This place used to be good; then got lousy; and is back tasting good again. A fair amount of variety on this buffet. And the dishes are all good to pretty good...with a couple being very good. All and all...a decent value for the money and all you can eat... read more

Shanghai Buffet - Peppers and Beef, Curry Chicken, and fried rice! - Buffets Near Me - Nixa, Missouri

This place has been a local staple for years. It's rundown and needs a fresh update. However, it's kind of just what I've come to expect there. If you don't like a buffet and all that they are....visit their drive thru and everything you order will be made fresh. I will mention that it was 1:30 when we arrived and I did see them bring out 3-4 new fresh dishes while we were there. read more

The food is just ok. I have been there on several occasions and the buffet has been empty and you have to wait for food to come out. Still, probably the best Chinese food in Nixa. read more

Great food. It is a buffet. However, it is always clean inside. Good tastes great. The owners are always friendly.

Food was very good! We almost passed because of the reviews but were pleasantly surprised. They had a decent selection and the food was hot, the place clean. We will come back. read more

Shanghai Buffet - Broccoli Beef, potstickers, cashew chicken.They have sweet and sour chicken, fried wings, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, spring rolls - Buffets Near Me - Nixa, Missouri

They have a policy that I think all customers should be aware of, if they mess up on your order and give you the wrong thing they will request for that item to be returned to them. 99% of other restaurants do not do this because it is a health hazard and can get people sick. Does this mean that they put it back into the buffet or do they just put it in a warmer and give it to another person that orders that same item? Irregardless it is disgusting and after learning this, I will not be returning, I get enough food poisoning from the food and this area and now I have an idea why read more

Don't walk RUN from this place, they are charging people double on their debit/ credit cards. Ate there Wednesday was charged our 2 adult buffet price. 34. An change ,checked our online statement there were 2 additional charges for 31.50 place owes us 63.00. Says computer glitch from July to October. Lies account was charged an money paid for July an October. They are keeping your debit/ credit cards on file . This is fraud ,,scamming the people. Owner would not refund the 63.00 that he stole from our account. Didnt want to give any stars but had to so i give 1,​ read more

I am very critical and will judge a place based on their cashew chicken. This is the best cashew chicken around. Hands down.

Don't do it. Very poor food. I would compare it to a school cafeteria, unfortunately. Friendly service, though. Good was not fresh and very bland. Ambiance was like you expect. read more

Perhaps the best Nixa has to offer in Chinese but that's not saying much. I always order fresh off the menu rather than buffet. I ask them to prepare it fresh to order & not to plate off the buffet. Friendly staff. No ambiance with make shift storage area within the dining area. But if you are staying in Nixa, this is better than the other 2 Chinese places i can think of. Either choose drive through or carry out for your best option so you can enjoy eating in your own gorgeous home! read more

It was ok at best. The fried chicken chunks tasted freezer burnt and the restaurant had a musty smell to it even though it had not rained in weeks. If you are looking to sustain life it will do the trick. read more

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE! The buffett was a wreck, there isn't much of a variety, and on the sign it says HUGE BUFFETT. The place was dirty. It deserves ZERO star rating. The price for 2 was 20$ and some change. The food quality and taste was piss poor. *^*WE DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PLACE*^* read more

Fantastic food the best in the area sweet-and-sour shrimp is fantastic the buffet is wonderful

Absolutely the rudest people I have ever encountered in the service industry. Don't your time or money here!

Terrible place. Rude staff and food was below par. Cleanliness in restaurant is deplorable. Eat here at your own risk! Much better options even in the same intersection. You know it's bad when Taco Bell is a better run establishment. read more

Definitely not my first choice for chinese in Nixa. If you go at non-peak hours (lunch-dinner) the food is not good. The price is pretty reasonable and the mongolian grill is a nice touch. The drive thru always takes forever but if you call ahead thats not really a problem. read more

Every family needs a go-to place for inexpensive Chinese food in their neighborhood. This is our spot. The two of us can grab a fast and tasty dinner for less than $10 (can't say that about fast food burgers anymore). Hubby typically gets the Springfield cashew with sauce on the side (chicky stays crunchy that way) and I get Kung Pao chicken. The drive-thru line is always long but moves fast. The staff are often rushed but never rude. read more

Just awful! Is there a negative number to give? Cold, old food on the buffet at 7 pm the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Dirty floors and kitchen. Took forever for the Mongolian BBQ. read more

Ordered delivery. The wrong order arrived. I called and they argued with me about the order. They then said I needed to bring the order to them to show it was wrong and then they would remake it. Ordered 5 meals-1 was correct. So I loaded up 4 kids and drove my meals in for them to trade out. Ugh. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant in the entire Springfield area! I've noticed a lot of reviews are critical regarding the buffet - if you want to get a sense of this restaurant order from the menu we always order from the menu in the food is amazing the portions are correct it's incredible. I am hot and sour soup enthusiast and this is this is my favorite hot and sour soup in the entire state of Missouri! If you've never had scallion chicken it's a must-try. We lived in next to the first couple of years we were in this area then we move to Central Springfield we still regularly make the drive to Nixa just for Shanghai Buffet read more

