There are mixed Yelp reviews for this Chinese buffet in Kannapolis. It's not very visible from the main thoroughfare. Its been around for over 13 years and it is a smaller scaled version of the other buffets in the area. Prices are considered average for what is offered. The place is kept clean, you pay first before you are seated, and service was decent. The food quality is average, and they do replace food regularly. The dessert cakes are fresh and very tasty compared to their competizione. Overall, it's not the best food offering buffet, but not bad if you don't want to drive into Charlotte. read more

We visited China Buffet on Christmas Eve. It wasn't over crowded but plenty of people dining. The soup was delicious. The egg rolls and crab Rangoons were good but not super warm. It was..typical buffet Chinese...not great but not bad. It seemed clean and service was good. read more

For the price, I really wasn't expecting anything great but let me tell you. The options were over 40 fresh and hot choices to choose from. The food was good and the fruits and veggies were fresh. Hibachi was great as well, got it cooked just like I wanted it. Service was good, she kept up with refills and anything else that might've been needed. The ambiance reminded me of the old school Chinese Buffets that I had grown up loving. If you're looking for decent food for a great price, then this is your place!!! read more

Very clean, nice, great ambient great service and best of all the FRESHNESS OF THE MEALS. It's a place that I highly recommend and definitely we will come back! read more

Food is fresh and the service is on top of everything. Always have a good experience when I go there.

Food was good. I'm worried waiter is not getting full tips as not showing tip given on receipt. People were personable. Smelled really fishy they just need to put out vinegar or bleach to kill the smell. Music horrible bad karaoke haha read more

Lunch last Saturday. Was disappointed they no longer have the large crabs or crab legs. The had tiny crab legs that were 1/2 inch wide or less with the shells breaded (?) and then deep fried - so there was barely any crab meat (wonder why they don't boil them). What was good: -- Roast Duck Soup : one of the 4 they listed on the wall next to the Hibachi. - Was amazing! Gad nei fun (thin) noodles, sprouts, greens, cilantro and special flabor to the soup. And of course the duck which was excellent. (The roast duck alone from the buffet was not good - whith the fat around the pieces uncocked - the skin not crispy as it should be when roasted - ti was gross.) -- Corn on The Cob - excellent. Very tasty, and not mushy like many buffets. -- Strring Beans - cooked just right. Excellent. -- Sushi was delicious and fresh. -- The cantaloupe was in season and elicius as was the watermelon. ______ The music was relaxing Asian music. The bathroom was very clean. Tehe staff was friendly and attentive. Comfortable seating. ENJOY read more

Seriously not bad for a Chinese buffet. The prices are reasonable, especially for lunch on a weekday. The sushi is actually better than some rolls I've had at more formal sushi restaurants. I try to come here at least once a month to get my buffet fix in. There's a good amount of options and a soft serve machine. I just wish they'd spice up the atmosphere a bit and fix the broken awning on the east side of the building. Overall, better than most Chinese buffets I've been to... And I've been to a lot. read more

I really like this place! Clean with a calm atmosphere and the food is always on point here. A flat rate for the buffet and they have a lot of variety as well as healthy options. Been here several times and the menu allows you to go in almost any direction you'd like...! The staff adds to the value as they're friendly, helpful and will clear your plate from the table almost immediately after you're done. So far, it beats the other competitors locally, hands down! read more

The food was not very good, everything tasted frozen. I will say the staff is very kind but the food just is not good.

Food is always on point. They rotate constantly. There is also a soft serve ice cream machine which is a plus

Been coming to this restaurant as a family tradition for almost as long as I can remember haha, the food has always been amazing, great atmosphere and beautiful music. I absolutely love the traditional decor and art they have all around the restaurant, it's gorgeous. Staff are always friendly, I will say the food is the best around Dinner hours. 10/10 read more

Even had fresh sushi! read more

Excellent hot buffet at least during lunch. Food is fresh and colorful. Sushi is excellent and stir fry.

Great food, great service, great ambience. Definitely coming back here next time I'm around

Much Better than Average First ran across this place about 6 years ago when I was working in Concord and a couple of my co-workers recommended it to me. I've eaten at many a Chinese Buffet over the years and this is one of the best. They keep the steam tables turned so the food is fresh. Food is very good and a great variety is offered. For a buffet, not much you can say about service except they do a great job making sure the steam tables are current. For the consumer, one of the best values in the area. Good food with a great variety, all you can eat and very pleasant staff. Can't beat that. read more

This place has excellent sushi. My family and I go there every weekend. The sushi chef will personally take care of any special requests you have. My wife loves the Rainbow Roll and I get a Unagi Roll. The sushi chef loves to mix it up with his own creations and always wants feedback. They just put in a Hibachi Grill, I have tried it a couple times and it great. The Chinese buffet is typical of any Chinese buffet style restaurant you will see, except, they keep the food fresh. I have been there a dozen times and never had soggy, cold or "old" buffet items. The staff is friendly and they have a 100% score!!! I hope I see you there! read more

Food was a lot better than most similar places, great staff, and everything was nicely laid out.

