Traveling to Cincinnati from Detroit and made a pit stop. Self admitted I'm a sucker for a "bad buffet", I like variety but this place didn't meet an already low bar. The booth I was seated at smelled of animal (cat?) urine. Absolutely gross. There's a table with silverware you grab, and a lot of the silverware was not fully clean. The food was your average run of the mill Chinese buffet food. A lot was soft and lukewarm. Nothing to write home about. The egg rolls were mushy. I did like the Hawaiian chicken though (it was recently replenished so it was warm enough). The waitress was really nice. I'll give them that. Won't be returning. One time was enough. read more

The service was fantastic and the workers are nice here. I love their chicken and Broccoli and their egg drop soup.

This place is great. Our regular spot to grab a quick bite. The waitress (pretty sure one of the owners) is very nice and remembers where we like to sit and our drinks. Love this place. Food is also amazing. Wish they had a more varied sushi bar but still is nice. read more

Food options are decent with three Buffet rows but everything is plastic from the plates to the silverware and the place is run down and dirty. read more

China City Buffet - Inside at lunch - Chinese Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

Atmosphere - Strip Mall decor. It was around 8pm and we were in the mood for Chinese food. Unfortunately, in the area the options were limited. Especially at that time of night. We are not crazy about buffets, but we decided to give this a try. The restaurant is somewhat dingy and the furniture is cheap and dated. There is a combination of booths and tables. They use paper plates and plastic cutlery (which I assume is due to Covid). Service - Good. Not much to do for a staff person in a buffet, but bring drinks, clear tables of used service items, and keep the food trays full at the buffet. All areas of service were handled well and promptly. Food - Average. The selection was very limited in terms of Chinese food items. In fact, there were nearly as many "American food items". What there was, was hot and tasted OK. I especially liked the Hot n Sour soup. The chicken lo mein was bland with very little chicken. The fried rice was not very good. The sweet n sour chicken, the General Tso's chicken and Teriyaki chicken were decent as well, but they were not as hot (temperature wise) as I would have preferred. Overall - Just OK. If I were to return to the area and wanted Chinese food I would look for other options read more

We were craving Chinese food after a Pickleball tournament and discovered this place tucked away in a strip mall. We haven't done anything like this since the pandemic and were a little anxious about it, but since we have both had the vaccine we gave it a try. The restaurant is fairly large and all employees wear masks. All plates and utensils are plastic and styrofoam, so not my favorite way to eat. One buffet had soups and eggs rolls, spring rolls, etc. The soup was extremely hot, but the wonton soup was very good. The egg roll was good also. Next stop was the entree station. Not as much to choose from as I had anticipated. General Tso's, Lo Mein, teriyaki chicken and some others. The other buffet was full of American food which isn't why we came here, so that was disappointing. There was also a salad and dessert bar. The dessert bar was pretty picked over so we didn't find anything interesting. They did have a chocolate fountain that you could dip marshmallows as well as cookies. Prices were decent, and food was decent, just nothing outstanding. read more

Food was decent, but the service given was awful. They decided to think sweeping up all the dust as opposed to vacuuming was ideal to do right beside customers as they were eating. Drinks were watered down, barely tasted my raspberry tea. read more

This place is great, the food is fabulous even at 2pm. Love the Wings, Sweet Baby Rays Buffalo or Franks. The buffet was always full and delicious, really great food, they have a chef and not a cook. read more

China City Buffet - All I can eat sweet baby rays buffalo wings! - Chinese Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

It's food is great. It's service is very nice, and I like the atmosphere. So I think this is with the visor.

Good things here: All foodbars are open & kept mostly filled most of the time. And now everything else. Walked through buffet Sunday it all looked good. Busy and crowded for all day $11 ish price. But Monday lunch was... BBBAAADDDDD! I'm ok with hot cheesed (?) mussels, but it was rhe only real food edible to me. Another reviewer just gushed over the wings and Baby Rays hot sauce he basted them in. We got there at 11 :45am, 45 minutes after opening, I bit in to the fist drummy of 5 expecting a good wing. WRONG!!! HARD AS STEEL! I thought I had felt 8 razor blades cutting my mouth up! W+F! I spit it out into my hand, not in a napkin I normally would have done discreetly. OMG, a failure to launch. I deskinned a second wing in hopes it was an anomaly, but the wing was 2 seconds from jerky. I tentatively tried a bite of a third, but discarded them to the trash heap on the cheapist Styrofoam plates ever they use here. The chicken piece from a broth was also so overcooked, the tines or the cheapist plastic forks bent and only 2 of 4 pierced the dried bite side piece. A nibble was all I dared. A beef piece in broth, also well done, was tolerable, but still a 3 out of 10. ( Just before we left after my customary restroom visit to relieve my self of excess liquid and wash up) the beef had now dried to jerky as the minute broth had all but boiled away. The crab ragoon, so over fried, had so little filling as to be non existing. More paper in the fortune cookie than filling in the ragoon. Egg drop soup 5 of 10. Everything else 3 out of 10 or less We were foced to eat only the mussels which barely came out. Only 10 mussels at a time and of course the one thing the 5 other tables wanted too. Luckily our table was closest, but we were not full when we left, never to return. Go to Hong Kong Buffet intead. For us in Michigan, both are 1 hour, 1 minute away,this sh!+hole by US75, Hong Kong Buffet by US23. Maybe if you love well done desiccated food, you'll love it on Sunday dinner. Maybe faster turn around will make dishes medium-rare or good. I cannot, in good conscience waste more money on a MAYBE. read more

