Not too bad, very good price. Sushi looked like it was sitting for a bit, I did try it and it was fine. My pregnant sister loves everything, one of her faves she says. As for me, I like my sushi and chinese food fresher. So if you have a big family/party, this place will work for you and be easier on your wallet. read more

Many of the reviews for China Wall are flat-out misguided. Wake up people! This isn't a gormet Chinese cuisine resturaunt. Is the food of decent quality? Yes. Is it comparable to your average Chinese takeout down the road? Yes. Was it worth the eight bucks I just spent on an all you can eat Chinese buffet lunch? Hell yes! This place isn't dirty, it isn't gross, so I don't see what the big deal is. You're getting Chinese take out quality food with a vast quantity of choices. You have fresh fruit, "American" food (onion rings, french fries, pizza, chicken nuggets), a nice selection of Chinese food, and fresh sushi (at least they have a "sushi chef" making it, albeit I don't eat sushi). Service was decent, waiters/waitresses coming by to make sure my cup is filled, dishes are taken, very kind as well. Lots of parking even though it's situated in the middle of a strip mall. Nothing to genuinely complain about. Everything I got from the buffet seemed fresh (enough), nothing hard, stale or old. It is what it is folks, and for that, 4 stars. read more

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. I just left less than 5 minutes ago & my experience was horrific. The shrimp was DIRTY!!!!! Then the server had the audacity to tell me and my friends that they weren't dirty???? They indeed were. (Should have taken pics for yelp) after that the other lady checking us out was rude. I've never left no tip before & I did for the first time! Never will I go back. This place should be shut down & the staff should be fired. read more

MSG-itis...or whatever you wanan call it. I know how they prepare their food!! They open bags and bags of MSG and pour it all over everything. For their soups....they use a mixture of MSG and cornstarch. Geez..i'm sooo S-M-R-T. I had a bad vibe as soon as i walked past this place, but moms was craving chinese food for some reason (yes..i know this ain't chinese food but it's what she wanted). After we ate...EXACTLY 10 MINUTES LATER...the msg symptoms started to hit. drowsiness, headaches, grogginess...etc. BARFARONI! it was bad. read more

This place is great if you know what to expect. I've been here a few times and I think I know the tricks, now. The bad first, than the good... and trust me, there is good! 1.) It's a buffet, so you're probably not expecting much out of the wait staff, but it's still a little unpleasant. Even when the place is almost dead, people come by and take your plate while you're still eating it in front of you, or have placed it far away from the side of the table. I appreciate how eager they were, but I actually had to ask two different women to put down my plate... although eating it again after someone has touched it is a bit... strange. However, for all their eagerness to take away a plate full of food (doesn't that cost them money because I need to replace it?), it took them over 30 minutes to refill my husband's drink. Yikes. 2.) The salad section is pretty terrible. The pastas are... I really am an advernturous eater, but I started to put one of the pasta salads in my mouth and immediately took it back out and put it into a napkin. NOPE. Nope nope nope. BUTTTTTT A.) The rest of the food is almost universally delicious. I even liked the chicken nuggets/strips. The pizza is generic buffet pizza, but it does the trick. The actual Chinese food is delicious inauthentic Chinese food goodness. Every dish has a lot of flavor, and none of them taste the same. I like the dim sum - mmm pork buns! The sushi isn't terrible, either. Not my first choice here, but not terrible! Their entrees are the shining stars, though. Yum. B.) The price is really good. And a take out box is even better - when you know what you like, it's a great way to get a huge meal for cheap. C.) The quality never changes. A few different dishes are served each time, but it's all made very well, very quickly. They change out everything very quick! So if you want a super filling, delicious, Chinese food meal, go for it! Just stick to water and keep your hands on your plate at all times ;-) read more

The food was alright not the best, the service was slow. They just stood in the back by the tables until someone waved them down or they saw enough plates that they were in outlet way. The lady at the front was rude to my friend for no reason and over charged him. My friends and I didn't want to make a scene so we paid and left. Best part was the ice cream and the soda. So yea good job with that. read more

My fam and I decided to give this place a try! The food was awful, way too salty and bland! I rather pay much more money and eat a better quality food! Even if this was served to homeless shelter, they would give it a 1 star! Chef Ramsey should come here and give this chef and staff some tips on how to run a successful and tasting food! Never will I cone to this gross place read more

Four years ago I stumbled on this place right when it opened, my house was being remodeled and didn't have a stove so I thought I'd give it a try. At the time I thought it was pretty good, not anymore. 75% of the menu is chicken and it's greasy. What they call "teriyaki chicken", well it ain't! The deserts are tasteless and dry. The clientele has gone way WAY down. You get all these ghetto types who take 2 plates at a time, piled high with food noodles hanging over the plates ready to shovel it all down. I saw this one guy with a stack of shrimp a foot high with his table covered in shrimp shells. Gross. The people are very low rent and that's sad because it didn't start that way, alot of Asian families used to frequent the place in the begining not anymore. read more

