    Still amazing The reason I love this place so much is the fresh unique offerings that they have on the buffet. Green beans: amazing Fried zucchini: best i ever had Coconut chicken: amazing Peanut butter chicken: very good Baked Cheese seafood: very good

    Such a great variety of all you can eat for only $9.25. The buffet had breaded fried catfish, steamed oysters and shrimp cooked several different ways, besides the traditional Chinese buffet staples. The owner did an outstanding job of keeping his or her's customers coming back by offering delicious Chinese food and traditional American food together! For dessert, make sure you try the mocha mousse cake

    It's a decent enough place, very tropical. I couldn't find anything extraordinary nor terrible. I don't usually do 3 star reviews but since I'm I'm Alabama for a couple weeks, I was pleasantly surprised to find a decent Chinese buffet. It definitely needs a facelift inside and the food maybe frozen but several items are fresh and enjoyable.

    Seated as far into the corner as possible. The last table all the way back was mine. All empty in front of me.

    It's the only Chinese restaurant in Atmore. The food is good, just don't look down at the carpet.

    Surprisingly good. One of the better buffets I have been to. The best time to go is 11am to 1230pm or 4pm to 6pm.

    You have a 50-50 chance as to good or bad food. They have a pretty good selection for a small town restaurant

    I have been eating here for years. The food is always very good and the portions are large. My favorite Chinese eatery.

    I came from California to visit my mom and ate here a couple times. It's been amazing and the sushi…read moreis better than Sushi Stop in CA! Great service each time as well and cute inside. Happy this small town has #1 China

    Jackson suffers from not having quality restaurants. There's one, maybe 2 if you're not that…read morepicky. This place is not one of them. This is a 'I'm so hungry I want to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet' place. Number 1 China does offer a pretty good buffet for the price you'd expect to pay. Some of the food doesn't taste too bad but I always have to wonder how much (if any) MSG is being used. It is often very busy and you're more than likely going to see someone you know in this small town. There's nothing fancy about the inside but it is adequate. Here is why I'm giving this restaurant 2 (2 1/2) stars. The problem with Number 1 China has to do with the fact that EVERY time my wife and I have gone there, one or both of us has stomach problems right afterwards. Every time. Typically this sort of thing happens because of bad food prep (not clean) or ingredients that are contaminated. Not sure what it could be with this place. There are some wonderful people working there. Friendly and kind. If you do go, please remember to tip the people bringing you your drinks and clearing the table. They earn every penny of it.