I went there during COVID and the food was OK but they served it on paper plates with plastic tableware and styrofoam cups.. That was over a year ago.. I returned the other day after visiting in the the hospital.. They upgraded their paper plates to styrofoam, still using plastic tableware and styrofoam cups. I didn't notice any reduction in price for the crappy ambiance. Save your money read more

I got the Buffet, had a little tastes of a lot a dishes! Garlic bread was cold and hard as a rock veg lo mein was good egg roll had no taste at all, many dishes was out and not replenished! Dessert: some of the cakes were good! Banana pudding tasted very fake! I don't eat sushi so I couldn't tell you about that! When this restaurant first opened it was very good! Seems like things are slowly going down hill! I might give them another chance sometime at a later date! read more

Same old buffet my wife went with and ordered fried rice and hot and sour soup. They literally walked up to the buffet, spooned it out of the pans and served it to her! The reason she didn't get the buffet was the little kids sticking their hands into everything. read more

Don't eat here it's that simple. This place is dingy and does not seem to be well maintained. The food is essentially boxed Chinese from a Kroger. Just avoid the stomach ache altogether. read more

I don't leave reviews but this place was bad enough. When we first walked in, it was a little uncomfortably warm and also humid. The front area was cluttered and I was instantly apprehensive about staying, the only reason we did stay was because my wife loves chinese food and it was her choice. When we were sat down it just felt dirty and sticky. I have 2 little girls and I started to worry about our health. Stains everywhere on the carpet, a tacky feel to the tabletop and God knows what underneath. The food. The buffet bars were unnecessarily close to each other so getting to what you think looks good is difficult. There was Chinese food on only 1/2 of the trays which surprised me because when you go to a chinese place, you expect chinese food. I tried the pepper steak, mushroom and beef, lo mein noodles and rice. I'm not sure if that was beef at all. It had a soft texture, not tender, more like dense stringy bread if you can imagine that. The sauce did not have any flavor to it other than sweet. I couldn't eat anything except the noodles. My youngest is 1 whom eats almost anything we put in front of her, she didn't even want the chicken or rice. My 3 year old chose pizza and I some kind of chicken. Again, I was surprised they had pizza. She barely eats regardless so I can't say the reason she didn't eat was the food. My wife was determined to enjoy herself so she went up to get something different but resulted in the same wasted "food". So, the kicker was the soft serve chocolate ice cream my 3 year old chose. She loves ice cream as any 3 year old would but did not eat it. She said it tasted bad. How do you make bad soft serve? Anyways, I gotta go find something to eat and pray my family doesn't get sick. read more

It didn't take that long for me to decide how many stars to give this place. This was the first place we checked out when I first moved into the area. Why, you ask? Because my grandma is in charge of where we eat out or else she won't eat at all (works like a charm). Naturally, she wanted Chinese. Luckily, we were all pretty hungry- party of 4 that is, so Chinese lunch buffet it is. It was late afternoon on a Thursday so there were very few people there. Why...one...star? 1. They use MSG. I don't care if they advertise otherwise. I can TASTE it, yo. 2. Food is either really greasy or too dry from being over the heater for too long. 3. I don't even want to know how long that sushi has been sitting out there, especially knowing there is no one "manning" it. 4. I got tired of the food after the first plate. That...doesn't...happen...often. Sure, it did the job. I ate Chinese food and paid less than $10 per person. But would I return? Would I crave it? Nay on both accounts. Case closed. read more

It was the normal Chinese buffet! Food was like most others I've been to. read more