So so food. For a $12 dinner buffet, at least serve a beef dish. Food was paltry, selection was very limited. I do have to say the servers are nice and quick to help out. Place is likewise neat and clean, so I give 2 stars. But for the food, I would suggest going somewhere else. I would say this place is a one time wonder, eat here once and don't come back again. read more

It's just not good. Although they have a large selection of food to choose from, from the normal Chinese food (chow mein, sweet & sour chicken) to Japanese sushi to fried chicken the taste is really typically what I expect from a Buffet. Large amount of food to service the large amount of people who come to China wall buffet (aka Great Wall buffet until some copyright infringment or something). This place is all about Quantity and not Quality. Oh and my mom threw her 50th birthday here. she had it in their "party room" but had to share the room with another party. Awkward. Plus they didn't do anything special for the birthday girl, which was lame considering the amount of people we paid to eat there. We haven't been back since and it's been five years. read more

Blechh!.... That pretty much sums it up! Lets be honest, Chinese Buffet's are sketchy in the first place, so most folks don't usually go in expecting Gourmet. That said, this place was not good despite my lowered expectations. I truly reminded us why we don't do the Chinese Buffet more than about once every 6~9 months! Anyway, Jack In The Box egg rolls would be a better choice. read more

My friend and I were here yesterday and she said the food wasn't cooked right the crawdad was brown on inside and tasted like water my friend was afraid to leave crumbs on the plate cause of the food waste policy and they charge by weight if u ask for to go box also the waiter was watching my friend pack her to go box in a creepy manner not coming back read more

This buffet has a wide variety of greasy food. They seat you right away and they rush you out at about the same pace. If you like buffets, you'll probably like this place. It's kind of like HomeTown Buffet only greasier. Definitely not recommended as an every day place, but every now and then, it's ok. The prices are kind of high though, I'd rather go to Sweet Tomatoes for much better food. read more

Very inexpensive!!! For what you pay its totally worth it. Very diverse cliental here as well. The staff is very attentive and the food line seems to be constantly refilled. read more

The reviews are brutal! Good thing we ate here BEFORE I read the reviews. It was $12.91 for the dinner buffet. Kids under 2 eat free. We didn't see any roaches and the place was clean. There is more turnover on food during the busy time around 6:30p. They had beef broccoli, dim sum, 4 different soups, some sushi, and your standard Panda Express fare. The desserts were extensive and there was plenty of soft serve ice cream. The fruit was pretty good except the canned pineapple. They even have a salad bar. For the price, it's not bad. The crab legs were pretty good and there were good chunks of meat. Service was good. Good place to eat when hungry after the waterpark! read more

Just about the only good things worthwhile are the small clams and the white fish (I don't know what kind of fish it was but it has an amazingly oily meat). The oysters were cold and bland (I went on a Tuesday so maybe a weekend would have a higher turnover rate of food). Everything else was below average and just didn't qualify even for a Chinese buffet. A funny side note about China Wall Buffet is the unusually loud hip hop music that was playing in the background was a bit inappropriate for the family setting. Okay so maybe play some Usher - Let It Burn or Jay Sean - Down but Rihanna - Hard and David Guetta - Sexy Chick ft Akon are a bit edgy for a Chinese buffet. read more

Chinese buffet places are abundant in the Bay Area, though this is the only one in Concord as far as I know. Chinese buffet food has no mystique nor secrecy. If you read up on the ingredients and how buffet places operate, you know exactly what you're getting. Personally, I enjoyed the food as it was abundant and edible. The sushi servings were adequate. However, their variations of American food (i.e. pizza) needs to be abandoned, as they should stick the Asian themes, though I understand they want to have as much variety as possible. The place barely passes my hygienic test, where I felt the place was clean, though I'm sure the place could've been cleaner as I saw some grime and sub-standard settings that need beautification. The atmosphere is a "cookie-cutter" Chinese restaurant as far as I'm concerned, with generic marble-looking tables, standard industrial carpet, generic wall art, chandeliers, and the waiters/waitresses dressed in stereotypical Asian server attire. If you're looking for a casual afternoon or night place in Concord to swallow lots of food, China Wall is your place. If you're not lenient on atmosphere, food display, or overall presentation, then you're better off elsewhere. read more

