I hadn't been to a Chinese buffet for a long time, probably since I was in college close to 15 years ago, and just had to scratch that itch. I knew about this place since high school but for some reason had never stopped in. Went there for dinner last night with a friend and it was exactly what I expected. Good variety of basic and budget food, all of it ranging from ok to fairly decent. Service is nothing because they don't have waiters and the atmosphere was kind of odd since no music was playing so it kind of felt like a school cafeteria. I'd probably go back eventually but a buffet stop should be a once in a very long while type of decision, not a regular occurrence. read more

I went to get a fried rice, as soon I see the fried rice I knew it's not cooked so i try to eat if really cook, but it's not. so let the lady to know about the fried rice , she try it and she insisted it's cook. Girl I eat rice for my entire life even not Asian will know if it's cook or not! it Change my entire mood cause that day I want to eat fried rice! Next time they should listen to their costumer, because you don't know that one dish will make the entire day ruined! read more

This place is truly fantastic! I really appreciate the hand sanitizer available right as you walk in; it makes you feel so cared for. The area was spotless, and the variety of food was not only excellent but also incredibly tasty. There was something for everyone, even the kids. My grandkids loved the cheese pizza! I'm curious why they only got such a low rating because I believe they deserve at least four stars! I'll definitely keep supporting this business -- their options are plentiful and delightful. read more

Our family fr Chicago and Indiana all love this place and my kids/family all came last year and also loved it, but this was my first visit. The staff was all really on it, they were refilling all the food and wiping up spills, clearing plates, etc. They were also all really nice and helpful. The bathroom was clean and smelled nice like pinesol, which made me feel like it was clean and sanitary. The prices were really reasonable and we all felt like the selection was really great and everything was really well seasoned and delicious. We had a group of 7, meat eaters and vegetarians and we all got full and left really satisfied. Parking was ample. I know everyone has different experiences, but this place really impressed me, especially bc I feel that it's logical to factor in the price. All the food was nice and hot and the salads and fruits were cold and fresh. We went at about 530 and left about 7, and no one rushed us and they were still replenishing all the food as we were walking out. read more

This being my first time, trying out this Chinese buffet restaurant. I was curious to see if the food was good and if it was worth the money. In my opinion, the food could've been better as far as the taste goes. The food was bland and it wasn't worth the money. If you don't get the food when they bring it from the back to refill the pans, the food is cold/ lukewarm. I was a little bothered by the fact that. If you want soy sauce they have to go soy sauce packets, instead of having the soy sauce table side in the glass bottle. In my opinion that's being cheap with the customer. Overall The restaurant was clean with a nice atmosphere. But I will be looking for other Chinese buffet restaurant that's better. But this Chinese buffet restaurant is one I will not be coming back to. I recommend others to look for better options. read more

Got there at 740p, open til 9. Place is kind of busy. No booths available because they've closed one dining room already and they are emptying the trays of food and not refilling them. They've got another hour plus to be open. Half the trays are empty, the others are old and cold. Not a chicken wing in the place. All the food was nasty and congealed. I had a cup of egg drop soup- THATS ALL ! Asked for a refund, mgr refused cuz I had been there too long WAITING FOR WINGS THAT NEVER SHOWED UP !! Never again will they get our $35 ! Never ever going back. Nasty cheap garbage. Unbelievably Beyond Rude MANAGER. read more

You might be reading the bad reviews and think- "it can't be THAT bad." You'd be wrong. Food was gross, all of it. Sushi rice was hard. Chicken was hard or chewy, no in between. Everything soaked in oil. There was a person lying on the ground across the aisle while we were there. When a server asked the table if the person was okay, they said yep, he's fine. And the restaurant just allowed this person to block the walkway the entire time we were there. Didn't seem to be a medical concern as no one was attending to him. Weird at any restaurant but especially off putting at a buffet where people are walking back and forth to their table and this group of people is yelling at people to "go around!" read more

It's a buffet. There are families who let their kids run loose. The fried shrimp is out for dinner. The food and drink are self service. The staff comes and gets your dirty plates. They are clean up as much as they can. Parents need to control their kids. The food is good. Not great. It's worth the price. read more

