All of the food is always warm and delicious. This has been an excellent restaurant for many years and is highly recommended.

owner is a rip off, he chargers different prices on his carry out, when he puts your food in the bag is when he decides how much to charge based on how much food he thinks you are taking. three times in and same carry out order and three different prices. all three in the last 30 days, 1st time 16.00 - 2 time 17.00 and 3 rd time, three days ago 20.00...food is only fair, over priced....Barboursville has a better Chinese restaurant and buffet is only 7.99..... read more

It has been a long time since I've eaten here. I was wonderful every thing I tried was great. Service was good, buffet was kept fresh and full even at 1:30 in the afternoon. read more

Absolutely incredible- that's not the just routine dining for buffet style Chinese. I've ate Chinese all over North America and have never ever had a meal that was this good. Food was fresh, clean in area, plenty plenty of options, and the only egg rolls I've had since the 80's that were crispy warm and delicious.. if you're in the neighborhood can't miss here read more

We've been going there for 30 years. Changed owners a couple of times. Lately, seemed greatly improved. New layout. food was all hot and fresh. Buffet tables were spotlessly clean and well tended. All of the soups and entrees were good. read more

Not always perfect- food varies in temperature/freshness - but still my favorite Chinese buffet in the area, with a friendly and hardworking staff. Always clean and tidy, too! The "red chicken," chicken with mushrooms, and egg rolls are all excellent. read more

Is there a rating less than 1? It was HORRIBLE!!! The food was not fresh and barely qualified as warm. One of the reasons my daughter likes to eat there is for the crab legs, which they didn't have. We were the only guests in the restaurant, but still had a difficult time getting attention from the staff. They seemed to be involved in some kind of argument, but since I don't speak their language I can only guess. Going there has been a super reward (birthdays, graduations, etc) for years & I WILL NEVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN & WILL TELL EVERYONE POSSIBLE TO DO THE SAME!!!! read more

excellent buffet excellent service prices are low for the amount of food you get!!!!! i love this place!!!!! read more

China Chef's dinner buffet is excellent. For a total of $8.95 per person I'm sure I'll return again with my family!! The Hot & Sour soup was so good! I liked how there was a nice kick to it! The Kung Pao Chicken was also delicious. There were generous amounts of chicken in the dish. I liked how the dish was spicy and very enjoyable! Other info: Restaurant is clean! And staff are super friendly too. read more

See all

The first Chinese Buffet I've been to (and I've been to a lot since I travel weekly) where every thing I put on my plate tasted good! The only thing keeping it from 5 star was the temperature of some of the items. The place was clean and the employees were very friendly. The Japanese chicken and Master Chef Chicken were my favorites. read more

They have a sign on the front window that says "Best 3.5 Star Restaurant Around." That should tell you everything you need to know. Who brags about that? It's a 1 star Chinese buffet, and that's being generous. read more

This place is my 2nd home. Ive grown up with china chef since the 80's. Ive always loved the staff there. Charlie if you ever come across this, thank you and your wonderful family for all of your years of hard work and dedication. read more

Save your money don't make the mistake I did. Hate to be that person but I just don't understand how this place has any good reviews. The rice is literally yellow and inedible tasted stale or old. The chicken is ugh the worst thing I've ever ate only thing I could eat out of the whole meal was corn nuggets which I bought for my toddler..... first time and last time here read more

BEST. RESTAURANT. IN THE WORLD. The buffet is amazing. I literally want this catered at my wedding. 10/10 could not possibly recommend this place more. read more

They'll earn a star for an easy phone order, an on-time pickup with friendly service, and decent crab Rangoon, but that's it. This was my first visit, and I ordered takeout, but I don't think I've ever had food quite as bad. My wife and I literally took one bite each and threw the rest away. The dish in question is Gen. Tsao chicken, an American Chinese food staple. Crunchy, spicy, and sweet, all balanced out by some steamed broccoli and rice. That is not what we got. We got limp, chewy, cold, completely flavorless "chicken". There may be good dishes at this place, but I doubt I'll go back to find out. read more

This restaurant is amazing!!!!! The sweet and sour chicken and the crab rangoons were definitely my fave!! I'd recommend coming here for a good, cheap Chinese buffet!! read more

I just ordered the pork lo main it's delicious best tender pork 5 stars thank you very much friendly service

Meal was great for $8.50, it includes crab legs shrimp and mussels! I think I emptied half the trays when I was eating! read more

China Chef - Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Scott Depot, West Virginia

Great chinese food for a great price. They definitely should increase their price. Good variety of options, love their pepper chicken. Sooo good! read more

Yikes. The food is bland, a lot of the food on the buffet was actually cold, restaurant was not clean including but not limited to the plates and cups, servers were slow on drink refills despite the restaurant being nearly empty. We love sushi, but you couldn't pay me to try the sushi from their buffet so I cannot speak to that. All the other "hot" food was a completely flavorless Americanized version of Chinese food. Do yourself a favor and just don't. read more

China Chef has a really good buffet at a reasonable price.. Their General Tso's chicken is delicious, and the chicken and broccoli is spot on! The employees are friendly and are happy to get you anything you need or want. Definitely recommend. read more

I love the rice noodles and green beans on the lunch buffet and the prices are super affordable! Highly recommend the egg drop soup too read more

China Chef - they have sushi too! - Chinese Near Me - Scott Depot, West Virginia

We're new to the area and ordered take out. Very bland. We threw it all out. Lesson learned.

