Came here on a whim, The atmosphere was great when walking in. The staff was friendly, I absolutely did not had to ask for a refill, the food and sushi was phenomenal. Definitely a place to check out if you're looking for Chinese.. by the way the carry out prices aren't bad ! read more

This place is beautiful. My girl suggested me and we had a lunch date there and it was a good experience they were so many options from veggie to shrimp chicken and etc . Even there deserts have a big menu which I liked it on the top of that they had ice cream which was amazing . The only issue what I see is when we got seated for 10 mins the server dint even got water or ask for drinks . Other than that my meal was perfect . read more

I visited yesterday for lunch with my co-workers. The decor is beautiful. You'll be impressed by the set up and beautiful statues. They have lots of seating, although you may not have as much room as you'd like. The food was nothing special. It will look and taste very similar to all the other Chinese buffets out there. It wasn't terrible but it will not be the best you've ever had either. The service is where this place really shines. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We did not have to wait very long for drinks or to have plates removed. All in all a decent place if you want some quick Chinese food with a lot of different varieties, but if you are looking for high quality cuisine, keep driving. read more

I came her later afternoon and we were seated very quickly. The place was pretty busy and there is a large selection of food. However I don't eat meat and those options were limited. The food was horrible. Yes Chinese food is greasy and salty and I do like that about Chinese food but this was gross. The vegetable lo mien had absolutely no vegetables, it was all noodles. The spring rolls were practically empty. I must say though the service was good, they were very attentive but I will Never be going back. I'm sure I can find better Chinese food somewhere else here in Charlotte. read more

As for Chinese buffets in the Charlotte area go, this is one of the better one's. It really is hard to find "good" Chinese restaurants in Charlotte in general. If you've traveled anywhere in the north east, you'll know what great Americanized Chinese food really is. I just dont know why the Charlotte area restaurants can't nail it like north of here? But as this one goes, I went twice. Both times on primetime dinner hours and it was good...but not great. If you are in Charlotte I would recommend this place if you are in the mood for some Americanized Chinese food, particularly the buffet style. Enjoy and good eating! read more

We loved going to Tin Tin in Pineville before it closed and we are so happy we found this. Atmosphere is relaxing and festive: Beautifully lacquered wood everywhere and a wall-size waterfall. Kids like the fun statues when you walk in and really cool lighted ceiling. Lots to look at. It's kind of what you want in a Chinese buffet and the food is delicious. Try the butter fried shrimp, Asian green beans (cooked fully but still crisp), red bean filled sesame balls and just taste everything. The made to order soup station was not as good Tin Tin but we only tried one kind read more

I hadn't been to a Buffet in years, & I was on the hunt two weeks ago. My husband & I finally stumbled upon this place. We were skeptical, however our hunger outweighed the skepticism. The parking was convenient this night because it was a weekday. Not many cars there, so we were hoping they were open. Upon walking up to the double doors, we were impressed. It felt like we were at a red carpet event opening the doors to a luxury Chinese villa. The doors were huge, maybe about 10ft tall, & everything outside seem polished & nice. We stepped into the lobby area, where we were met with a Chinese dragon statue to the right, equally as tall as the doors. To the left, sat a claw machine & a few toy capsule vending machines. Another set of double doors led us inside to the hostess standing behind a desk, & off to the right a register checkout. The decor was eye catching. After being seated, we enjoyed a beautiful array of foods. There's definitely a little something there for everyone. The food was hot, well kept, organized & clean. Meaning there wasn't any dropped food or crumbs in sight. The wait staff didn't speak the best English, yet understood everything we discussed. They were sure to keep our drinks full & remember my son had a Dr. Pepper & not a Coke. They were also prompt to take our finished plates. One thing I like is that they didn't come take away our food prematurely. I hate when you look away for a split second & your last bite of broccoli is being carried away! The reason I didn't give this review one last star to make it a 5 star review is because of the dishes & silverware. The dishes looked worn, & the utensils looked clean & used at the same time. The way people scooped the ice cream didn't seem that sanitary, & you are to drop the ice cream scooper back into a puddle of cold running water in a dish, yuck! That night was fairly empty which concerned us. However we enjoyed our experience so much that we returned two weeks later for my mothers birthday. The place was crowded & that made us feel a lot better. The parking lot was horrible, parking in back of the restaurant did not make me feel comfortable. Thankfully there is a police station nearby & this restaurant is next to a bank, so police drive through regularly. The wait time for a Saturday evening was average. Maybe a 25-30min wait. There were a lot of celebrations going on with large parties. Seating was tight in some areas and just fine in others. There never seemed to be too many people at the buffet area at one time. We enjoyed the Sushi, & many bar options. The Hibachi I did not enjoy very much, & I had a lady ask me which meat was the beef & the chicken. Because of how the meat was sliced, you had to name the meat by color. The beef seemed to be a little darker in color so I guessed to her that the lighter meat was chicken. I will be returning as soon as possible. For those who prefer carryout, the prices are almost $6.00 per pound. I wouldn't dare! I hope you enjoy this restaurant as much as I did!

