, brands with no flavor and barely any selection.

Terrible food. The only good thing was the coconut shrimp and salt/pepper shrimp. Other than that everything else was nasty.

The food is very good when it is fresh. The price on Chinese food has gone up which it shouldn't be. Overall not a bad place to go in pine bluff. read more

Just ate at Chef Lee. Traveling to Florida. The place is clean foods hot and pretty good. I would have maybe done 4stars probably 3 if the owner hadn't ran out after me and my wife asking if we had paid! Sorry Chef Lee pay attention!!!! read more

Hellllo!! Everywhere I turn there's a Chinese buffet around here!!! I'd give it 2.5 stars but it doesn't let me. The food is the absolute bare minimum but the cost is low enough ( not cheap, just low enough ) to justify eating here ( rarely ). The service is awful. They wait until there's literally nothing left before they replace any food. The dessert is so weak and they charge extra smackers, bucks,dollars, coins, doubloons etc for the good food!!!!!!! That mac and cheese is tasty as heck though read more

Chef Lee - Wow he loves those little lobsters - Chinese Near Me - Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Has gotten ridiculously high, nearly $15 dollars without a drink. I will not be going back.

Best Chinese in town because they have a variety of everything. The service is fast and welcoming.

Hands down the best Chinese buffet I've ever been to...period. I wasn't expecting much from a Chinese spot in Pine Bluff, but boy was I surprised! Of the hundreds of Chinese buffets that exist in Houston, this 1 location in Pine Bluff put major shame to all of them. Let me start with the shrimp.. OMG this is shrimp heaven. Very seasoned, many variety of shrimp to choose from and what's better is their version of peel and eat shrimp is peel-less. (Yep, had to invent a word for that.) So imagine all the other spots with peel and eat shrimp were they put so much seasoning on the shell and you have to peel it right off; oh no not here, they peel it before they prepare it and season it wonderfully. The place is a must try for all Chinese buffet eaters. What's more shocking is that many of the people in Pine Bluff have no idea that this place is so much better than what is offered in the rest of the country. I even heard comments on how the service is rude. Well I experience no rude service at all. They don't speak much English, but I'm not there to talk...I'm there to eat. The next morning I was leaving the hotel (which is right behind it) I saw farmers delivering goods to this spot. I mean real local farmers dressed in full farmer gear delivering fresh produce. WOW. That explains why the veggies are so very fresh and the food is so flavorful. I got full on my first plate. Proof to me that fresher is better. You would have to pay twice as much for fresh organic locally grown veggies in big cities. I have no complaints for this place and not enough stars. read more

Chef Lee - Shrimp are incredible - Chinese Near Me - Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Really good. I can't complain about any of it. This is typical Chinese buffet but it does do some things better than others. The fried rice is the best I've had. Fried shrimp and frog legs. The restaurant also has a hibachi station for those who want a discounted Benihana experience. Can't go wrong. read more

Place looks dirty and serene wrap all on the wall needs to be cleaned and he squirted water on me with an inappropriate bottle

My biggest issue with this place is how dirty it was. The tables, chairs, floors, everything was grimy. Cleanliness is really important in a buffet style place. The food...the grade of chicken is poor with lots of ligaments and chewy. There was a large selection of items but the food really is low quality. For $15 plus drink, I was hoping for better. read more

It's okay. If you look in the window from outside you can see all the dead bugs and lizards. Kind of dirty. Come around 12 for fresh food

Always eat there when I crave Chinese. Staff isn't always the best but the food is always good. So I ain't worried about them lol!

Not bad for where we were to eat. The food is fresh of course and we enjoyed it. Not much of a show at the hibachi but that's OK. The folks we sat with were great company and we enjoyed ourselves. Not the best I've ever had but far from the worst. read more

When I come here the workers seem clingy. They watch you while you prepare your plate. The price is OK for the buffet because you have A large assortment of food. The Hibachi is horrible!! The rice was the only thing edible. The shrimp was undercooked and there was only a couple other people at the table, so there was no rush. From first glance the restaurant is clean and they keep the food area stocked. I just wish this location had a larger parking area. read more

Ordered take out of egg drop soup & scallop combo. Food was great, nice & hot on a cold day! Well worth the price. Definitely go back again!

I'm from out of state and visiting family here and saw a Chinese buffet. My sister said it was good and we both love pull n eat shrimp and I did love the food !!! Keep up the great job it's clean and food's a winner!!!! Thanks read more

Not very impressed. According to yelp it had some pretty good reviews. I have had better, much better! Most foods were over cooked, shrimp was mush. Pork was dry and tough. Some items had peculiar flavor, never experienced such a flavor at Chinese restaurant before. Tasted like old seasoning or spices maybe oil. 2 stars are for staff. Very polite and young lady working in area cleaned very thoroughly. It is comforting to know place appeared clean, unfortunately food was not worth it tonight! read more

I have been to many Chinese restaurants in my day, but this one has what it takes to be top 5. Not too many Chinese restaurants have a full parking lot for lunch AND supper. There's a reason for this. Not only do they have many buffet lines to serve large crowds, but they also have hibachi grills for groups up to 7-8. The food was fresh and very delicious. Besides the standard Chinese chicken fare, they also have some good ole American favorites. Ribs, fish, potatoes, chicken wings, etc. had their own separate buffet line. For the price, I believe it was definitely worth it. If I ever make it back here I will make it a point to stop in here. read more

This is about the worse I have had. You have to pay extra for some food on the Buffet and most was either out or not served at an appropriate temperature. Never ever again. No sushi, no hibachi on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Chef Lee - Not worth sharing or trying! - Chinese Near Me - Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Not impressed food quality has gone way done in the past year. Had the buffet 8/16/2019 it was mediocre. Not a place I plan to frequent. China garden in White Hall is my personal pick for Chinese buffet in this area. read more

First timer. Everything was "sticky"- the table, chairs, and so I did not feel comfortable. No menu was offered so I went to the buffet. Wide selection, but the tartar sauce was off. The folks there are not friendly and in fact that was very off-putting. I would rather spend my money in a welcoming environment. read more

The Food was amazing, It has a absolutely huge buffet. I went with my family for Mother's day there were 9 of us in total, It was Absolutely packed full of people there was a line outside the door. Luckily my family and I got seated within 5 minutes of parking our car's. The waitress brought us drinks of our choice immediately as we sat down. Might i say the selection of food is astounding all hot and fresh. The Waitress was so nice,I would say she alone served over 300 people maybe even more just that day alone. 11/10 read more

Good food. Very steamy inside. Smelly. Tons of seafood. Rudest cashier. Very dismissive to customer needs/wants. Too busy on her phone to work read more

I really wish you can order online because calling the order in can be confusing. I started my order over the phone and she kept misunderstanding me so I eventually just went to the restaurant to order. If online order was available that would be more convenient for a number of people. The location is good because you can get off the highway and run right into it and grab a bite before heading home. The restaurant is always busy and it is clean. The only other thing is the buffet price changes so I usually just order from the menu. read more

I can recommend the store-bought almond cookies. That's all. Nothing else to say. The signs at the end of the food aisles telling customers to eat what they take are ludicrous. read more
