Family Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Junction City, Kansas

A typical American Chinese buffet with the typical food and a small selection of sushi. The options for sushi were very limited, and the quality was typical of a buffet. There were plenty of options for ice cream. On the bright side, it wasn't too expensive for the food options at the buffet. The inside was quite outdated. It's a decent buffet for the Junction City/Manhattan, KS area, but it's nothing special. This place gets 3.5 out of 5 stars. read more

The staff is super nice. However, I filled a plate with my favorites and didn't like one thing I tried. Definitely head down the road to Jade Dragon. read more

The BUFFET is alway both Chinese & American food.. Great choices.. staff is always great to serve..

Food here is pretty ok. It's a nice mix between American and Chinese and other food types so kids and adults will be satisfied. A bit overpriced, though. Has an ice cream bar, which is a massive plus. Service is good and quick, and the staff are very nice. The ambiance is fitting and traditional, yet outdated. The faded paint and overall build is clearly not the most recent. I liked the fish tanks at the front, though. Makes a very nice touch. read more

food sucked but the place was clean atleast. Probably wouldn't come here ever again. Service was Ok.

This place was so close to the truck parking lot I did not even look to see what kind food they had. But im glad I did because I like their food so much I'm coming back next time. A different choice when comparing to Freddie's or taco bell. If you follow me you know I love me some Chinese food. read more

Look, I know what I am walking into when I come to a place like this. I don't expect a five star gourmet line up of chinese dishes. What I do expect to find are a good handful of solid dishes that make my visit worth while, and I don't have to wait to eat. For $10.95, you get your standard Chinese fried items (wontons, spring rolls, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken), Chinese fast food items, sushi, and a salad/dessert bar. I'll let you pick and choose which items you like, but by far my favorite are the green beans, fried donut (so good by the way), fried shrimp, pepper shrimp (not too salty and has a nice crisp), the fried spring roll (little strange looking, but yummy), and fried chicken wing. Whoever is working the fried items, knows what's up. As for the other items, they are hit or miss. I would give this buffet one more star if it were right under $10 because I have been to other places that charge 9 bucks and they come with Mongolian bbq. I recommend this buffet if you are craving Chinese fast food and want some ice cream at the end of your meal. It's decent and I'll be coming back when I need my buffet fix. :) read more

I went in after a long day at work. When I ordered two waters and two iced teas the waitress was very rude and questioned why two people needed four drinks. When I said that I always get water she rolled her eyes and walked away. Not sure when asking for water was a crime but I walked out they will never get my business I wish I could give lower than one star. read more

Family Buffet - two plates of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - Junction City, Kansas

My Mother and I ate there today and I can honestly say that it STUNK BIG TIME the food was hard and not good at all. The only thing good about this place is it was clean. read more

You get what you expect, it's a Chinese buffet not a 5 star restaurant. The staff has been nice and helpful every-time. Its pretty clean for what you would expect. If you don't go in with high standards, I think it'll be pretty decent for someone who wants some Chinese food. Never really had any problems with food being stale or out for too long. Not bad read more

This was a lil gem of a place. The buffet was very reasonably priced. Food was very good, I tried a lil of everything but the desserts, my husband tried them tho and he had chocolate pudding and a chocolate cake, and he really enjoy it. read more

Family Buffet - a variety of food in plastic containers - Chinese Near Me - Junction City, Kansas

Not only was the food so SALTY I had to constantly ask for drink refills, (as the waitress seemed oblivious to the sound of ice clattering in my EMPTY cup but I found myself stopping every 50 miles for a toilet afterwards. I've been here three times and it's always the same. So if you don't want COLD, OLD, SALTY, crap food-just keep driving folks. It's better to be hungry than to feel like this! Three strikes, you're out! Never again! read more

It's not a bad place. Seriously I think most of these people are exaggerating big time! I've been all over the country and ate at some places that were actual hell holes, this place is far from that. It's outdated, and the buffet offerings aren't that much but there's still plenty to where you shouldn't leave hungry. The day we went in, it was clean and quiet. Until 530pm (Sunday) rolled around and here comes the crowd, groups with a lot of people and the buffet really cleared out. That was a negative, they didn't seem to keep up with the amount of people tearing up the food and replenishing the buffet. It's a good place to swing by and grab a bite if you're passing through. read more