Excellent service, great variety and very nice staff. Everything I look for in a good buffet and a beautiful dining area! Highly Reccomend!

No taste on the food, everything was overcooked and dried. Expensive for poor food. The hot wings was terrible. The ice-cream was melted. Please, don't eat here. You will regret . read more

We've been looking for a great Chinese buffet since moving to Charlotte last June. We have tried several Chinese restaurants but failed to find one that offered the selection that we enjoyed in Chattanooga before we moved. China Buffet is the answer to our search. They have the variety and quality that we were used to enjoying. We will back quite often. read more

Came here on my honeymoon and the food was undercooked, poorly seasoned, and colder than the melted ice cream bar, the best part of my meal was the freshly squeezed tap water. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy . It's been 2 hours since we got back to our hotel and ive spent the last 118 minutes releasing all kinds of bodily fluids into the toilet. MAGA read more

Good food with good price The food is good and the price is lovely. I like their sushi and fish. Definitely will come back on a regular basis. read more

It was nice the interior is almost fancy the food was real good and fresh the staff was helpful and friendly.Even my 4 year old companion ate well .the waterfall is cool. I will go again read more

It's good, but not great. Definitely not a cheap meal, if you splurge and order a tea or soft drink, you are looking at $12 for lunch. The hibachi is popular, I didn't see many lining up for sushi. The buffet is a different story. I like the way the tables are laid out, even when they are crowded, there is enough room to walk around the tables. So what's good? If you like chicken, the fajita is really good. The fried wings are good too, the drumettes are meaty and tasty. The s&p calamari is good if you get them fresh from the kitchen. I don't eat rice, but they have several to choose from. The selection on the weekend was different than what I saw on a weekday, and the meal was $2 more on Saturday. Otherwise, looked like the standard Chinese buffet offerings. If you can pack the food away (not in a doggy bag lol), probably a good choice if you are in the University area. read more

Overall subpar food, water that tastes like it's from the sink, and ice cream that is too hard to scoop.

It has a great location but not too many 'hot items' on the Buffett meaning the portion is less & been on the buffet for a little longer. The food isn't bad, it's a buffet guys! One thing it needs to include for the kiddos is pizza. Tidbit. If u don't wander over to the grill then u won't see the noodle soup there. Yes they have pho!! It's basic but fresh & good. Try it! Of course with Siracha sauce. I guess that's why we keep coming back. Buffett + pho, a combo read more

The place is just beautiful and elegant. The food was so delicious. You pick your meat, vegetables, noodles etc.. take it up to the man at the hibachi grill and get it cooked with a sauce of your choice. I got steak, mixed vegetables, noodles and vegetable fried rice and had all cooked in soy sauce. I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant. The staff was really helpful, kind, and I received prompt service. read more

