Their coconut shrimp has changed my life! How can anything be that delicious???? I'm an hour and a half away I'll make the drive just for one. Just a single little shrimp. Actually big plump perfect shrimp. I love both of you! Wok AND roll!!! read more

Solid little Chinese buffet! Several options available, everything was decent- the wontons were 10/10!!! The peanut butter chicken was good, the seafood bake with cheese was cold and not good, the meat on a stick was great! The service was fast and easy for takeout boxes, and the price was very affordable. It looked a little old inside, but clean. We didn't get sick like some other reviewers, but we avoided anything that didn't look hot:) read more

Wow! Glad I stopped here! The assortment is incredible and everything tasted amazing!

Stop by here irregularly when we travel in the area. Buffet is always clean and the food is good and tasty. Spouse loves the Rangoon and the egg drop soup brings back great memories. read more

Great food good pricing service needs help,learn to interact with people not just okay thank you bye bye

unreal! Best food I've ever had. Orange pop from fountain so so so so good. Can't belive how good this was. 10/10 I'm having wok n roll cater my wedding read more

The staff is friendly. The food doesn't taste horrible, but we all left with a BAD stomach ache. I wouldn't go back.

It's located in a little strip mall, so there was plenty of open parking. A lot of great options but a few things were out like the chicken wings. Superman ice cream which was clutch, staff was quick to pick up plates. Also had sushi available too with spicy Mayo. Great experience off our first visit read more

The food was cold. And the shrimp and crayfish were brought out and my daughter went to get some and started eating and it was cold and under cooked. Went to get fruit and the orange cake had maybe 10 to 20 fruit flies on it. And the lemons were a brown/black color and the sushi look grayish. And the price for 3 kids was 50 some dollars and two adults was 34 dollars. Crazy to pay that price for that kind of food never again will go there read more

Avoid this place at all costs. Food is terrible, surprised it didn't make me ill. I had heard they had improved since my last visit five years ago, but no. Same. I will never be back. read more

The Wok N Roll is doing everything they can to "do it right" during these difficult times. Great, fresh food in the buffet, and it's safely presented. It's your typical Americanized Chinese fare, but it's good quality, hot and fresh. read more

Wok-N-Roll Buffet - ows the front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Albert Lea, Minnesota

Recently after finishing a remodel two things have increased greatly. Those things are variety and price. Good solid quality sushi now with ingredients like fish eggs, avocado, arti crab, real eel sauce, seaweed salad. Also lots of desert allong with all the regular items were all used to locally. Just saying, all you can eat sushi in rochester is $30 and even at $15 dinner rate/ highest since lunch is lower its plainly reasonable. Carryout is on pricey side for weight but i see why they do it since you could theoreticaly take just high end foods like shrimp for example. read more

Some of the food is warm and good. Some is not very fresh at all. Service was fine. Mason city is better but it isn't buffet.

Employee not friendly at all. Been there several times have noticed that the earlier your there is when the best food is then as the night goes it goes down hill. Seem like they try to get you out of there if you stay to long read more

The first time I was here was a couple of years ago and I thought it was horrible. So, when my son said he wanted to eat here for his birthday, I was dreading it. This was quite different in our experience from the past. There were many more dishes to choose from, it was fresh and quite tasty. The staff changed out the dishes quickly so there were no dried out leftovers sitting in the chafing dishes. In my experience before to Chinese buffets, the owners are always on staff. That can be good and bad. A lot tend to hover over you watching to see if you waste food, or whatever else they may be thinking. Not here, the staff/owners were very friendly, quick to take away your empty plates, and thanked us for our patronage. I took away a star, in all honesty, it amounts to half a star, because of the beverage service. I love hot tea with my meal, and all they had for their self service beverage was soda. We will definitely be back when we are visiting our son. read more

10.75 each for dinner buffet, drinks excluded. That's what the young Asian server who spoke fluent English flatly said to us. We wanna tip without the tax but he won't disclose how much the tax was. Most of the food is fried with pizza in the middle of the buffet. There's plenty of choices for dessert and there's about 8 containers of ice cream, choc peanut butter was the best. read more

We were very pleased with the food! There were so many options to choose from! Lots and lots of food! It seemed fairly fresh for the small amount of people dinning there. The price was reasonable and it included a drink! Everything tasted wonderful! Would dine here often if we lived in the area! read more

Definitely worth stopping in. Food was good; hot fresh, replaced frequently. No changing table in the men's room but willing to look past that. Food was especially good considering we're in the Midwest. Get the sugar bun, so good. read more

I'm Asian and I say this Chinese buffet is below average. I suggest going when it's busy so the food is fresher.

