Service 4.5 Ambiance 3.5 nice and roomy. Lots of space. Seemed clean. Food 2.8 many food items on the bar, chicken was dry in the hibachi, but chicken wings were good. There was teriyaki and sesame chicken but no generals or orange chicken. Several vegetable options. Dessert bar mostly instant pudding and such. There is a nice soft serve machine. Having a hibachi bar included is nice but the meats were mediocre. Just getting noodles and broccoli were good, though. At $20/person I'm not sure it's a value for the money. I did walk away full though! read more

China Town Buffet - Summerville, SC is exactly what you expect...a solid, no-frills buffet If you're going in looking for something fancy or mind-blowing, this isn't that--but if you just want a quick, filling meal with variety, it gets the job done. The selection had all the classics: fried rice, lo mein, shrimp, and your typical buffet favorites. The shrimp fried rice was decent and flavorful enough, and the lo mein with shrimp and veggies was fresh and hot when we went There were also a few extras like fried items and sides that round out the plate, making it easy to load up and try a little bit of everything. Portion-wise, you definitely won't leave hungry. Service was pretty standard for a buffet--nothing over the top, but everything moved along smoothly. The space is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick lunch or low-key dinner. Overall, it's not spectacular, but it's reliable. If you're in Summerville and just want a simple buffet-style meal without breaking the bank, this spot works read more

Nope, this ain't it!! I am from Massachusetts where the Chinese food is great. I hate to say it, but this is some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Not sure if there's just a different standard in the South or if the buffet had anything to do with it? All of the food I tried tasted "manufactured" for lack of a better term. Like it was made in a machine instead of a kitchen. One of my favorite items up North are crab rangoons, and here they call them cheese wontons (I nearly fainted haha)! Anyways, they tasted just as flat as they looked and almost like they were uncooked in comparison to the fried & fluffy ones I'm used to. The dumplings and vegetable lo mien noodles were OK but the vegetables were missing. Just like the "pork fried rice" was just rice. Not to mention they also did not have the sauce we are used to (duck sauce!). Oh well, we will continue the hunt for decent Chinese food in the South... read more

I have been here a few times now. First and foremost, it's like every other Chinese buffet you've been to. Mostly same menu, there's chicken, noodles, beef, Porto, rice, shrimp, wontons, you name it, they usually got it. The food is average, nothing that I would drive 30-40 mins out of my way for, but still, not bad. They do have stirfry that you can get which is nice. Service is good, and the set up, is pretty typical. Lunch was about $40 for 2. read more

We always have a wonderful time here and the staff is always so polite. Food is almost always hot. I'm not sure when pricing went up but I think $91 plus tip is ALOT for a weeknight buffet for 4. It was not a special occasion or holiday . I don't think k we'll be going back for dinner. We'll do lunch only. The drinks are ridiculously overpriced. I go to a lot of buffets here and out of town and it was seriously a sticker shock. ( also this one doesn't have like crab legs or steak or anything on the buffet ) read more

One of the better Chinese buffets in greater Charleston! I can't believe they have fried oysters, and they replenish the buffet frequently. If I have to be nit‑picky, though, there was too much batter. I had to peel some off, or else I'd have a cardiac arrest. The service was excellent; the staff were so attentive and even remembered our friend, a regular from years ago. The vibe of the restaurant was spot‑on. The diners kept to themselves, and the noise level was perfect. I'll definitely be back to try their Mongolian BBQ! read more

The best Chinese buffet around town. I really enjoy the food here. The mongolian bbq section is great as well. I always eat well here. My husband loves the place as well. Its also very affordable. read more

China Town Review | Summerville, Sc 1206 N Main St Summerville, Sc 29483 China Town Chinese Buffet - Summerville, SC 3.5 out of 5 stars Walking into China Town, the first impression was solid. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself was clean with inviting décor. No sticky floors, no mystery smells--points awarded there. Now... let's talk buffet reality. The food selection was noticeably smaller than what you'd expect from a Chinese buffet. Missing staples like General Tso's Chicken and coconut shrimp is borderline buffet blasphemy. I mean... who does that? Those are like the founding fathers of Chinese buffet culture. As for the food that was available--everything was cooked to absolute extinction. Any bacteria that ever thought about existing didn't stand a chance. I grabbed two pieces of fish that were so overcooked I wasn't sure whether to eat them or use them as a door stop. I chose neither. Then there's the pricing. For the selection offered, it felt overpriced, especially when you add the extra 3% credit card fee at the register. Two people, after tip, came in just shy of $50--and that's a tough pill to swallow when you're missing half the buffet hall of fame. Final Verdict Friendly staff and a clean dining room can only carry things so far. With a limited selection, overcooked food, and pricing that doesn't match the experience, this one didn't land for me. Not impressed--and not going back.

The aroma of the food lured me to China Town while I was getting errands done in Summerville. Haven't had Chinese buffet in a while, so was excited go try this restaurant for the 1st time. It lunchtime on a week of a holiday. They were semi busy, but not too bad. Was seated immediately, along with my drink order. The buffet had a plethora of choices typically on a Chinese buffet. They kept replenishing items on the buffet at a decent pace. Everything was clean and decorated well. I would v9sit again if I'm craving Chinese and on that side of town. read more

Food and service was great. Hibachi and regular buffet bar awesome. One of my go to places almost weekly.

Great atmosphere and clean place..food was good and kept restocked. Just not a place I would revisit.