My mom and I visit some times on Saturdays around 11:00 am. Buffet is all prepped and ready to go. Mom is pleased with the buffet. I order a child size cashew chicken snd find it filling and good. They do not take Discover card. Only MasterCard and Visa. read more

My wife and I just moved here to Nixa from San Diego and this buffet was superior to those we had available to us there. Everything was delicious and fresh! Service was outstanding. We will definitely be back often! read more

It's pretty terrible. None of the food was very good. Flavors were tasteless, soup was lukewarm at best. Didn't try the Mongolian so I can't say for that but the buffet was not good. There are much better Chinese buffets around. read more

Most of the stuff was the regular mediocre Chinese buffet fare. But the rancid cashews are still fouling my taste buds. The rest of my group liked everything well enough and one son liked the Mongolian BBQ. They enjoyed the ice cream machine the most. Not much else to recommend it in my opinion. read more

Drive thru. Lots of food for a reasonable price. A large drink means 32 oz not 20. Will definitely come again and eat inside

The food on the buffet was gross and old. I got a buffet togo and got home a and was unable to eat most of it. I called to complain and got hung up on the first time and told it was not their fault they food was bad on the bar and I should of picked something different. How am I suppose to know what's fresh. I shouldn't of went there anyway. I have seen them just add a couple new pieces too old food to make it look like they just put a fresh pan out but the don't they just leave the old stuff seating in the pan and never get rid of it hoping someone eats it so they don't have to throw it away. I will never be going back to eat here with my family. read more

Terrible food, went to the drive-through and got it home and didn't even eat my dinner. Better off getting a box pizza.

Terrible. Food seemed tasteless there is a lot better Chinese food around within driving distance. I feel it is some of the worse I've had. Staff was friendly, just the food is the problem. I recommend if you see this place move on. read more

Ok. So. We've had some really dripping greasy egg fu yung and we've had some delicious egg rolls. This restaurant is very close to home but not our favorite place ever. So. We keep eating here but we've had better. I'm on my way to get fried rice and egg rolls but we'll never have the egg fu yung again. read more

It's a good place love the service would go there again. But the food was under cook and when I was there a saw someone put the buffet food in a to go box and give to the person in the drave in good but bad bathrooms where so bad plz clean them. I still love u guys that work there read more

I have now stopped here a few times for to go orders which have always been wonderful and went there for the buffet last weekend. The selection is not as diverse as some restaurants, but the food is great and kept very hot which my wife loved! Their Mongolian grill was also excellent. As far as service, it was very good. read more

I would give this place a -2 stars if I could. When my husband and I got there after being seated and ordering our drinks, we went to go wash our hands and the bathrooms were discussing and not stocked at all. There was dirt caked on the paper towel dispensers and the paper towel dispenser was jammed. After washing my hands again, I also noticed that the soap was almost out, there was no toilet paper and the trash was almost overflowing. So i told two of the ladies that work that there wasn't any toilet paper in the women's bathroom, and one of them replied "okay" and didn't bother to fix it. My husband and I started making our plates and I noticed the floor was a little slippery in sopts, some of the dishes had food still stuck to them, and that the food was dried out and not fresh. What food there was that there was barely stocked, and didn't look good at all. My husband ended up slipping on greasy spot on the floor and his plate went everywhere, he got up on his own just fine but after that we were just done with the place, and we left. This place is definitely not up to the Missouri health code, and should be reevaluated. Eat there at your own risk. read more

This is by far my favorite Chinese restaurant around! Food is wonderful, crab Rangoon delicious, and the owners are very friendly.

We have 5 kids and visit here often. They are fairly priced and the food is normally very good. They make an effort to inter act with our children and know my boyfriend's and my drinks. read more

Best fried rice and crab rangoon in the area. Reasonable prices. Only have picked up never eaten in the restaurant. Everything very fresh and hot. read more

I went to the drive thru for lunch. They told me to pull to the side and they'd bring it soon. 15 mins later I went to ask where it was. When I checked it, I saw the bag was dripping. One of the containers had spilled and made a huge mess, and when I complained, the server tried to blame me! The food was terrible. My pork egg foo yung looked and tasted like a soggy veggie burger! It was under-cooked on one side and burnt on the other. Plus they gave me plain rice instead of the fried rice I ordered. Horrible place! read more

Ate on a Tuesday night. Food tasted great but wasn't real hot. Mongolian BBQ was good and hot. Saw a live roach near Mongolian bar.
