I heard from friends who had traveled through Clarinda that the Hua Yung restaurant was both…read morecharming in a traditional Chinese way, and had a delicious buffet with both Americanized and traditional Chinese food. I am a big fan of Chinese food, so a few friends and I drove there to check it out. Both the ambiance and the food were fantastic. It was well worth the several hour drive that we took to get there. If I lived near Clarinda, I would be frequent customer of this restaurant. I was really surprised to see a few negative reviews as well. I makes me wonder, "were we in the same restaurant"? The ambiance was nice. The decor was charming. The place was really clean and neat. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was prompt and kind. I don't have a single negative thing to say. I think that to have such a delightful Chinese buffet in a small down is a real blessing.

The buffet here is pretty good, they offer a nice variety, and put out just enough, that fresh food…read moreis restocked often . It seems to be a "family-run" businesss. "Old-school" Chinese decor. Lanterns Zodiac paper placemats And such The made -to -order menu items are even better , though it always seems tempting to "just get the buffet" which is a very fair(cheap) price. They Have most of the classics offered . Also soups ( excellent hot & sour soup here!) and a wide choice of desserts ! Fancy pastries, almond cookies, fruits & puddings! I really like the "pu-pu plAtter". It has a nice assortment of filling appetizers . Always get dumpling sauce for dip. With a cup of tea it makes such a nice "refreshment "to share while doing errands in Clarinda!

It is your run of the mill Chinese restaurant. Conveniently on the main street with adequate…read moreparking. Minimal decor inside, restrooms complete opposite of the counter, and only half the menu is on the wall. So if you are a first timer you may want to grab a to go menu for the full array. It is order at the counter but they do bring you your order. Also conveniently they serve the entrees in to-go boxes whether you order dine in or take out. I like that. Paper plate for the appetizers. The crab rangoons while filled appropriately, in my taste, did have a weird taste to it. I can't put my finger out it even now looking back. They were alright though. Not going to order them next time if I come in though because of that. Which is sad considering thats like prime number one for Americans to order at Chinese restaurants lol. Also my favorite so, disappointing. The entree I got was good. The steak texture was mushy? If that makes sense... I could tell what it should've been but it was just very soft... my steamed rice was very pressed and overly steamed in several spots where it lost recognizable rice shape. Which is whatever I mean I ate my whole entree mainly as leftovers later. The dumplings were crispy and good. Decent and average. Not stellar but worth it you're in the mood for Chinese.

But I can order and tell them to spice things up and talk to him a little bit and then I get the food that I really can remember, I like my food spicy and if I tell them to spice it up, it is done like I ask, but you have to be kind of careful if you're not careful on your words they just miss what you're saying sometimes but quite frankly if you spice it up and tell them that you like old style Chinese food and then order something they will make it old style, which I really enjoy.

The food came out quickly from the kitchen and was piping hot. I had the mu shu pork.

My wife had a beef stir fry which she thought had great flavor. Overall a surprisingly good meal.
