    Sushi
    Casimir P.

    My expectations were surpassed! The sushi was fantastic, not the best selection, but they did have straight up sashimi, which is fantastic, not many buffets have that. The fish tasted fresh and delicious as well. The Chinese foods were also great, the chicken was superb. Very nice clean restaurant as well, good atmosphere and cheap price. Of the best buffets in all of Memphis.

    Bland

    Another bland no taste Chinese place trying to find places I can go that's around my way of work so and waste of time and money on bland Chinese food okay well the online ordering was great they had it fast on time another knock out ugh!!!

    a variety of food items

    Nothing here tastes very good at all. The sushi was alright. I love me a big buffet, but some (not all) of it should be tasty. Many bites went into my napkin. I didn't go back for seconds of anything at all. Dinner buffet costs $14.99 per person. Server was prompt.

    Everything on this plate was awesome..

    This was our very first time coming here! Absolutely nothing special.. nothing terrible... as of March/2019 one adult lunch buffet with out a drink is $8.99.. not bad! Staff was nice but they try to force everyone to sit close together and we don't like that so we always move. Some foods were WAAAY too salty but good flavor! We will NOT be in a rush to come back here unless we're just out in this area! Ice cream are in cups too! Sushi is AWESOME

    Tempura shrimp and egg drop soup

    The food is mediocre. They have the typical section of Chinese cuisine. The best thing was the black pepper and the hot and spicy chicken, fried rice, and the rice noodles. I have yet to find a really great Chinese buffet. Bathrooms were disgusting! I won't be returning.

    Very fresh!

    The food was just ok. Sushi was very generic and most everything tasted like a cucumber roll.

    Firstly, I want to thank China Spring for expanding their Uber Eats delivery area to include where…read moreI live. Please don't change it or I will be very sad but will make the trek to Cordova for your tasty snacks. Since the pandemic began (yes it is still happening for all you non-believers), husband and I have ordered from every restaurant in our service area. A few weeks ago, China Spring popped up. We love Chinese food and supporting small local restaurants, so we ordered. Y'all... This is the best Chinese food I've ever had in Memphis. I've ordered and dined in at a lot of places, so I'm an expert in this, please trust me. You can tell that they put their heart and soul into their food. Every single bite is fresh and delicious. I don't normally like dumplings (my husband does), but China Spring dumplings are the best I've ever had. I liked them so much I'd probably order them myself instead of just trying my husband's order occasionally. Their General Tso's tastes like it were made by the General himself. I don't normally order seafood at restaurants unless they are, well, a good seafood restaurant, because I'm super picky. But my husband ordered the Dragon Phoenix, so I tried one of the shrimp. OMG YALL. These shrimp are the best - succulent if I say so myself. I don't know what kind of wizardry you guys are doing over there at China Spring, but how can a restaurant 30 MINUTES AWAY, still deliver HOT food?! Another thing about China Spring is its consistency. We've ordered twice so far and both times it was 5-star quality food! No hit and miss with this amazing place. I'm almost done, I promise. I have to highlight the amount of food they give you. The last time we ordered, it consisted of 3 combo platters, Wonton soup, and dumplings. This amount lasted us 8 MEALS. Yes, EIGHT. Quality and Quantity!! Now for China Springs highest compliment... My husband is a chronic complainer... He has only said amazing things about their food. I asked him to summarize his thoughts in 3 words, he said, "Amazing Chinese Food." Y'all.. He doesn't even think I'm that amazing and I'm his wife.

    This used to be the best place around for Chinese food and after a couple of disappointing meals a…read morefew years ago we tried a new place that isn't as convenient. Well today I decided to give them a try again and while it wasn't bad is definitely wasn't great. My general tso chicken was reasonably tasty but the chicken was so tough and stringy I will be flossing chicken from between my teeth for hours. Not sure if was just way over cooked, freezer burned or both but either way it was not good. Definitely a take out place thought they do have a few tables in there. Summary: disappointed and won't be back anytime soon.

I completely forgot this used to by my family's favorite Chinese restaurant. Luckily, it's near my job and after hearing coworkers mention it, I brought a group here. Also, my parents still come here so we got take out another day. Mom loves the Empress Shrimp here but they automatically add something that makes it a little spicy that makes it too spicy for her. So she has to be sure to tell them no spice. I have tried it with and without spice and it's fantastic either way though I definitely prefer with spice (it wasn't spicy to me, just more flavorful). I'm addicted to the shrimp rolls and steamed dumplings so I gotta get those every time I come here. The egg drop soup is good here as well.