Ehhh..I've had better. Maybe I came at a bad time? Everything was kinda picked over and looked dried out. Maybe I was expecting tons of fresh veggies and a habachi grill? No such luck here, however..if you are looking for chicken...this place has lots of chicken dishes. General tso's chicken, sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, jalapeño chicken, peanut chicken, fried chicken, garlic chicken, chicken chicken, silly chicken, too much chicken and I've had enough chicken. There were a few other dishes that contained some kind of seafood, but since I'm from the West coast, I have a hard time eating fish in the Midwest. Yes, call me a fresh fish snob, but once you taste fresh fish....you never go back to anything else. One beef and broccoli dish. Noodles and rice were also available. A dessert buffet was provided along with different flavors of icecream. Not a big dessert fan unless it has chocolate incorporated in it. So yeah...Kinda dissapointed there was no abundance of veggies to choose from and no habachi grill. read more

The food was... OK. The service was... OK. The general feel of this place was... OK. I can't give this place more than an OK rating because that's how I felt the entire time I was here. The food is very middle of the road, the decor made me feel like I was sitting in a Chinese Themed mid-90's diner, and the service was very spotty. They cleared the plates just fine but having to ask every time for a re-fill, and I never did get those chopsticks I asked for. My favorite parts of the meal were the two different kinds of chicken that were literally the exact same. The General Tso and Sesame chicken are different only if you put your own sesame seeds on top of either. The wontons were alright, but don't bother with the egg rolls. Oh and as a piece of advice... if you find a hair in your food that is most obviously not yours? (My hair is red, the hair in question was BLACK). Don't bother mentioning it to the guy at the counter at checkout, he will yell at you to tell you that it was obviously your own hair. The sit down chinese restaurant is WAY better. read more

Used to get great food. Last few times food has been cold/warm. Workers are not very friendly overall. The seafood mix is very good!

0 stars, tooo much money for ice cold , claggy food- horrible. i spoke to staff they did not care. food layed in pans far to long to pass any health safety. should be shut until they learn it is unsafe and unhealthy for it to sit so long and then add more luke warm to cold and stir about read more

Awesome buffet, not traditional by any sense of the word. Majority of their dishes are chicken (I especially like the jalapeno chicken and general tso's chicken). They even mix it up with some other totally left field dishes as well. Like the mozzarella sticks (which surprisingly I like when its not sitting out for hours), macaroni and cheese, they even have garlic bread there!! To be honest, the staff is friendly and takes your plates right when you finish. But the food will never "wow" you, but there is always this little place in you that says "man I gotta have some wok n roll". Trust me, plenty of people who eat there often will tell you the same thing. Did I tell you about the ice cream? They have a ice cream bar and some weird desserts that just do not look appetizing at all, but I think one day I will have to courage to actually try them. So, if you are not a fan of traditional Chinese but love food like Panda Express, then this is your place to eat. At $7 a person w/ drink at lunch time and $10 a person w/ drink at dinner, it will not hurt the pocket book either! read more

The food was really good, the staff were very nice. However, the plates and silverware was sticky.

A pleasant surprise in the middle of nowhere. Had dinner there on a Friday night and enjoyed my meal. This buffet could hold its place against buffets in Minneapolis. The food was fresh, warm, and well seasoned. Among the notable dishes were the black pepper shrimp and the dumplings. The hot and sour soup was a little watery but had good taste. Disappointed that there no wok seared fried rice. The service was attentive, and dirty plates were promptly cleared. A nice ice cream selection was offered. This family friendly restaurant is worth consideration. read more

No sushi. No hibachi grill. No cold shrimp. I was so disappointed. I know that this is a Chinese buffet and that they are not really supposed to have sushi, but most of the buffets that I go to have a very small selection, and they most always have cold shrimp available. This place had neither. What a bummer. The jalapeno chicken was delicious and had a good kick to it. I'd also recommend the black pepper shrimp as it was the best thing on the menu. Hands down. They also offer banana pudding, cheesecake, coffee cake and a nice selection of fruit. The service was pretty great and I liked how they are located directly next door to a Walmart which makes it easy for us to park our semi and walk across. You can also park on the street and walk a short distance inside. This wasn't phenomenal food, but it was fresh and hot and cheap. 22$ for a nice dinner in a clean restaurant with constant re-fills and friendly staff, I'll take it. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. The food was hot and fresh, and there was a wide variety of meats (many reviews state they only have chicken dishes). There was chicken, beef, fish and a few pork dishes. The wait staff was courteous and the restaurant was clean. We live in Owatonna and the Chinese food here is really not very good. We will definitely be back. read more

