Stopped in with our church group right after services soon after the restaurant had opened…read more Pleanty of cars in the parking lot when we arrived. We opted for the buffet and there was plenty of food to select from. Loved the Egg Rolls being they are very hard to find now a days. All of the Chicken and shrimp fried rice was excellent. Loved the fish and the fresh shrimp to peel. Only down side was that they did not have Low-Sodium Soy Sauce. There were 8 of us and did not hear any one complain about any of the meal at the table. Out waitress was excellent and kept the table clean as we went up for more courses and drinks were kept full. They only serve Pepsi products and do not have Zero Sugar Pepsi. We will be back that is for sure.

Perfect lunch spot if you want something more than burgers/pizza, or have kids in tow. Plenty of…read moreoptions for most any kind of picky eater, everything is hot and fresh tasting. Even with the lunch rush, the buffet table is kept well stocked, and if you order off the menu, it isn't a long wait for the menu items (prepared fresh, not poached off the buffet). All the servers hustle and do a good job keeping up with drink refills, our regular server Nancy and others remember repeat customers, and add the extra touch of friendliness that makes places welcoming.

King Noodle 07-17-26…read more Nice size Dining Room with seating for both small and large groups. They have noodle dishes, rice dishes, appetizers, and entrees. We had the: Pan Fried Pork Dumplings. Orange Chicken with Fried Rice. General Tso Chicken with Fried Rice The staff at King Noodle are friendly and polite. The food is served hot and fresh. . This is our second time to eat here and the service and food are amazing. As before, I look forward to visiting King Noodle and trying different dishes! Today we got Boba Tea! It was refreshing and delicious. I got the mango tea with popping mango balls! It was so good.

The beef noodle soup was good but not great, the octopus balls were easily the best tasting out of the two. Broth was lacking flavor and substance.

Incredible food. They could not present their buffet food in full-sized trays but the half trays were always fresh and refilled. My favorites were available especially the coconut shrimp. The hot and fresh baked spinach was amazing. The smallness of the place made the ambiance cozy and quiet enough to enjoy great food. Bathroom was clean as always. Owner and staff were hospitable as always. Owner even remembered me for my visits. Will always pass this place from the highway whenever I could..I sadly live around 3 hrs from it. Kudos and Godbless!

Ordered pineapple curry with veggies as main dish. It was super amazing. Loaded was good healthy veggies, Chunk of pineapple pieces, it was absolutely yum.

Of course got my Hojicha (hot) with oat milk and 25% sugar, no boba. It was perfect. It was a little drizzley out and I was stopping to check on my tire situation (no flat!) Had to get a green onion pancake, you just can't resist. This is the quintessential Taiwanese snack, (any-time-day savory snack) that just brings back childhood memories for me. The crispy crunchy outer layer was perfect and before you take that first bite, light dip in the sauce... or doesn't need the sauce, it's that good. Amazing selection of drinks + savory snacks + chill atmosphere... what could be better?

The most recent one we've enjoyed was Pandan Coconut milk tea; one with 75% brown sugar boba; the other with coconut jelly. We'll get these again for sure. Some items on their food menu are: Takoyaki Taiwanese Cold Noodles Braised pork rice box Bbq pork bao I'm not a cold noodle person, but surprisingly those were quite delish. Their bun was warmed up and you know how that goes - the dough becomes chewy. We'd recommend the braised pork. This is an internet cafe with wall outlets next to each table for laptop workers. There's indoor and outdoor seating, some cushined chairs, and a comfy couch for loungers. The decor is warm with a nicely painted design. Excellent friendly service tops off the tea cups with helpful information about the teas and options for how they're served. I hope you find this somewhat hidden spot in Downtown Temple and give them a try!

It took about 30 minutes for us to receive our food order that we ordered online which to us was not that bad compared to other places we have been too! I enjoyed the dumplings very much! The sushi, the rolls were a bit bigger than I was used too. But, these 2 things honestly filled me up pretty good and I usually have to order more. I would def recommend trying the food out. I can't comment on the service inside or the location of the place. But, I will say should I ever be back again, i would def order from here.

Their buffet use to be really good but lately it is greesy and tasteless. Very disappointed.read more

China Café -- 08-28-26…read more I had lunch at China Café with my grandson, and we had an enjoyable experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was good. You can order from the menu or choose the buffet. We decided to try the buffet, and the food was hot and appeared to be fresh. There was a good variety to choose from, including soups, salads, desserts, ice cream, and many traditional Chinese dishes. Some of my favorites were the coconut shrimp and General Tso's chicken. We both really enjoyed the egg drop soup and hot and sour soup as well. The dining room was clean and comfortable, with plenty of seating. One nice feature was being able to watch the chef prepare the sushi. There was also a good variety of sushi available. As with any buffet, some days can be better than others. This was definitely a good day! The food was satisfying, the selection was good, and most importantly, my grandson and I enjoyed our lunch together. Overall, we had a good experience and would be happy to come back

Shouldn't it be consistent at whatever location you go to? We are not going back. Maybe they hired all the former dynasty employees. If you want nasty chinese food temple is your place.
