OK, here goes. There are Chinese Buffets, some subpar, to say the least; then, there is No 1 China Buffet on Reynolds Road, Lexington, KY. I went there, for the 1st time. I don't even know where to begin. If you weren't careful, you would swear that you walked into a Chinese Fine-Dining restaurant. The lights are kinda low, where the tables are. Music is playing softly, smooth vibes all around. Then, it hits you, the aroma of all the deliciousness you can think of. The buffet offers traditional Chinese, hibachi, sushi, salad, some basic American dishes and desserts. The buffet offers a variety of desserts that also include a self-serve ice cream bar. The tables, dishes etc are clean..very clean.They have children pricing for 5 and under; as well as, for ages 5 to 10. This makes it very affordable for families. This Chinese restaurant offers a wide variety of fresh and plentiful buffet options, including sushi, hibachi, and crab legs, and many appreciate the friendly and attentive service. It was all piping hot and fresh, the establishment was clean, the service was good and everyone I came into contact with (employee-wise) was very friendly. Sushi was fresh and plentiful. There's plenty of handicap spaces. The doors aren't automatic; but easy to open. This restaurant is located next door to Splash em Out Laundromat. You can eat at the restaurant or you can use takeout that's weighed by the pound, I think. I got takeout for 2 people and the plates were full and only cost $23 with tax.
So if you're finishing up shopping at Fayette Mall, doing laundry or any other time when you don't want to cook, head on over to No 1 China Buffet.
Vegetarian options: There's quite a few Vegetarian(Meat-free) options to choose from.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is ample Handicap parking spots. The doors aren't automatic; but easy to open.

I’m not sure why some reviews mention nasty cold food and rude employees. I went today (Tuesday, February 18) around 1pm. Everything was stocked on the buffet line, with many dishes being replenished the whole time I was there. It was all piping hot and fresh, the establishment was clean, the service was good and everyone I came into contact with (employee-wise) was very friendly. Sushi was fresh and plentiful. All the food I had (which was probably one or two pieces of everything) was very tasty! Great spot for all you can eat, do come here with realistic expectations though. Will 100% return!

I visited #1 China Buffet with my mom and husband for Mother’s Day, and it was a great experience! My mom, a buffet lover, was thrilled with the variety, and we all left full and satisfied. The food was plentiful with so many options to choose from, and the service was excellent.
It’s a fantastic spot for a hearty meal with great value for the money. We’ll definitely be back in the future!

Overall a fair experience. It’s what you expect from a standard buffet style restaurant. The selection isn’t as large as some places, and pricing can get expensive depending on the day and time. However, the convenience of grabbing a to go box by the pound is nice when you don’t want to overdo the food and your wallet. Servers are friendly, and most of the dishes were full and fresh a couple exceptions. The Sushi bar is pretty good too!
Very high on their prices and no senior discount
