That was not good food. The hibachi was runny and over sugared. Not much options there. Nothing tasted good. Sugar cannot be the only flavor. It was not good. Rice was dried out and crunchy. Yuck. Not going back. read more

We used to come here a few years back, and we saw a decline in quality, so we stopped coming. This is a retry, and we were impressed in a good way. It had the trappings of Chinese culture right down to the tee. As we looked at the large tables, there was plenty of steam letting you know this was hot food. The food... many traditional dishes to choose from, and of course, American fare, 5 cauldrons of soups, a salad table, many desserts, and there it was, off in the corner-an ice cream machine which had some of the best chocolate ice cream you could ever want. Also, a Hibachi is off to the side. I got my usual snow peas and chicken, your choice of hots, fresh garlic, teriyaki, etc. Everything was good, the servers we great. There is plenty of free parking. No discounts for anyone... seniors, military, police. read more

A classic Chinese Buffet, nothing particular stands out. Its in a strip mall that looks like it has seen better days but the inside of the restaurant was clean but dated from the 90s. We were greeted by friendly staff and shown to a booth. Our server took our drink orders and we proceeded to the buffet. They have a decent selection of Chinese food from Dim Sum, shrimp, pork and chicken dishes, egg rolls, along with a few basic sushi rolls, salads, and desserts. I did see a hibachi station but no one was manning it, prob because it was a Sunday. The buffet was constantly replenished with fresh food so they did a great job keeping up with the crowd. Plates were removed promptly and we had our drinks refreshed when we asked. Wasn't a huge crowd but a constant flow of people coming in and out for dine in and take out. They do charge extra for wasted food so just take a sample and only what you can eat. If I was in the area again I'd stop by for a good meal but won't go out of my way for it, read more

I've been here before and the food was much better, maybe they're having an off day but I'm certainly not pleased with my meal. The rice taste like it has been washed in dirty water, the chicken is very spongy, just not a good experience today. Good atmosphere, quick service, good selection though so they get 4 stars. read more

the staff here are so rude and unprofessional, An item burned my daughters hand and the staff yelled at her and blamed her for their mistake, and while she had been burned she had been carrying a plate and had jumped from the surprise of the burn and they chased us out and expected us to pay for food off the floor. during this visit I had walked into the separate dining room and was met face to face with a COCKROACH staring at me sitting on a table EWWWWWW! read more

Food is good. I always get the hibachi that way I have hot food. Most waitresses are friendly and speak some English.

As with many "Chinese" buffets, the Chinese food is so-so. If you are looking for top Chinese, better to find a regular restaurant, not a buffet. That said, the food here isn't bad. I've been here several times when passing through the area. The Hibachi is pretty good, and I love the ginger sauce, (which I have never seen at any other hibachi except Chens Mongolian in State College). Interestingly the shrimp in the hibachi and the buffet food is different than the steamed shrimp. The steamed shrimp is honest to goodness red shrimp not the bland shrimp from Asia. The sushi is just OK, not much variety. Never saw a problem with cleanliness. read more

The buffet food is good, but I mostly go for the Subway-Style "pick your fixin's" and they cook it for you, while you stand there, Hibachi. read more

China House Buffet - Hibachi Hours. - Chinese Near Me - Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania

I hadn't planned on leaving a review and didn't think it was 5 stars at first. With a tip my lunch was 9.43 here. I had chicken, broccoli beef, egg rolls, fruit, they had so many options. The salmon was outstanding. I went to a competitor today across town and it was $15+ before the tip for a meal, egg roll and water. Wow. Made me appreciate what a wonderful value and how good the food was here. I think 5 stars doesn't wan fine dining it means compared to those in your industry. Great price. Great food. Fast service - they brought my bill and i paid from table within a minute of my request. read more

This place is hit and miss. When their food is good, it's really good. When their food is bad, it's really bad. It does get very busy and they have a lot to choose from. They serve mostly American Chinese food and American food as well as sushi. They have desserts as well as a good assortment of fruit. They have a sort of hibachi grill where they will cook your food on it for you but you don't sit at it. It is clean except the restrooms. The restrooms need a better touch up. The only other problem is if you are new to the area and don't know the back road, it can be difficult to get out onto the strip due to heavy traffic. Update: I just changed my review. I was just there and they never seem to have anything new on the buffet table. read more

