" We discovered Imperial China Buffet while searching for places for a family reunion, and we couldn’t have picked a better spot! The dining area was spacious, and the food was abundant. My favorites were the dim sum and the fresh crab legs—they were delightful! Staff was attentive, but there seemed to be a delay in replenishing some items. Nevertheless, we had a great time and we'll definitely choose this place again for future gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I initially thought this buffet would be like the others, but Imperial China Buffet set itself apart with not only the sheer number of options but also the quality of the dishes served. The hibachi was fresh, and we loved picking out our ingredients to customize our meal. While the place was a bit busy, the atmosphere was lively and fun. Overall, a great experience—I will spread the word! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been here several times over the past year. The thing I love the most is the diversity of food options. Food ranges from traditional Chinese dishes to American influences, which satisfies a varying dinner crowd. The portions are generous, and the price is reasonable. However, the quality of the food can vary from visit to visit. I’d recommend trying different dishes to find what you enjoy most. Plus, the ambiance makes it a nice place for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic evening here with my friends. The buffet was expansive and included such a broad array of seafood—a rarity compared to most buffets! The crawfish were well-prepared, and the sushi section impressed me. Also, drinks were reasonably priced. Sharply dressed servers who are very attentive came around often. Planning on visiting again for sure—it’s worth the drive from where I live! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Imperial China Buffet with my niece and nephew, and it was a blast! They had a wide array of options that suited everyone's taste buds. My niece loved the seafood and my nephew was all about the chicken wings. I found the flavors delightful! The service was friendly and made us feel welcomed, and I appreciated how clean the space was throughout our meal. The desserts were heavenly; I highly recommend the chocolate mousse. It was our first time, and we will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the better buffets in Connecticut! We dined here for dinner and were impressed with the overall selection of dishes. The sushi and hibachi were highlights of the menu. Great service provided by the staff, and our table was always kept clean. We enjoyed our time and would recommend anyone to give it a shot, especially for families. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this share, but I’m just not that impressed. The noodles tasted a bit plain and the chicken was underseasoned. I had a mixed experience and the dessert selection wasn't very exciting either. I saw other diners enjoy their meals more than I did. I’d say they have potential, just not living up to it on this weekend. " (*Curated Review*)