Food is honestly amazing, always stocked and fresh. The service was decent except the lady that took our dishes was sort of sour and coughed all over us. The ambiance is decent, not the best but simple. read more

I'm very disappointed!!!! With the people and the food at this restaurant. I went out with the family for my grandsons birthday. I found a piece of plastic that was prepared in the food. After notifying the manager, nothing was done . I am not in the habit of checking my food before I eat, but if I ever come back here, I guess that's what I will have to do. I guess I'm just really worried about a child. Getting the hold of plastic and eating it. read more

Been to this restaurant for years and they never disappoint. Sure covid may have impacted the service at one point but the food remains the same. People saying they got diarrhea have weak stomachs. The interior could be updated, but overall still familiar. read more

Some food was well prepared like beef/broccoli, chicken on skewer, pork ribs, cooked seafood casserole ( you know the fake crab --is always great with all that butter and cheese) and the mushrooms were terrific. Rices and other chicken dishes were below par. I've had better from a grocery store. The cold seafood dish was inedible, the squid were hard as rocks, and cooked fish was way overcooked and no sauce/butter garlic etc to keep it tender while holding temp. No ice cream, no hard or soft serve. Hostess was pleasant but mamma who was clearing tables was grumpy. read more

Clean and well stocked but food is not all that great. Would have to try some other one before I would return. read more

The Service and Workers are nice a Respectful, Alot of Options and a slection of drinks, Plates Cups and Utensils 100% Clean. Bathroom spotless No rats No Animals. 10/10 Would go again ! read more

The experience started with being kicked out of a "closed" section to be moved to a new section which they just about kicked us out of by the time we were going to leave. We were only there for an hour and we arrived two hours before closing. Only one dish was replaced with a new plate all the others were old and almost empty. They also parked a big trash can next to us all night to close off the previous section we were originally kicked out of. read more

This place is horrible horrible very terrible and should be closed by the board of health, the service at the front sucks, the food was beyond terrible and bland, it got me and my boyfriend sick. We had to rush home we both had diarrhea... I wish I would have took a crap on they floor the way that food made me and my boyfriend sick, please if you are reading this do not go at all, it made me not want to eat any kind of Chinese food ever again read more

THE BEST boy there fries are good the mushrooms arlight. Stay the for two hours the employees are the best they take away your food in time pls come here no plasti. read more

Haven't been to this place since before covid, but was quickly reminded why. Styrofoam plates, a cardboard box with plastic utensils that everyone is digging through, and cold food. What really did it for us was when a fellow diner USED HER HANDS to separate melted cheese so she could grab a serving. When we complained that we couldn't eat due to the conditions, the cashier just apologized. Didn't ask about the other person using her hands on the food. Nothing. No offer for a refund. The sign asking people not to grab food with their hands should have been a good indicator that it's a problem there. Gross. read more

Food was cold and lots of empty bins. It looks like what was left had been sitting there for a while. People are paying to enjoy food and have plenty of choices for food. The hostess was rude and inattentive to the guests as they were coming in. The place just looks dark and gloomy. No music or upbeat sounds to have people there. Spend your money elsewhere and save yourself the headache and aggravation of dissatisfaction of this establishment. I just don't know how this place is still open and stays in business. read more

Mostly all buffets use MSG which will give you diarrhea I ho to the grill only and ask for salt and pepper only, just a FYI.

AMAZING EVERYTHING! staff is hardworking, food is amazing, fresh restock, amazing options! their crab rangoons are easily the best. definitely recommend and will be going again read more

My wife and mother in law went there yesterday and had lunch. Within an hour, my wife had diarrhea and my mother in law about 1/2 hour later. They used to go there for lunch anytime they were in the area. But after yesterday, they won't be back. read more

This place has gone down since I've last visited which was pre-Covid days. The price for lunch is $12/person and on Sundays it's $16/person all day. The food was pretty standard but a lot of it was pretty lukewarm and very bland. The atmosphere was pretty quiet - no music at all playing. Everything is eaten off of styrofoam dish ware. The most annoying part was as we were getting ready to leave, the waitress stood at the table behind us and just waited for us to go so she could clean the table. I never felt so rushed to leave a restaurant. read more