It is the standard Chinese buffet. Food was good every time we have gone. Atmosphere & Ambiance is decent. Service is average to good. Like many "older" buffets it could use a update throughout the interior. Price for what you get is good. When we decide to go we never think twice about it. read more

Service: (zero star) Absolutely horrid. Than they talk shit about you in Chinese right in front of your face. Don't clean up plates or refill drinks, drops check off early. Food: (2 star) only reason this isn't zero is because the sweet and sour pork a dummy could make. General tso is worst I ever had. Rice and sweet and sour pork and you may like food Hibachi: Dude thinks you should literally tip every plate, complete joke I'd rather go to a Chinese place in a run down gas station in the middle of nowhere than eat here. This review isn't from one visit, I've given this place multiple chances read more

A nice buffet aesthetic wise. The food was good but some of the chicken dishes were over cooked and "chewy". The hibachi was nice but some of the meat( shrimp, beef) looked old. The little sushi they offered was ok. There is a lot of choices and the service was good. This is an area where folks drive far for anything so with that said, it is nice to have a Chinese buffet to try. read more

Nice atmosphere and very clean. Went for lunch. Food was great. So much to choose from. Wait staff was friendly. Definitely will return.

Before I visited this buffet today, I thought the best Chinese buffet around Williamsport was the King House buffet on golden strip williamsport. But after I ate at this place that is about 40 miles away Williamsport, I changed my mind. China house beats King house. I passed this buffet on Rt 11/15 at least 10 times before, but never tried to eat there. Cause the entrance of this buffet gave me the impression of this place was a small rat hole buffet like some other Chinese buffets we ate in different small town before. But I was wrong. We were so hungry when we were here, and needed a big all you can eat meal. So we thought we were going to give it a try. After I walked into that not a too big entrance, I was amazed how big and nice this place was. It is at least twice bigger than King house, and the whole restaurant looks cleaner and newer too. The servers there are very nice, very good service, fast. They saw my baby girl who is 2 year old was little, they didn't charge her at all without asking her age. They have a very big food area with seven big food stations, including a very fresh salad, fruit and sushi bar, a hot Chinese entree bar, a fried food and Dim Sum, a American food bar, a soup bar and seafood(We had lunch there so seafood bar for dinner was empty), a dessert and ice cream bar and a Mongolia BBQ bar. Many of the food I ate there tasted pretty good, like their chicken on the stick, just tasted like those ones in the made to order Chinese restaurant, juicy and tender. Hot and sour soup was good, American food were good, etc. Most of their food tasted better than the one we have here. Some of there were OK. Guess you have to figure out yourself, cause every body has different taste bud. For all those you can eat food, you just pay $6.49 per person for lunch, and $2.49 for 4 year old. I am glad I checked this place out, and in the future, I could stop there when every time we drive through that area. The buffet in Williamsport has to improve, cause there is a new Chinese buffet opening soon in Montoursville just couple miles away. Can't wait! read more

China House Buffet - Some food in my plate. - Chinese Near Me - Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania

They have a small selection that is overcooked mush and tastes bad. I'm also convinced that the shrimp cakes are just McDonald's chicken nuggets and the clam chowder tastes like bath water after a 12 hour shift. Ice cream is 10/10 though. read more

First time I ever gave lower then a 4 star. I love Chinese food. This buffet looked great. It's impressive when you walk in and it has a good selection ,quantity.. This is the first time I ever questioned the freshness of the food and the first time I was alittle concerned about eating the sushi and mussels. The sushi rolls tasted like they used canned tuna instead of real fish. The roe on the rolls was so fishy I had to spit it out on my plate. The rest of the food was mediocre at best. Price wasnt bad, but for someone like me who eats around, this isn't the place for you. Quick fix, I guess it's OK but for a good meal, nope. read more

Terrible food. Habachi man yells at you if you dont tip him every time you go up. Other food is mediocre at best.

