The Wanton Soup was great for the price! We paid up front and they brought us our food. The restaurant had typical Chinese restaurant seating. Water was self served. read more

Tsao's Cuisine - Beef Lo Mein (?) - Chinese Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

See all

Spent 70.00 for 3 meals and 3 appetizers. They used to be generous with portions. Not anymore. Dumplings used to have meat in them. Not anymore. Crab Rangoon used to be amazing. Unfortunately, now it is just ok. The Buffett may be better when they have it, but you can spend 70.00 dollars at almost any other Chinese restaurant and get a ton of food. A large sweet n sour chicken seemed more like buying a value kids meal, and left me less than satisfied . The people are always angry looking, and annoyed at me for bringing my business. I'll be trying to find a better choice in the area. There is an abundance of Chinese restaurants near me. read more

Lo mein = spaghetti Moo shu pancakes = flour tortillas Was asked "whats wrong with me" when i wanted a refund. Apparently i was supposed to magically know that if i order through THEIR WEBSITE and pick it up myself...i have to call doordash for a refund? (It says all of NOWHERE on the website it is hosted by doordash.) Drove 15 mins back to get my 50$ refund. I understand needing to use substitutions, but when I order lo mein, I do not expect spaghetti pasta, and under no circumstances did I expect to see store bought flour tortillas in my chinese food order. I WIIIISH i had taken pictures-more so for reddit than here. read more

Very good food still (I used to order take out but ate in). The lunch buffet is a recommend and a come back for me read more

came to the buffet at 12:45. Everything was out of stock. They never restocked any of it hardly their buffet ends at two! there was literally not much to eat. They had no rice, no pepper steak no crab Rangoon's no anything everything was just out and they would bring a bowl of rice out and then you'd have to wait so you have to sit there and wait to see if they're gonna even bring anything out not good That being said whenever I order takeout, it's always amazing ! read more

This is a super solid spot for American Chinese food. The buffet, if I remember is about 11-12 dollars for all you can eat. The food always comes out and they make an effort to make sure each of the buffet options is always available. Each of the dishes is pretty good quality. Some are better than others. I liked some of the crispy fish, the orange chicken, and the chicken skewers. They are able to make sure the food stays hot, and crispy. So this food isn't particularly healthy, but I think it's never too-greasy or too overwhelming, so you can eat a lot here. The service is fast - its a buffet. read more

Best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to! The food was all delicious and so fresh. This truly tastes like authentic Chinese cuisine.

Fab Chinese food, piping hot and delicious, served super fast too. This is a win in a sea of mediocre options in suburbia. Hit them up! (This is Americanized Chinese food, obviously, if you don't know what that means, don't worry about it, it won't impact you) read more

Tsao's Cuisine - 53. General Tsao's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

The lunch buffet was outstanding. It is a smaller buffet but the staff refill the dishes regularly. This was the freshest buffet in Dayton. The restaurant is decorated with Chinese fare. It is self service and self bussing of tables. Go early because they stop refilling the buffet around 1:30. They do not do a dinner buffet. Go for a quick lunch at the best Chinese buffet in Dayton. read more

We ordered take out and it is amazing! Loved the Orange Chicken and Crab Rangoon! Will definitely come back and order again in the future!

Absolutely the best buffet for lunch. NOT all chicken dishes. Pork, beef, shrimp! lots of veggies. As I write this the price is $11.50. Even the tea is very nice. All drinks are extra. It's self serve including bussing your own dishes. Remember to drop a tip in the jar - these folks WORK HARD and take pride in food. Not a date night place. read more

Lunch Buffet Review: Without a doubt, I can't imagine it gets any better than this. $7 for a lunch buffet is unheard of for me. Then again I'm used to Washington DC prices. Regardless, it's a rare find for me. Service: The guy at the register was polite and patient. Food: Some of the food was salty but overall really surprised at how good the food was for the price point. Food was supplied in small batches so it doesn't taste like it's been sitting out all day. I arrived at around 1pm on a Thursday so it wasn't busy. read more

Tsao's Cuisine - The lunch buffet. Only $7 and change. What a deal! - Chinese Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

Great lunch deal for $5.50-5.95 you get a main dish, tons of fried rice and a crab rangoon. Food was hot, tasty and service attentive. We'll be back! read more

We had a Delivery while in Ohio- was Delicious! We found on yelp! Definitely would have again!

