Took my 9yr old out for lunch in a Wednesday and it cost $35 for us to eat old dry rubbery bland and toxic tasting food. It's been awhile since I've been here and the food was way better. Prices go up and down with inflation and other factors. But the quality of the product shouldn't decrease at the same rate. Never ever eating at this place again!! Save your money and time and simply eat Mongolian. read more

Yan's China Buffet is well worth going to these days, the food and variety is really great and affordable and the service is on top for seating you where you want and refilling your drink! Well worth giving them our business! read more

Crap food. Gets worse every time they change out workers. Prices have gotten outta line.

I went at 11am and it was almost empty which I loved. The tables and restaurant was very clean. Food tasted good! Haven't visited this place in 3-4 years and it still looks the same. Employees were polite and did not bother us. There is a lot of parking available. 3 adults ($38.37) 2 sodas ($3.38) read more

We went there 6 months ago and the food was good.we went there the other day and the food just sucked.the meat was dry and rubbery. We will not be going back to this place read more

WOW, 1st time here, and expected the typical buffet. For the price, this was the best..food was plenty, everything was hot and fresh, no stale or weird tasting food. The protein variety was fantastic, and we all went back too taste all the tasty selections. Good service..this is a winner. We will be back!!! read more

Came in on a whim because we were driving through the area. Three of us had the buffet and we all three loved everything! Food was hot, choices were many, no shortage of meat dishes, and everything was excellent. My roommates went back there the very next day! read more

Great food! All you can eat Chinese-American cuisine. Awesome atmosphere! Totally recommend lunch and bring a friend

Always reasonable prices for excellent variety of items. Tasty food and great service.

Delicious food I love bringing my family here. Super friendly staff and always here to serve.

At the time of writing this review, this place is now open for in-person dining with all of their standard buffet options available. You can also order from this place on DoorDash and Uber Eats but their menu is not as expansive (not even close) as their in-restaurant buffet options. Their portion size for orders placed on Uber Eats and DoorDash is amazingly worth the price! For what you get the price and portion sizing is definitely cheaper than Panda Express for sure! You have to know what to order from here and having eaten at 5-star Chinese restaurants in major cities around the country and growing up in an Asian community outside of LA, though I understand what "great" actually is, I also understand that that level is just not going to be found in Walla Walla. That said, you're going to find dishes like orange chicken great here--possibly even better and definitely cheaper than Panda Express. Their lo-mein and rice noodle dishes are as basic as it can come--very bland--but not horrible by any means (a little soy sauce should do the trick!). Their black pepper chicken is just OK. Every time I come here, the service is super friendly, humble, and helpful. In all, I look at this place as not great quality, but cheap and quick. read more

China Buffet - Pricing--Open for seating again as of 2/15/2021 - Chinese Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

So disgusting. We ordered an hour in advance and there was nothing ready when we arrived. Upon walking in, a lady grabbed a to go container and started scooping old food from the buffet. We complained and she acted like she had no clue why we were complaining. NEVER again read more

If you just like standard bland food, but just want to eat a lot, this is the place for you.

China Buffet - EGG-SHELL - Chinese Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

Update time. This buffet now includes sushi! And they still have my favorite little coconut cookies! Thankfully, those cookies are small. I can eat 3 and not feel guilty at all! Unfortunately, they also still have those Chinese donuts (which I seriously doubt are actually in China, but who knows. Oh, the owners would, because on my latest trip in, the owners and family were in China). Noodles are still wonderful, and a new favorite of mine is the peppered chicken. Great flavor. Best advice I can give is to try a little of everything on the first plate and then load up on the items that you love on the second, third, or fourth plate. read more

China Buffet - Coconut cookies! Eat one or five or six because they're good! - Chinese Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

For a regular Chinese food buffet, the food served here is very acceptable. It is not a gourmet meal but the flavor is what you expect to get at a down-to-earth family buffet. There are enough choices for everyone to find a variety of foods to eat. The most common dish is chicken but there are seafood dishes, vegetable dishes and the always available beef and broccoli. There are numerous desserts, sushi, soups, doughnuts, pizza, noodles and rice. The meal includes water but all other drinks are extra. They have domestic beer as well as Tsingtao. Do not go expecting a romantic dinner. Go because you are hungry for Chinese food. read more

We love China buffet ! Only thing we would recommend is more friendly wait staff-- especially the female employee!

My family enjoyed coming to that place. We actually feel really welcome. And also The people there who? They make you feel. They make you feel like family. Thank you for having open this place. I hope everybody who read this comment. Enjoy that place like with you. My family are really happy. To go, that place is really good food. read more

Granted. It is a buffet. So do not expect super hot food. Choices? Yes! Quality? No. But again what do you expect from a buffet. If nothing else the tator tots made my young daughter happy - but to pay $5 for a kids meal that considered of tator tots and soft serve? Not worth it! The rest of the family picked from the vast choices only to be disappointed in the soggy eggrolls and cream cheese wontons with only a drop of cream cheese. If you are in a rush. This is a quick place but don't be expecting great food. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY! There's an Applebee's right across the parking lot! Go there! Food poisoning and constant throwing up after eating here is not what I imagined! read more