Exhaustion from a lengthy drive led us to this massive Chinese buffet, where despite a selection of 100 or so food-like items, few were edible. Everything was drenched in industrial-style grease and overcooked to a degree, as to remove all nutrients and flavor. I had never tried Egg Foo Young before, a dish that has disappeared for good reason. The fried bananas were okay. read more

The food was good. The server was back and forth making sure everything was good very well on checking my table I had sweet tea and she changed it out got me Dr. Pepper no problem. It's a very busy crowd during 12 noon lots ms families and noise. the buffet kept fresh food but it's kinda pricey I paid $52 for me And two kids. read more

My favorite Chinese buffet. I visit regularly from Florida and try to dine here every time. Service is friendly and excellent. Food, large selection, fresh and delicious. Even have the Mongolian Barbecue where certain items can be made to order. Going for lunch today! Soft serve ice cream also available with the desert choices. I can't fathom how a reviewer can say nothing is edible. read more

Went here as a repeat customer during Christmas time, and I commend: -When there during prime hours, good customer traffic = fresh food brought out frequently. -Fried items are standouts, with thinner batter and low grease. Esp chicken/wings and seafood items like shrimp. -Manager and hostess are very kind to customers, and I saw several friendly conversations with new and returning customers alike. With respect to buffets that bring good value, it's a place I happily go back to read more

If you enjoy a good buffet especially Chinese and American, you will want to try China Town.

Can't beat the fressness read more

Rarely come to Summerville area but had a car getting serviced in the area but first time eating here. Food was good and service was great! The place overall was clean and pretty but a bit pricey for two ($44) so keep in mind! Will come back again when I'm in the area! :) read more

Don't waste your money. We tried to like this place; we gave them several tries. The Mongolian BBQ was tasteless, little sauce, the vegetables were barely cooked. The broccoli was still room temperature. The only thing worse than the plate of food was the attitude of the chef preparing it. We are done with them and will find a restaurant who wants our business. read more

I'm confused as to why the reviews are so good here.. it's honestly some of the worst Chinese buffet I've ever had. The food is bland, half of it is cold, and the "sushi" is downright inedible. The service is good which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of one, but please don't let the lack of Chinese buffets in the area sway you into coming! read more

Service is 5 stars ALWAYS to start with. Food is always kept stocked on the buffet and is really good. My wife and I love to take the kids here. It is casual laid back and good food for the money and clean. Win win read more

I haven't been here in years! We decided to have lunch here today. Inside is spacious and nicely decorated. There's a nice fish tank by the door--it's not disgusting and dirty like I've seen at other places. It was pretty busy but we were seated immediately. They offer the typical buffet options, rice, noodles, chicken, egg rolls, etc. The buffet was clean. One of the employees was walking around wiping off excess food and stirring the food. Across from the buffet is a Magnolia grill. I didn't get anything from it but I do think it's neat. The food was good--warm, not hot. But that's to be expected with buffets. They have one employee designated to refilling drinks--what a great idea!! She walked down the aisles every few minutes or so, asking if anyone needed refills. The bill was about $20 for two people, which isn't bad. read more

I am not usually a fan of a Buffet style restaurant. Mainly because the food tends to be over cooked. But I was pleasantly surprised here, everything I tried was fresh , warm and tasty. Not overcooked, well seasoned but not spicy, except if it said in the description spicy. Very pleased. read more

Very Nice. Hands down the best Chinese buffet I've been to. Staff is nice. Very budget, Great place to go on a saturday/sunday.

Had a great experience here tonight. Nice family style buffet with friendly staff. Loved the Hibachi station! That man can cook some mean Mongolian beef! read more

Okay stick with me here! I know this is a buffet but what if i told you their take-out menu is 10000x better?! If you are not a fan of buffets and want to get traditional Chinese cuisine, this is your spot! I can not seem to fine a spot in Charleston that has this same quality but I'm still on the prowl! When up for the drive, i typically get shrimp fried rice with extra onions & egg w/ egg foo yung(spelling maybe off). Their chicken wings aren't the red crispy wings you maybe use to but they are just as good! I tell them to "fry hard" for that crispy goodness. But i can taste the quality in their meats that it's prepared on call and my food has never been cold when I pick up. I normally call on my way there so I'm not waiting. Weekends tends to get real busy here with families coming for the buffet. Definitely worth the 25 minute drive. read more

Pleasantly dined. Wings and spring rolls were delicious and crispy. Foods were brought out in timely manner although I went around 4 pm which was early dinner time with kess crowd. Good selections of seafood although I was already full with chicken wings and couldnt try them. Service was quick and kind. For the starving folks, it's pretty good dining for about $17/dinner. read more

I'm here now with my family and friends the food it's to bad I feel shame because I suggested this buffet for my family the food is cold the egg soup is weird the sushi is sooooo bad I told the manager now it's so bad and she every complain she has a smart reply like a snake and in the end she told me should be leave before your start eat!! I'm with my family and friends I feel shameful to tell them leave.. it should be say sorry with good attitude or make a discount but she was bad and I don't recommend to go to this buffet again.. read more

Not bad. Average buffet. It was pretty crowded but not to the point where we were all on top of each other. Pretty decent variety. One less star for the staff. Kinda on the rude side but the waitress was nice even though you could tell she was overwhelmed. I did like how fast everything flowed. As people came in more left. Would I return?...Meh maybe. The kids liked it so that's all that matters. read more