China City Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

I use to go when the place first opened and its gone down hill a lot since. First off, this place is the family's baby sitting place so expect a lot of kids of various ages bored and running around if you go on a weekend. The selection and quality are definitely going down hill. Nothing seemed fresh. What should be crispy golden brown is barely cooked and barely brown. Considering the amount of grease in the items I'd say the fry oil was old and not to temp. The place looks like it hasn't had a deep cleaning in months, especial the water feature in the front of the house. None of the employees are happy and the person working the checkout just seems angry about everything. The trinkets they sell at the check out can't be making them any money because of how low quality they are. I would just donate most of them to Salvation Army clear the counter space for a plant. I don't think its a lost cause but a solid cleaning and change in ownership could bring it back. read more

It was a decent lunch buffet. I would have liked more shrimp dishes but otherwise was fine for lunch. Cost about $7 and $1.25 for beverage. They don't have a hibachi grill like many Chinese restaurants do today. read more

I'm from Columbus and we've been to like...every Chinese buffet in town. This is one of the best. I mean it's your standard buffet but the food is prettttyyy good and their sushi bar is LEGIT. You can't expect much from a place like this..but my expectations were exceeded (especially since the reviews suck.) I used to drag my boyfriend to buffets all the time so he's not a huge fan anymore but even he said it's the best! That says a lot so 2 thumbs up from us! read more

It's okay. Good for a cheap meal when you're really hungry. I think they could be a little better about keeping fresher food on the buffet. Sometimes things are a little dry or super greasy. I generally like it, and I'll continue to go back every once in a while read more

Just visited China City Buffet for the first time. Have heard some decent reviews from co-workers so thought it was time to give it a try. Positives: reasonably priced, main dishes like chicken teriyaki, beef w/mushrooms, hawaiian chicken, all very good. Negatives: I wanted to have some vegetables to balance out the buffet guilt, but all they had were brussel sprouts. Not much "healthy" to speak of. They had a chocolate fountain, but it looked like it needed a bit of upkeep and there were no strawberries :( They also had sushi, but I am not a fan, so I can't say if it was good or bad. All in all, I would visit again, just be aware that its buffet food at a decent price...so you get what you pay for. read more

Yesssss...I celebrated both my 30th birthday and Christmas here with my family, because I'm classy like that. Definitely the finest Chinese buffet the Toledo area has to offer, which, let's be honest, may not be saying all that much. A good 1/3 of the stuff isn't really foreign fare, unless fried chicken and buffalo wings actually originated in Beijing. But the staff is friendly and cool, and you get a whole lot of food for not that much dough. BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. read more

You know what? I'm a fan. Its our second time. Some bad reviews on Yelp, but I think you need to judge by the fact it is a buffet restaurant. If you expect 4-star cuisine for less than ten bucks a person, you're a cheap, elitist, foolish blowhard. If you expect authenticity at a low-dollar buffet in NW Ohio, you're a dreamer. If you tell me you can TASTE MSG, you're a liar. The food is not authentic: it is Americanized Chinese, and there are comfort foods like chicken wings, fries and fried fish. Face it; young kids in this area are not fans of Moo Goo Gai Pan. If you are the business owner and want families that did NOT adopt little Asian babies, you gots ta have some food for the round-eyes! What they DO have: A good COLD sushi bar - not a diverse selection and no raw tuna, but again, think of the price point and it is AYCE. They do have a great veggie roll with crisp Oshinko and the Cali Roll is dope. Also, a quaint Maki Sushi of rice and sealegs. The hot food bar is stocked with HOT food. I never encountered one dish that was in the danger zone temperature-wise. VERY IMPORTANT and a reason to run (to avoid the runs!) Good stuff: Very good pot stickers with dipping sauce, the veggie lo mein noodles are garlicky, gingery goodness, the pepper steak is tender, the General Tsos Chicken is nice (but not very spicy), the Black Pepper Chicken is tops. They had a roasted pork loin that you carve yourself both times I was there. I was surprised, as I am used to seeing a slow-cooked shoulder, and expected it to be dry. First time it was very tender, but this time it was dry. It probably is more often than not. Low fat content makes it hard to be moist for any amount of holding time. So yes. I will return. It is good food. Temperatures are what they should be. Prices are good. Oh, and the fried "donuts" are a good final bite. read more

Being chinese buffet i didnt have high expectations, but wow. pretty bad. and expensive. and made me sick.