The food is amazing!!! The service is great!! I usually get take out so I can't speak on the ambiance, but I would sit in and eat!! Chicken with Broccoli, Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Orange Chicken, and Sesame Chicken!! All we get is yummy!! read more

Food is good. Service lousy - no one answers the phone and no way to order for pickoup. Ambiance so so - nothing special

Great little family business. The food is always excellent. The place is always very clean. The prices are very reasonable. What else could you ask for? read more

This is a pretty decent Chinese restaurant! You can't go wrong. Everything is usually hot and made fresh to order. I have never had a problem with our order. We've had the orange chicken, sesame chicken, and general Tsao's. Their egg rolls are also very tasty, and I do like their crab Rangoons but I believe they are mostly cheese. read more

Not bad, but not the best Chinese I've ever had. Sometimes the buffet is lacking. The location is convenient to the base. read more

Chicken and broccoli lunch special. No sauce, dry rice, gristly old chicken, undercooked broccoli. Beef Egg roll was crunchy/under cooked. Pick up was fast. Won't eat here again. read more

I'm not one to say that something is the very best ever. I am, however quick to point out when a business just gets so many things RIGHT. First and foremost: there is no gurgle stomach aches after eating Tsao's. That might sound tacky, but to me, that is very important. Second, Tsao's flavor and quality is totally on point. Two dishes that I strongly recommend: rock salt shrimp and Singapore Mei Fun noodles. Tsao's does not skimp on their shrimp-- a very generous portion. The key to this dish is the mingling of the jalapeños and garlic and salt of course. You receive white rice as well. I like to mix the rice in with the pile of shrimp. It gives the rice an amazing flavor and heat. It is important to spread the love around and give business to multiple Chinese restaurants. At the end of the day, however, exceptional flavor and quality win. read more

I haven't been here for their lunch buffet yet, but I usually order takeout from Tsao's Cusine. What I liked from this place were their crab rangoons. The rock salt shrimp seems to be a popular item on their menu based on the Yelp reviews, however when I had it I didn't like it too much. There is too much batter on the shrimp, so it was not that good. This place has limited parking, but it's never a problem when I go. I would come back to Tsao's for chinese food. read more

We arrived 55 minutes before close and were not welcomed at all. We left because they were upset that we got there at 8:05 and all they said was we close at nine and did not want to take our orders. We were really excited to try the food and unfortunately will not be going back. read more

Although, the inside appeared clean enough, it was definitely run down. Drinks come in a can. The fried rice was mediocre, at best. The entree wasn't bad. The man who took my order was not very helpful. I have had worse experiences, but I don't think I will eat here again. read more

Great customer service This was a pick up order. I wasn't impressed with the food. I ordered off an online menu that didn't really provide much detail so maybe all the reason I wasn't impressed were stated on the menu at the store. The pot stickers were fried but not pan fried like I had anticipated. The inside contents were still delicious just a completely different texture and item I was going for. The mei fun was curried and spicy which I wasn't expecting also. Wasn't a good day for spicy. Great portion sizes, overall great flavor just not the kind of flavor I'm looking for. read more

After reading about this restaurant on Yelp, my friend and I stopped by around 2:30 before making the return drive to Indianapolis after visiting Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum. Unfortunately, we were too late for the buffet. However, what we did order (soup, spring rolls. and crab rangoo) hit the spot. Prices were very reasonable and portions generous. Just wish I lived closer. This would be a go to spot. read more

I like cheap Chinese food. You like cheap Chinese food. But, Yelpers, let's pump the brakes on the 5 star reviews, m'kay? We're taking 2.5 (maybe 3 stars if you're feeling generous, which apparently I'm not). Sure, you can't beat the price for the lunch buffet, but 5 star food you're not gonna get. Many of the dishes are passable. The General Tsao's Chicken is popular, and while I like it, it's really far too sweet, which is a problem with a lot of their food. I like that they offer Szechuan wontons... an unusual and welcome offering, but the broth is over sweet and one dimensional, which bums me out. People kill the Salt and Pepper Shrimp ('cause deep fried shrimp is just hard to mess up and it's a buffet, so fill a damn plate, amirite?). The chicken skewer thing is pretty tasty. I'm ok with the Hot and Sour Soup, but I'm not down with their bland and snot-like version egg drop (don't say I didn't warn you). Don't get me wrong, I come here a lot, but the truth is that I can only like it for what it is: a cheap Chinese buffet. Keep your expectations low and you might be impressed enough to leave one of those undeserved 5 star reviews. ;-) read more

