A friend and I ended up here on a Friday night after the place in Madison SD was closed. The food…read morewas hot and all the dishes were full! In my book, that makes for a positive buffet experience. They've been open for years (I used to go to SDSU and thought it was good back then) and I can see why it's still a local fav. Reasonable price with good options. The only downside is that some of the booths were in need of TLC and they use disposable plates/silverware. That doesn't bother me at all but some people may feel some type of way about it so just sharing that tidbit!

China Moon isn't necessarily a bad restaurant, but it could definitely improve. The restaurant…read moreitself has a cool vibe but it has a lot of issues, one person in my party was vegetarian and could only eat a little bit of the rice, noodles, and broccoli. My first issue is the menu, the lady will not let you order off the menu during buffet unless you're doing takeout, which to me makes no sense. Next the lady that is usually at the front isn't very pleasant, she doesn't greet you or respond when you say thank you because I was trying to be polite. I feel like she doesn't care how she treats the customers because it's the only Chinese restaurant within 30 miles.

We drove up to Madison on a Saturday evening to check this place out since Sioux Falls lacks…read moreChinese buffet options. It's a fairly small place with a very casual environment in downtown. They had about 12 entrees to choose from and another section of cold items (salad, fruit, etc) and 2 soups. You pay at the back of the restaurant before helping yourself to the buffet and fountain drinks. The price was reasonable. Food was warm and overall decent--but I don't feel a strong need to return anytime soon (but it's also a 40 minute drive each way). May be a good takeout place if you live in the area.

This is my favorite chinese buffet of all the ones I've been to so far…read more It's just delicious, and always warm when I go. Prices are average for the lunch buffet, and slightly above average for the afternoon buffet. The food just has a fresh taste to it that the other buffets don't have to the same level even though the buffet itself has a relatively small selection. I particularly like that they carry tartar sauce for the breaded fish they have. Their crab rangoon (cream cheese wontons) are excellent as well. It's opened every day except Monday. Best time to go is at 11:15AM and again at 4:30PM like any chinese buffet. Seating is somewhat limited in this one.

I have mixed feelings about this place. If you are one of those unfortunate souls who has nothing…read morebetter to do but read all of my reviews, you know by now that poor interior lighting in restaurants is a pet peeve of mine. Waking into a dimly lit restaurant immediately colors my view of the place. I arrived around 7:30 and the sun was still out, yet it was rather dark inside this place. It took me a few minutes to figure out what the causes were. First, there were vertical blinds on the front windows that were partially closed (even though that side of the building was facing away from the sun). Second, the light bulbs in the light fixtures were recessed way too far up into their fixtures. The fixtures were designed for flood lamp style bulbs, but had old CFL bulbs designed for a lamp like you might have on an end table in your home. Switching to LED flood lamp type bulbs would greatly enhance the lighting, and the cost wouldn't be very much. The ceiling tiles had large water stains on them. I'm guessing this facility is leased and the owner is not maintaining the roof as they should be. I don't want to fault the restaurant proprietors for this, since it is likely out of their control. In spite of the poor lighting, the water damaged ceiling, and some torn spots in the wallpaper, the decorations hanging on the wall were very clean and free of dust. The buffet islands seemed nice enough, though there were some rope lights around the perimeter that were not functional. I found that a little odd. The dish labels were handwritten and while legible, did not always reflect what food was in the dish below it. On to the food. I tried the sesame chicken, and it was dry and chewy. The cream cheese rangoons were also dry. The white rice tasted good and fairly fresh, and the hot and sour soup was just the right mix of hot and sour. I tried some cookies and cream ice cream for dessert, and it was quite good. The glass of water I drank was wet and didn't smell or taste bad. I noticed that most of the buffet dishes seemed to be low on food. I suspect that this place sees a rush of business around 5:00 and that the food I had was the leftovers from that dinner rush. Overall, it wasn't terrible. As a person who travels a ton for work, I have encountered worse. But I do feel that the price was on the high side for the quality of the food. Dry, chewy chicken is a pretty negative thing to experience at a Chinese buffet. As a side note, Yelp recommends adding a comment about service. I'm not sure what to put for that. This is a buffet which is self service, even the drinks. The plates, glass, and silverware were all clean and plentiful, so I guess that counts as good service. The buffet islands didn't have spilled food all over them, which would indicate that the staff cleans them regularly. One of the employees was mopping the floor while I ate, which shows that they keep the floors clean. So, I would say for a self service buffet, the service was quite acceptable.

Unequivocally the worst Chinese food we've eaten. We ordered delivery to our hotel and it did…read morearrive fresh and steaming hot. The sweet & sour chicken and sweet & sour shrimp were separate from the sauce, but there were puddles of oil in the bottom of the foil pan. The oil they were fried in tasted old and left a greasy feel and taste in my mouth well after the meal was thrown away. Breading on the chicken was extremely thick and doughy- we were pulling it off. The chicken seemed to be precooked prior to breading? I dunno, it wasn't good. The shrimp breading was light and crisp, but the oil taste was overpowering. The white rice was mushy. Most disappointing of all was the order of 10 crab Rangoon. Rather than a cream cheese filling, they had what I believe was a pork dumpling filling- it was gray, firm, and meat based, whatever it was, which wasn't good. None of us finished our meal and it was thrown away. :(

This is hands down my new favorite restaurant in Brookings. I wish I could remember the name of the dish I ordered, because it was easily one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Absolutely 10 out of 10. Everything about it just hit right. Flavor, presentation, portion size, all of it. The waitstaff was incredible. Super helpful, knowledgeable, and just genuinely great to deal with. You can tell they know the menu and actually care about the experience. For the record, I have zero connection to the owners or staff. Nobody asked me to write this. They just earned a genuinely glowing review. I'm already looking forward to coming back and bringing my wife here again soon.
