do NOT recommend, if youre thinking of not going here then keep it that way, spend your money on something better, soy sauce expired 2007 and they still had it there, food made us sick, and 70 for 3 people, lady kept coming every minute asking if everything was okay read more

After 2 yrs still bad quality. Old ass food they leave out till all is eaten. Crab Rangoon is hella old it's cold/ chicken dry and old asf it's hard to bite n chew. No idea why they say only take what you can eat to cut cost so it's cheap. They save plenty by not giving fresh food. Oh and walls haven't been cleaned in years. Where the are the health inspectors???? Anyways spend the few extra money on minudo. Now I'm sick from these peoples food and it was my anniversary so that's amazing fighting back vomit. I would given no Starts if I could. Bathrooms are horrible as well. They even had no soap in there so I wonder what staff washed their hands with? Plain water. read more

Ordered out two entrees. It cost over $40. The food looked good. Good sized portions. It was absolutely void of flavor. The teriyaki tasted more like mint than teriyaki. Took a few bites and could not eat anymore. In Yakima I have found some pretty good Thai food, some OK teriyaki. But no good Chinese food. read more

Walking in was a bit weird. Unlike other buffets around town you pay first and the placements of the price should be behind the counter where you pay. Food appearance was off putting. Seems as if have been sitting there a bit. Food taste was not all that great, sweet and sour chicken was salty, teriyaki was dry. Not many options like other places. Very very meh. Was disappointed. read more

Food was okay not much choices but nice staff. It wasn't loud but can be very busy and over crowded when trying to get food and staff out new food over old food instead of the other way around. read more

Looks good tastes good I recommend you try for yourself and you will be surprised how much you love the food

My Father in-law took me and my family out to lunch a few months ago. My father in-law paid 80 + change. The restaurant was dingy but the real dirt and grime was at the table. The wall was horrendously dirty with layers of filth! The food was very bad! Shrimp tasted old and Mushy. The chicken wings were not fully cooked. When my five got his soda pop he spit it out and said "That tastes Bad!" I tasted the soda and it tasted Luke the machine had never been clean or sanitized. Within five minutes of arriving home we all were sick and fighting for the Bathroom! Oh there bathroom smelt like DEATH! read more

I will never be back to this restaurant... To expensive for 2 people.... Almost 35 dollars.... Food had tasted very old.. I had gotten a slice of salmon and it was white... very old and run down and needs updates VERY BAD!!! read more

World Bistro - a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Yakima, Washington

When they first open the food was good servings are nice and large and now things have gone pretty bad. Our chicken and broccoli meals had maybe two or three strips of chicken in there and had a large amount of grease in the small take out Areas that looked pretty bad and not appetizing. We spend over $100 every time we go and are pretty upset with this meal. read more

This is the first time in years that I have brought my business here. It will also be the last time. Let me say that I'm not impressed AT ALL. The food is mediocre and greased to the max. The sanitary conditions are appalling. Some of the containers are so worn out that they look like they've been chewed by a dog. One of the soy container's expired in 2007. Either that's a 7 year old soy sauce or that container is 7 years. OVER seven years because we know that the exploration date is always printed months ahead of the date in which it actually expires. The prices are over the top exaggerated for what they offer. They ask 11 per person for canned food, frozen meats, and pasty treats that seem to have been baked ages ago. PLUS a $2 drink. Finally, I would like to let everyone know that the tips that are left are not given to the waiters. The owners keep the tips or choose to get paid hourly. read more

Don't eat there for dinner very expensive for so few it items to chose from. We got there later in the evening 8pm but half the chicken dishes tasted like they been there for at least 30 minutes or more. The rice was very old so much so the browning of the rice on the bottom was there. Anyone who has a rice steamer knows that takes a while on keep warm for a while. Food was typical Chinese buffet items. I said something to the lady who rang us in about the very dry chicken she just said sorry have a nice night. I wouldn't eat there at least for dinner. And avoid off hours since I don't think they take away the old food just add some fresh too it. So don't waste your money. read more

I would give this place ZERO stars if I could. This is the DIRTIEST restaurant I've ever ate at, EVERYTHING is dirty. The walls are disgusting, my red flag should have been the glass doors when you enter the building, SO dirty. Desert was disgusting. NEVER again will we spend $55 here!! I felt so bad my kids used a hand wipe every time they touched something, I was constantly on them for touching things. Staff is RUDE!!!! read more

On Saturday my family and I went to dinner. We paid $175 for 7 people. We got there around 8pm, I believe an hour before they were going to close. My husband asked the older gentleman if they were going to bring out any more food? Fresh food? Bc the trays were all most empty so there wasn't a lot to choose from. The gentleman asked my husband what he would like? Because they were not going to put anymore food out because they were going to be closing soon. We got upset and asked to get fresh food since we were paying full price. The gentleman and the lady refused to put out fresh food. They began yelling at us and the rest of the customers. We asked for our money back it was not worth getting all the old left overs. Other customers also began to complain which made the owners even more upset bc everyone wanted a refund. This place is not worth the money especially bc it's suppose to be a buffet with a variety of fresh food?! I will not be going back to this place. & let's not talk about how dirty and old this place looks for the inside!! Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Placed an order through DoorDash and I found a cockroach in my food! Will not be going here again!! read more

Just ordered General Tso chicken..Hard as a rock. He cant eat it. The fried rice is disgusting.He wont eat it either. SO there goes some hard earned money in the trash! Wont be eating there or door dashing from there again. Find somewhere else to spend my earned dollars. This is a waste of time and money. read more

This used to be my favorite place as a kid; it's been a while since I tried it but honestly wish I wouldn't have payed little over $36 for two and the food was poor quality my 11 year old sister could have made these dishes 10x better. Seems as if they reuse meats and the food was cold, salty or bland. read more

This place is expensive sucks and the service is shit!! The people are unfriendly and rush you out of there.

