" If you’re in the mood for a filling meal, Red Door might meet that need. However, if you’re after authentic flavors, come prepared to be disappointed. I was eager to try their buffet, but most of the dishes were bland or poorly executed. I loved the egg rolls, but that was the highlight of my meal. The atmosphere could use a facelift, as it felt uninviting. The service staff were friendly, and they made sure we had what we needed. While I cannot praise the food, I could see families liking the place for its casual vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been meaning to try Red Door after hearing so much about it from friends, but I was thoroughly unimpressed during my recent visit. The food tasted bland and similar to typical cafeteria fare. The selection was quite extensive, but providing quantity seems like the only priority here. I struggled to find dishes that were flavorful and appealing. On the upside, the atmosphere was acceptable for a casual meal, and I did appreciate the pleasant demeanor of the staff. Perhaps the buffet could be a hit with kids, but as an adult seeking authentic flavors, it just missed the mark. I would not recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" We gathered for dinner a few days ago at Red Door. To my surprise, the buffet offered an extensive range of dishes, however, each lacked flavor. Our server was friendly and made our experience pleasant, but the food left a lot to be desired. The lower points were the fried rice and lo mein which seemed to be pre-packaged and lacked authenticity. Overall, I would rate the experience a two out of five. While the buffet provides adequate portions for a family meal, it does so at the cost of culinary tradition. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Red Door with a group of friends celebrating a birthday, and while the gathering was enjoyable, the food left much to be desired. The selection on the buffet was diverse, but it seems catered to American tastes rather than true Chinese cuisine. The lo mein tasted more like regular spaghetti, and the chicken lacked seasonal flavors. The venue was pleasant enough, and our waitress was delightful, but that doesn’t distract from the overall quality of the food. I would venture back for the social aspect, but not with high hopes for deliciousness. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Red Door for dinner, and while the kids enjoyed the variety, I was searching for flavors reminiscent of true Chinese cuisine. We had a mix of dishes ranging from fried rice to sweet and sour chicken, but most felt uninspired and lacked the rich flavors I craved. The ambiance was casual enough for a family, but the cleanliness of the lines and dining area left something to be desired. Our server was attentive, which we appreciated, but it's tough to justify a return visit when the food doesn’t meet my expectations. The portions were generous, which is a plus, but sadly not enough to redeem the experience for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family decided to try the buffet at Red Door last weekend based on various recommendations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly. However, the food left much to be desired. Most dishes tasted bland and were probably not made from scratch. The service was consistently good, so I hope that they can enhance their food offerings in the future. While I wouldn't recommend it as an authentic Chinese food experience, it's possible it could suffice as a casual family outing if you just want to fill up. " (*Curated Review*)

" In my opinion, Red Door misses the mark when it comes to delivering authentic Chinese cuisine. With its buffet selection, I was expecting an array of flavorful dishes, but what I received felt more Americanized and basic. While I appreciated the friendly service and cleanliness of the restaurant, I must emphasize that the food was just not great. If you appreciate freshness but lack seasoning, this is your spot. For anyone seeking a real culinary adventure, look elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)
