These days it seems that most Chinese restaurants are buffets, but not Overseas. It is mainly a…read moretake out place, but there is limited seating inside. The food is terrific and the portion sizes are very reasonable compared to the cost. Two people can eat here with an appetizer for under $20.00. My personal favorite on the menu is their Hunan Beef Combination plate that comes with the entree, pork fried rice, and an eggroll. They take cash and checks only, so don't bother trying to pay with a debit/credit card here.

Great Portions & Solid Main Dishes, But the Vibe and Sides Need Work…read more Overseas Chinese Restaurant is a bit of a mixed bag. The ambiance is stuck in the past and desperately needs some major updates--honestly, it always seems a little dirty inside, and the service is pretty mediocre. That said, the food keeps me coming back for a few specific highlights: Chicken w. Mixed Vegetables: This is my all-time go-to. They do not skimp here; you get a great amount of both chicken and fresh veggies. Mixed Vegetables w. Garlic Sauce: I love this sauce so much I usually buy a quart of it to take home. Egg Rolls (4/5): Flavor-wise, these are absolutely delicious! The only downside is the size--they really need to be twice the size like they used to be. Sweet & Sour Chicken: The chicken itself can be hit-or-miss and is occasionally chewy, but it's still great if you drown it in their delicious sweet and sour sauce. Skip the Roast Pork Fried Rice: It is incredibly bland. You're much better off just going with the healthier option of White Rice. Come for the portions on the main dishes and the flavor of the egg rolls, but temper your expectations for the atmosphere and the sides.

Summary: Not busy for Saturday night, friendly and attentive server, affordable place, cold food,…read moredip your own ice cream and slice your own meat stations, more desserts than main courses, abandoned stir fry station with raw chicken left out in open, hand dryers in bathrooms with no automated sink faucets. TLDR version: First impressions: I was nervous when we pulled up at 5:00 pm on a Saturday night and there were only four cars parked anywhere near this restaurant, which is located in a strip mall. A few other customers arrived after us, but it was not nearly as busy as I expected it to be. There was no wait, and we were seated immediately in a booth in their large dining room. I'm used to paying before eating at a buffet, but this place doesn't charge until you're ready to leave. Subtotal for 3 of us (two waters and one soda) was $49, so about $15/person. First, the good: We had a very friendly server who was very attentive with refills and clearing plates. She asked multiple times if we were doing okay or if we needed anything. We tipped well because of the excellent service. Now the bad: I walked around the buffet tables before deciding what to try. The salad bar was disappointing because it only had iceberg lettuce, not even romaine, just a chopped up head of lettuce. There was an assortment of fried chicken: sesame, orange, sweet-n-sour, etc. There was a roast in a pan with a large knife laying next to it, which you were expected to slice yourself. There was a pan of fried rice, green beans, and crab rangoon. There was no steamed rice available. A small selection of sushi was at a large station along the wall. The same station had what appeared to be ingredients for a fresh stir fry: raw chicken in a bowl, along with an assortment of raw vegetables, but the flattop grill next to it was off, and it didn't appear that anything was going to be cooked anytime soon. We were there an hour, and all of that food, including the raw chicken, just sat there. There was an enormous selection of desserts. In fact, there were more desserts than anything else. A huge table was filled with an assortment of fruits, puddings, and gelatins. Another table was filled with an assortment of cookies and petite cakes. There was also a large assortment of ice cream in a deep freezer. You were expected to dip it yourself with provided scoops, which were sitting in a tiny sink well with a trickle of water running over them. I tried some of the various chicken, most of which was cold. A couple of sweet-n-sour chicken pieces were warm, but a third piece was so fatty I could not finish eating it. I tried a couple pieces of sushi, which were just okay. I ended up eating mostly fruit: strawberry-glazed bananas, apricots, some peaches, and a few pieces of broccoli. Restrooms: The women's restroom was clean; however, they have no paper towels. They have hand dryers, but the sinks are not automated, so most people are probably using their dirty hands to turn the knobs on the faucets and then touching them again to turn them off. (I used my elbow, and I used my shirt's hem to open the door.) Overall, I would not want to go there again. I would suggest they make various improvements, and they could even raise their prices a little bit to compensate. This place has nice potential, and I feel it could do really well with some changes.

My husband and I visited Crazy Buffet (aka Panda Buffet) in Galesburg, Illinois on a Sunday night,…read morearound 7 pm, in late Sept, 2024. The restaurant was scheduled to close at 9 pm; the rest of the neighborhood was already quite sleepy. All of the food that both my husband and I ate was quite tasty, including Asian buffet favorites such as Pepper Chicken; Mongolian beef; crab Rangoon; California sushi; and far more. They also offered some unique and tasty items, such as fried zucchini slices. They also had tubs of creamy and yummy ice cream for dessert. We rate the quality of the food that we ate as 4.5/5.0. However, by 7 pm, the restaurant was already winding down and many of the food trays were already near empty and weren't being replenished so there were many food offerings that we didn't get the chance to try. Our rating for variety is thus only 2/5. Service was okay (3/5). The waitress brought us our requested waters, and checked in once to see if everything was okay. The overall ambiance was of a typical Chinese buffet restaurant, and was maintained well. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. However, staff started to wind down the day at 8 pm, including mopping the floors of the main buffet area, the check-out counter, and restrooms while we were still eating and needing to walk in those areas! It was an hour to closing time! Finally, the restaurant was a good value for all-you-can-eat for $12.99/person at dinner, before tax and tip. We would return but probably earlier in the day to have full access to the variety of food choices and to ensure that we didn't interfere with the cleaning at closing.

I hate to leave this review because I have enjoyed eating at Golden Kitchen for several years, but…read moretoday's experience was extremely disappointing. After the way my complaint was handled, I will not be returning. When I placed my order, I specifically requested the vegetables I wanted in my vegetable soups and clearly stated that I did NOT want baby corn or peas. I was assured that my request would be accommodated. Yet when I received my order, the soup contained exactly what I had asked them to leave out. I called to explain the problem and was told there was nothing they could do because those are the ingredients that come in the soup. Then why assure me that my request could be accommodated? I have ordered this soup several times before with the vegetables I requested, so this was not some unreasonable expectation. I am angry about paying for an order that was not prepared as agreed and then being brushed off when I called about it. Mistakes happen, but refusing to take responsibility or make things right is unacceptable customer service. After several years of supporting this restaurant, I expected better. Golden Kitchen has lost a longtime customer.
