Always friendly and good prices. Food is good, I do appreciate having a buffet nearby.

Every summer I pack up my car in Austin TX to meet my X whom brings my kids down from Kansas City and we meet roughly half way in Pauls Valley, OK. Needless to say, the timing can be off so on one occasion me and my kids decided to get some grub while waiting to meet their mother. This is how I came about dining at Green Tea Buffet. The restaurant is located a stones throw from I-35 in a safe part of town, in front of Walmart. It's a simple and small yet very clean facility with small accents of Chinese culture thrown in here and there making for a nice ambiance. While they do have a menu one can order from, my kids and I decided to hit the buffet so we can sample a lot of goodies. Just to note the staff here are extremely friendly and always have a smile, which is to say the only time I went everyone was nice. After we gave our drink order, my girls and I hit the buffet. Now I've been to many mega Chinese buffets and this is a scaled down version yet they have many of the popular dishes. Some of our favorite items were the delicious "chicken on a stick" which literally flakes away from the skewer, the mei fun which has rice vermicelli noodles with some veggies like bean sprouts and carrots, fried rice and lo mein. These were all extremely well prepared and the servers actually rotate the old items out aka FIFO at regular intervals and give a good cleaning while there. Other notable items that were tasty are the egg roll and fried spring rolls which I prefer, tender beef and broccoli, wantons, creamy crab Rangoon and the Chinese donut. While I didn't get the following items my kids did and they liked the fried chicken wings, sweet and sour chicken, General Tso's chicken and roast pork. If these are too heavy for you, they also have a fresh salad bar with normal "fixing's" along with pasta salad, fresh fruit and California rolls (please note eating sushi rolls that have been sitting out are never very good as the rice cools down to keep the protein cold, thus missing the point of sushi) as well as various sweets like puddings, cakes berries and something I despise that fruit salad with whipped cream; I'll never eat that anywhere, ever! Sorry too many times burned at Church functions. I honestly can't recall if they had an ice cream machine b/c if they did I would have eaten it! Even with my sorrow of dropping my kids off to not see them for another year or so, Green Tea Buffet offered a nice meal and time spent with my kids. The food is good, the people nice and the restaurant is safe and clean. I really had low expectations when I stopped by and left with a smile on my face while my energy levels dipped from digesting a good meal. If you're traveling and in the area with an itch for Chinese, stop on by! read more

Terrible service. Refused to serve us when we walked in. Hours says closes at 9:30 and they closed at 9:00. Walked in at 8:45. Do not recommend! And place is dirty Inside read more

The food was gross we paid 65 for two people and it tasted really bad and old This place has gone down hill

Buffet was big for a small town. Food was hot and good. Not as clean and organized as I would like, it needs organizing badly. They took our drink orders but didn't check back, the drinks were very seltzer tasting and need adjustments to the soda machine. Lots of choices. read more

This place has gone way down hill even before COVID-19. Funky flavors with runny sauces. The menu doesn't even make sense. The have a section for FRESH SEAFOOD and list 9 Shrimp items and nothing else. See attached photo. read more

Please update your hours on YELP & the other information sites! We drove from Sulphur. Everything online said "open" & gave the hours of business. When we got here the sign on the door said "closed Mondays". Frustrating, to say the least! Headed to Ardmore from now on. read more

Great food! Been here twice when it was busy and slower. Food was great both occasions. Chinese buffets are my favorite. This place is as good as any I have visited. Food quality and service are top notch. Easy access off I-35. Highly recommend this place. Family run and and owned. read more

It's ok but wish they had real sushi to order, wonton soup, and real egg rolls. PaulsValley doesn't have much to choose from. Being from the city I see so many food opportunities here....... read more

Good variety of Asian cuisines. Sushi is California roll. Plenty of great food on buffet, friendly staff. CLEAN NOT properly marked on map... The buffet is usually fresh, (Chicken Teriyaki is often tough,) they DO HAVE MENU ITEMS, but I've always enjoyed the Variety of the buffet. Soups are great, but eating buffet fare with chopsticks is best part of meal! read more

Green Tea Buffet - Peaceful day - Chinese Near Me - Pauls Valley, Oklahoma

When I moved to Pauls Valley, green tea was such a pleasant surprise! From the music to the TV then from the pepper chicken (which is my favorite) to the eggrolls, I really think this is one of the best Chinese restaurants around. The food is fresh, the service is friendly, and I genuinely am excited to go each time. read more

The food was surprisingly really good, just passing through decided to stop. Would definitely recommend 10/10!

