This is a little gem hidden away in a strip across from Ace Hardware in Cheney, home of Eastern Washington University. The owners are local and friendly, the food choices are numerous and fresh, and even include ice cream and pastries for dessert. I loved the watermelon cubes, and the noodles, the most. Many traditional American Chinese dishes and every one I tried was good. read more

Hands down THE BEST and most affordable Chinese food in the Spokane region. It's a bit of a drive, but well worth it. It is not a huge buffet, but it's big enough and the food provided is so amazing. You can even buy it for take-out. The couple that run it are very pleasant people and they are always sooo appreciative when we go there for a visit. read more

We took the family to the China buffet in Cheney tonight. It brought back memories of Chinese buffets that we used to frequent when I was a child. I had forgotten all about them. The place is run down and kinda rough, but the food was good. It was clean tasting and had a lot of choices. It's nice to pick what and how much you want to eat. We had 2 toddlers with us so it was nice they had fruit and items we could choose for them. They have tubs if ice cream you can scoop your own bowl. That was fun. We all enjoyed our dinner and it was a reasonable price. read more

The food was TERRIBLE! Lousy selection. BBQ pork was like leather. Way over priced. Never again.

China Buffet in Cheney was a pleasant surprise. We were able to treat our family of 5 to a nice restaurant sit-down, real plates, meal for under $100. It's probably the best restaurant deal in town. There was a lot of food choice to satisfy our group and everything was very tasty. The food was fresh and replenished often. We were also pleased that the ice cream was included in the all-you-can-eat buffet! Our 13 yo went back for 4ths and the owner smiled. We'll be returning! read more

The sweetest owners ever, we asked if they could make more of the banana stuff an hour before closing and instead of telling us they were out of bananas, he ran to the store to grab more! read more

It's a great little place to get food to go, I always get a a good pick of what I want, and it's usually enough for 2 dinners, staff is nice, the place is ok on the inside, always clean! read more

Since my attempted visit in July, I've been in twice. Both times I've been impressed with the food. Quality buffet selections and I can't decide on my favorite. As with any buffet, it's best to go when they are busy because the food is replenished frequently. No old stuff that's been sitting for too long. I had no trouble filling my ample belly with good Chinese/American selections. Service was lacking. One lady doing the dining area and one guy cooking. The buffet area is kept very clean, but the table we sat at was not so. Kinda sticky, whereas you don't want to put your silverware on it. My friend got some food to go off of the menu and was very happy with it. If you are in the Cheney area around lunch time, it's a good place to solve your hunger issues. read more

The food was just okay. The restaurant itself needs to be updated. There was tape on the booths to fix rips, stains on the floor and in the ceiling. The food had been sitting out for some time so was often lukewarm. Not worth it for the price. read more

I love this place! I go almost every Friday for lunch. The owners are super nice and make amazing food. The only place in Cheney where I will spend my money consistently. All these other reviewers are being way too dramatic about the condition of the place it's a family owned business in a tiny town that makes amazing food. Their food is always good, not hit or miss, just depends on what you like. To end on a high note, go here it won't disappoint no matter what you get. read more

The dining room is not very clean and the food makes us sick. It is ran by sweet people but not great

Fairly pricey for a pretty basic china buffet. Food is hit or miss. The people are very nice. The restraunt is pretty run down. Easy parking. read more

This place has been so reliable for our family for many years. For the last year, it's been for many take out dinners. But in years past it's been where one of the kids wanted to go for a birthday dinner, and we all eat to much. We have lived in this town since 2001, and this great place was already here. You will never go hungry, even with take out. read more

Fresh food in the buffet,good waitress,fair prices. The decorating was rather outdated but overall fine.

Our meals were delicious! I am new in town and was craving some chinese food. I highly recommend their broccolli beef plate! The customer service was good. They are doing take outs and dine ins as well. Will be coming here more often for some light night chinese. read more

China Buffet - Chicken Chicken With Pepper And Tomato Beef With Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Cheney, Washington

I love this place! My husband and I always go here for delicious Chinese food. Fresh and hot! Service is always amazing. A young man always serves us and he's always quick and so kind. My only complaint would be that it's a bit warm in the restaurant. A better ac would help. But doesn't stop us from good food. Ty read more

Well, well, well... The things you learn as you go along in life. We've been going to this joint for AYCE Chinese for almost 20 years. They have always been solid. I've never considered ordering take-out from their menu, but a craving to have take-out Egg Fu Yong had me giving them a call today. Total win! Of course, other apps and entrees were ordered, and everything was robust and delicious. They have a few signature items that I always look for when I visit (chicken wings & rangoons), and enjoying them at home hot and fresh was a nice change up. Great job CB, and this will definitely be repeated. Old foodie dogs can learn new tricks... read more

Our favorite chinese buffet isn't the same during social distancing. No buffet available, menu only. However same delicious food and service. The buffet is always fresh, hot with a wide variety of food choices. For to go order, we got fried chicken wings, hot n sour soup, curry chicken and szechuan pork. Everything cooked fresh and hot. This place is the best. Support local. read more

This place was a change out of the norm. I decided to treat my 16-year-old to lunch just him and Me and what a find. We order sweet-and-sour chicken, broccoli and beef, beef fried rice. Can I say amazing! The waitress was very sweet. The food came out in a timely manner and she was very attentive. Thank you for the great meal! read more

It's really not good even for a buffet place. I also never ended up getting my correct change.