I wrote an email to the Yakima health department expressing my concerns of this place and I never received a response. So if anyone gets any food related illness from them, you can also blame the fine government officials at the Yakima health department. read more

Okay, we know that going to a Chinese Buffet the standards shouldn't be too high. The food is alright, greasy for sure, MSG, oh yes. Largest seafood selection for this town. Fresh? No. Price? high in my opinion. Now, let's get to why this restaurant only got 1 star, THE BATHROOMS. Ever see Trainspotting? Well, I found the world's second disgusting one. For starters it was like walking into a dark alley to make a bad deal, then I walk into the larger stall to find a very large bucket full of toilet paper streaked with urine and poo. The toilet paper was strung all over the floor, none in the rolls. The toilet was worse, oh so much worse, wads of toilet paper there. Then I preceded to the second stall, no toilet paper and the lady trying to use it was gagging. Poo and pee everywhere. I tried to wash my hands, no soap, and glacier like water for the hot water. To make matters worse, I asked, kindly, if anyone had seen the lady's restroom. A blank stare was all I got, then followed by rude excuses as to why I couldn't use the restroom. Being in the restaurant biz, this is the worst thing EVER. If you don't have a working toilet, you don't have an operable restaurant. I told this to the staff; which lead to more arguing on their side. More arguing when I actually was trying to pay. I told the lady to hurry as I was feeling queasy with visual images of their bathrooms. I then reminded her that I was the customer spending my money at her restaurant and felt entitled to be able to take a piss when needed while dining there. So, if you dare go here, just empty your bladder before you go; and then expect to sit on your own a couple of hours after eating here. read more

Nasty nasty. We ate there a couple days ago and the food was not hot and the pizza was very undercooked. Also the ice cream scoopers had mold on them, that was my last straw. I was just done after that. To top it off my stomach has been hurting since. We won't be back and won't recommend this place to anyone. GAGGGGG! read more

As Chinese buffets go, China Buffet I thought was a bit better than average. The selection is quite large, and all the foods I sampled were quite tasty. The only downside is many of the chafing dishes were very low - but they did get refilled - just had to wait a few minutes, so no big deal. The variety was just what you'd expect, including non-Chinese items such as small grilled cheese sandwiches and other choices for little kids not into Chinese-American foods. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Yakima. read more

A giant buffet - food was pretty decent as long as you expect buffet quality you won't be disappointed. $10 for all you can eat Chinese food for dinner is pretty darn reasonable in my book. Try the cheese filled wontons they were pretty tasty. read more

World Bistro - Chinese Near Me - Yakima, Washington

This place is the worst I've had in a long time. Food must have been left over from when they built the great wall in China. Most of the other customers looked like the best food they have on average comes from a roach coach. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I come here often with my grandma, she seems to enjoy this place a lot. You can't beat their price for an all you can eat buffet. In fact, it's the only legitimate "all you can eat Chinese buffet" in the valley. So if you're craving, it's pretty much the only choice you got whether you like it or not. I feel like I'm at a constant battle to get the drink of my choice, it's frustrating, they constantly remind you that it's a charge for another drink as if they don't want you to get it. The servers seem annoyed. I come in, I get greeted, I get asked what drink I want, I say I want water and a soda. But later on I would want tea, and I'll get "but you already have a soda" so I don't know. The food is mediocre at best, stay on the aisle where the fried rice, noodles, green beans is located. It's cooked on the daily. Be aware of your drink with your party when you all have ordered a soda, because they tend mix the cups up. I got my uncles cup in the refills process, I found out with the straw tasting like cigarettes. Hopefully your eat is more enjoyable than mine. read more

I'd give ZERO STARS if that was an option. The food is jut plain gross, tried almost everything to see if there was anything worth eating, there wasn't. Even the Egg Drop soup was tasteless, no green onion, tried adding salt that didn't help. PISSED I wasted my money taking the grandkids here. By the time I got home I started throwing up from what little bit I did eat. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! read more

Lots more seafood than I usually see at a Chinese buffet, but the price was higher too. Fairly greasy. The desserts were a step above the usual, if that matters to you. read more

The bathroom toilets were out of order. They were out of rice. The veggies were nuked, sad, and floppy. The chicken and coconut shrimp were dry. Finally, what kind of Chinese restaurant only serves black tea in a diner mug? Didn't even have chopsticks. This place is the worst. read more

