They do only to go and the entrance has been converted enclosed counter like money exchange box. I noticed a strange smell but it can be cleaned. I ordered pint lobster sauce with shrimp. It is little salty than my average experience but ok. Green peas and carrot are the only veggies I think. No onions or bamboo. read more

China House Restaurant - Coconut Shrimp and white rice. Very good choice. - Chinese Near Me - Grayson, Kentucky

Very friendly staff they have managed to keep their prices down and food quality up I always enjoy getting different things from them and you can feed a family without breaking the bank. read more

Grayson doesn't have any other options for Chinese food, so if you're craving Chinese and need it in a pinch, you only have this one option. That being said, the food is always hot and the order is always correct upon receiving it. The lady working is friendly and clearly works very hard. The food in general is ok, the noodles lack flavor, the rice is so bland, the chicken is pretty good usually. If they reopened the buffet it would probably help business, or put in a drive thru at least. read more

Solid choice for quick Chinese food. Good wok hai. I have eaten here plenty of times as I drive through on my route. This is a solid Chinese restaurant that caters to the American palate. read more

Literally the worst food I have ever had in my life!! Even their crab Rangoon's are horrible. And I usually love crab Rangoon no matter what, it's like they soaked them in grease and didn't cook them long enough they were so disgusting along with everything else we ordered... it was nothing but grease... we ended up throwing it all out!! Please do not waste your time!! read more

Chicken was not fully cooked, it was still pink on the inside. Seating area is run down - rips and holes in seats. The food can be good at times but it just depends on what time of day you eat here. Seems like late evening the food is somewhat fresher. I ate here around 11:30 am and most of the food was reheated from the night before. So eat here after 4pm. They have very friendly service just lack in a few areas. read more

I do not mean to offend the population of Grayson Ky, but this is definitely NOT a Chinese Buffet! The food is very under seasoned, noodles are over cooked, there is no variety of vegetables, the spring rolls / egg rolls are void of filling and the seafood/ fish is non existent. You would be better off purchasing an Asian cookbook and preparing dishes at home. You would then certainly get your money's worth. read more

This is the most disgusting place I've ever seen. It's absolutely nasty inside, the food is disgusting and old. DONT GO HERE.

I'd warn anyone away from this place. The food is cold, stale, rubbery... there aren't enough bad adjectives to describe it. 2 of our 4 kids vomited before we even left the parking lot. I'm not sure how you make fruit like watermelon and oranges taste nasty but it was mission accomplished here. Gross! read more

Consistently good food. It's no Michelin star dining destination but it is a solid alternative option for a town overrun with burger and pizza joints. The staff are always friendly and helpful. read more

Nothing too note worthy. Your standard 'chinese buffet' fare. I hate buffets because you are just eating what someone else didn't want. They do provide comical relief watching morbidly obese people incessantly hobbling to and fro. I eat there often. I even gave them a CD of Appalachian music played with Chinese instruments because I like to hear a quasi representation of the ethnicity of my dining experience through their 'muzak' setup. Not some lame local radio. I thought the cd would be ideal. Perhaps something was lost in translation. I've noticed the workers English is often so poor that if you order anything but 'buFAY?' or 'PETsi' it throws a 'monkey wrench' into their machine. Who am I to say? I bet they do more business than any restaurant in Grayson due to their location and 'all-u-can-eat' appeal. read more

They have a lot of options, sushi is on the buffet (which I love) the staff is nice, the buffet is a little outdated but they keep it stocked with a variety of food. It's not bad for the price and the fact it's a buffet. read more

This place isn't absolutely disgusting, but it's not delicious either. First of all, it's overpriced and the staff is not very friendly either. The only thing that is good here is the noodles. I suggest going across the road to Taco Bell, McDonalds, Wendy's, or Dairy Queen. This is not worth it. Lets also not forget about the MOST IMPORTANT THING... this place is not spotless either. Very few restaurants are anymore but the floors could at least be cleaned once in a while. read more

Horrible, dirty I should have read the reviews A crowded parking lot made me think it was good-must be a park and ride, lol If you like old fried dough, come on Otherwise eat elsewhere Bland, poor quality read more

Nothing outstanding, basic buffet food. Salad bar is minimal, desserts are prepackaged, we have been several times as it is next to the college but on a Friday or Saturday night there is only 3-4 people besides yourself eating here. read more

Next to Chinese food I are in Arkansas, this is the worst I've eaten. Half of the bar was cold and selection limited and low quality. I'm hoping I only have to taste this once going down. Oh, the coke was ok. All this for $12 a person. read more

I was in route to Missouri after leaving depressing West Virginia and decided to grab some Chinese since they had truck parking . Well I did not order Buffett I made an to go order shrimp fried rice , shrimp lo mein and wings . The rice was the Bomb the wings were beautiful and the lo mein was to die for I'll be stopping at this spot every time I'm in this neck of the woods read more

OK, I'm just grateful there's a Chinese restaurant in Grayson. 4,000 people in Grayson, so there's no "Chinatown". That said, I eat here 3-4 times a month. China House's food is better than any place else I've found in town. Their main seafood dish is made with some kind of imitation crab, but it's well seasoned and I always choose it. There's broccoli beef that's reasonably well prepared, but I wish it were a little spicier. No fried won ton, no broiled fish, no mussels. They do always have pizza, mashed potatoes and fried chicken (someone in every group doesn't like Chinese food I recon). The buffet is less than $8 during the week, so I think it's a good value. read more

Pretty lousy food. Hard to find anything worth complimenting. Fast food is more healthy then this.

