The location is in a plaza with several other restaurants making parking a bit challenging. Overall the place was spacious and the line to get inside went down quickly. Staff were friendly and seated people right away. They have a large variety of sea, American and Asian cuisines. The food was plenty, I don’t recall seeing any empty station, they were very prompt. The bathrooms were clean the only thing I didn’t like was the cold crab legs😩 I’ve never had them served that way before.

Long time Chinese restaurant in Tampa has got a face lift and new management. Tampa China Buffet at 1245 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33612 . My husband and I decide to try it out yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised at the extreme wide variety of Asian offerings. Everything from your regular Chinese buffet items to vast assortment of fresh sushi, sashimi and seafood . I enjoyed the red snapper, octopus, and eal just to mention a few. The fish was fresh and being rotated constantly to keep it fresh. Several shrimp dishes, fresh oysters and mussels. The service was spot on. Also a vast array of delicious desserts. The interior of the restaurant was modern and a bit on the deco side. I have zero complaints about this place and definitely will make it a regular stop when in the area. I noted that the kitchen staff was on the buffet all the time to keep the food rotated and fresh. If your in the area,and like this type of cuisines, its worth the stop.

Nicely renovate buffet with a good selection of items some of which you don't usually see on a Chinese buffet. That being said the service was terrible. After being seated a waitress brought a drink and I never saw her again until I was almost ready to leave. Nobodu c;eared dishes from the table and no drink refill

I have been going there for a long period of time and have no complaints and was always treated very well by the staff and the owners,and I will be back as soon as it opens again in September.
The food was simply delicious, and the seafood also was very fresh and delicious.

Buffet was great! All the food was fresh and the buffet area was very clean. Greeter and server were very polite and attentive. This was the first Chinese buffet I've been to where they do not reach over you to remove plates making you feel rushed. My server also said excuse me prior to removing the plate at the end of the table. Have added this place in my GPS as I will most definitely be back. Didn't give 5 star because even though the bathroom was almost clean I could smell what seemed like reclaimed water oder.

Nice people. A good selection of food. Honestly some looked fresh, some didn't. They have improved but still room for more. More attention to details and work on their presentation. No labels on all the different foods which is hard if you have allergies. Good size selection to choose from. Kids are about 8 bucks, adults 15$ buffet all you can eat. If you want all you can eat crab legs add about 20 more bucks to your ticket per person. It was quite a lot of room. Servers were good at picking up dishes and filling drinks. Bathrooms need love and care too.
Vegetarian options: Not labeled well, you have to ask. Clearly the vegetables ate vegetarian