Overall this was pretty disappointing. I did some Yelp research for good fried rice in the area and settled on Tsao's. I like to get fried rice when I try new Asian places as it tends to be a good reliable dish that should be decently similar from place-to-place. I visited on Friday around 4pm to place a to-go order. The place was completely empty being that it was between lunch and dinner. I noticed that they had a buffet area but it is only available during lunch. You can eat the buffet there or take a self-served to-go box of buffet items. The typical setup is seat yourself in the good-sized dining area and the server will come to take your order at the table. The dining area was clean and comfortable. I walked up to the counter and placed an order for the full/dinner sized chicken fried rice and I requested it spicy. Less than 5 minutes later my order was packed and ready to go. I noticed they had some soy, mustard, and chopstick packs on a serving cart behind the counter so I assumed by bagged to-go order had those extras in it but it did not. The rice itself was a good portion. It was packed tightly in one of those square cardboard boxes. (FYI, it has a metal handle on it but it is microwave-safe). The rice plopped out of the box onto my plate and held it's form perfectly - I suppose this was because the rice ended up being undercooked, almost hard. There was no flavor and it was pretty dry. There were hardly any vegetables in it minus a few pieces of what was probably canned or frozed peas and carrots, plus a few bits of onion and one or two red chilies. The one positive about the rice was that it had a good amount of clean chicken pieces in it but the chicken was kinda chewy and didn't seem fresh. I wish I had grabbed some soy packets to try to add some flavor since they didn't include any in my to-go package. Oh well. Disappointing, at least from my experience with the fried rice. Perhaps the Lo Mein or a stir-fry would have been better. read more

This place is a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be, given its higher rating. Apparently, good things come in small packages. I missed the buffet, but the Mongolian chicken was light years beyond other places I've been to. The only place with faster service is some of the Mexican places around. I actually went for the buffet, but having ordered off of the menu, I think I may just stick with that! read more

BLUF: General Tsao's chicken combo plate is on point! Just traveling through Dayton, searching for new spots. My friend recommended Chinese so I literally played Russian roulette and ended up here. It's not far from WPAFB at all. I came into the restaurant and it wasn't too busy (prob because of the rain). I figured to order General Tsao's chicken plate since it's in the name of their restaurant lol. I regularly do not order that platter but I'm SO glad I did! The platter def hit the spot and made me wanting more! Quick service! Does not break the bank $! Highly recommend! read more

Tsao's Cuisine - General Tsao's Chicken Plate Combo! So delish! - Chinese Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

Went here for lunch and thought this place was just ok. Not many selections for a buffet, but what do you expect for $7.99. Most of their items seems to be on the sweeter end, but I think that's how most Chinese food are. Gave them 3 stars because their food taste and quality wasn't all that. If you're looking for a quick place to eat and one that wouldn't break the bank, then this is the place for you. read more

I come here every time I m at WPAFB. Under $10 gets you unlimited delicious food and a drink(during lunch hrs). Food quality is outstanding, there is nothing I have tried that I don't like. Vast choices, fast, clean place. Highly recommend it. read more

Tsao's Cuisine - Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

Great "hole in the wall" Chinese restaurant with nice size portions for their servings and great options. I love these places that make great food and it's become one of my favorite places to eat. The best food is definitely their rock salt shrimp which I haven't had before, but it's now one of my favorites with great flavor and texture. Their entrees are great to order if you're around the Air Force Base, but my favorite thing is their buffet which you can get to go or sit down and eat. read more

Update: April 1, 2011 I saw a Chinese grandma cooking the food - god, it's no wonder the food tastes so authentic and delicious. My Chinese husband mentioned that the food is mostly authentic, but a little bit Americanized to match the taste buds of Americans. I went back today for perhaps one of the last times I'll be visiting due to another military move, this time to Japan....and WOW!! Yet again, a fantastic and superb General Tso's Chicken (their best dish in my opinion)!! The crust was caramelized and sweetened (just right) to perfection. Hot, steaming (literally hot steam rising) and juicy chicken inside and not too much breading. I love this place. I will miss Fairborn for this one restaurant!! Note: By the way, if you're from the west coast looking for Chow Mein (the soft noodle kind like the ones at Panda Express or at the mall), you have to order the LO mein. The Chow Mein here is made with crispy noodles (a different kind of Chow Mein). read more

First time ordering from Tsao's Cuisine this evening. The food was good. Order came much quicker than expected, and the delivery person left it on the doorstep as requested. We've been wanting some Chinese food for a while, but the place we used to go to had a management change - and the new management wasn't what we hoped. But Tsao's Cuisine has a solid menu and is well on its way to becoming our new go-to Chinese food! Try it for yourself -- read more

A typical Americanized Chinese food place with lunch buffet and all the standard Americanized Chinese dishes. Ordered a Kung Pao trio (chicken, beef and shrimp) with rice for dinner. Portion size was huge and worth the price. Taste was standard. Wish they could have seasoned and chopped the peanuts a bit more. A OK place for quick meal anyway. read more
