The food was wretched in both taste and texture. The establishment was clean, and the tables were cleared regularly.

China Buffet offers a wide selection of medium-good food, including options for kids who don't like Chinese cuisine, such as nuggets and pizza. The buffet features a range of dishes, including noodles, chicken, crab puffs, and fried shrimp. Many customers find the food to be fresh and hot during lunch hours, although some have experienced inconsistent food temperatures and flavors.
The restaurant can get a bit warm inside, but the atmosphere is generally decent with nice chandeliers. Service is friendly but sometimes forgetful; staff members have been known to double-check orders and offer free appetizers or desserts as an apology for previous mistakes. Kids are charged based on age, making it a family-friendly place.
Customers have mixed opinions about the overall food quality. While some dishes like coconut shrimp and sushi are well-received, others such as fries can be cold and chicken may be chewy. The food is generally good, and the temperature is often okay. However, the cleanliness of the bathroom has been an issue for some customers.
The restaurant has faced some challenges, with customers noting that it has "slipped" and that some of their favorite dishes have changed since the restaurant closed for a short time in January. The service can be hit or miss, but the staff is typically polite and accommodating. The price is a bit high, but the restaurant continues to be a popular choice for a cheap, filling meal.
