I love China rose! People were extremely friendly! Food was great! I see they are closed and it’s been since May! Rumors are floating and it’s wrong to spread rumors! China Rose is located in an older building which could use updating! But to lie as I’ve seen some of the stories and spread rumors to get doors closed??? That’s a cheap shot and is wrong! My husband and I have eaten there on regular bases and never have I left there sick or dying because of food, conditions, attitudes, filthiness or anything! They wear gloves, hair contained and wipe the food areas down! Again sweet people and a great place! I miss the team that worked there! Also they threw a surprise last minuete no notification birthday celebration for my husband no cost out of the goodness of their heart! In January !!! It is wrong for what took place against them!!! I hope they will be back! China Rose in Brunswick you are missed!

Had a great variety of items, which all looked great, but sadly was ruined by the overwhelming smell of mold. After noticing the ceiling and the windows, it was horrifying how much mold there was. I’m surprised it has not been shut down. Staff was friendly once greeted but were never seen after getting drinks. Hate to see this especially since it may have been a favorite stop for some years prior. I hope they get that placed clean and fixed!!!!! P.s. Not asthmatic, but have trouble breathing after leaving.

What on earth has happened to this place? This is the second time I’ve gotten horrible food. First was the crab Rangoon and egg rolls, under filled, under fried, cold and super greasy. I gave it a pass. A month later, same thing. I came here to see the reviews and I have found similar ones. I won’t be back now, too bad. This place was second to the Freeport location but still good!

While the staff were friendly, the food was hit or miss, crab rangoons were extremely chewy and lo mein was cold, chicken fingers were hot and delicious, overall I liked the food but all I could smell was a musty odor lingering around the restaurant and upon looking up at the ceiling all you can see is massive spots of mold, I overheard other patrons mention the mold as well. My mom picked several things from their “buffet” but after a few bites she couldn’t stomach it and left paying $12.95 for cold unflavored food. They have a sign that they will charge extra for excessive waste so she didn’t dare go back up and try other menu options.

I have been coming here since I was little, and I've never had a bad time. China rose is held with such nostalgic fondness in my heart that I genuinely want to get married there. This isn't a joke, my fiance and I want nothing more than to have a small wedding at China rose with the buffet as catering. It has a lot of meaning to us.

Used to eat her as a kid and teenager and to used to be so amazing! So many amazing memories and great service. I was in town so i ordered a pupu for 4 for my family for pick up, when i arruved i realized how run down the place was, the inside is gross! They have dead fish in there tanks!, but i still wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt because my food still smelled decent and we were starved, but no surprise the food was so nasty!! It smelled gross up close, everything was way to greasy! There was a STAPLE in my chicken wing! My family took one bite of something and we all gagged. I actually cried because of the amount of money i paid and i never thought i would get this kind of experience from this restaurant. Im not sire if there are new owners now since i was a kid but it was the nastiest “food” ive ever had. It was thrown away. I will be going back today to demand a refund. Please be carful if you do order, specially with kids, i still have no idea how that staple got imbedded in the chicken wing. Im also gonna be calling a food inspector. I genuinely think they need it.

This place was unbelievable it was so good. The food was delicious as it filled me with joy. The service was great the workers were hard working. The atmosphere was also exceptionally well and made me feel right in Beijing. Can’t wait to come back to my favorite Asian restaurant

We use to love it before the last owner sold it. It has gone down hill ever since. Buffet food was warm to cold. . We wont go back.

My family and I ate here for the first time tonight.
The amount of food they have available is quite impressive, but quantity does not supercede "quality " and this place was anything but that!
I've been to many buffets in my time and needless to say, this place did not measure up to those buffets. The likelihood of us ever returning is HIGHLY unlikely! I've had better and this place sucked!
A very Small cup of sweet a sour sauce that was half full, I couldn’t eat the egg rolls because all of the grease pouring out of them. The bottom of the bag they came in was filled with grease. Will not be back

I've gone there before and was not impressed. I gave it a second chance tonight majority of the food was not very good and you can tell what was good because there was none of it left I went around 5:30 so there should have been plenty of food they weren't closing for another 4 hours there was four of us total including my family and I paid $76 for probably the worst meal I've ever had and when it came time for me to pay she brought my check and then proceeded to hover over me for about 20 minutes giving me dirty looks while I still continue to eat my food and I stood up to go to the bathroom and she ran over to me and said you pay now? I can't remember ever not tipping I find that to be very rude but I did not tip I was not impressed with the service and I sure as hell was not impressed with the food it was so bad right down to my fortune cookie was so old that it was malleable and I was able to unfold it

The food is great but there are some places on the warming table that must be broken because the food is cold. And I've noticed this for a couple of years. I go somewhere else, I don't like cold food when it's suppose to be hot.

Service was hilarious! Food good too. I didn’t pay my date to eat with me. He was there for another blue angle. service cut through the tension which was perfect. Thank you!
