    Great breakfast, wonderful servers, and large portions. I have been coming here once a week and will definitely continue.

    The corned beef hash is too salty. The regular breakfast eggs and sausage was basic and nothing special. The service was excellent.

    So as far as buffets it is what it is. It's affordable but don't expect top of the line. …read more. The food was good. The place was clean. Food was stocked with a large variety. Staff was good. Sushi bar lacked availability. Might go back if I wanted buffet quality foods.

    China One Buffet in Big Rapids, MI, is the kind of place that delivers exactly what you want from a…read moreproper buffet experience--hot, fresh food, a wide variety of options, and service that operates with near-military precision. A group of work friends and I initially planned to grab takeout but wisely chose to dine in. A break from the office was well worth it. The buffet stations were consistently stocked, ensuring there was never an empty tray. Every dish was hot and fresh, a rarity for some buffets. The only mild mishap was one unfortunate diner underestimating the temperature of a bacon-wrapped bite--though, if anything, this speaks to the kitchen's dedication to serving food at optimal temperatures. I piled my plate high with their green beans, cooked in a style I describe as distinctly Chinese--simple, flavorful, and addictively good. General Tso's chicken was rich and saucy, delivering just the right balance of sweet and spice. While I can't confirm the origins of the General's recipe, I can tell you it's certainly not from the Colonel. The pepper steak was well-prepared, and in a strategic move, I borrowed some broccoli from the chicken and broccoli dish, a maneuver I highly recommend for boosting vegetable intake. One of the more mysterious, yet delightful, items was a spring roll filled with a meat pâté-like filling. I didn't know exactly what I was eating, but I did know I wanted more of it. Using green beans as a base instead of rice proved to be an excellent choice, keeping the meal lighter and preventing an afternoon energy crash. The service was exemplary. The staff moved with sniper-like accuracy, ensuring my ice water was never empty--I have never felt more hydrated at a restaurant. The environment was clean, though the restaurant has seen younger days. It has been around for years, and I don't think I've seen a change. China One Buffet checks all the necessary boxes--solid food quality, exceptional service, and an experience that delivers on expectations. I'll absolutely be back, green beans first, mystery spring roll second. If you're looking for a buffet that gets it right, this is one worth visiting.

    This is supposed to be a scallop.  It is a fish cake roll.  False advertising I say.
