My daughter really wanted to try this place out. After working in a Plainview restaurant for 2…read moreyears, not once were we visited by a city health inspector, so I can be picky. You should be, too, considering all of these restaurant owners in Plainview do not have a city liability system to follow. Most do a pretty damn good job considering! Well, my first impression was not great. The front glass door was just gross. I shrugged it off, maybe they've been busy. We sat down and the ladies who waited on us were nice enough. They are the only reason I am giving them the one star as they were sweet and helpful. But, I immediately noticed that the decorative glass around the restaurant was covered in fingerprints, food, probably boogers. Yes! Probably, this place has not been cleaned in so long y'all!! It's very dimly lit. But, if you take a moment to *really* look around, there's cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, food splatters on everything. It's hidden pretty well with the brownish/orangy faux marble wallpaper. The floor hadn't been swept/mopped in ages. I was immediately ICKED OUT!! Guys, if this is what the customers see, what in the world does that kitchen look like?!? We went and got some food from the buffet. My daughter thought the food was the best thing ever, so I'll give them that. She ate everything deep-fried bc she's 10 lol. I avoided meat and seafood at all costs. Food in a buffet is supposed to be out no longer than 4 hours, but that's *if and only if* it's being kept at a certain temperature. With the way the restaurant looked, I absolutely did not trust that they were following safe food-handling procedures. My stomach turned the whole time. I really could not enjoy the food. This is by-far the filthiest restaurant I've ever been to. I'm sure there's worse, but this was my worst. Every time there was a spare moment, the girls were on their phones. That's pretty typical these days and doesn't bother me, they weren't busy. But given the nasty appearance of the place, there was PLENTY to do.

It's the best of the two in plainview. Food good enough and affordable. I like the bread shrimp and…read morethe sweet souffles

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.

First time and last time. Food was amazing ! Service from the server was good. The lady charging…read morewanted to charge me for my 10 year old daughter and niece as adults. If they were both over 10, I would've paid and call it a day. Height doesn't define the age of a kid. And birth certificates shouldn't be asked for to confirm the age, that's ridiculous. Who carries birth certificates to go eat.