I am surprised to read these bad reviews about family buffet! My husband and I go there every pay period for Chinese food! We are from Cali and this is the BEST Chinese food I have had in a while! I come from a tourist town in central Cali ( all there is are restaurants) and he comes from SF so to find a place here in Kansas that could satisfy us was amazing! The sweet tea and the walnut chicken is my favorite read more

This is a good place to eat, food is okay, not the worst nor the best, but is pretty good for the area. Remember where you are. The middle of Kansas, not New York City or Chicago. The food is hot and fresh as long as you are there before closing time. Buffet for under $10 not bad. read more

Family Buffet - Buffet line - Chinese Near Me - Junction City, Kansas

Great food and very friendly service!

Visiting restaurant from Kentucky. Everything just felt dirty and sticky, some food was left out way to long.

Decent buffet, 3 adults ate for around 37 dollars there wasn't any music or anything so the silence was kind of awkward and I could hear every conversation in the restaurant. If you eat here I recommend not being too far from a bathroom 30-45 minutes later because you'll need to buy some new pants. read more

Terrible, greasy (not in the good way) food. Staff was inattentive. People were refilling their own drinks to include digging in the ice . To top it off we all got diarrhea. Wish I could give zero stars read more

Yeah this place is pretty grimy. I felt like I needed a tetanus shot after leaving. Every surface has a sticky thick film on it and the walls and window blinds have bits of food splattered on them. The food is fairish. The sushi is fairish. The price is pretty good. Typical Junction City dining. Didn't have any diarrhea so theirs that. read more

A source told be a few years back that every morning when they open the building they had to sweep roaches off of the counters and everywhere in the kitchen before they began cooking, so I never ate their again after that lol.. read more

We decided to stop here because it would be quick and we thought it can't be that bad but to my surprise it was worse then bad. This restaurant was the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. If I could get it give it a zero I would. The fish was rancid. The soup was not good either. I tried the cucumbers and one of them was sour. Don't go here. I'm sure the employees do not eat here. I wish I would've checked Google before we stopped at this restaurant. If you see how many ones are on Google you'll understand. read more

Had ate here once before but has been years ago so decided to give it a try again. Better than what I recalled but not by much. Has a little more variety than others but stuff doesn't taste as good. I also don't get why a lot of stuff (such as the rice, which was also quite bland) has orange food coloring added. I had to laugh at where they list chicken nuggets are actually bone-in wings. As also stated by others, the place could use a major renovation. read more

Decent buffet. Nice staff. I've had better Chinese buffets with more selection, but there simply aren't any Chinese buffets in this area. This one is probably the best one local and works for my Chinese fix. read more

My review only warrants 2.5* at best. We have contemplated for over a year whether to try this eatery. It saddens me to say that we should have waited longer and not been as hungry as we were. On a frequent basis this establishment looks desolate...with 4, maybe 5 cars at any given hour occupying its premises. I say, there must be a reason...there were. The exterior of the restaurant was modest and the dining area seemed decently layed out and clean. Tables were wobbly and easily moved by the slightest elbow push. We were seated in an area that was only occupied by one person at another table. Throughout our 30-45 minute visit, nearly every table around us became occupied...very hectic, lots of foot traffic, noise from people being seated around us...it was just a bit uncomfortable. The food: as in any Asian buffet you have a few rectangular stations with a variable selection. Unfortunately I'd say about 50% of what was up for grabs failed the visual appeal. After selecting a few items...again it saddens me to say that it was subpar in quality. 25% of what I had chosen was poor quality food. Some of the chicken tasted as if it had been cooking in steam for hours on end and was very gummy in texture. The glaze covering the chicken turned into a taffy caramel consistency...not in flavor but in edibility. There were about 3-5 samples of items that tasted strangely like dish soap. A full glass of Dr. Pepper could not rid me of that taste....as if they attempted to wash a pot with soap...didnt rinse it and began cooking with soap residue still inside. Not a place to eat should you actually be hungry. Staff: they were there but they werent. I saw the bus person and cleaner more than our waiter. Our waiter came one time during our visit. That was it. Our check never made it to the table. We got up and paid at the register. They were moderately priced. For the quantity of people and the number of full plates is ok. Had the food been better they would have received a 3.5* instead. Friendly staff...just not an active one. Bathrooms: STAY OUT AMD HOLD IT....if you can. So much focus in area cleanliness is brought into the seating area that I truly believe that the staff amd management forgot they even had bathrooms in the restaurant. Imagine a standard exterior 7/11 gas station bathroom...now imagine that inside this place. Enough said. Unless this establishment picks up better food preparation practices, an increase in customer service and appreciation and a sanitary restroom I have to say this was our one and only visit. Summary: Eat at your own risk for a moderate price and hold your bodily functions until you get home. read more

