Seriously the best restaurant in Portales - and I'm not just saying that because I miss Chinese…read morefood (okay, maybe just a tiny bit). But honestly, the food that is served here is pretty high quality and definitely tops the Chinese buffets back in LA both pricewise and tastewise. Because there aren't any stores that sell Asian produce, I went a few weeks without legit Chinese food before finding Hong Kong Super Buffet. The lunch buffet is only about $7 and the dinner buffet cost is a dollar or two more - and this includes soda! You're also able to get to-go where you can stuff a to-go box filled with as much food as you want. While the customers primarily eat from the AYCE buffet, they do have a menu where you can order more traditional Chinese dishes (fried rice, noodles, etc.) but very rarely did I see customers do that. The buffet includes dishes such as salmon, fried chicken with peanut butter, sushi, kimchi, broccoli and beef, shrimp, meatballs, fried chicken, squid, picked vegetables - an assortment of items from Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and American cuisines. Something for everybody pretty much. They also have Blue Bunny self-scoop ice cream (the legitimate ice cream instead of the soft serve that Souplantation and all the other buffets have nowadays). Along with cookies, pudding, jello, fried donuts ... you're going to leave feeling happy and full. My favorite items - squid, imitation crab meat and vegetables, garlic bread, mushrooms (so good!), and the honey chicken. So much better than Panda Express - the sauce and the coating on the chicken are cooked perfectly, and when you bite into the chicken, you still get enough white meat to know that you're eating real chicken. The hot and sour soup was also a favorite of mine. The owners and workers here are all super friendly and really, really nice. Since Portales isn't that big of a city, everybody really does recognize you after one or two visits. When they were out of honey chicken, the owner automatically went to the kitchen to get some more! Lots of tables available and this place is definitely always busy with customers coming and going. tl;dr - Who knew that the best Chinese AYCE buffet is located in Portales? Better than the ones in LA for sure! Highly recommend giving it a try if you're craving Chinese food or you don't know what to eat. Prices are affordable, service is super friendly, and assortment of food is pretty widespread.

General Review: Time…read moreof dining: 1:00PM on Friday, May 24th Food Review: I tried a bite of everything in the restaurant. The fish and shrimp dishes taste very off. All meat was cold. Heating appliance might be broken, repair or replacement is needed. I do not recommend anything that has to do with meat of any kind here. The fruit they served was old, despite me arriving an hour after opening. The broccoli was fine in a dish, though I like cold / luke-warm broccoli, so I do not mind personally. Noodles had too much oil for my taste, but that's to be expected, thus they were the best dish in the house. I have had to actively spit out about 25% of the food, for safety reasons. Service Review: Service was fine. Do not order water as a drink here. It is tap, and tap water in this area can make you throw up if you aren't used to it. I puked in my mouth myself, I wish I requested soda. They took our plates twice, which is a good rate of service since we had about 2.5 plates each. No words are spoken other than a thank you. No greetings were available to us. Atmosphere Review: The vibe was extremely judgmental for some reason. I was constantly getting stares from other people, no one had a sense of class or peace of mind. There was constant stress in the air from both staff and dining customers. There is no thought in general aesthetic here, you are better off getting food from a food truck, at least it will taste better, and be better feeling in general. - Notes: After coming home, I was struck with very bad food illness. It has lasted till even today. If it continues for 2 days longer, I will be suing. At least at the date I have given, I would not recommend feeding your children this food, as I'm deeming it unsafe and risky. I have travelled all over the United States of America over the past 10 years, and this has been one of the worst. I'm a large Asian cuisine fan, but I would rather have American School meatloaf than this. The price is cheap if you are sitting in. It is cheap for a reason. My advice: Save your money and respect yourself more as a person. You will be paying for the food, as well as medicine to recover from the meal. Go somewhere else please. Traveling 30 miles by car will be more worth it than this. Trust me.

I called in to place my order and the lady over the phone was super nice and helpful. She even called me back when my order was really to be picked up. The inside feels like you stepped into an old Chinese restaurant in Chinatown back in the 90s. It was quiet with not a lot of people. The lady who took my order said the place has been here for over 35 years. We just ordered a broccoli beef dish with steamed white rice, and a chicken lo mein. She also gave us some fortune cookies, as well as paper plates, chopsticks, and plastic utensils since she knew we were taking it back to eat in the hotel. The food itself was not that great. The chicken lo mein was OK and there was very little meat or cabbage. But the broccoli beef was drenched in sauce that I needed a lot more rice to balance out the sauce.