I have now tried multiple dishes and they all are above excellent! Even though the aren't doing the buffet at the moment, their portions are still all you can eat! This is now my new favorite restaurant! read more

The first thing you notice when you walk into this restaurant is the long buffet table loaded with LOTS of choices! The second thing you'll notice is an extremely attentive waitress. They are quick to serve, and are always within holler distance as this place is pretty small. This building isn't the newest, but the conditions were SPOTLESS. I too am in the food service business and am always very picky about where I eat out. I have no hesitations about this place. The food was amazing, authentic, non-frozen product you'd expect from a buffet. You can tell the chef takes great pleasure in serving quality food. Lastly, the price. I went in with a group of 3 and left with a bill just over $30.00. That was a tremendous bargain! My family and I will definitely be back! read more

Love this place. It's older but they are so sweet. The chef watches the crowd and the table to see what needs to be replenished, it's a small town so traffic can vary. He makes quick fresh batches while you are there so food is usually pretty fresh. I haven't tried ordering off the menu yet but it's very extensive. The noodles and rice are VERY good. A lot of China buffets I've been too have the most bland noodles/rice and this is the best. I would like to see more variety from time to time which is why I gave it 4 stars. Dinner time choices add bbq pork, and fried prawns, both really tasty just not really worth the extra price in my opinion but the soup is always delicious. read more

Everything was bland or had the same taste hard to comprehend right that's what my mouth said . So I paid 30$ for there donut roll one cause there was no tongs and everyone was feeling around for the softer ones . I live within a rocks throw and I won't go back . Also probably smallest buffet table anywhere it's like they went out of there way to find it . Gather round the trough kids. read more

This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! Lately they've been cooking it to Oder it it's so good and fill up your plate for leftovers at home! The Mongolian beef is my favorite and they give you 2 servings for less than $9! Give them a try read more

Never again will I go to China buffet in Cheney Wa I found black shit all thru my jello I made a complaint and asked for a refund she had me and my boyfriend go look thru the jello then picked up a piece with her hands and had me find a black piece on the jello and I found it and she flipped the jello over and was like no no it's good jello theres no black and then her and the Male worker there grabbed me by my shoulder and my boyfriend by the back of his neck and pushed us outside we were very respectful about it 2 them we just told them how it was disgusting and how we wanted a refund and we get shoved out the fucking door and told 2 never come back the lady left a mark on my boyfriends neck trust me I wont ever go back there again so unproffessional and disrespectful read more

So let me tell you, this place is good. It's better than Safeway Chinese but it's not great... if you know what I mean. Just satisfied the craving. read more

Don't let the place full you, it does have a run down appearance but the food was amazing and fresh. We stopped as we were traveling through. There was not a buffet due to covid-19 but we ordered off the menu and everything was fresh and had great flavor. Great soup, the Mongolian beef was superb, rice was moistand flavorful, and the egg foo young was the best I've ever had. 4 stars due to the look and some food under the table read more

The food is freshly prepared and very tasty. They offer a good assortment of dishes as well as a salad and desert bar.

This place is welcoming. The atmosphere could use some updating, booths could be refurbished and the walls could use new paint. It's kind of a place you would go to every few months. The food is alright, but don't expect gourmet when you come here. It's a good place for a quick bite to eat. Overall I would recommend this place if you are looking for a simple place to go without worry. The people there are very friendly. I will come again. read more

This is my favorite place in Cheney to get chinese food. It's always warm and fresh. Tonight after a meeting my friends and I went here and after checking the door to see their hours. The owner popped out and told us to come in. They cooked us fresh sesame chicken, and it felt really home like. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

Buffet was closed because of Covid so you had to order from their menu. Food came out super fast and tasted really good and fresh.

For the money, its difficult to beat this lunch deal in Cheney... considering there are few options in Cheney to begin with. The all you can eat lunch buffet will run you about $5.95 or so. Its a favorite with the locals as well as students that attend EWU. Closed on Mondays. read more

The food here is horrible!!! It's over priced and the place is run down. I don't know how old the reviews were but this place should be shut down!!! The food was dry and had to be warmed up from a few days ago. Please don't waste your money and time!! I recommend going to Canaan Buffet in spokane for good Asian food it's worth the drive! I am never going back to this place and going to call food services to inspect the place I feel like I'm going to get sick. read more

The customer service here is amazing and the people who run this place are the sweetest ever. My friends and I drove in and they were starting to close for the night, because they said that service was really slow that night. But they saw us wanting to come in and reopened and cooked us fresh sesame chicken. The food here is already really good but it's the customer service that tops everything off. I would always come back here, 100%. read more

Absolutely outstanding, we arrived at and there was nobody else, they cooked fresh food for us and brought it to the table it was almost like being at home, amazing people I love this place! This is my go to Chinese Food read more

We have been coming here for years, Always good food and nice clean restaurant. Quick to be seated and the cooks keep the buffet full so your not waiting for chowmein etc.. Great place to take big groups they have big seating area. read more

Reading and hearing mixed reviews of this place, and always being on the lookout for a good Chinese buffet, I wanted to give it a try. When I walked in I noticed the place was a little worn looking, but it was clean and smelled good. The buffet looked fresh and well stocked. I started out with a cup of hot and sour soup. I like it a bit spicier, but it had good flavor. They also had egg soup, but I didn't try it. I tried the Broccoli Beef, Low Mein, Kung Pao chicken, Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoons, and Mongolian Beef. It was all very good, but the Mongolian Beef was awesome. The Crab Rangoons were also very tasty. There was lots to choose from, including a salad bar and a desert bar. Included on the desert bar was a selection of ice cream, including huckleberry ice cream. Overall, the food was quite good, the service was friendly and unrushed, and priced really well ($8.50 for lunch.) I look forward to coming back again. Definitely give this place a try if your looking for some good Chinese food. read more

Small but good quality/fresh and nice people. We were looking for something outside the hectic downtown Spokane and found this place. The buffet items were typical Chinese menu but they weren't over cooked like some buffets. I don't think there was any msg since I didn't react to it..soooo it's a thumbs up for me. read more
