    Good food
    Mancogokartrider ..

    Pretty clean and decent food and drinks. Service on the other hand needs major improvement. Don't bother trying to use a coupon that Yelp says it's able to be redeemed here. At check out, the Chinese people play like they don't understand and won't take your coupon. Then they will not let you have a drink to go without charging, even though they tell you, the drink is included with the buffet price. We won't be back.

    Cockroach under the table, disgusting

    We loved this place, absolutely became our go to. Went to celebrate our son's 10th birthday only to set our plates on the table and have a cockroach run between them. Absolutely disgusting. That is a sign of an unsanitary place. Told a lady, who told another lady who came to our table with our bill in her hand, mind you we had only eaten a few bites. She asked what it was and I shower her this picture from under the table of the roach. She said they have a pest control company, and that I still had to pay from our drinks. I said fine just to get the hell out of there. All in all, that was horrible. Manager was called who said I didn't need to pay for anything, after I already had, and then said he would give me a gift certificate I said no thank you, put that money toward a better pest control company or cleaning supplies to not ruin another family's evening. I doubt we will ever be back, that is seriously disgusting.

    Receipt

    The food was not fresh, I did the buffet it was at 350 the charged me for a dinner it was 16.99 for just a dinner buffet and a water. I asked why the price was high and why I was charged a dinner and they said dinner started at 350 and I came in at 352. They don't post prices or what time they consider lunch or dinner. Expect to pay whatever they want to charge. Also I advice taking cash. Have had twice were they overcharged me and added extra to the bill after I left. Don't expect to get fresh hot food.

    Found in food, spit out blood from almost swallowing the metal piece.

    Last night I ordered a combination of pepper steak to go. When I got home, I took a bite and proceeded to choke on something; it was extremely painful. When I pulled it out I realized it was a piece of a foreign metal. I proceeded to eat another piece and quickly realized there was a thin piece of wood (a splinter of sorts?). Pictured below are the foreign particles I found in my food. Since it was too late to call as the establishment was closed, I waited til' the morning to go in person and show them, being that those foreign particles would have been extremely dangerous if swallowed. I spoke to the assistant manager who put me on the phone with the owner. After explaining my situation he proceeded to say that "maybe it came from the place where I was eating the food". I am only posting because the food is unsafe to eat and someone may not be as careful as I was while eating this, which could end up causing more harm. Be careful eating here.

    Overall: I would say this place is about 3.5 stars, but Yelp doesn't give that option! This is a smaller town and this buffet is pretty large. I've been to bigger towns/cities with less choices. They have the standard options with extras!! They have white rice and fried rice. They also have the fried chicken wings/drum sticks to chicken on a stick! They have the fruit bar to the dessert bar. Oooooh! Ice cream, too. The BONUS part is the sushi bar. There's someone making it to keep it stocked. They also have soup!! Basically, this is a buffet with decent food. Not fantastic gourmet food but good. It's not terrible. I see bad reviews on here. This is a really cheap place to have ALL YOU CAN EAT!! You cannot go eat anywhere else this cheap and be bottomless!! This place is probably going to have an off day here and there. No one is perfect. Oooooh! They also have hot pepper oil mix if you need to add that SPICE to your meal!! Minus one star for not wanting to seat us towards the front! Plenty of room in front. We had our elderly parents with us and mom is a heart patient and a cancer survivor!! We would have appreciated better seating. We were put in the farthest back corner. Quite the hike for the elderly.

    Normal average Chinese buffet. Food was always fresh and warm. Kind of busy the times we went.

    As a poor college student I loved this place. It was greasy, consistent and satisfying.

    We loved this place! We had been biking all day on the Katy Trail, and were looking for a place to…read moregrab some dinner on the way home. Much to our dismay, we had forgotten our bike locks, and didn't feel comfortable leaving them on the rack in the parking lot while we went inside to eat. We discovered that everything on the buffet was available to go, purchased by the pound. So we each filled a container, paid for a bottle of water, and ate some of our food in the parking lot before starting to drive back to Kansas City. Between the two of us, we tried several items and all were delicious! I had the General's chicken, an egg roll, crab Rangoon, and a couple of other things. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. Highly recommend. Almost to the point of making the hour plus drive just to eat there.

    There are not enough words in the English language to describe how absolutely terrible this place…read moretruly is! I honestly don't know how it stays open. It is located in an extremely old building with nothing but potholes for a parking lot. When you go in you immediately get a sense of dread because it is a very enclosed, claustrophobic space. But if you are adventurous enough to order food, the fun really begins. I have eaten in several Chinese restaurants but I have never encountered any food like this place. It really is just very ill prepared garbage that looks unappealing and tastes worse. I didn't see the kitchen and I'm sure I would be appalled by it if I did. The bottom line is just save your money and drive to a real Chinese restaurant. This is NOT one.

    I'm from out of town but was born and raised in Marshall, where my parents live. Every time I visit…read morewe go out to eat and I have to say, coming from a big city, the options are limited. A while ago I decided to surprise mom and dad with take out when they got home from church. OMG! It was so so good! It didn't just rival the restaurants that I have visited in the city but far exceeded most. I will have to say that we've been to other restaurants with the same cuisine in Marshall that were truly bad... I mean, avoid at all cost bad. Well, the other day I visited mom and dad again and we decided to go to China Inn. It's small and nothing fancy like the restaurants that I'm used to visiting in the city. However, the service amazed me. I like hot and spicy... really hot and spicy. I asked if they could make it really hot and she understood. Just as anywhere I've been, when they brought the food it wasn't spicy enough for me. Don't get me wrong, it was way too spicy/hot for mom and dad but I've developed a tolerance that mom and dad don't have. All the same, the waitress brought out a little bowl with their hot sauce without me asking for it and told me that she could bring more if I wanted. I was stunned to say the least. I'm not used to this "hometown" treatment. My only con is that is that I live so far away. I did leave the best for last. The Garlic Shrimp that I ordered was absolutely amazing! They didn't skimp on anything as so many others do. The veggies were fresh and there was way more shrimp than I expected. It was so good! In conclusion, I plan on stopping by China Inn every time I come to Marshall and ordering takeout to bring a little of Marshall home with me.