I understand it's still covid. Only 2 of the 3 buffet lines were open. We brought our granddaughter thinking she would eat the American style food as she's 7 and picky unfortunately but only french fries were available. The breaded chicken dishes, the rice, and the crab dish were particularly dry this time. The breaded pepper shrimp had the best flavor but was still dry. The yellow egg soup was clear and tasted like hot water and there were no mugs as I could see so I used a little plastic cup for sauce just to try it even tho it didn't look like normal. I missed going there but have to say I'm not eager to go back after paying over $30 for the three of us. read more

Great workers there, they are very kind. The food was just a little cold but very good would most definitely go there again

When me and my friends went today there was a mouse running around we left immediately after getting my money back 30$ almost wasted

Quality of food isn't great. Not many options at all. The staff was being rude when I asked where the drinks were. Some of the plates on the stack had sauce all on them. Also they make you pay before you get your food and ask for a tip in advance. Ridiculous. I won't come back. read more

It was okay it has REALLY gone down hill from the past 2 years. The first time I ate there it was amazing the second time I ate there it was good. Then some time later of eating there from time to time. Now it is okay they don't have has much food as they use to, less fresh food, more harder food when spouse to be soft, and more. read more

Totally dissatisfied price for 2 meals outrageous food was cold Cream puffs are suppose to be cold not under a lamp. Will never eat here again read more

My husband and I work in the Food & Beverage industry, so the most important thing for us is cleanliness. If the dining room and restrooms are clean, that means the kitchen is clean. And this place is squeaky clean. The food is good, not spectacular, but good and it was fresh and new pans were replacing empties quickly. On another comment site, there was a comment complaining that they don't fill the pans. Good. There is a reason for that. It ensures that the food is always fresh, because what's in the pan will be eaten quickly and more will be made, little will be wasted and nothing gets cold. You always want the pans to be replaced quickly, not sitting forever. The buffet area was always being wiped down and cleaned. These people care about the food they are serving. My only complaint is this - as a mother of 3 small children, there is no changing table in the bathroom. Our infant son needed his diaper changed and there was no place to change him. We had to go to a gas station down the road. We stopped here as a midway point between visiting family in North/Central Minnesota and our home in Iowa. And we will definitely come here again on our travels. read more

We are from Michigan and was staying nearby on our way through. Salmon was really good. There was many varieties of chicken. There was no salad bar. Over all not bad. I have had better. The teriyaki chicken was nothing to write home about so I was disappointed about that and the sugar biscuits were horrible. But the rest was worth coming in. The price was normal for Chinese buffet, but since it wasn't as large of a selection as I'm used to that contributed to the three stars. read more

In town a few weeks for work nearby. 5* from me here simply due to rating this place for what this place IS......a good quick stop Chinese buffet/take out joint. It is QUICK food, fresh, hot for the most part, & fairly clean. They use shallow pans for a lot of the dishes in the buffet to keep food on a fresher rotation & fairly hot. Good & plenty of choices for such a seemingly small 'looking' buffet area! Items like egg rolls are really good but if you're getting the last few on the pan they been in there a while so won't be so fresh/hot, some items just aren't consumed/refreshed as quick as others. All the staples seem to be in place.....love the potstickers, pork egg rolls, peppered shrimp, muscles, crunchy green beans, mushrooms, broccoli, bourbon chicken, etc. Like the good self serve ice cream included in the buffet in the summer too! Price to product is good value IMO. You can be eating within minutes of walking in, which is really nice if you've been working 10+ hrs that day. Definitely better than the other Chinese place in town which I've tried before. read more

Wok-N-Roll Buffet - Hot sour soup & many of the tasty staples off the buffet. Poached salmon is probably farmed but cooked really good, don't eat a lot of it. - Chinese Near Me - Albert Lea, Minnesota

Let me help you DON'T EAT HERE. The food was all freezer burnt and served luke warm. Don't waste your money or your time.

Amazing buffet. The food was fresh and they kept the buffet full. The price was great for this buffet and all the choices they offer.

For a Chinese Buffet, this place was pretty good. I have been to a few terrible buffets back in California, and some very good Chinese restaurants. The food is very good. Very nice lunch time establishment. I would go back again. Lo mei fun is delicious! read more