I've been to the lunch buffet several times. As a guy who generally like Chinese buffets, I haven't been impressed with any of the food at all. read more

This place is AWESOME! Very clean, service was great, and the food was awesome! Truthfully, probably one of the best, if not THE best, Asian buffet that I have ever eaten at! read more

A solid four star experience for a buffet! We had come originally over a year ago and sort of forgotten about this place. Lunch is very affordable and we thought the sushi was standout! read more

I give the restaurant an average score for a Chinese buffet. There are limited choices and the food was lukewarm when we arrived at opening hours, 11am, on Sunday. I expected the food be fresh but it felt they were sitting out for 30mins prior to opening. The best thing I probably ate was the fried dumplings (4.5/5). The fruits were also very good especially the oranges. There is also plentiful of seat for a local Chinese restaurant. Definitely try to hibachi grill if you aren't satisfied with the foods that are already setup. Cost per person $8.99 for a Sunday is a good deal if you're craving Chinese food. Also, they only had chocolate flavor ice-cream; no vanilla. read more

China Buffet - Best oranges i ever ate in a Chinese restaurant :) - Chinese Near Me - Kannapolis, North Carolina

Since I have moved to NC. from Mich. I have stopped In to the China Buffet SEVERAL times a week for lunch or dinner. Every time I have been in here the food has ALWAYS been top notch. The staff has been very friendly and at my table every time I needed anything. The selection of different foods is impressive and often changes so you get a chance to try something new every visit. If your in Kannapolis and looking for a good meal at a good price, stop at the China Buffet. You will leave happy with the service and the quality of the food. Eric 4 read more

Where is it written that Chinese food doesn't have to taste like Chinese food at 4pm??? The 1st time I came here was a few weeks ago & the food & service were very very good: borderline excellent. Today though......not so much. The food: out of 40 hot dishes on the buffet only approximately 4 were hot & fresh....everything else was from mid lunch rush or earlier. In the steak pie (which was a ground beef jamaican pocket) I tasted what really tasted like bleach....No bueno!!!! The crab rangoon (one of my faves) was horrible & the fried rice tasted like fried rice from 3 days ago that had been over - nuked in a microwave.....3 days ago!!! The service: our waitress served my fiancé half decaf half hot water & called it coffee....poor thing didn't realize my lady is a coffee savant! She also brought her "creamer" (milk) in a saucer. My fiancé has an awesome kitty, but she is NOT a cat!!!! Lady claims they were out of regular coffee....No your lazy ass just didn't want to make a fresh pot! Overall.....I would have to say that I won't be back.... read more

If you haven't stopped by and had the sushi lately...you are missing some of the best in K-town area..the sushi on the bar is fresh and tasty...Be sure and have Jack make you a special roll. I guarantee you will continue to come back for more. I definitely will be going back and I drive from Virginia!!! read more

China Buffet - Heavenly sushi! - Chinese Near Me - Kannapolis, North Carolina

I walked into the place, a bit stuffy and out dated decor but for a place somewhat in the middle of nowhere... what the heck can't be that bad I thought! So agree to 11.99 for a buffet plate. I walk the food aisles horrified at over and under cooked food lined the rows. I immediately opted for the hibachi though the ingredients were in lukewarm water (not ice), and the raw shrimp covered in a white liquid of some kind. 15 minutes later I gathered what I believed to be the remaining edible parts of this lack luster buffet. Unsurprisingly I was literally covering unbearable pieces in napkins every 2-3 bites. Disgusting. I had barely taken a single bite of 8-9 items. And alerted the "manager" that the hibachi was drenched in peanut oil and how the rest of the food piece by piece wasn't cooked adequately. After reviewing all of this for 10-15 minutes, she yells in another language (mandarin?), then she offered only to either weigh all the food on the table and I pay per pound and take it home... or pay the regular buffet price... I, currently sitting at the point of irritated and vomiting, handed her the 12 dollars... she seemed much more consumed in 12 bucks than whether or not she had just given a Customer food poisoning. Please AVOID this place, it's poor management, cleanliness, & awful taste ... altogether. I assure you I did you a favor. Please keep your money. read more

I don't understand why people expect gourmet food at a 9$ per person buffet. I really don't. The food here is great. It's not to die for, but it's good. The sushi is always amazing though and is a recommendation for everyone to try, especially since it's included. The hibatchi grill is good as well and I enjoyed the food. My complaints are two. 1. Please fix the bloody air conditioner already. It's a frickin sauna in here most days and makes it really uncomfortable to eat here during the summer time, and since it's the south, that's half the year. 2. The bathrooms. That's all I'm going to say. read more

I went in looking forward to eating here. The food was cold. All the meat was cold. When I let the manager know, she started yelling at me and poking her finger in my food and talking to me like I was 2. The heck?! I'm in the restaurant industry and know there are way better ways to handle a comment like this. Then the food made my stomach sick later, probably cause the food was cold. DO NOT EAT HERE. There are tons of other better places. Like Sunshine Asian in downtown Kannapolis. What's the point of all you can eat if it's gross? And if I yelled at a customer like the way she did I would be fired on the spot. To just now add to it I see there are other reviews that say the food was cold and that the manager (she) was yelling/arguing with someone then too. Hm... read more

I came here for egg foo young and they brought me what looked like an omelette. The quality of the food looked poor as soon as we got our plates. It was nasty. We barely touched our food. They didn't offer to prepare anything else. They gave us a 20% discount on food we didn't eat. Needless to say, I won't be returning. read more