I am the pickiest foodie I know. The food here is great when you go during busy hours as with most buffet places. They have many options to choose from even foods kids will eat. Late at night, its not fresh or the options are limited to what is left, although a few times I have been at night they will make more. I love their food, chinese is my favorite. We lived here back in 2009, left in 20012 to return this year and its still good food. The staff are friendly although they seat you by the section with other people, I like my space and would rather sit away from people but I know the reasoning behind this. It is the best chinese food and good quality of food outside my favorite chinese place in Oklahoma. Its either here or their. I wont go any where else. If I noticed or seen anything obscene, I would not eat there, period. read more

okay, honestly i was fooled into this place, because FAMILY RESTAURANT sounded like homemade food like turkey, ham, steak, mashed potato, corn, green beans and etc. but this place is a chinese buffet, to be precise, americanized chinese made for one single purpose: to fat you up, and give you heart attack. - service: its a buffet, what do you expect - food: everything tasted alright. there were more than enough options to choose from, but not many of them were interesting. it is really just typical combination of all fried, dessert-like-sweet, oil-lathered, high-sodium, high-chance-of-heart-attack style americanized chinese food. - price: really cheap, if my memory serves correctly, i think i paid like $10 for dinner. if i was really broke and really hungry, i may come back, but that probably won't happen and i am not coming back. gave 3 stars because it was dirt cheap. meh. read more

Not has greatest food but good for the area. Sometimes I find the food has been left a little too long. The secret is to go when the place is busy and they will keep adding fresh food. They make very good sweet and sour soup. The sushi is ok but not great. read more

AHHHH RUN, SLOP SLOP SLOP! BEST PART WAS THE FORTUNE COOKIE!!! Crab ragoon didn't even have crab & when looking at my plate it was a guessing game as to what I was going to eat becuz the goo all stuck together & looked alike!!!!! RUN!!!!! & this was during the lunch hour, so everything was "fresh" so to speak! Have u ever had generals chicken dark meat?? Just ewwwww! All "chicken" seemed chewy & greasy like duck, but duck would cost more! So what was I eating? read more

We were lured in by the name of the restaurant "FAMILY" buffet and the description on urbanspoon said it was American AND Chinese. No. There was A pizza, along with some mashed potatoes, ham and corn. Other than that it was the most greasy and disgusting Chinese food I've ever had. I honestly don't believe that any of the meat was what they said it was. The chicken was soft and yellow, the ham was mushy with crunchy bits of who knows what and the crab.... No way in hell it was crab. Steer clear. read more

Owners are sweethearts here. Service is what you can normally expect and food is your usual Chinese/American food. What really gets you is the GREAT price! Seriously, I eat a lot so it's nice to get full for 10 bucks or less on any given meal. read more

The chicken wings are delicious! I rarely eat at the buffet because the ambiance is not esthetically pleasing. If your gonna get take-out, this place is good for Junction City, KS. Overall, the restaurant is OK. read more

We ordered crab legs from 2 separate waiters and never got our crab legs. The food was horrible we are never returning there and the service was terrible and it was hot inside the restaurant read more

I'm a trucker.There's plenty parking spot here. They have good food for the price. We're eating Chinese food when we're coming to Chinese restaurant. You can't expect them to have the best pizza. It's not Italian restaurant. Come on man!!!! I drove all over and even to California. They have the best Asian food over there. Here for $10. I just eat and go. I tried out little bit of everything. If i like I'll go back to buffet and get more. read more
