Fried rice was yellow rice with some onions, very sad rice with no flavor at all. Hardly traditional fried rice. Was given a 25 minute estimate. Got there at 20 minutes and waited almost 30 more for my order. The huge tub of brown gravy they give you is ridiculously large for the amount needed for the entree and scalding hot temperature. The container it comes in has a lid that is impossible to remove without spilling the full sauce all over. There are no sauce packets out for you to grab like most Chinese take out places have and when the bag was handed to me all sealed up I assumed (wrongly) that they had thrown some sauces in. My bad for assuming. They did throw fortune cookies in. Ugly: The General Tso chicken was inedible. The unrecognizable chunks of "chicken" were so stringy and tough and full of cartridge more than half of them could not be eaten and had to be spit out. The sauce also had no heat (menu shows a spicy symbol) and really no flavor like traditional General Chicken you would expect. Our total order exceeded the amount ($21 before tax) listed on the menu for 3 free crab rangoon which I asked for when I ordered. When I got there they charged me for the rangoon but I didn't notice that until I got home. This is our 3rd disappointing visit in a row. I realize it's the only Chinese in town and everyone in Bethalto loves it but it's really sad that it doesn't live up to the hype.

I really wanted to leave a great review for this place. I ordered beef and vegetables, and it was…read moredelicious. I enjoyed every bite. I also ordered crab rangoon and it was, by far, the worst I've ever had. The crab rangoon was clearly made sometime in the past and then re-fried. I don't like to complain, but they were pretty disgusting. After a couple of bites I offered it to my dog, and he didn't even want it. No huge deal, I thought. Just order an entree and not the crab next time. Until I woke up the next morning with uncontrollable food poisoning out of both ends, if you know what I mean. I have to wonder if they only make food once per day and let it sit all day long, and then only heat it up when they get an order. I don't know. All I do know is that despite the entree being delicious, I'm never going to order from them again because I am sure the food poisoning was from that meal and I really don't want to go through that again.

Absolutely a complete waste of money the food taste like it was cooked days ago they over charged (…read moreonly by a few dollars but still that's theft) their worker had some kind of allergy or infection and is making gross sounds with their nose.

Won't be coming back here again.

Dined here with a small group from church around 11 am. I personally had not been to the Chinese…read moreBuffet since Covid began, nearly 7 years ago now, believe it or not. However, I remember it as being a decent place to dine with a good amount of selection and fair prices. Upon entering, I was quite surprised to see that their pricing was still reasonable, however I didn't understand the upcharge for Sunday vs. the weekly buffet price as nothing on that Sunday buffet reflected an upcharge type dish in the slightest. Upon my first trip up to the buffet, I was a bit surprised to see that literally not one item on that buffet had changed in the past 7 years. I guess any kind of variety is out with this place or they don't know how to prepare anything else. At 11 am with a very light crowd present, all of the food was cold, completely unacceptatble having only opened at 10:30 am! Honestly I think the General Tso was the only item I had that was luke warm besides my bowl of soup. Many of the buffet dishes appeared to be leftover from the previous evening - - a good cook can tell what's fresh vs. leftover. The crab ragoons were tough and chewy a telltale sign of having been reheated. The egg rolls appeared to be refried as they were exceptionally dark brown in color. Literally no one was touching them either. The "fresh" seasoned green beans were all shriveled up. The lo mein noodles were swollen, having clearly soaked up all the juices/sauce from being stored and re-served. I think you get the picture here. I guess one might get food that is fresh and warm after all the leftovers have been eaten up by the victims dining at opening time. Good luck with your experience. Also, this place is exceptionally dirty and ran down with black mold on the walls and ceiling. It desperately needs a coat of paint, some new ceiling tiles, flooring, and lighting upgrades. . . fairly inexpensive upgrades and things you think would have changed somewhere along the way in the past 7 years since my last visit.

Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the service. The portions were disappointing for the price, especially considering our total bill. The lo mein had an off flavor that reminded me of a dirty wok or old cooking oil, and neither dish met our expectations. I genuinely wanted to like this place because the people were so nice, but the food quality and overall value just weren't there for us. I hope they take this as constructive feedback because the customer service was the best part of the experience.