Minus 1 star for the not so clean atmosphere (but I do appreciate that my stomach does not hurt after I eat here), and minus another star for the waitress/waiters because they are not so friendly. This place would be 2 stars, but I gave them an extra star for the variety of food. Their food is decent. If you are looking for gourmet chinese food this is not your restaurant. If you are looking for authentic chinese food hit up San Francisco's Chinatown or Oakland's Chinatown. Pros- variety of food. dim sum, soups, salad, fruits, sushi bar, french fries & pizza for the kids, crabs, shrimp, steam fish, lobster roll, fried wontons, spring rolls, beef broccoli, chicken broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, cashew chicken, fried zucchini, duck, fried rice, lo mein noodles, wall of desserts, name a dish they probably have it. cons- food is just a little too salty. desserts are too dry, safe bet is to stick with the fruit. Not sure about the prices since we come here for family gatherings. the yummy foods: green sting beens and sesame balls read more

Meow? I questioned to my luv as we chose a new place to try in the area. I was a bit wary as I saw the Yelp star rating, but we decided to give it a shot anyways. Surprisingly, the selection here is quite diverse! Lots of different Chinese dishes as well as some unique things. The fried rice here tasted very good and was fresh. The sushi here was hit or miss, some were ok, others the fish didn't taste very fresh. My luv felt some of the dishes were buttery to get customers full faster. I'd say this was true on certain dishes but not on others. Service here was actually very friendly for us. The guy who filed our waters and came back numerous times was very polite. For the price, I think everything was pretty fair, and overall not too bad for a Chinese food buffet. Worth a shot I think ^ ^ *chirp!* read more

I walked into this restaurant thinking it couldn't be that bad. From the first look it was busy and the food looked decent, once I sat down and took the first bite I knew we fucked up by coming here. The raw fish on the sushi was literally warm, the chicken taste like rotten frog, the rice was boof... chow mein wasn't that's bad same with the ice cream but the soup even taste like boiled spit & vegetables. NEVER AGAIN will I eat at this Shit Hole!!!! They also charge extra if you don't finish your food... Probably because the food so damn nasty nobody finishes there food. DISGUSTING!!!!! read more

Halleluyah! Praise the Lord! After not going here for maybe 7 months or so, we went last week and my husband declared he was finally "over" this place. First off, I will say that the service has always been polite and prompt. I'll give props where props are due. Other than that, it's a big grease-a-thon. I usually just get plain rice, something veggie looking (usually just potatos) and food off the anemic looking salad bar. There is usually a very wide selection of grease-ladden meat dishes. Even eating just vegetables here I always leave gastrically distressed. I'm not joking on that either. Also, I know I have heard them play Backstreet Boys' cds, in their entirety, multiple times here. Woot! read more

Like this mediocre food? Yeah, not so much... Price is reasonable and selection is decent. But who needs a lot of just average or below average Chinese food? Waste of time, waste of space. Don't do it. read more

I came with my Niece and her husband to try a new place for lunch.. All of us agreed the food was really good. We all went back for seconds. The favorites were the Hot & Sour soup, shrimp, teriyaki chicken, and the chicken wings were great, and the veggies were all good. I don't remember everything we tried, but we all put this restaurant on our list to eat at again. The staff was attentive and helpful. This place gets my vote, a winner! read more

This place has a good selection of food. I think if your a seafood lover you'll enjoy that you can eat as much as you want. I'm not a seafood fan. They did have a lot of other choices. They also had a variety of dessert too. The over all quality is average. It's not horrible, and nor is it gourmet. The food is quickly refilled, and it's hot. I would recommend this place if you're craving fast chinese food. I have been to this place a few times. prior to my review. However it's normally busy. I haven't been there when it's been dead, and it's a good mixture of people of all nationality. That's always a plus when you go to a ethnic resturant. read more

For a Chinese buffet, this is a pretty good deal. Tasty food, nice service. Very reasonable price! read more

What a sweet deal. My buddy invited me here he lives in Pleasant Hill. I liked everything, fantastic selection and value plus the salmon and grouper are great. We are thinking it's worth the drive from the $$$ Bay Area to go to concord for a good buffet like this. Also the a staff was very nice and friendly. read more

China Wall Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Concord, California

See all

The place is clean and service was good. The food however could be better. The food is okay, but some of it just didn't taste that fresh. I think the place could have more variety too and some of the selection could make it look more apealing. So for a buffet its okay, but it is quantity not quality. read more

What do I look for in a buffet? Variety for the right Price! For me, service at a buffet is not a high priority, but the service is actually very good. How can you beat ~ $8 for a lunch buffet including hot tea? They had 6 separate food areas, some for hot and some for cold food. Because there were lots of customers, the food is not sitting there for very long. So just get a clean plate and fill it up. Then do it again and again and be happy! read more

The employees are very nice but the food is NOT. I only ate things i was used to eating and it still wasn't that great. People were grabbing food with their hands and walked around eating it while looking for more food to eat. There is a lot of low class people who eat here. Don't get me wrong the food looks good but you have to be careful. Not a place for a wealthy family to eat at. read more

