    Why did I not go here sooner? I have driven by this place a million times and never thought to stop…read morein. I did, and I was not disappointed. They have so many options. They have a Mongolian BBQ, sushi (that is not half bad), an assortment of Chinese food, and other random things like pizza and cake. The vibe to me reminded me of Las Vegas. Not sure if this a good thing or a bad thing, but when leaving I could totally imagine stepping out onto the strip. Not sure how else to label the vibe, this is the best I can do. Anyway, I will need to go back and I will be prepared next time. Tons of great seafood, but also tons of great non-seafood options. The server was attentive and kept our drinks full and empty plates cleared. The price was not bad. Under $60 for two of us. I want to call this place a gem. I had no idea what I had been driving by all of these years. I will be back, and I will likely be a regular.

    My son and I went here on Sunday afternoon and it was very busy. I seldom visit all you can eat…read morebuffets but this was a place my son wanted to eat at. My first plate was small portions of many proteins and most of them were okay. I enjoyed the jalapeño chicken, pineapple chicken and fried catfish the most. There was a section for Mongolian.choices and a sushi section which my son partook of but I declined. There is a section with desserts and fresh fruits. I stuck with the 2 sections which included fish, shrimp, chicken, pork and beef. In summation the experience was okay, a decent selection of food, a fair price and they kept the refreshments filled. My son loves Kings Buffet and sushi is in his wheel house but not mine but I would go back again to try other choices.

    I was in Cheyenne overnight and wanted to eat some rice and Asian food and heard that China Buffet…read morehad decent food. I came late in the afternoon and the place was already crowded. I asked for take out and was given a small cardboard take out container that was divided with 3 places for food. When I asked for take out, the guy at the counter handed me the container and told me "No steak!" What irritated me was that he watched me as I went through to get my food (the register is near the buffet line) as if I was going to try to sneak some steak into my plate. There was a good selection of food. I picked up a little of several items. Since I read the reviews, I added some General Tso's chicken. My mistake was that I saw some red jello in the salad bar and had a craving for jello, so added it to my plate. When I went to pay, the guy opened my container, just to make sure I didn't take steak. When I handed him the money, there was not a thank you or smile. When I got back to my hotel room, I opened the container and the jello had melted all over my food! I hardly ate anything, nothing really tasted good, except for the General Tso's chicken. Suggestion to the restaurant - offer a small container for jello or cold things. It can still fit inside the take out container, but would help to keep things from running together. If I do go back, I'll skip the jello and load up on the General Tso's chicken.

    Avoid This Buffet - A Sad Excuse for Chinese Food…read more I'm honestly struggling to find anything positive to say about my experience here. I've given buffets the benefit of the doubt before, but "China Buffet" was a new low. The entire meal felt like a lesson in disappointment. Let's start with the food quality, or lack thereof. Nothing tasted fresh. The eggrolls were limp and soggy, like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. The sweet and sour chicken and other fried items had completely lost their crunch, becoming a chewy, greasy mess. It's a cardinal sin for fried food to be soggy at a buffet. The issues didn't stop there. Several of the hot dishes, like the lo mein and a beef stir-fry, were barely lukewarm. Even more concerning, some of the meat items, particularly the pepper steak, had an "off" taste that made me think they were old and had been sitting out far too long. I took one bite and left the rest on my plate. My advice to the owner is simple: Focus on quality and freshness over quantity. It doesn't matter how many dishes you have if none of them are appetizing. The staff should be constantly checking the buffet lines--stirring food, replenishing items with fresh batches, and most importantly, throwing away food that has been sitting out for hours. Just because the restaurant was slow during my visit doesn't mean it's acceptable to serve old, unappetizing food. I really wanted to like this place, but I won't be returning. Save your money and your stomach; there are much better options out there. One last thing, get rid of your ice cream freezer, it looks like that's where you put all the dead body parts.

I went on a fairly busy Saturday night, hoping that would lead to a hot, fresh, well replenished experience. It didn't really result in that, sadly. Customer service was pleasant. The chefs were friendly and helpful and our server was great. I thought the iced tea and coffee were both delicious. Taco meat was quite tasty and I appreciated the cookies on the dessert bar were held at a warm temperature. Some things weren't refilled ever during our leisurely visit of 1 1/2 hours: Certain desserts, sides, salsas and accoutrements like chips at the Mexican bar. Each station seemed pretty lacking on variety. Some offerings were kind of lukewarm, like the fried shrimp and mashed potatoes. Would I return? Definitely not during a peak priced meal time. Maybe during lunch or something while visiting the casino. I love variety so I love buffets, even though quality does often lack. However, if you have visited buffets off and on, you learn that some have fresher, hotter, well stocked offerings and others don't. This one wasn't terrible but was pretty meh and disappointing over all. Also a note to this buffet's management. Wynn's buffet in Las Vegas is only $39.99 for a Saturday night. Yours was 34.99. Wynn also didn't have the widest variety but had quite a bit more than yours as well as fresher and gourmet offerings for just $5 more. I feel strongly that you could do better for this price point and I'm rooting for improvements!
