In a strip mall . Not the best store front but ok we are in Canton, staff was friendly and I must say Chinese. Was seated fast . Basic selection . Sweet sour soup was good and spicy. Coconut shrimp was good . Sushi was made well not smashed and the rice had flavor. Spring rolls were expected mostly cabbage. As for the main dishes they were ok not that great but I've had worse. Pepper beef was good flavor just tough. Not bad -desserts were dry with ice cream better . But for Canton not bad read more

Food was VERY good, it was nice and hot. the sushi was my favorite :) staff is kind and welcoming read more

Best Kung Pao I have eaten since we moved here 4 years ago! I can't wait to try the buffet.

The food is fresh , and waiting when you show up for pick up orders. The woman up front are quick to get people seated and to get to go orders out. read more

CHEN'S BUFFET - Happy family with chicken fried rice. - Buffets Near Me - Canton, Texas

Foods good, servers attentive. I don't eat Chinese and buffets very much. I only have the sweet and sour chicken, fried rice. A friend that does canton first money loves this place because of the price. So we usually end up here once a month. Of course go when it's busy because the food is fresher. read more

Went with my dad and the customer service was the worst. They practically rushed us out after one plate that didn't have a lot on it. So we basically paid for a small meal since it was so uncomfortable being there. This is a buffet. The food was cold and practically inedible. But still paying and wanted to eat what i could. I also find them selling stuff at the front to be tacky and out of place with the overall feel of the place. read more

if I could give a negative rating.....I would! my 2 year old granddaughter was with my daughter and I. We chose to go to Chen's to eat. BIG MISTAKE! We got yelled at and ganged up on by 3 workers......because we wanted to share with our 2 year old (who won't eat but MAYBE 2 bites. They were rude and have no customer service skills! Chen's lost over $30.00(plus future visits)....to gain $5.00! GREED TOOK OVER! read more

Went with a friend on 1.22.23. Chinese New Year! But they didn't seem to be doing anything special. That said, we enjoyed ourselves. I felt the restaurant was very clean, especially the areas around the buffet. The prices were quite reasonable ($12 at Sunday lunch), and the help staff was on point. I mean, I spent more than that at Taco Bell yesterday. They have real ice cream. Good fish/shrimp. Potstickers. Crawfish. Soups were also good. I look forward to going back and trying more! read more

Usually eat here a lot. Lately, all the fried wontons and the fortune cookies have been super stale. It's like they have been in a hot warehouse for months. And when they need more..they just run and pick them up. The egg rolls are not good, I never get them. They have a weird taste. All the meat and pasta on the Buffett is good. Their egg drop soup is good. "Sushi" is just ok. The green beans can be hit or miss. Most of the time they are fantastic. Sometimes.. they were not cooked long enough to get the correct flavor. This place used to be better, but I would say the last 4 months..it's just been o-k read more

I give this place five stars because the customer service was really nice. The food was pleasant and it was a really good environment and great pricing for two people almost $30. read more

I order takeout from here at least once a month. My favorites are the chicken fried rice and the Kung Pao Chicken. Chen's is always fast- your order is usually ready in 10-15 minutes. Their takeout prices are reasonable and comparable to most fast food places and the portions are massive. The ambiance is comparable to any Chinese buffet you've ever been to. The workers are always very kind!! Highly recommend this local spot. read more

We've gone their for almost 6 years and at first the service good but then we started going more frequently and we like to fill up our Togo boxes full so we can actually get full but now the one tall guy he always gets mad at us telling us that we always serve us many food but we pay for what we eat !!! plus he's very rude and yesterday my mom and I went to get food and he stopped us right when we were about to enter and told us that they weren't going to bring out any more food for us since we always serve us food !!! Terrible customer service !! Also he's RACIST towards Hispanics not very nice to all !!! read more

This place is great, not your typical bland buffet. The hot and sour soup is great. Real sushi that was fresh. Great egg rolls. Everything we tried seemed to be fresh and delicious. read more

The most best I have ever tasted.It is a all you can eat buffet,and they seat you quickly and bring out your drinks as fast as you can blink. The place has a nice abstract look to it. And it is owned by a local family read more

