Noel and I went to China Buffet in South Charleston before her Doctor's appointment. I was craving Sushi and it was a Monday so our only true option was China Buffet. The food was good not Great! I can understand not being able to take your leftovers home because some people would fill their plates right before leaving just to have a bunch of takeout. But, Noel and I both have had gastric surgery so we can never finish our plates. This is why I normally don't do buffets! I didn't have a lot of options today! Due to being a monday!! Definitely would go back and recommend to others! read more

This used to be a super good place to eat. The food was always fresh and, GOOD! But not this time! Horrible!!! The food was awful, cold on some tables. Empty dishes with no food. White rice was clumped and stale like it's been in there since yesterday. And of course the staff doesn't speak one lick of English. Maybe ICE should take a look here? read more

Price was fair. However all of our food was room temp/cold. Service was okay. The restaurant itself seemed a little dirty inside. I will not be back. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - buffet with the typical Chinese American food. Lots of items with mayonnaise, heavy sauces, and/or fried so it is a bit harder to find cleaner items. Overall, the food was flavorful and great in texture with enough options for us to happily fill our to-go boxes. Service: 5/5 - friendly and helpful with all of our questions. Very quick service but slight language barrier Ambiance: n/a - packed a to-go box but all the food displays were tidy Value for price: 5/5 - $5.49/lb for lunch and $6.38/lb for dinner. Great price, decent food, and lots of variety overall. read more

Fantastic Chinese Buffet in the state capital of WV. We found this place with the help of Yelp while on a road trip, we were hungry and boy did this place fix that problem. Great Soups, Egg Rolls, and all the favorites. Next time you are in town give the friendly staff a visit and scratch that itch. read more

Easily the best Chinese buffet I have ever been to! I love their rolled chicken tacos, sweet and spicy chicken, sushi, and crab rangoons. The waiters and waitresses there were so sweet and accommodating. I had greasy fingers one time, and my fingers were sliding all over the wallet, and our waitress got my card out for me and helped me put it back in as well. It is also deceivingly large on the inside compared to the outside door. read more

Spacious area! Price was affordable for great food! The coconut shrimp and general tso chicken was the best! The waitress even refilled our water! Great service! A must if you are craving Chinese! read more

The food was not good. I've had better in Richmond and New York City. They seated us quickly.

Very good selection of quality food items, Hibachi Grill and more. Servers and other staff are always moving and checking on your satisfaction. read more

If I could give a zero star I would, I have I've ate better being on the streets .This place was an absolute nightmare disguised as a Chinese buffet. The food tasted like it had been reheated and left out for days--if it even started fresh at all. The fried rice was a soggy, greasy mess, and the "meat" dishes were rubbery and flavorless. The sauces were so salty and artificial they could ruin your appetite. The buffet area was filthy, with sticky tables and a weird smell that made me want to leave immediately. Honestly, this dump should be shut down for serving such disgusting excuses for food. Save yourself the regret and eat literally anywhere else. read more

It's one of the best small town buffet I have ever visited. Clean, with hot and well prepared food. There is a good diversity of choices and everything I tried was as good as fresh ordered. read more

Large Buffet all the normal Americanized Chinese dishes, you can go fill up a container off the buffet and they will weigh it for cost. I always stuff one to eat Chinese for a few days. Lol read more

Our favorite Chinese! Their peanut butter chicken has so much peanut butter flavor! We love their rangoons with the cream cheese, and the egg rolls are always on point. Their wait staff keep your drinks filled when you eat in at the buffet. read more

The waitress didn't ask and was grabbing things off the table reaching between us and didn't even speak. when we were leaving I was ask if everything was ok. I was polite and said no and explained it to her. she just ran my card then slammed it down. no explanation or anything. very rude bad food would not recommend. read more

I loved it here. Everything was good. Favorites for me: coconut shrimp, honey chicken, egg foo young, and many more. Service was great and friendly staff. Food was fresh and seem to turnover so nothing really looked or tasted like it was sitting out forever. read more

Food was luke warm, the staff was not that friendly. I had asked for some "hot oil". There wasn't even enough oil to put on my food. I know it's new, I'll give it another shot. But my first time here, I wasn't I impressed. read more

They never disappoint!! Me and my kids love this place!!!! Best fried rice! Everything is always fresh and the best!!

