" Imperial China Buffet has an impressive selection of options for everyone in the family. From something as simple as chicken fried rice to delicious sushi rolls. Prices are fair, especially given the quantity and variety available. Service can be a bit haphazard, but overall the ambiance is pleasant enough to enjoy a meal. It's a solid choice for a casual night out without breaking the bank. " (*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*)

" I wouldn't rate this place on authenticity since some of the dishes felt more Americanized than traditional Chinese cuisine. However, the buffet offers a good selection of food and the service was quite attentive. My complaint was regarding how the setup works—everyone is crowding around the counter to get their food, which can be overwhelming. Overall, it served a purpose for a quick meal with friends but it might not satisfy those seeking true authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't love this buffet as much as I used to. My last visit was scrutinized by the quality of the food, which felt fresh when they opened, but near closing time, it seemed lacking. Service is decent, and while I enjoy the variety of food, some dishes haven't been great the past few times. A bit disappointed since I enjoyed this place previously. Fingers crossed they can improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had to try this place after hearing so many good things. It definitely lived up to its reputation! The buffet was well-organized and everything was fresh, especially the seafood bar. I enjoyed the crab legs and fried rice. My only wish is that they offered more dessert options. But overall, my visit was enjoyable and I will recommend it to friends. " (*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*)
