the buffet area of a chinese restaurant

After some of the reviews, I entered with trepidation, but found that I really had a great meal. We ate at 12:30, in the height of the lunch crowd. There are 5 buffet islands, Hot Chinese, hot Chinese and American, Salads, Deserts. We were promptly seated, asked for and got a nice pot of hot tea. The fried dumplings with dipping sauce were my favorite; great flavor, but could have been warmer. The green beans were perfectly seasoned and crisp-tender. They had a few varieties of the obligatory meat bites battered and fried in a sweet sauce, all good. My husband fell in love with their hot and sour soup.

I love their vegetable and shrimp lo mein, Szechuan chicken, beef with broccoli, and their crab Rangoons!!! We have been searching for a good Chinese restaurant and this by far has been my favorite. The workers are very nice, the place is clean - what more could you ask for!

Tongs in the food!!!

Giving this place a 1 star was beyond what I wanted to give this place, but unfortunately you can't rate 0 stars. Here's my experience. We went to China Inn here in Lacrosse/ Onalaska, WI, tonight seemed like a night for Chinese food. I hadn't had Chinese food for over a month or two. The atmosphere entering the restaurant pretty much met you at the door. There was an awful stench as if there was a rotten fish in the entry way to the restaurant. A waitress met us at the door and almost seemed kinda forceful of where she wanted to place us to eat. When we walked up to the buffet bar I immediately spotted several food containers that were either completely depleted or on the verge of depletion. I got some food and took it back to my table. I instantly noticed that the food was cold, stale, and all-round disgusting!!! No one in there seemed to care for this restaurant and you could tell in the food. I was appalled by lack of care. Also, it was only 7:00pm, and they don't close until 9, so why in the world don't you have fresh food and well-stocked fresh food for that matter out and available for guests who visit and want good Chinese???!!!! The man, who seemed like a manager...didn't even ask how the food was...probably because he already knew!!! Even after the awful service, we said, "have a good night". His response was..."uh huh". So, let me add that the customer service is top notch...as you can see. It's not a good way to represent your town for a decent Chinese take out dine-in experience. While we were eating did I ever see anyone replace food or stock it up with more fresh food. It was disgusting. Do not eat at China Inn!!!!!

We went for the lunch buffet. The food was cold and did not taste good. I have never had worse Chinese food.

I usually don't like Chinese buffet because the food is often just lumps of meat in salty brown sauce and everything else is fried.
