Place is run down inside and out. Should have turned around and walked out. Very small buffet selection, nothing fresh. Broccoli beef was horrible, full of gristle. General Tao’s chicken no flavor, not spicy. Szechuan chicken not spicy, bland. Did not like the honey chicken. Teriyaki chicken dry. Egg roll ok. Did not try the soups or sweet and sour chicken or noodles. Fried rice not great. Other than the fried chicken, I think that’s all that was on the bar. Will not be back.

What a phenomenal little gem to find. First and foremost first impressions are everything and the way we were greeted by Daisy set the tone off right. She was a delight to deal with. The buffet is small which is great for me! You can try a little bit of everything and it not feel like too much. I only wish they had wonton soup but the hot and sour soup was really good! It's the perfect size buffet. The decor fits it perfectly complete with lots of lucky red accents, koi fish tank and lots of nice chinese decor. I'm glad I found this place and will add it to the list! Looks like a lot of regulars come back and Daisy greeted them still in the same friendly way she greeted me, a first timer. There was plenty of seating for various size groups and even a private looking area, if you wanted to have a big gathering.

Absolutely worth the visit if you even remotely like Chinese style buffet. Food was terrific, and the only thing preventing a 5/5 star is due to the odd timing of my arrival at 1:30pm...buffet dining is always best done at peak times (noon, five pm, etc) but otherwise more than good enough to return, even at same off-time. Daisy, your hostess and general manager is superb, very friendly, well-spoken, and welcoming. Thank you, Daisy! Soups, fresh food, and about 24 food options, so on the smaller side of buffets, but also helpful so you don't get lost in a maze of options. Atmosphere was excellent - authentic music, 3 fish tanks, and simple but cozy Chinese decor. I got lucky coming here while passing through Biloxi/Gulf Coast on a short visit. Would happily return.

Do not waste your money. We ordered take-out and the food was very expensive compared to other local places. We ordered both General Tso’s chicken and Orange Chicken - which looked and tasted exactly the same except for the size of the chicken pieces. Both dishes had no flavor. The Mongolian beef was just ok and the vegetable low main was good. They forgot all of our sides of rice. The food was not appetizing and not as expected. Disappointed because we are on vacation and trusted the reviews.

Greasy, nasty, almost indescribable “food” that tasted as bad as it looked. Just plain gross, and I don’t know why this dirty place is even open still! PUKE! 🤮

An Unforgettable Culinary Journey at South China Buffet - A True Gem in Gulfport! Stepping into South China Chinese Buffet in Gulfport, MS, is like embarking on a delightful culinary adventure, and let me tell you, it's a journey you'll want to take again and again. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere and the tantalizing aromas of expertly prepared Chinese cuisine. This isn't just a buffet; it's an experience that sets a new standard for all-you-can-eat dining. The selection at South China is simply staggering. Every dish, from classic favorites to more unique offerings, is presented beautifully and replenished with impressive frequency, ensuring peak freshness. The General Tso's Chicken is a masterpiece – perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, with a sauce that hits all the right notes of sweet and spicy. Their Lo Mein is consistently al dente, never greasy, and loaded with fresh vegetables and succulent meats. And for those who appreciate the delicate art of sushi, South China delivers with a diverse array of rolls, each crafted with precision and incredibly fresh ingredients. Beyond the mainstays, what truly elevates South China is the sheer variety and quality of its specialized dishes. I was particularly impressed by their crab rangoons, which boast a perfectly crisp exterior and a generously filled, creamy interior – a true indulgence. The hot and sour soup is a revelation, a perfect balance of tang and heat that warms you from the inside out. Even their fried rice, often an afterthought at other buffets, is a standout – fluffy, flavorful, and packed with an abundance of ingredients. The commitment to freshness extends to the expansive salad bar and dessert station. Fresh fruit, crisp vegetables, and a delightful assortment of cakes and pastries provide the perfect counterpoint to the savory dishes. And for those with a sweet tooth, the self-serve ice cream machine is always a welcome sight! What truly sets South China apart, however, is the impeccable service. The staff are attentive, friendly, and work tirelessly to ensure a clean, well-stocked, and enjoyable dining experience. Tables are cleared promptly, drinks are refilled without asking, and there's a genuine sense of hospitality that makes you feel truly valued as a customer. In a world where buffets can often be hit or miss, South China Chinese Buffet in Gulfport, MS, is a resounding hit. It’s a testament to quality ingredients, masterful preparation, and exceptional service. Whether you're a Chinese food aficionado or simply looking for an outstanding meal with incredible variety, South China is an absolute must-visit. Five stars simply aren't enough to convey how truly impressed I am!

Customer service was great! Very nice people. Small selection and some items were very average. However, the green beans, lo mein, sweet and sour pork, and honey chicken were as good as it gets. I haven't had excellent lo mein in a good while. The atmosphere is very traditional decor and well done. The building itself is a little rough as is the seating furniture. The piece point for such a small selection was a little higher than I would expect, but still very average for a Chinese buffet nowadays ($13). My children absolutely loved it, and we will likely come again. I will be honest if it wasn't for the service I would have rated this a 3.5 overall, but the overall experience was very pleasant so I just couldn't give it less than 4. We had a great time.