This restaurant's buffet is not that great.. Their sea foods is ok ok. Their sushi are certainly horrible, the sushi was soggy and not fully wrapped by seaweed. The waitress usually misunderstood, for example. My husband ordered three drink but ended up they gave us four drink. The bathroom is really nasty, and the waitress are unprofessional, because they were playing with their hair on their duty. The price is kinda rip off because we don't really satisfied with our foods. read more

China Wall Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Concord, California

I'm not a big fan of buffet restaurants. My mom LOVES this place and is always talking about it, so finally she got me to go w/ her. Like most buffets, this place is more about quantity and not quality-- everyone is filling their plates to the maximum. I cannot believe how much food people eat here. It's a packed house on the wknds. They do offer a lot of dishes... your variety of chicken dishes, beef, pork, veggie or noodles- all very high in sodium. Pricing is very reasonable for a buffet. It's all you can eat for about $10 a person. Anyway, I wasn't impressed. Sorry mom. read more

Food is always amazing service on the other hand blows. Ive been here for an hour and had to get up to get the waiters attention twice. I'm going to be late going back to lunch because I have ten minutes to be clocked in and haven't even received my roll. Very disappointed I've come a few times and it happens whether its busy or slow. I give up, one chance to many. read more

Me and my friends were suppose to dine in Golden Corral buffet but the line was too long so we decided to go to China Wall instead. Me and one of my friend got a piece of oyster cause it was newly served. I ate the oyster whole and as soon as I bite it, the taste was soooo bad that I almost puked. I told my friends that it tastes so bad that I have to throw it out. My friend tried hers and it tasted so bad too. We told the server that the oysters tasted bad and she replied, "I will tell the manager." She came back and told us that we were the only ones who complained and we were "LUCKY" that we got the bad oysters! SERIOUSLY?!?! And no apology at all! We have been to this buffet a couple of times and the service and food is getting worse. We will not be surprised if the Departments of Health will close this establishment. Floor is also dirty. read more

Let me preface this by saying you're paying around 9$ for lunch. Buffet lunch. So why some of y'all expecting 5 star anything is astounding to me. You get what you pay for! But with that being said, in my opinion, you actually get quite a bit of value for this place. It's much better food than other Chinese buffets I've been to, as well as it's never been shut down to rat infestation as some of the other asian places in the area have been experiencing. I consider that a bonus! (again, it's something that just comes with the territory). It's all about when you go... it's usually better to go when they're busier, as turnover is faster and things do tend to be fresher. For me, there's nothing I hate more at a buffet than crunchy dried rice hiding in soft pillowy rice. It's like a dream that turns into a nightmare real quick! But the food isn't bad for 9$ all you can eat. Just know what to go for, and expect what you should. Once you do that, you'll be pleasantly surprised. But really, the service is great for what it is... the ladies make rounds every so often regarding your plates, and during that time you might have to ask for refills. And that's fine for me; sometimes they notice and some times they don't. They're warm and friendlier than others that I've met. Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Cost: 4/5 Overall Value of Visit: 4/5 Overall, it's a really good place as long as your expectations are realistic. You'll find me there at least once a month. :) Ps. They're raising prices I think either at the beginning of Jan or Jan 21. But it's still going to be under 10$. read more

Busy place ESPECIALLY on Sundays. Waiters are nice, but some customers are beyond rude and I don't blame the waiters for looking stressed and over it. It's cheap and the food is okay. I usually go for whatever item just came out of the kitchen and stay away from the sushi. read more

I'm not trying to pick on this place but the 2 stars are mostly for the quality of the food. The service is good and the waitresses are attentive even though they don't speak any English. The food selection is abundant and it seems like a good value because of the unlimited amount of shell fish you can cram down for one low price. But the place is very busy with TV's blaring everywhere and not a good place to go if you want to sit down and have a nice quite dinner. read more

Loved this place until a bit more than a year ago and ate there about once a month for dinner and several times a month for lunch. Crispy things are soggy, fish is over cooked, refilled items seem like they've been waiting in the kitchen too long, just not so great any more. read more

Honestly was enjoyable up until a certain point. The owner got really intense for us wasting food which is completely understandable but she didn't need to a rant for 30 minutes. We're sorry but that genuinely wasn't necessary read more

Its great for a buffet! Everyone else on here is leaving reviews as if they have never been to a buffet! Yes the bathrooms are a little messy, but theres a great selection on all you can eat foods! I recommend! read more

I suggested to 2 friends that we eat at China Wall Buffet tonight. It was horrible! The wasabe was tasteless, even sour. Most of the dishes that I had I should have passed on. Most were tasteless and/or TOO salty. Just NOT ANY GOOD. I was embarrassed to have suggested that we eat here. Save your money. Can I give it a zero? You know what I mean . . . read more
