The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant, they have good customer service, the food tastes good and the price is affordable, I recommend it :)Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance doors ? are wide so that any person with a disability can enter with peace of mind and feel in the place very well ? the parking is accessible for people to travel at the door of the restaurant.

Food was VERY COLD not hot at all! It's like the food sat out to long and never got changed out. Nothing at all was warm enough to enjoy.

We are regular customers at Salisbury's China Buffet. We believe in being good patrons at restaurants, so that we receive - most of the time- good service. After reading a few other reviews - some from 10 years ago, there are some updates needed. 1. There was some remodeling, very nice, but carpet could use replacing again. There are booths and tables and a separate area for large groups. 2. Since Covid, patronage had fallen off, but it is picking back up. 3. There are the 'best' times to arrive to eat hot, fresh food and not so good times to arrive. I totally agree with one review - arriving late for lunch or supper group is not a good idea - food is picked over, may be cold or dried out. I didn't like seeing fresh food mixed in with the old - not a good idea. 4. Service has always been great - we know most of the waitresses/hostesses - and we are always greeted and thanked. When we ask for fresh food, it is provided. Their tips have always been earned. 5. It is always wise to err on the safe side when eating food from buffets. It needs to be fresh if you have a sensitive stomach. (Avoid picking up germs -Wash your hands and those of your children after handling the serving utensils, and before you eat, because you will most likely be using your fingers to eat some of your food selections.) 6. I would like to see coupons to help with meals without having to buy a drink -it pretty much negates your savings. We will get a pot of tea occasionally, and the discount is applied. 7. Now to the cook staff. What happened? Why are so many of my favorites now sooo spicy, that I can't eat them? I don't believe its Asian spicy -like General Tso chicken. We loved the cheesy crab dish, but now it's so over spiced that we can't eat it. Please make some without the red pepper, etc. 8. They still make dishes to order along with the sushi bar. 9. We tried their plum wine on a special occasion - it was delicious. Your pot of tea is hot and flavorful. 10. We tried the crawfish - tasty but a messy treat. 11. Crab is not worth bothering with. 12. I can't remember ever having undercooked food. 13. You get more food - and a greater variety - for your money than at any other sit-down restaurant in Salisbury - as long as you aren't looking for steak or lobster! If you go and always eat just the same 3 or 4 dishes, then you don't know what you're missing. So, these are the highlights for the dishes we eat almost every time! The fried frog legs are the best I have ever eaten, and I try to get everyone I know, to try them! I ask for a whole platter sometimes. We enjoy the cheesy baked salmon; mussels in black bean sauce; fresh coconut shrimp, crab-filled biscuits; Mei Fun - thin rice noodles, with scrambled eggs and diced vegetables; fried calamari; beef with broccoli; fried and steamed dumplings; the curry chicken another one of my favorites; fresh fruit at full salad bar; green beans; and several different shrimp dishes that are always on our plates. There's a separate white rice maker that keeps the rice clean and perfectly cooked. They are closed on Tuesdays. Well, that's the "must know" for having a great time at China Buffet! Enjoy!

I have to give a 5-star review because for $21.00 you have at your choice more than a multitude of choices. The hibachi grill is always manned by someone who, for me, did a good job. The choice of food has all of the standard choices you see in Chinese buffet restaurants and then some. If you cannot find something here you like you are not hungry.A nice, but strictly business-faced lady ensured customers drinks were always full which was nice. I felt it to be reminiscent of the Catholic Nuns from my youth.All joking aside this appears to be a well run establishment and I would gladly return here.Kid-friendliness: Bring the kids. A perfect place as long as you don't trash the table area and maintain discipline.

The food here was good but it's not the best Chinese food that I've had. I don't feel like the $20 was worth it. They had my favorite frog legs on the all you can eat bar but they was not good. I really enjoyed the shrimp and broccoli, the ham, the cocktail shrimp, and the egg rolls.

Its nice, Inside is nice but food is cold if your taking out. They run out quickly and fast if you want sugary donuts thats cold come here. The workers are nice. And they ask if you want sauce if your taking out.

If I could give this place no stars, I would. The price for an adult is ridiculous. I didnt even eat. I took my 15, 11, and 4 yr old out. My 11 yr old tried to eat crawfish and it was soggy and disgusting looking. The atmosphere looks so depressing, hardly anyone was there. The food temps wasnt even making the food hot enough. The food look like 3 or 4 day leftover. My kids hated it. They took a bite of their food and said it was gross and old tasting amd the bread was stale. We left immediately. They charged me 46.98 for that food and all they had was basically a small taste. For that price, I could have gone to Golden Coral for better food. I dont reccomend this place at all. And I cant stand when they just stand there and stare at u the whole time then talking in their language sounding mad. They were upset cuz I didnt even want to eat. And left immediately. Its like they dont care bout their resturant anymore chargimg ridiculous prices for garbage.
