Great Sushi – I eat there during lunch and the food is great. I am not sure of the bad reviews, but I love eating there. They have a sushi bar as part of the buffet, and it is really good. The price can't be beaten for the quality and the choice of food. Try it for yourself and you'll like it.
2nd visit was decent, 1st was awful, nothing special. – I decided to try this place again after hearing positive reviews from friends. We went at 6pm on a Thursday. This time it was reasonably better than the first time. I tried several things I had the first time and a few new items. It was decent. Definitely better than my first visit. Even so, I won't likely go back because there's just nothing special about the food to make it worth the trip and price. The staff was nice and the cashier let us use a single coupon 6 times... read more
Some of the food was cold – The restaurant is nicely decorated, nice entrance, friendly staff, sitting a bit crowded, I like more space for my big family, needs more spacing. Food selection was great although some of the steak and some of the food thats supposed to be hot temperature was cold.
Great Selection, Value, and Quality – We've been visiting this restaurant every couple of months for a year. The selection is awesome and varied. The cheesy crab-bake is out of this world and the sesame seed pastries are soft and sweet. For a little extra cash, you can have huge crablegs as well. I really don't understand the negative reviews of this place. My food has always been the right temperature, and plates are always readily available. It's not like I'm basing this on one visit. The only drawback we've noticed is how... read more
Great Buffet - Disregard Bad Reviews – The above bad reviews are totally inaccurate. They must have been placed by competitors. My wife and I have eaten at the China Buffet over 150 times and we drive a great distance from Virginia to eat here. We have never encountered empty trays, cold food that should be hot, rude wait staff or the other inaccurate things mentioned. The staff is especially helpful and attentive. The selection of food is varied and the sushi bar is very popular. There are a number of people who eat at the ... read more
Going Downhill Fast – This used to be our favorite place to go for a quick, inexpensive dinner. The food was above average for a Chinese buffet and we could get in and out quickly. Over the last two years, however, the number of items on the buffet has increased while the quality of the food has steadily declined. Also, the dishes for the food are often empty and not quickly refilled so if you want the General Tso?s chicken, orange beef or other popular dishes they may not be out for 15 or minutes after you find the dish emp... read more
Eat at your own risk! – This place doesn't deserve even ONE HALF a star. It seems like all their profit goes into decor, because none of it seems to go into the food. I wish I'd read this before we went. I think they keep your drinks filled to help you get the food down. I stopped eating the first plate and left it with most of the food on it. By then, I already had an MSG headache! Still hungry, I searched the buffet for different foods that might be edible and ended up picking at some of the dishes only to find a hair in m... read more
Disgusting food and bad services- even fortune cookies were stale! – This is probably the worst restaurant I've been to in my life. There is nothing positive about it.. Normally, you can find at least one item you like in a buffet. However, at this restaurant, *everything* tasted disgusting. When I say everything, I am not exaggerating. Especially, all deep fried food was stale. It just tasted like cooked 3 days ago. The sushi was absolutely disgusting (they should not even say that they serve "sushi"). Basically, the only t... read more
Good Lunch Buffet – My husband and I decided to try this restaurant at lunch time during the week because of a flyer we got in the mail. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food for the price. There were plenty of selections on the buffet. The variety of sushi was great, most buffets only offer a couple of variations on the Cali Roll. This place had salmon, tuna, and even eel. There was also one with this sauce that was to die for, I've been craving it ever since. The crab rangoon was ok, but the beans, "crab de... read more