Wow. Like wow. Gift from God, gift from Christ! Holy yelp have i.gpt.the urge to sing and dance and sing and dance.and sing to Jesus because China Horse. Holy shit. Just when I thought Missy pissy mustache at subs n shit ruined my day, the clouds broke, the sun shone and I saw the face of God. Go to China Hose and feast low maine, eat shrimps, have cookie, devour sue-shee, eat many and have lots good food from China and maybe jipin. Great service, many fun, so much laugh and grrat. Peace, love, pray, Gina K. Moshi moshi Mr robot. Love Gina K. read more

Although my name is Karen, this is my favorite Chinese buffet because they have a wide variety of food that is very tasty. Their hibachi cook didn't cook my chicken, so I told the manager, and they fired him on the spot. Great staff, I suggest going here! read more

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! This place went downhill like dropping a rock from the Empire State Building... It use to be real good but is a total disappointment now... Went there for the Friday evening dinner buffet... No crab legs, no crawfish... They had a table set up that had a sign saying dinner guests only. It held only about six items. Which there were only two types of shrimp. It was a total waste of time and money and after being a customer for more than 30 years I will never go there again read more

They harass you for a tip. I didn't even have a chance to leave a tip and they were telling me I need to leave a tip of 15 to 20%. That's bad behavior to ask for a tip. I don't reward bad behavior so left nothing. Besides the food wasn't good and it was cold. I will never eat there again read more

Decided to try China House for dinner while in the area for business. I was somewhat presently surprised by the variety and quality of the buffet. Good, typical Chinese that was overall solid, mild in flavor (you could spice it or flavor it to your liking). Nothing super special or outstanding, just good solid Chinese buffet were hot foods were hot and cold foods were cold. They also have a Hibachi style grill where you pick out the raw food and a chef will cook it on a flat top grill. The restaurant is in a small strip mall and based on the exterior, with the red lights and windows, you think it will be small. It is actually a rather large dining area with the buffet located in the middle. It's a little dark inside and somewhat strangely decorated with Christmas ornaments hanging from the ceiling. The wait staff was friendly, perhaps rushing you a little bit, especially during dinner to turn the table. For the area, this appears to capture the locals as well as tour groups passing through the area. I'm not sure that I will pit this on my return list for dinner, but would potentially be a good lunch spot. There is a somewhat limited selection for dining in the area and if you're looking for Chinese, this would be a good starting point. read more

Super hit or miss. Sometimes the food is super good and always stocked and hot, and other times it's super low, not many options, and not hot. My biggest thing is how unsanitary it is. There's lots of dust and dirt on floors, counters, and booth dividers. I've had much better food from other places that are actually clean. I go here more for convenience. read more

Great Buffet! Absolutely amazing green beans! Everything is clean and the service is really good! They have a Hibachi Grill, very nice water fountain and a banquet room for party's! read more

China House Buffet - The Front Entrance - Chinese Near Me - Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania

The food was really good. Very clean, and the staff is extremely friendly and entertaining.

After coming to the China House Buffet once, the man cooking the food has refused to cook me any food due to me only tipping 2 dollars. I thought I would give it a second chance but the next time I came I was with my long haired friend and the man cooking once again was very rude towards us. As we were walking away he kept repeating "nothing,nothing" and looking at the tip jar (i had already tipped 2$). Due to the actions of the hibachi cook I will not be back at this place. read more

My daughter and I dined there yesterday and the first annoying thing that happened was when the host directed us to a four seat table when we were only two people. We declined her offer and requested the two seated table. The food was delicious but some of the items were lukewarm and even cool. The main shock to me was the condition of the inside door handle of the ladies room. It literally was crusted with disgusting crud which was thick and not just smears! I had to open the door with my sleeve...yuck! read more

For an Asian buffet, very satisfied. Have eaten here frequently. Very reasonable price, lunch 8$. Found food hot; salmon and chicken slices tender and juicy. shrimp not overcooked. Good variety choice. Supper (different price) I enjoy the mussels! Service was fine, dishes cleared frequently. Tea is free.here. Please remember to tip according to service. read more

This is one on my favorite places to eat. The staff is always very polite and fast at taking plates and refilling your drinks. The food is always hot and delicious. read more

Been going there for many years but never again. The evening buffet has gone down hill in a big way. The price doesn't match the food. Crab legs have became just that, small meatless legs. No bodies or claws. Wings are more fat then meat. Most of the selections are either over or under cooked. The last straw was when I saw a big list of health violations in the newspaper. Yuck read more

This place was awesome staff was very friendly and quick on discarding our plates and refills....food was hot and delicious!!!

Food is good and theres plenty of variety that caters to many tastes. However, prices are rising Overall its a great buffet that we will continue to frequent. read more