The food is just what you would expect from a place called China Buffet. Being that it is right in the university area, there are crowds of people that just want a cheap meal, which isn't really that cheap. This makes the atmosphere very busy and loud. The food is ok, but nothing really special and is definitely not a step above other Chinese buffets. I only give it two stars because our waitress was actually really nice and refilled our drinks very promptly. But if you are looking for good quality food, just go ahead and skip this one. read more

China Buffet - Hibachi chicken with rice and onions. - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

After reading the reviews here you would think restaurants were based off selection and not food quality. This is a typical chinese buffet/mongolian grill with sushi selections. Lots of variety and all of it is pretty terrible. Many dishes were luke warm, sushi was gummy, tables were close together and clientele was very low end with lots of kids running around. If anyone tries to tell you the food is good then just go and try the general tsos chicken. Go ahead, cut it up. How much meat is in there and how much of that meat is white? You are NUTS if you aren't going to Fuse Buffett instead....but if you have kids you are going to let loose then stay at china buffet! read more

China Buffett offers a nice selection of Asian and americanized cuisine. The sushi was fresh and creatively presented. The buffet was well maintained and constantly replenished. Loved the salt and pepper blue crab and prawn. They also offer hibachi grill, which is included in the price of the buffet. The decor is very upscale for a buffet and the staff very friendly and attentive. I would definitely return for another meal. read more

Everything I put on my plate was simply delicious. The service was impeccable. It was a Sunday and they were slammed packed. read more

China Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

At $12.99 a person for dinner (on a week night), it's a little pricey. BUT they had blue crabs, clams in black bean sauce, steam flounder, sushi, salt & pepper shrimps (with heads), crawfish, noodle station and other food items that can make this worths the money. I normally come here with my parents. My mom always has $1 off per person coupon with her (it's out there, not sure which neighborhood coupon booklet). The service is... well, it's a chinese buffet so there's not much of a service to speak of. On the plus side, my water glass was never empty. Overall food is ok and in good supply (I HATE all-you-can-eat places where they're stingy with bringing out hot food). Not a bad option in the area. read more

We went here for a late lunch (around 3) and barely anyone was there. But the food was hot and everything was full. It's a little pricey for a buffet ($9 for lunch, $13 for dinner) but they have a huge selection, including hibachi. Their sushi is spot on, too. Personally I was surprised by their fruit. Not only was there a lot of the normal fruit (pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe), it was extra ripe. Expertly picked. I couldn't get enough They also had sautéed bok choy, which I'm a huge fan of. Everything was well cooked and the selection was huge. Needless to say this is now our regular lunch buffet stop. read more

There are a lot of choices in the buffet from Chinese and Japanese food to American food. The taste though, is just plain not good. The food was either too dry, burnt, or to greasy. I will say though that there was plenty of fruit. I've never been to a Chinese restaurant with so much fruit. There is plenty of seafood, not that good in taste our quality, but a vast selection. Seems like for a Chinese restaurant, there are mostly Hispanics working there, that might be the reason for the poor quality and taste. The desert selection is almost nonexistent except for the ice cream options, which are self-serve, but so difficult to access that its not even worth trying. The hostesses are lazy, they rarely moved from the drink area, there was one male host that actually did bring water and was pleasant. 13.00 for food that is not good. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The food has no taste. Most was over cooked or under cooked. Service was very good. Iced tea was good. I almost never complain about food but this was very bad. I guess they expect you to cover it with soy souse. I tried the hot wings in a attempt to find something good. Even bigger disappointment, no spice no nothing. read more

I've been going to this buffet for about 4 years and it has stayed the same. Clean, hot and fresh food selections and are all flavorful. I go here whenever I get the chance. You will not be disappointed. read more