I wish I would have checked current reviews before returning here. My son picked China Buffet for his birthday dinner. Just spent just under $70 for my family of 5, and there was little selection and almost everything was OLD. I just picked a couple of things that looked safe to eat. That did not matter as I barely made it home and to the bathroom to vomit, while my wife ended up running to do number 2. They have the CHEAPEST foam plates and plastic forks and spoons. They don't even offer a plastic knife to cut their hard ass food. I am truly saddened by what this once nice establiment has turned into. Thanks for ruining my son's birthday dinner! Please close it down ASAP. P.S. I wish I could leave 0 stars as this was the biggest waste of time and money I have experienced in a very long time. read more

It's Sunday at noon The food is Luke warm. I paid $50 for 4 people to get cold food It's also kinda gross. I'm not sure but I'd have to say the food was from the night before. How can a place that early in the day have cold food? I'd pass this place up if I were you. It also isn't very clean. I wish I would have went to McDonald's! read more

Used to come here often. Used to be really good. Went here with the family to eat today. We weren't too happy. One in the party had the shrimp sushi... after a few minutes of a sudden stomach cramp. He mentioned the shrimp tastes off. Well you know a run to the bathroom and use of the trash can because the men's stall was being used. He felt a lot better. Went and mentioned about the shrimp and asked for one refund from a party of 5... nope "you ate too much" excuse was giving. Run away. They lost this families business. read more

Dog shit buffet goof service considering your just tipping a bus boy. 100 percent self service I expect to have the shits tomorrow

My son loves to come to this play. Have to say... It's a China Buffet. What do you really expect. The food is hot. They have a large selection for a buffet place. They offer California rolls. Which my kids love because they believe they are eating sushi. Gotta keep 'em cultured ya know. It could be cleaner, the food is good but not great. They do offer chop sticks at the front if you ask for them. Table service is pretty decent. I do get enough to eat when I go. Would I eat here often...probably not. But when we do go, we like it. read more

Introduced my 85 year old step dad to Asian food. He loved the variety, though he thought the octopus was chewy! (I thought it was fine.) The food was great, as usual. The price was as expected and very reasonable. We're all wearing masks and the staff kept their distance because of the pandemic, but they still kept the tables clean and were polite and friendly. Will be back - probably with my step dad. read more

Food was not good, bathrooms dirty, staff rude. I have never had a server, let alone an attendant at a buffet question a tip. Like most typical buffets, you pay first and gratuity had been added to the bill already as we did not have any cash. As we were standing to leave, 2 attendents rushed our table, before we even finished gathering our stuff, pointing to the table and asking where the tip was. My husband explained we already added it to our bill. They were very foward for expecting cash from a table that they only cleared a couple dishes from. Everything was self serve, including drinks and silverware. We will not be returning! read more

The food was terrible I hated it everything looked disgusting even the desserts but it was this one coffee cake tasting one that I liked I tried eating what was safe and that turned out being nasty the fired was nasty the buffalo chicken was nasty the cream cheese ragoons was okay the fried rice was not good no eggs not enough meat nor vegetables they do have some nice sugar biscuits the cups was paper cups they had plastic forks and spoons no real dishes which was disturbing but in overall DONT COME HERE!!!!!!! Even if it's an zombie apocalypse STAY AWAY NEVER COMING BACK ONE TIME THING HOPEFULLY THEY GET SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!! THE WORST COSTUMER SERVICE EVER DIDNT SEE ANY CHINESE OR ASIAN PEOPLE JUST BLACKS AND MEXICANS. read more

I just went there tonight. I wish I hadn't. Most food was room temperature or cold. Lots of dishes were definitely NOT FRESH. I complained. They said they would speak to the kitchen staff. The crab Rangoon were absolutely inedible. So disappointing!! Tasted disgusting. It's a shame because they used to be good just a few months ago and especially pre pandemic. But after tonight I will not be going back ever again. read more

Not a really good Chinese noodle selection. Just one noodle selection? And the rest is meata, seafood, American food. I was looking forward to soba noodles or something with soy sauce in it. So disappointed barely finished our first plate and left. read more