Wow, I was surprised. Went during dinner time on a Thursday while staying at a nearby hotel. Was fairly crowded. Everything was fresh and tasted great! The trick to getting fresh items at a buffet is going at a busy time, otherwise you may eat things that have been sitting out for a while. If I'm ever passing through Pauls Valley, I would absolutely stop here again. read more

The food is fresh but it all tastes the same. If they ever figured out how to SPICE things this place would be over the top. In the mean time the food is good. The service is good and friendly. Very clean. It just doesn't scratch the oriental food itch that I get every once and a while. We go there. My husband loves it. As I said, the food is very fresh.. Try it out. read more

Love love love Green Tea Buffet. Buffet is always fresh & has so many options. I love their coconut shrimp & Lo Mein. We've been eating here for many many years. We've watched the owners young sons grow into amazing young men. read more

This place was brand new right next to the Local Wal-Mart on a little strip mall... I got there a little late for lunch at 3:00pm.. It took a second for the staff to sit me down-- she was cleaning the floors.. I went to the buffet and it looked doubtful at best. I stuck to the basics and sample a few dishes... ranged from spicy to sweet and sticky... the fried rice was terrible all dried up and hard, the sweet and sour was pure sugar... I don't care to go back. read more

I used to eat here all the time when I drove to Pauls Valley for work. The food always tasted fresh and not like it had been left out for a long time. The staff was friendly. read more

The buffet was not bad at all. There aren't many choices in Paul's valley, and this place is not too bad. The food was hot and fresh. The service was lacking though. I would rate a little higher had the service been a little better. read more

This place looks just like any other Chinese buffet you've ever been too. But... The food is good and the place is clean. The staff was very friendly and smiling. read more

They have great food, are always super friendly and polite, and the restaurant is always super clean. My family loves coming to this restaurant. It's the best Chinese's food in town! read more

I tried a few of there items and some of the food has a awful after taste like the soda, tea, water, dumplings, ice cream..... just about anything made with water had a weird taste and it wasn't for me!!!! I didn't enjoy my food because of the weird flavor! I figured that if I waited a couple months and went back that things would be different but no it was the same and they charged me for each bottle water I drank that day! Btw I do drink water from the faucet and never tasted anything like their water! I was terrified to go back!!!!! read more

I love Green Tea!! The food is amazing and the lady who is constantly working is so sweet and she will remember you if you come in more than twice and the price is really reasonable. I go there about once or twice a month and I plan to keep doing so for a long time. read more

Food - 4 stars Selection - 3 stars Service - 3 stars Store Intangibles - 3 stars This is your typical little American Chinese place. The location is nice and the place is well kept. I opted for the takeout on this particular night but was observant of everything else going on in house. The buffet had about 3 different bars filled with all the standard fare. The most important thing in a buffet, other than perhaps selection...cleanliness. The employees made certain that they kept the buffet very clean. Spills and drippings were cleaned quickly and containers were kept mostly full and fresh. If I had had more time, I would've gladly enjoyed the buffet. Instead, I got some sweet and sour chicken to go. It came with pork fried rice and an eggroll. The food was very good and more than enough for a single meal. I have no complaints from this place at all and would gladly go back any time I wanted Chinese food in Paul's Valley. I have to think that the other poster had a bad experience, and it's no wonder why. She mentions in her own post that she got there at a time that was too late for lunch but too early for dinner. Of course a buffet is going to suffer in non-peak hours. The fried rice was actually quite good...it had a nice starchy quality that you usually find in white rice but rarely do in fried rice. Also had a healthy dose of peas and carrots, and an amazing amount of pork. More onions than I personally care for, but they are large and easily picked out. I would recommend at least trying this place if you like american style chinese. read more
