China Buffet

Chinese Restaurant $ 4.0 (322)


China Buffet has garnered mixed reviews regarding its food quality and authenticity. While some customers found the food acceptable, many expressed disappointment over bland flavors and a lack of authentic Chinese dishes, particularly considering its name suggests a buffet experience. Service quality appears to be decent, but the carry-out only model due to COVID has impacted the overall dining experience.

" My family has gone to China Buffet a couple of times, and while the service has always been friendly, the food has left us feeling unsatisfied. Most dishes are too sweet for our taste and lack the authentic punch we expect from Chinese restaurants. The egg rolls had an odd flavor, and the pepper steak was drowned in onions. Overall, just an okay spot, not worth a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Buffet does provide a decent experience for takeaway. I had the chicken fried rice and it was just average. The chicken was there, but definitely not enough to brag about. Service, however, was friendly and quick. I guess if you are in a hurry, it might be worth a try, but don’t expect a flavor explosion. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite the drawbacks of being a take-out only restaurant, I quite enjoyed my visit to China Buffet. The chicken and broccoli dish was satisfying, and I had no complaints about customer service. While the food may not be authentic by any means, it filled the void and was good enough to satisfy cravings on a busy weeknight. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent meals but not what I'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The price was reasonable for takeout, but you don't get the buffet experience anymore, which is disappointing. The chicken was pretty dry, and the range of options was limited compared to other places. I think they have room to improve, but for now, just an average experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from China Buffet, and while I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my food was ready for pickup, the quality still left a lot to be desired. The chicken and broccoli dish was the highlight, but that’s not saying much since the shrimp fried rice was nearly flavorless and lacked vegetables. I hope their food improves over time because the place has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for China Buffet based on some recommendations. However, I was not impressed. The foods seemed overly sweet, and even though they were quick with the preparation, the lack of authenticity was evident. Eggs rolls tasted frozen, rather than fresh. The service was pleasant, but that wasn’t enough to save my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited China Buffet hoping to find great Chinese food, but left feeling disappointed. The food was mediocre at best, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was lacking completely. I ordered sweet and sour chicken, which lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend unless you're desperate for a quick meal. " (*Curated Review*)