For less than $10, a good deal but I've definitely had way better Chinese food. Their food is greasy and I couldn't finish anything that I brought back to the table because it was hard to have more than some. Now, that's not a good sign. I love chow mein but I couldn't stand it here! I didn't even like the dessert. I haven't craved it and doubt whether I'll go back. read more

The buffet selection is pretty typical of a Chinese restaurant, but it's consistent and the sauces for the selections are good. Frequent turnover on food, so you know it doesn't sit for a long time in the steam tray. read more

Worst Chinese buffet ever. Terrible sushi, as far as buffet sushi goes. My stomach is hurting pretty bad. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the plague. I would give it zero stars if I could. read more

Ok. I've been here a few times. It's been bad at times and really good at others. The key is to go at a busy time so they are filling the trays with fresh food continuously. If you go when it's slow it's not good because they aren't "freshening" the food as often as they should. We went on a Friday around 7pm with 3 teenage, picky eating girls. They loved it. The food was hot and fresh. The server was quick and attentive. I give it 3 stars due to the few bad times I've been there. All during lunch. Go on a weekend night and I'm sure you'll like it. read more

I've never been to a Chinese buffet before since the thought of them creaped me out. Work ended up taking me here for lunch and I was amazed. The selection is huge! couldn't fit enough on my plate but luckily I could go up for second and thirds. Plan on going back again. read more

This is Chinese Buffet at its best - they are becoming far and few between. Our Hunan Palace in BG was closed thanks Tony Geftos's Stupid Restaurant Report Card and the Wood County Health department. Never ever had an issue with that place - ever. Had been a patron for close to 20 years. I was in complete despair closest Chinese buffet was on Airport highway- then like auras of light from heaven was at Krogers in P-Brug and there it was China Buffet : )))) My heart is full of joy again. My frown is turned upside down. What do you guys want if you want AAA Chinese food then go find a classy Chinese place - me I want to eat and sample a lot of different things - MSG's if you don't like MSG's then you should not be eating Chinese Food anyway. If you can taste MSG go see your Doctor as you have something wrong with you. Geftos stay the hell away from this Buffet same for WCHD. Look it is what it is, I have never been in a Chinese restaurant that probably had no health violations LOL. This place will be getting that business from the void left by the closing of Hunan Palace. Bad reviews of a buffet that is less than $10 and give such a huge variety of excellent food is unwarranted and unfair. Upon learning that our Favorite Chinese Buffet dive was no longer in business we settled for the China in BG (not a buffet) we left hungry - paid much more in price for the same quality food in small portions the dinner had one large Ice cream scoop of white rice and a large soup bowl full of Moo GOO Gi pan for $12 bucks and some change we felt a little ripped. Instead of $20 for 2 we paid almost $30. So it is what it is Good, Cheap, Excellent, variety and a nice clean restaurant with friendly staff. And yes its made by oriental people not Caucasian kids. 7.50 will get you King Buffet in BG with like tiems on the buffet and small selection and a huge disappointment in variety ( everything was Orange) The next best is The Happy Rose Buffet on Airport Highway its just a little further to drive. : )) read more

Awesome, as far as Chinese buffets go. In my opinion, the best in the Toledo area. everything that I have got there was really good... In especially love the Thai chicken, and the tangerine marshmallow dessert and the little bacon wrapped chicken things. Highly recommend this place... it's best to go when they are busy, and the food is getting refilled alot... it's still good when it's not as fresh as it was when it is first put out....but everything fresh is excellent. read more

This buffet has a great selection of food. I really love coming here when I'm hungry for Chinese (and I have gone to many Chinese places to find that this one is the best around). Buffets usually have something that they're not good at making and this buffet seems to have everything tasting very well! Really love this place and highly recommend it! read more

China city buffet has excellent food and the staff is very caring and helpful I would eat there all the time if I could

Really enjoyed it. Good food selection and very clean! Wait staff friendly and attentive. Well decorated.

okay so my reason for giving this restaurant one star is ALL of the food the last time i went was crusty and gross and IT MADE ME EXTREMELY SICK after the fact of me being there. the crab rangoons suck and so do the egg rolls, noodles, rice, and chicken. 10/10 DONT recommend . read more

fairly decent buffet. If you are not in the mood for chinese there are some other options so you are good to go. They had pudding and maybe something else for dessert. They have coupons in valpak so overall it is ok. read more

Stopped by here while traveling to/from the Detroit airport to pick up a relative. There's not much between Dayton and Detroit. China City's buffet had a good selection for a Thursday afternoon. The food was fresh and restaurant was clean. I would stop by here again if we travel through the area and are hungry. read more

This buffet has the worst staff, rude and lazy. I left my card and the waitress took it and she she brought back. When we were leaving they were literally yelling at us for not paying. There is no manager to talk to and the staff don't even speak English and to top it, they tried to charge us more claiming they don't have the ticket. This was really a bad experience and I'm never coming back there. read more