The good so fresh hot and DELICIOUS!! The buffet has Sushi, salads, beef, chicken, shrimp, veggie dishes. Soup and desserts. But they also have a complete menu to order from if buffets are not your thing. And the ladies that work there have hearts of pure gold. I can't say enough about this restaurant. It's the Chinese place in a 100 miles. If your near Canton and want good food, this is THE PLACE!!! read more

Went around 7:30 pm on a Wednesday night and not expecting much since it was late, figured there would be nasty re runs BUT to my surprise it was really good. Waiter was quick and attentive when we got there, gave us space but also took our plates when finished. Atmosphere was nice and peaceful but also lively. Tried out almost everything and it was all very good, dessert was yummy and fruit was fresh and good. Clean bathroom, COVID precautions are gloves and mask for those who care. Overall would go back. read more

CHEN'S BUFFET - A little bit of everything. - Buffets Near Me - Canton, Texas

Love the food, we always order Mongolian beef and they do a great job making it. So friendly.

For me to give four stars to a Chinese buffet is almost headline-making. I generally approach these things with great caution and, more often than not, I will go inside and take a look at the steam table before committing to eating there. Yes, it's a bit awkward when I turn around and leave, but it's with good reason. If there's anything that has been left there too long, that is the kiss of death for me. Fortunately, I didn't have to do any prior investigation at Chen's because a trusted friend told me it was excellent--and so it was! Who would have guessed that such impossibly fresh and tasty offerings could be had in such a tiny town (swelled to gigantic crowds, of course, during monthly trade days)? The food was delicious, and I couldn't help but notice how the staff constantly fussed over the buffet, quickly refilling the dishes that were getting low and making sure everything was impeccably clean. Their attention to freshness seemed almost obsessive. My favorite dish? The jalapeno chicken; coconut shrimp was the runner-up. Excellent service at the table, too. I would have given five stars, but I have had a better experience only once--in Dallas. Such could be expected there...but in tiny Canton? Who knew? read more

We ate here for the first time as we were driving through Canton. The place was clean and they had a wide variety of food. Service was good and the food was delicious read more

CHEN'S BUFFET - Delicious food and great service - Buffets Near Me - Canton, Texas

Food and service are always AMAZING!!!! A must go to for Asian buffet lovers.Egg Rolls,

second time they do the same thing to me and my co workers. We come eat and the waitress rushes us. They stare us down, and once we are half way with our first plate. She brings the bill and demands a tip. Are you kidding me? Learn to give customers space. Always trying to kick us out, Dear management, Learn how to hire competent people. read more

Yes, yes, yes! Very good Chinese food choice in the middle of east Texas! Don't be shy, give it a try!

Was better than I expected will go back and great price very clean waitress were very friendly

We love Chen's! Their food is delicious and always fresh! The owners are friendly and the staff are fantastic! We couldn't love Chen's more! If you love great Chinese and clean buffets, you will love this place as much as we do! read more

Always awesome food that leaves you full every time, I was worried about the portion size of the take out for the price, but I actually was able to get completely full, and still have an entire meal left over for $12. Will be ordering over Panda express 10/10 read more

I am sick to death of being charged $14.99 for Chen's buffet! Every time we walk in there to get a to go buffet, they hand us a togo box that gets smaller and smaller! In order to compensate the tiny togo box, I put some cucumbers, 1 sushi's roll, and a pinch of kim cheese! You would have thought the world had come to an end and I was scolded and told NO MORE! SOUP ONLY! Their togo boxes are barely big enough to hold a couple of spoons of rice, Lo , and a protein! Anyone who has been in there knows the food it great but it's outrageous to charge such a high buffet price for basically nothing! People like me who like a variety but can't eat an entire meal at one time is getting screwed. I know their buffet togo tray has reduced in size at least twice in the past few month. Anyone who has been in there for togo knows that their togo wouldn't even hold a small burger and fry from McDonalds! Chens should be ashamed and either increase their togo box to a reasonable size or reduce the buffet price to match the size of the box! SHAME! I wish i could give 5 stars for the food but had to reduce the score due to them blatantly screwing their customers! read more

This place have the most rudest Asian servers ever! I came in with my family an sat down, 20mins later I'm still waiting for a server to come an ask me if I wanted a drink? So I finally waved over to her an she's like "what? What do you want!? With an attitude! So I said I want a drink? I never got one...then she says ohh I thought you did. I will never come to this place again an their food is not even good..it's very greasy an has no flavors at all and the walls an floors are so dirty like it has never been clean. I don't even want to give this place a 1 star it should be 0 stars! read more

