    My buffet plate with Triple Delight, fried rice and fried shrimp
    Richard Walton C.

    I found this place by reading reviews for a different Chinese restaurant and one of the reviews recommended this place over that one so I gave them a try. Here you pay in advance which I like because when you're done you can just go. If you aren't familiar with the setup, there is a lot more seating through the archway which you can't see from the entrance. A lot of local families with children were coming and going. I asked one dad if the food was good and he said yes. His little daughter said it was her favorite place. Overall I thought their buffet was better than the one in Mooresville. I loved the fried rice and the fried shrimp. One interesting entree was called Triple Delight which consisted of pepper steak, sweet and sour chicken and some other meat in a whole plethora of vegetables. There was a wide variety of entrees to choose from. Their desserts did not disappoint either. The chocolate cake was really rich. The vanilla pound cake was awesome. Cookies, pudding and ice cream, both scoop kind and soft serve, rounded out the choices. Parking was no problem in the big shared lot with IGA and the rest of the stores of the L shaped shopping center. The restroom was clean and fully stocked. A sign says they will be open for Christmas.

    This is our go to Chinese between Evansville and Indy. We stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon at lunch time. The buffet with drink is about $11. They have a nice variety of entrees and appetizers. I'm not a typically a teriyaki chicken fan but theirs is really good. We also really enjoyed the beef and broccoli, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, and ice cream. These were our favorites but everything we had was pretty tasty. The service was also great for a buffet. They girls were very quick to make sure we had plenty of drinks and came by often to pick up our empty plates. They will continue to be our Chinese go to

    We went after hearing good things about the local Chinese restaurant. When you eat there in the evening you receive a glove and you wear a mask. it's buffet time! you wear the glove and discover the food you want. return to your table and eat. the food has some taste but not a five

On multiple occasions, I have watched the chefs carefully prepare meals while diligently sanitizing their workspaces after each dish, ensuring a high standard of hygiene is consistently upheld. The menu offers an extensive and diverse selection, which I greatly appreciate. While I have several favorite dishes, I am continually encouraged to explore new options thanks to the wide variety available. The restaurant caters to a broad range of tastes, featuring not only American-style Chinese cuisine but also a rich selection of authentic Chinese, Korean, and Japanese dishes, along with a few American offerings. The staff is courteous and attentive, providing excellent service with every visit. The food is always served hot, flavorful, and in generous portions. There is often so much so that it is difficult to finish a meal in a single sitting. I confidently recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a high-quality experience, and it has even earned the approval of our native Chinese friends, which speaks volumes about its authenticity and overall excellence.

I was had someone come to my table to take my order and bring my food but no one came by again after I got the food, so I went to the register to pay. Maybe a bit of a language barrier with the staff. I asked for jelly in my drink and got tapioca boba instead and generally felt like they didn't really understand what I was saying. I got a tofu rice bowl with miso sauce and a green milk tea with boba. The rice bowl was the perfect size for one meal, and there was a lot of tofu which made it filling. It was simple, with just the protein and sauce over steamed greens and rice, and I felt like it was pretty healthy. It didn't blow me away but it was good! The green milk tea was also good, strong but not too sweet. Some versions of the menu call it matcha but it very much tasted like green tea, not matcha. I think it was from a powder mix but that's fine. Reasonable prices. If I remember correctly, the rice bowl was about $13 and the boba was about $6 including the topping. I liked the food and would definitely eat here again.

    This is one of my favorite places to eat in Bloomington and even better, has the seal of approval…read morefrom my Chinese mom! Judy's Kitchen is a Taiwanese style kitchen meaning they serve roasted meats like pork (Char Siu) and duck. They also have some Taiwanese staples like their popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup. They also have bubble tea made from real ingredients like taro or red bean as often times, boba places use powder to make the tea base. Before we moved from Bloomington entirely, my fiancé and I wanted to eat here one last time. He got his favorite, the hot pepper chicken, and I got the beer noodle soup for the first time. Both dishes didn't fail us. The hot pepper chicken is stir fried in a lot of chiles but actually isn't as hot as you think. It has a slow build and is tolerable for something with an average spice tolerance like me! The beef noodle soup was heavenly. It's similar to pho but is sweeter and more gingery. You need to try it to understand! I'll miss Judy's so much and hope it's still around when I visit Bloomington.