Four stars. But, they're buffet stars, okay? If you're up for Chinese buffet, this is a good call. If you're looking for a nice sit down dinner, keep looking. We're staying at the hotel across the street and didn't relish getting in the car again, so we walked over. Happy we did. Again, four buffet stars. Three would be fine average buffet. No frills. Here are the frills that earned an extra star. Noodle soup station. Pick your noodle style, pick your ingredients, pick your broth. Not the best I've ever had (no duck broth) but good variety of meat and seafood and the fresh herbs really make you forget you're at a buffet. There were hibachi (pick your ingredients and they cook it up) and sushi stations, but I didn't try them. Variety. All the normal dishes, a bunch of American dishes (for kids, I guess) and then variety. A few dim sum items; some more soup, and then seafood. My son had his first octopus, crayfish, and frog legs. Like the restaurant on the moon, no atmosphere. It's a Sunday night and more loud kids than a Chuck E Cheese. Not their fault, so no star deduction; but fair warning Yelpers, it won't be restful. read more

In total with getting water to drink it was $15.81. No idea why it's so expensive. They must put alot of MSG in their food because I was full after the first plate. read more

Not sure what happens behind closed doors, or if anyone else experienced something similar but my whole family got sick after eating here. All the kids including the adults were vomiting the next day. Will not be coming back. read more

It's a Chinese Buffet and I'm comparing it only to other Chinese buffets. It's one of the best I've been to. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. The selection is great and always changing from visit to visit. The food is constantly being replenished. Take out is charged by the pound. They do have menus if you are so inclined. The seating area atmosphere was VERY nice, and the furnishings were well above any other buffet I've seen. Everything was clean! The service is great. It is priced at $7.99 at lunch and $10.99 dinner per person for adults. There is an ample selection of hot, fresh food, as well as a Mongolian style buffet where you add ingredients for the chef to make you teriyaki, hibachi or garlic dishes while you watch. The sushi is always full and they are making in fresh right there. Don't compare it to your favorite sushi place... it's a buffet. read more

This place made me sick for 3 days straight. The employees were rude fish tasted like ocean water and The food had no flavor at all

Love the fact that Pho is featured alongside of the buffet. Good spot to hit from time to time.

Really don't understand why buffet here always mix Chinese and Japanese food together. It has a Chinese name but wth are those "hibachi" and "sushi" words, it's Japanese not chinese! k about the food, generally neither good nor bad, no big difference from Tokyo Grill or Ichiban, but the Hibachi is special and I think would be good. More expensive than Tokyo for lunch, and dunno whether a student card can get a discount read more

China Buffet - The Chinese name is so... - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I gotta say, I'm a sucker for Chinese Buffets in general and I usually let them get away with some less than stellar food typically. This place does not need this treatment. Sure not every item here is a winner, but the costumer service is superb and the variety they have in food is more than any other I have seen. With the hibachi grill type area, to sushi, to noodle soups, and the normal buffet I recommend giving this one a shot. read more

Decided to try this place out after Christmas shopping. Loved that it had rows and rows of food to choose from and a variety of desserts as well. Staff isn't as friendly but they do a good job of getting plates and refilling. Definitely would recommend if you want to eat at a buffet in Charlotte! read more

$9 per person! All you can eat! The choices are awesome and plenty from raw bar to Chinese cooking to sushi and fruit bar and salad bar! read more

I give this five stars because of the cleanliness and selection.... Lots of food and it was all fresh and delicious. Compared to other Chinese buffets this is definitely one of the better ones.... I recommend it... Staff was friendly as well so all around good choice read more

China Buffet - Sushi!!!! Lol good stuff here - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I've been to this restaurant quite a few times and never have been disappointed. Plentiful parking as well as minimal wait once you walk in. Food at the buffet bar is replenished often and the staff is very attentive. Like most buffets, they have a Hibachi grill (where they cook your food for you) as well as a noodle station. It's "almost" like made-to-order pho. lol read more

This is your typical chinese buffet. Pros: The decor of the place is very impressive. Beautiful wood carvings, stars in the celling and a big buffet area, sushi station and hibachi. Cons: There are to many tables for the location. Its very crowded you feel like everyone is breathing on your food. When you get up from your table you bump into people in front and in back of you. The place smells like fish and my hair and my clothes all have that funky smell. They don't have knives only forks and spoons. You have to push your food in your plate with your fingers or with what you find. Do not ask for water it also has that funky smell and it taste terrible. Definitely will not be coming here again. read more