This place is in a sad state of repairs. Men's room - totally disgusting. Furniture and furnishing dirty and sticky and worn, carpets dirty and worn. Tile floors cracked and damaged, repaired with some kind of concrete? patch material. Very ugly. Food was highlight, at average, if that can be a highlight. Soft serve icecream, but NO toppings. None! Was part of group of 10, got charged for 11; all of us got charged $1.50 for drinks, even though several of us had water. There are too many places with better food and certainly MUCH MUCH better facilities. How does this place stay open???? Will NEVER be back. read more

This place needs major upgrades.. First would definitely be better customer service since a Chinese lady is always first to greet you at the counter.. No smiling, no communication or eye contact other than when she is telling you how much to pay.. Once you pay and pick a spot to sit and finally make your way to the buffet side, you can see some variety of food but it is typical Chinese food everyone is used to. After chowing down, if you need to use the restroom your in for a real treat! The womans and mens bathrooms look like they came from a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.. I have 3 kids, and I cant express how inconvenient it was that there is no changing table.. I had to make the decision of changing my kids in the dining area, on the counter next to the sink or on the floor... Dam, that was the last straw.. I honestly dont know how this restaurant passes health inspection! I consider myself a pretty laid back nice person, but this building needs to be burnt down and restored a new.. But thats just my opinion, if you still want to make your way go right on ahead and see for yourself! read more

Worst Chinese buffet I've been too , everything tastes the same bland flavor, and I found TWO HAIRS in my dishes, I would say overpriced for their mediocre business. Shits nasty.. read more

Would give zero stars if that was an option. Uncooked beef, filthy tables and restrooms. Stay away from this place. I reported them to the local health department for serving raw meat. read more

This restaurant both lacks enthusiasm for customer service and for the quality of food they are serving. The Hispanic man that cleared plates was the only pleasant part of the experience. He had enthusiasm for such a menial job at a buffet that was both run down and falling apart. With the owners acting as if they were inconvenienced by the customers that somehow found this place to be an enjoyable experience. The food was over cooked or undercooked, particularly when it came to the seafood which the female owner rudely stated to each customer was only for customers that payed for dinner. Albeit part of business her disdain for customer service and etiquette when eating an otherwise poorly cooked meal added to the ambiance of a failed buffet. I would advice future goers to find other dining arrangements in the Rainer square complex. read more

This is the worst buffet I've ever been to, I walked in and it smelled terrible and as I got more into the restaurant it smelled like pee and shit and I walked around the food to see what I wanted and it all looked undercooked and gross and I tried there bbq chicken and it was just god awful I would not recommend this restaurant to ‼anyone‼ read more

Worst china buffet ever. Overpriced. First and last time. Hair in 2 different dishes.i would not recommend. It is like throwing your money panda express is heaven compared to this. read more

This was the worst Chinese buffet my husband & have EVER been to. We went on Valentine's Day & expected it to be pretty decent. They hurried us to a table still wet, really wet from what I hoped was someone wiping it clean for the next customer. Greasy, terrible food. The corn on the cob was grey & tasted old & moldy. Beef & broccoli was stringy and the stuffed mushrooms were not even warmed through. $27.99 for 2 meals & 2 drinks. And my husband came home & threw up because the food was so bad. I wish we would have eaten at Burger King! read more

Horrible restaurant! Terribly cold food. Dirty dishes and table. All the food was old and very cold. Kids wanted to get ice cream it was all moldy and the tools used for ice cream were dirty and in gross dirty water. Never ever will return. Most definitely overpaid for horrible food and horrible experience. If I could give this restaurant less than 1 star I would! read more

Pricer than some buffets, but has a great selection, especially of seafood. Real ice cream too, not just soft serve.

i walked in there and it disgust me!! so un sanitized.. the carpet was so dirty! the carpet right under our table was black from dirtiness the table had finger prints from previous customers! i got up, got my toddler and left... i did not want touch there food!! they asked why was i leaving i was honest... i said way too dirty.. im sorry but i believe first impressions say alot! it was too dirty.. im giving them my money i expect cleaness!! i can image how they prepared there food!! Yuck!! never going back! read more

One star is generous, if 1/2 were an option i would rate it that. I started with a plate full of a wide variety of food, tried everything and didn't have a second bite of any of it. Even had to spit out a couple bites. Was sick as soon as we made it back to the hotel. On a positive note, the walmart down the street has some pretty good bagels as a back up meal. read more

Looking at the positives, I'd say that China Buffet is best at feeding large hungry groups, especially around lunch time. Come here if you are going for quantity rather than quality, although the quality is descent. The selection is broad from American dishes like pizza & chicken nuggets to Chinese dishes like orange chicken, rice and noodles. They also have a salad bar (although it's considered a buffet trap but if you want something healthier it's there), ice cream with cones, sea food dishes, and much more. Free water and at the end they will give you a fortune cookie. :) The younger servers are friendlier and some of the servers are still learning English. Feel free to ask them how to say something in Chinese (like 谢谢). The fish are also cool to look at and the scenery. In my opinion, I would only go at lunch time since dinner is more expensive. A great place to hang with friends and fill up. :) Also, there is one in Walla Walla, WA. read more