Greasy underseasoned garbage that will make you sick. The desserts are all cheap preapacked crap. Steer clear of the place.

PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! Their food is contaminated and they will kick you out of the restaurant if you try to complain! I have photo evidence of bugs and some kind of worms in the food on several occasions. Dozens of people have come down with FOOD POISONING after eating here, including my husband. Drive 15 minutes to the big chinese place in ashland across from the mall. Please do not eat here! read more

Old, horrible food on the buffet. Old seats with holes. RUDE staff! And $25 for two people. Couldn't wait to get out of this rat hole. Please save your money and go to the McDonalds next door. read more

This is your basic all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. It has the favorites: kung pow chicken, fried won ton, steamed rice, sushi, chow mien, egg drop soup, broiled fish, etc. There is also beef, potatoes and pizza for those who prefer basic American fare. The food is generally enjoyable, although somewhat variable. Often the food is well prepared, but nothing special. On the other hand, I've eaten there several times in succession when the variety was much greater (more seafood entrees, for instance) and when the quality could compete with buffets in major metro areas. The restaurant is on a commercial strip just off I-64, and almost all the other choices are bland burger and taco outlets. Without question, you get much better value for your money here than just about any place else in Grayson. BTW, Carter County, like most others in Kentucky is "dry". read more

I love this restaurant... Me and my family go all the time. The food was great and the people were nice. It is a buffet so you eat all that you want for around 8 dollars during the week so it's an okay deal. read more

Typical Chinese buffet. Came in at 7:30pm for the supper. Parked my truck at the lives across the street and ventured over. The Gen Tso's chicken was good, mostly though things looked and tasted kind of old. They put a cover over the crab Rangoon so it was luke warm and soggy, I asked them to make a little more & after 15 minutes they brought out something that resembled what I asked for but tasted more like lunch leftover-deep fried, chilled and then microwaved to shut the fat guy up about the soggy ones displayed on the buffet. They did finally bring out some other fresh food from the back but then they buried under the old crap they'd already tried to pass off as fresh. When you make a dish and leave it on the buffet so long the chicken starts to "brown" then bring out fresh cooked stuff that's bright white, you shouldn't make your patrons dig their way to eat chicken that probably won't make them sick. With the exception of it being convenient this place is worth the skip! I've never regretted NOT getting Taco Bell before now. But the drink came with the meal & the WHOLE place is self serve so you're not confused about what to tip someone who only fills your drink and takes your dirty plates. Honestly though, if I'm ever back through here, I may give em a second chance but I only if I'm really craving American Chinese food. read more

I've eaten at many Chinese buffets in the surround areas and this one is by far the worst. It's quite sad really, because growing up as a kid I use to eat there often and I can remember the food quality was much better then. The restaurant has really went down hill over the years. Your choices of food are very slim and are often dated. The desserts are prepackaged. Sadly this is the only Chinese buffet in town, but rest assured if there was another one, then this one would be quickly out of business. The owners are friendly, but the rest of the staff are very quiet and don't interact with customers much. read more

My wife, daughter and I were in Grayson and decided to stop for dinner and thought that a Chinese buffet would fit everyone's appetites. Having noticed the sign for this establishment, we pulled in and so began our culinary adventure. We were greeted with an unconvincing "welcome" before being asked to pay for our meal before sitting or looking at the dishes being offered. I paid at the counter and included a tip since I imagined we would be seated and offered a drink. No such luck. We found a table by the window with ease since we were among only a handful of other patrons, and then ventured toward the "buffet". A quick scan of the dishes revealed most were a congealed mess of aging varieties of both Chinese and American fare. As we were all very hungry, we filled plates with food that we collectively hoped would be better than initial appearance. Picking were slim, to borrow from the colloquial parlance. Chicken dishes had the texture of boiled rubber dipped in fat, egg rolls-while passable-where not to be adorned by duck sauce since it was not readily available, anything resembling steak could have been raccoon for all we know, and the sushi looked to crafted from garbage scraps and the delicate hands of Sloth form the movie "Goonies". We served ourselves drinks from the fountain (the highlight of the meal for me was a well-carbonated Coke). Other notable menu items included potato chips (yes, potato chips in Chinese buffet), mashed potatoes (seriously), gravy and biscuits. As I finished choking down the last few bites of my hard rice and what was labeled as "Butter Chicken" (a new one to me) i found a 6 inch hair swimming in the tepid gelatinous mess and decided it my last straw and I called it quits. My wife, having observed my disgust yet having far more gastronomic fortitude than myself, ventured back for another plate leaving most of what was on of her first unconsumed. She chose stuffed mushrooms which she reported had the consistency and flavor of 3-day old horse turds and mash potatoes that she believed came straight from powder in a box. My daughter barely touched the "crab meat" and declared the wontons as were stale as her grandfather's jokes. For nearly 40 dollars (including tip for absolutely no service at all!) the three of us left hungry and anticipating an evening developing a rotating schedule to use our two bathrooms at home and wondering if we had enough Pepto for all of us. Seriously, I joined Yelp for the sole purpose of warning others that this is the worst dining experience I have ever had and even went so far as to warn other customers on their way in to "just turn away" while in the parking lot. I'm not sure about kentucky's restaurant health standards, but if this establishment still exists by the time I finish this review there needs to be a serious overhaul. However, as a person who tries to look at the bright side of things I learned two lessons. 1) Never pay for food before seeing it at a buffet. 2) sometimes the only thing you can trust to not make you sick is the vacuum-sealed fortune cookies (although it would have been nice if every fortune had said "you will spend night vacating brains out into porcelain bowl"). read more