I went in to get 2 "to go" dinners. I separated the cold items (sushi, shrimp, etc) into one box and put the hot food in the other. When I went to pay, the lady charged me more because one box had more than a few sushi pieces.. I did not "cram" in any way. When I explained that I was simply keeping hot and cold foods separated, she still wanted to charge more. So I asked if I put half of cold foods in each container, would it still be extra charge? She said she had already rang it up this way.... And I didn't even ask for soup containers.. Which comes w buffet... Ridiculous. If I'd have known my organizational skill would cost more, I would have packed the heck out of those containers. Will not go back. read more

Amazing food! Very clean. We will definitely be back again! The pot stickers, lo mein, and Spicy chicken were favorites for us. Everything we tried was good though, overall, even the sushi. Very impressed! Good prices, too. We went during lunch hours. read more

Alright, it's been a while since we've eaten here, so I decided to give it another try. The food was a lot better this go around, but it's still your typical Chinese Buffett. The food was decent and service was really good. I will definitely come back every now and then; however, it still is not a high end Asian restaurant. read more

This is the only restaurant I've ever left hungry. Chen's doesn't even deserve one star

Update: I can live with service issues, but not BAD COOKING. Chen's has really taken a huge dive. Used to be really good, but now not so. Sad! read more

Overall good buffet. Better than average stuff but out here in Canton it holds up. Pretty bright and clean. They serve average dishes any chinese buffet serve and do it pretty well not world class but good. From chicken broccoli to sweet n sour chicken, fried rice well you get it. Saturday and Sunday nights they have Crab legs. If your real hungry this place will fill your need and price isn't so bad either. Recommend read more

See all

I eat here every week. The buffet has a good selection and I have a few favorites. All three soups are good: Egg Drop, Hot & Sour, and Won Ton. The Hot Pepper Chicken is really good - just the right amount of heat. Not a huge selection of sushi, but what they have is good. The kimchi is really good as is the fried rice. You can also order off the menu and the Mongolian Beef and Moo Shu Pork are both excellent choices. read more

Worst excuse of chinese food ever!!!! The fried stuff was so hard, u couldnt eat it. The rice was the only edible thing there. Won't make that mistake again. read more

This place was amazing!! Following the pandemic shut downs, we had dinner there when they reopened and they met us at the door with sanitizer and gloves and also supplied them at the buffet. The food was hot and delicious and even a fair sushi selection. Thank you!! read more

Weak dining experience. It was pretty good a couple of years ago and we went all the time. Then, I can't explain it, the food just got gross. We figured it was a one time bad experience and so we waited a month and went back. It was a huge disappointment to see a favorite family restaurant go so consistently bad. Sometimes restaurants struggle to get or keep good staff and I hope Chen's will find the right people and start serving quality food again. I can't recommend it, but it's been awhile so we might chance it again soon. read more

I lived in Dallas for a few years and always loved East Buffet off of 183. After moving back to Canton, I was excited to see if Chen's was just as good. All-in-all it's almost as good, which is surprising in Canton. In fact, the biggest complaint I had was the fact that the table was just slightly too high for the booth. That, and the water tasted a little odd, but still better than some places in Canton I know of. The buffet was $8.95 without a drink, and I'm not sure how much a drink is, but I'll probably get one next time. Overall, Chen's was surprisingly good, and it looked like one of the cleanest places in town. (Being in a relatively new building can't hurt.) I'll be coming back for more. read more

LOVE coming here on my payday. If I could afford it I would spend all my money here. I've been going here for YEARS and it has been delicious every time. Everyone here is so nice and their food is amazing! They always refill our drinks when I come with my baby boy. He loves the chicken and the pizza they serve. Will continue eating here until I move and even then when I come to visit my parents I will make them take me. read more

Great healthier option for Canton! They have all the usual suspects as well as a few good sushi items, but the real prize here is the KIMCHI (which is some of the very best I've had anywhere!) and the cucumber salad. Add some soup and rice and this is an extremely solid option for the more health aware folks who may be burned out on traditional junky foods in town. The egg foo young is also VERY flavorful- also a huge surprise for this small town buffet. A staple for us when we visit... Definitely recommend. read more
