    Dirty Plates
    Cassandra S.

    Server was very nice and constantly filled our waters. This was their saving grace, the server. Where to start, the broccoli and pork when eating parts of broccoli were cold still. The green beans were not all the way cooked. I took some baked chicken but it was slimy and pink. The ambiance was very quiet. The plates were dirty. There were bugs flying around. No one was using the gloves like they have laying out with a sign to use. TVs throughout but none on. Machines open - see photos.

    I haven't been her for a year or two and they have done an amazing job at bettering the food and service here. I can for lunch on Chinese new year by myself and go right in. Fresh meat on buffet and plenty space to sit. Busy spot for workers to come in at lunch. Buffet was 11$ no drink for all you can eat. Right off fifth street by all the hotels and casino and highway 70.

    Great food and service. We got our drinks quickly. The food was delicious. They have a variety of food to choose from on the buffet. I definitely recommend coming here if you want Chinese food.

    Choices were slim to none

    This place is in a word, terrible. It was uncomfortably humid inside so I stayed away from the 12 dried out pieces of sushi and the fish which left me with like literally 6 other food options because everything else was either an empty tray, dried out, or super sketch. I had about 6 items on my plate to try because I wanted to give it a chance. I love buffets and always make it a point to finish the food on my plate before going for 2nds but the food was so awful I left my plate as is and skipped the 2nd round. I did, however enjoy the ice cream cups and sandwiches. I mean, how could you mess up pre packaged cups? The one star was earned for the staff because the service was on point but I never in my life thought I'd ever leave a buffet so dissatisfied and hungrier than when I came -so sad.

    Plastic sheeting separating part of the dining room makes China House look like it's under construction.

    If you like good Chinese food or are introducing someone to it I'd pass this buffet. On both variety and quality China House lacks. Its selection of around 50 food items during lunch contrasts with 75 to over 100 at other buffets. That meant only one lo mein on the buffet (veggie, with tasteless noodles and very few veggies), no egg foo yung or moo goo gai pan, and a virtual lack of seafood and shellfish. Lettuce was available but other salad ingredients were missing except dressings. Most food items looked tired and I wondered how many were reheated. Vegetable fried rice was dry and also looked reheated. The same for fried chicken and pork on a stick. Sushi rolls were poorly formed and fell apart as I picked them up. Chicken or beef with broccoli were stand-outs but mostly due to the gravy/sauce keeping the meat moist. Few food trays were identified and some were misidentified. During the pandemic gloves were provided to be used at the serving trays. However, instructions and gloves were placed in an easily overlooked spot and diners missed them. Staff, by comparison, didn't use gloves (though wore masks) when replacing drinks.

    I thought I was going to die once. Turns out, it was just food poisoning. Shortly after I was lured into a Chinese buffet for lunch by my office mates, we all ended up as sick as dogs. I felt deathly ill for several days and it was several weeks before I felt fully recovered. We found out later that the health department closed the place down in the afternoon after we visited. To this day, I do whatever I can to avoid Chinese buffets. However, Hubby suggested this one and I'm a team player so I tried to make the best of it. I found several items that weren't fried on the buffet, including sushi and shrimp. Scary choice for me. Hmmm, raw fish from a Chinese buffet or fried food from same? Well, I ate sushi and shrimp from this buffet and survived to tell about. The Sunday buffet was $10 but don't quote me on that. Hubby saw pictures of crab legs online but there were no crab legs on the buffet during our visit. I found sauteed green beans which were decent and the butter potatoes were positively okay as well. I'm guessing that 90% of the buffet was fried. The sushi wasn't bad. Nothing was labeled but it looked like they were mostly Uramaki rolls. Decent variety of desserts but nothing really jumped out at me. There is also a small floor freezer filled with ice cream cups and ice cream sandwiches. It's probably a great deal if you have a hefty appetite for fried food.

    Orange sherbet to go costs extra for a kid that didn't eat since they never had any orange chicken on the buffet

    Food scarcity at the buffet. My son wanted orange chicken and it never came out to the buffet. So, figured we could take an ice cream cup to go. Well, they told us it cost extra. Been here once before and it was great but this time they just seemed annoyed when we would ask for orange chicken.

The Casino has an actual no-smoking area upstairs. The main bar downstairs we have checked out and hung out in to sip a few cocktails and the BF played the slot game at the bar. Parking is plentiful and there are cameras everywhere. I hate the entry way inside to go to the elevators, both just give you that dirty disgusting vibe. Once you reach the inside of the casino and hit the brick floor the vibes are a little better. The casino offers plenty of options for eats from a steakhouse to a cafe and bakery, a grille and the above mentioned spots and more. The game room is OK. We played Halo the entire time since it's our favorite game. The drinks in the bar are cool depending on the bartender you chose. Asia serves some good eats, they are pretty expensive but the chefs are legit. I have hit-n-miss experiences with the bakery/cafe when trying their selections, so venture at your own risk. I really only come here when the BF suggest and it's just a pit stop for us to either begin our night or end our night.

Customer service was on point, and the food options were solid and convenient for a late night snack. The only downside was the bedding. It could definitely use an upgrade. Overall though, the room was dope and comfortable, and I'd stay again.

I have had their Gerald towels, chicken and orange chicken a number of times and it was always fairly good this time however, when the waitress brought the jaw tall ticket to me, I said it could use a little bit more sauce. Could you bring me out a little more because it was a bit skimpy compared to what I've had in the past, she came back a few minutes later and said I will have to charge you four dollars if you want more and I said forget about it and I went on to tell the manager before I left that the four of us will never be back there again in my if something restaurants always I repeat always go out of their way to make small corrections to make sure that there is consistency and that the food is as it should be, it would've probably cost them $.50 to bring me out a third of a cup more but for that they've lost and many of dollars going bad judgment on their part also to finalize this time the iceberg was mushy.
