Majority of food was cold. Got rid of the stir fry bar.

Very expensive for not hot food. The food is like any cheap buffet but this is not cheap. Almost $60 for 3 people

The new owners have changed a few of the recipes, the chicken is a lot more juicy, not as dry as it use to be. I also prefer the self serve drinks and pay before eating, much less hassle!

No more hibachi. Tye quality and flavor of food on the buffet has gone done in quality. They did add more ice cream options though, scoop your own 5 different flavors.

I came to visit my kids and grands from Florida 11/20/25 and we wanted to go out for Chinese. We had to decide between Hong Kong Buffet in Elk River which has always been our main go to because it is closer and there are so many options and the food is always fresh and plentiful or go to China Buffet in Monticello. We decided on China Buffet because of the option to have hibachi. When we got there at 6:30 pm there were only a handful of tables occupied. They made us pay before sitting down and for 3 adults, a 12 year old and a 6 year old it was 90.00. The hibachi was gone, and the food was all cold and very old, to the point I had to say something about refreshing the food. It was dinner time, there shouldn’t have been cold dried out food. If I could give zero stars I would. The servers had been reduced to bussers only, as we got our own drinks. We did find out from one of the newly demoted servers that the “changes” just started that day and that they had not been informed prior. It was truly the worst dining experience we have ever had. The kids and grands went to Hong Kong tonight 11/24/25 and called me to tell me that the price was half the amount we were charged at China Buffet, the food was fresh, hot and delicious. Maybe it was better before the new changes, but if what we experienced is how it’s going to be going forward save your money and go elsewhere. China Buffet you should really think about closing up shop.

The only good thing was the pop and the waitress. Genuinely not trying to be mean, but the food was too chewy, too salty, no other real flavor. Something was very off .

I drive 30 miles to come specifically to this boofay. Food is always good (Coconut Chicken is the best). The service here is also excellent with my drink always being refilled right away. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

It got too expensive for a buffet. About $75 for a family of 4.

Solid Chinese buffet. Sushi selection is decent too, although they seem to struggle to keep it fully stocked.
Their garlic green beans are a personal favorite.