They didn't serve shrimp for lunchtime that's the only reason I come here to eat I like there sushi thou it's pretty good

Was really happy with this place. From the outside it looked quaint and on the inside it was clean and nice with good quality food and nice selection. And to top it off lunch was only 11.75. Will be back read more

The food was ok. The food poisoning was not. Ate here and then got sick about 8 hours later and to keep a long sordid and sad story short lost about 15 pounds in a couple hours. read more

The buffet is a good value. The food was warm, drinks refilled, and a wide enough selection to make one happy. The price is reasonable, $23.40 for 2 for lunch. You cannot expect haute cuisine but you can expect to eat well and leave full. read more

Food was good everything was freshly made only down part it's pretty expensive but highly recommend this restaurant

An alright place place to eat. It's an all you can eat buffet, so you don't leave hungry. The food isn't fine dining, but it isn't too bad either. It's okay. It's filling and you eat what you want. The selection is decent. read more

A decent Chinese buffet with the standard items done with some expertise like broccoli beef, hot and sour soup, and a variety of seafood dishes on the weekend. It even has a limited selection of basic sushi like California rolls. One thing there, they do the sushi rice pretty well with the right kind of rice and seasoning. There is a pretty good variety of items from fried items, soups, seafood, beef dishes, chicken dishes, veggie dishes and even a good assortment of desserts! Something for everyone. Waitstaff is pretty good too but only get your drinks and bill since it's a buffet. As I understand it, they can get you a particular dish off the menu but I rarely do that since their selection is so good. They do keep the various items full and hot (or cold as needed) so I've rarely seen them run out of something. A good choice for a Sunday buffet IMHO. read more

With the sound of twangy Lil Chinese music in the background and the nfl network on the Tele my wife enjoyed some very good and very fresh Chinese food. The wait staff were very kind and courteous. The weekends are a Lil more spend butt that's life ;-) read more

I mean it's a Chinese buffet guys. A lot of these reviews seem to be expecting 5 star food. Sorry to break it to you but your going to a buffet and a Chinese one at that. The food isn't the best and the decor is very outdated, but for the amount you pay I think it's worth it. The food is really hit and miss on if it's good or not, but some of it is good. As a broke college student it works. read more

I have eaten here in times past and I've never been disappointed with the food, the atmosphere, and the overall cleanliness. And tonight was no exception. The wait staff was polite and helpful and the meal was above par. read more

I am giving this restaurant 4 stars because of a few differing factors... #1 If you have kids, this is obviously the place to go. They have a buffet! My kids LOVE the many choices of delectables they have to enjoy; there is the popular aquarium that pretty much every child gravitates to while they're at the restaurant (hence the "do not touch" sign attached on the outside of the aquarium); there is also a little water feature that my children find incredibly fascinating to look at/beg to throw pennies into as we are paying for the meal. #2 If you go on Sunday's, you might even be pleasantly surprised at the variety of food that you, an adult, may enjoy! I have been to this establishment on several different days of the week, and, by far their freshest and best is served on Sundays. It is their busiest day, and they do keep their food hot and ready best on Sunday. That said, you may wonder what these folks serve up at their Chinese buffet, and truly they have a remarkable amount of Chinese food, (stir-fry vegetables, lots of varieties of fried up chicken in different sauces, wontons, egg rolls, spring rolls, egg drop soup, fried rice, steamed rice, sweet and sour pork, at least one type of seafood that is not generally eaten in Walla Walla etc etc) as well as the typical nasty pizza and chicken nuggets for the Picky eater, child or adult. Not to mention a surprising variety of sushi, and then other items I can't even remember. Also, another "winner" with the children is they have soft serve ice cream, jello, cookies, and generally some other kinds of desserts to please the sweet tooth in most. #3 Finally although the atmosphere here is a little wanting, I'd say they keep the place clean enough that I can forgive them, and trust them not to be spreading any food-born illnesses to myself or kids. Honestly, this place is not date night quality, but it is definitely family friendly, and a place my kids get so excited to "get" to go to that it makes me wonder. And because of all that, I give it 4 stars. read more

WOW. DO NOT GO......... Even the won ton soup was just water had to add soy sauce to even get a taste. read more

Some of the food was delicious but some of the item were off. Teriyaki chicken was sweet, the green beans were cold, the fried won tons were soggy... Staff was very nice and attentive, though. If I were to return, I'd be more choosy of what to eat. read more

The most disgusting"Chinese" food I've ever had. My stomach hurt after eating here. Went to lunch here with my Grandparents and it was terrible. You want a good buffet of Chinese food in town go to Pacific Express, that place is fantastic! I will convince my Grandparents to go somewhere else next time. YUK. read more

This place us to be really good. Now the food itself looks old sitting in the tray and there's always an employee following after you mixing the food I've seen a lady put hot water on the rice because of how hard it was from sitting there for so long instead of throwing it away ! read more

A buffet, and definitely better than average. Includes lots of seafood, some sushi at $11 for dinner. Food was hot, plenty of options to choose from. Dessert could have been better in terms of options. My second time. Had some mild stomach issues after, but it could have been gluten in the beer I had after. Quick, good, better than many buffets, good value. read more

Large variety of delicious food at a reasonable price.