This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant as a kid. Decided to stop by with my 5 year old. It was terrible. Food was cold. Wonton soup broth tasted like dish water. We don't hold a high bar for Chinese takeout/buffets but it was just terrible! We won't be back read more

This is a very good buffet. I found all the food hot, fresh and consistently refilled. Place is clean and servers are super friendly. Not much Chinese food around Hurricane it seems so glad it's a good choice. read more

Our visits to China Chef are always disappointing at best. Tonight was the worst. After being seated, we discovered there was practically NO food on the buffet. Seriously! NO FOOD! And they were still going to be open for another hour! A quick inventory revealed one crab leg, about three eggrolls, a like number of Rangoon, very little soup, two pieces of sushi, and perhaps six shrimp, if you dug thru the ice to reach them. And they were preparing to charge us the full buffet price until we objected. I'm giving them one star, only because its impossible to give them zero. Horrid. Don't even bother..... read more

Small buffet ....not much choice ....take out order was good...plenty of food. Friendly staff read more

I am working close by and stopped in for quick lunch. They have a large clean dining room plenty of room for a large group. They were offering a lunch buffet for $6.95 with taxes, so I made a plate to go. The food was very appealing and I was happy with my choices. I would eat here again if in the area. Nothing stood out to me to make me desire to return...typical Chinese buffet place...that's it. read more

Zero stars. I ate here today along with a large group of people. Myself a long with several others got dirty plates from the bar. One plate had a straw paper stuck on it and one plate had the lid to icecream on it. I was disgusted. My friend had something orange inside her cheese cake . The waitress never came and removed plates from our table. I will never go back and I will be reporting them to the Health Department. read more

First and last time I have eaten in this place. The food choices weren't great and some of it was just plain cold.

The time on the door apparently means nothing to them and they close and clean out early so that they can make sure that nobody comes in eat past 915 read more

For all you can eat Chinese this little place will satisfy your craving. The selection of food is good, although some of the food does not taste fresh aka white rice. The service is decent and overall a pretty good place. read more

Highly recommended. Not too busy so don't expect the food trays to be overflowing which is a good thing. They keep the food fresh. Sushi not too good but overall worth the price. Only $8.95 for dinner buffet. Take out also available. read more

I am giving this place one star because the staff is friendly and it isn't possible to give no stars. The buffet is sparse at best and nothing is hot or worth eating. Some things are bland but mostly just bad. I filled up on crab Rangoon and California rolls. read more

My daughter and I were going to eat and I was going to take her to Taste of Asia. She asked if it was a buffet and I told her it wasn't. She said she wanted to go to a buffet so we went to Chine Chef instead. She put three pieces of sushi on her plate along with a few other types of food. She started on the sushi first and ended up only eating one and a half pieces of sushi. I ate too but didn't eat any sushi. The meal went fine, we paid and left. Fast forward to 0600 the next morning and my daughter is throwing up and having diarrhea. The nausea and diarrhea she was experiencing was happening at very frequent intervals so much so that by 0900 I called her doctor and they worked her in at 11. They had to rehydrate her and the only source of her nausea had to have been the sushi. While there are signs on the buffet about the risk of eating sushi, I would think that an 8 year old girl could eat one and a half pieces of sushi and not have severe nausea. Because of this experience, my daughter and I will NOT be back to China Chef. read more

Great greeter / owner. Staff easy to get along with even if English is not the first language. I don't speak Chinese except to say Ni Hao. I've never ordered a dinner or take out; I love the salad bar too much. read more

Good food clean restaurant friendly staff the only problems I have was no soup bowl or handicapped accessible restrooms. Awesome decor. I loved the crab ragoon and corn nuggets. I wouldn't know the soup because no bowls. read more

My boyfriend and I eat here every time he comes in to visit. I have been going here since I was young. Their food is always delicious and their sushi is the best. Their wait staff always keeps up with your drinks and plates. The only complaint i would have would be their desserts. Its always the same thing and they aren't very good...at all. But besides that t's all delicious. read more

My wife and I love eating here, we stopped in this weekend and had some of their buffet food. Its always fresh around lunch time, the pricing is fair if you go around noon, we are fans read more

When I visit my parents or go out to lunch with my sisters, this is usually our go-to place to eat. There is always plenty to choose from on the buffet, and the food is typically fresh. Although, before the lunch-time or dinner-time "rushes", the food tastes a bit stale, as if it's been sitting too long. The waitresses are very polite and always bring us anything we need or provide us with refills when we need them. However, they tend to hover while we eat, especially when we have children with us. We go here to eat, not for the waitresses to play with the children. Overall, the food and services are generally good if you go at lunch or dinner-time. read more