Best buffet of any kind in the valley. David and his staff are friendly and dedicated to serving quality food. Tip your waitstaff.

Again, we found this place from Yelp. We stopped here for lunch on the way to NC on a Thursday. Food: They have few dishes different to the typical Chinese Buffet dishes which I gave them extra star for it. Service: very friendly and polite. Cleanliness: Good. The staffs constantly clean the food area. Atmosphere: The dining area is big, not as crowded as the other Chinese Buffet places. On the way back to the north, we stopped here again for lunch on Sunday. Price is $2 more than a week day lunch. The dishes are pretty much the same. That's why I didn't give 5 stars. But it was good enough for me to recommend this place to you. read more

Super people to order from and many choices of food The staff is always friendly Ordering by phone most often the food is ready in 15 minutes I have ate here many times and I also order often from them You can't beat their tasty food read more

We ordered carry out there for the first time on Christmas Day. We will never go back. No one got the white rice with their meals. I am reared a combination and I got my fried rice but I did not get my egg roll. The food the we did get was luke warm at best and it was just ok. We tipped $10 on carry out because it was Christmas and he took the time to repeat the order back to me even with how busy it was on that day. I was also impressed that I was to the side waiting patiently and an older couple took cuts in front of me but he saw them and still help me in the order we came. The gentleman working the front was great but the food was just ok at best and as I said we were missing one thing from each of our meals that night. I would not recommend read more

Decent buffet. Nice prices. Food is pretty good. Typically busy, which Is a good sign. They have options to take food to go

Me and my family went to the China buffet and it was absolutely disgusting. I don't recommend going here. It was horrible service and when my dad told her to keep the change, she looked around super confused, and idk why we told her to keep the change when we never should've because the food was absolutely disgusting. My chicken tastes like my dog's breath, and I absolutely will never go there again I do not recommend do not waste your money and it was $80 for food that we did not like and their crab Rangoon tasted like crap 10 out of 10 do not recommend save you're money. Yo don't go here . If I could give this a 0/5 stars I would. read more

Great buffet! I've eaten here when in the area for more than ten years! Always awesome

C. and I both enjoyed eating here. The staff was very polite and attentive towards us While the food here seemed typical of a Chinese buffet, the choices were different. Some in variety others in preparation. I would have no problem returning here for another meal. Are you here yet? read more

I don't know what happened to this place, but it used to be really good and now it's terrible. All the food was cold except for the lukewarm soup. I don't know what they use for chicken, but it certainly didn't taste like chicken. My boyfriend got cramps right after we left. What a shame because it used to be great but it's not worth the trip now. read more

Very clean, very fresh hot, and friendly. I went to lunch with Mom and she brought her service dog and the restaurant didn't say a word except "is it a service dog." Which they are allowed to ask. I applaud their professionalism. read more

I have been going to this place forever. My grandparents use to own a pet store when it was a real mall. It has ups and downs, but way more ups. My family still loves gathering at this place every once in a while. Even though my grandparents are gone, and it's no longer the mall it once was, it still feels like home when I go there. read more

Love this place! One of the most outstanding Chinese Buffet in West Virginia. There is a considerable amount of food variety and the price is fair. Also, the staff and the owner are always friendly and the owner always greets and remembers everyone's name. The restaurant is well maintained and clean. I would definitely return and eat again! read more

Yes the Yelp map is showing Riverwalk Plaza in South Charleston but it does no good to tell Yelp. I've told them 6 times that Creperie Cafe closed in Kanawha City 2 years ago but they've not corrected it yet. Anyway, China Buffet is a decent place to get a reasonably priced buffet. Those grouchy people dissing it need to take their faux-European palates and maybe eat at Su Tei but spend more $$. The rest of us know what we're getting for our $. read more
