DO NOT EAT HERE!!This place started out GREAT! Food was 2 out of 5 when it came to variety and selection, however what COMPLETELY ruined our appetite and experience was the cook in the back coughing and sneezing ? over the food before bringing it out and placing it on the buffet line!! YES YOU HEARD AND READ ME RIGHT!! COUGHING AND SNEEZING OVER THE FOOD!! Today is 3/31/24 a Sunday, so restaurant was sorta packed with Hispanics and church goers, me and my wife being truckers were in SHANNON, Ga awaiting a pickup, we chose CHEN CHEN due to its PRICE $12.95 per person for buffet, upon arrival we thought the crowded atmosphere meant GREAT FOOD and SERVICE, but BOY WAS WE WRONG!! The best thing about this place was the DRINKS! Tea was sweet & Dr Pepper seemed sweeter than off the shelf. About 2 plates in, we got up for a 3rd and dessert, only to walk by the kitchen area located behind the grill section next to the seafood and heard a loud sneeze ?, I looked back and saw the cook/server who had a large bowl of Lo Mein getting ready to let off a second sneeze ?, by the time I turned my head to locate the 1st sneeze, he was already letting off the second one OVER THE FOOD!! Yes Folks, OVER THE LO MEIN NOODLES he was bringing out to serve the guests. Which instantly made me want to throw up in my mouth, I had already eaten 2 plates, which we had overlooked the coughing going on in the SAME KITCHEN upon arrival. The cough occurred as a waiter was walking in to the kitchen area. I say all to say this, UNLESS YOU WANT COVID OR SOME OTHER STRANGE INFECTIOUS DISEASE/Diagnosis… AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS !! Our meal came up to $33 which is WAY OVER PRICED for GERMS !! These people seem to hate Americans, but love our money, due to the fact that they would so BLATANTLY DISRESPECT hard working people coming to patronize their establishment BY SERVING US GERMS!! 0 out of 5 stars for us!!

I thought it was rude for the waiter to ask for a tip and we wasn’t even done signing our receipt yet. So she didn’t receive a tip ??‍♀️ we go there all the time and tip pretty good for our family but this tip generation is out of control. If I feel you deserve a tip you will get one don’t ask. The food is good as always.

The food is great! But the service SUCKS sooo bad!!!! Everytime i come here after I'm seated the workers never come back to my table!!! I can never get my drink refilled or anything. I try to get their attention and they see me but just IGNORES me! I have spoken to the manager multiple times and each time he says it won't happen again, but every time it's the same Lousy service!!!

The food we got off the buffet was not hot nor really warm. The only thing that was hot was the lomein which they refreshed and the soup.

Food is decent but the waiters should not bully the customers for not leaving the tip they are expecting. They should be grateful for receiving any amount of tip.

Its Chinese food in an all you can eat style buffet. Prices are reasonable. Food is always hot and tasty. They also have hibachi grill included in the buffet. Plenty of seating for big parties and small one alike.Parking: Parking can get crowded. Shares building with tanning salon.

No one checked on my table. There were just two of us and no one even offered refills on our drinks or straws. I was very disappointed, as I looked forward to the meal.

I was out running errands and stopped here figuring a buffet would be a quick lunch. There is a decent selection of items on the buffet, a salad dessert bar, sushi bar and hibachi is included. The price was good for the food quality and buffet. It's a good way to try different things.The place was moderately busy and fresh food was brought out often.I didn't get a chance to try the habitchi this time. But that will be the first stop next time.
