Usually this place is pretty decent. There is no service generally. It’s all do it yourself. But they put a giant fresh fillet of salmon out so I grabbed a piece. It was not cooked through. Granted this was dinner time but that’s a pretty big risk to take even while busy.

A wide variety of seafood, Asian dishes, and some American food options. Usually busy with plenty of parking and a great location. Over $65 for 4 people for lunch and font forget to grab a free fortune cookie on your way out the door! Do not leave anything on the table has the cleaner will come by and grab it, and throw it away, assuming you were done.

Our family all likes different things and there is a little bit of everything. It isn't cheap for a family of 4 so we go on special occasions. Compared to the other buffet they include drinks here, they charge less for kids, and you don't have to wait for refills. Suggestion: please don't make the fish so tiny in the sushi rolls.

Plenty of food nice fresh hot, Nice dessert bar, nice quiet place to bring the family and have a decent meal very reasonable price, I like it a lot. My favorite was ice cream.

Went to China Town Buffet recently and honestly, it was kind of a letdown. The food was hot, which was nice, but everything just felt super unorganized. For the price, I expected better quality and a more put-together setup. It wasn’t horrible or anything, just not really worth what we paid. Maybe I went on an off day—I’m not saying you shouldn’t go there, this is just my opinion.

The food was cool. I question if it was warm enough to pass a health inspection. I had to ask other patrons where to get a drink. Turned out I was supposed to have been given a cup when I ordered. I had to go back and get it.
I would recommend eating elsewhere.

If I could leave a negative 100 star review for this place, I absolutely would. It looks like they chose quantity over quality. As they have an outstanding amount of choices, it is just not delicious choices. I would recommend that you don't come here. It is not the second best Chinese food place in Bismarck, it wouldn't even rank in the top 100 if they had a 100 places. Honestly, the only decent thing I found is their cream cheese wontons. Those are delightful. I got a spring roll and it was doughy. How the hell do you end up with a doughy spring roll? I've never had any place mess up a spring roll. The coffee was so bad I literally spat it out the minute it was in my mouth. I have tasted some swamp swill and I can tell you, I have never, ever spat it out like I did this. The peppered chicken was edible. Although I'm still not 100% convinced I was eating chicken. The beef and broccoli was not bad, but I don't know, I've had better, their mushrooms I put them all over the rice, It was pretty good. The rice definitely needs the help, I can make better at home. Most of the items we tried had an off flavor and was super greasy. We had what we think is pineapple chicken, but I don't, I don't know, it did not taste like pineapple chicken. My lunch partner went back for seconds on the Shanghai Noodles, so they must be okay and he seemed to enjoy their what looked like butterfly shrimp. I should not have so much grease all over my lips, from the food, that people think it's lip gloss. And let's not even discuss the fellow who was in the back, in the area that says sushi, making hawking/coughing up a loogie, noises while loudly on the phone during our entire stay in the restaurant. Pretty dark and dingy in here, but not dingy enough to stop me from noticing the grease all over the side of the wall in our booth. No wonder they get you to pay before you sit down. I can see why. The picture does not do the disturbing grease marks justice, it was pretty gross. The fresh fruit looked good. But I was so disturbed by the Chinese food Itself, that I couldn't even look at the fruit or the chocolate pudding they had which I was kind of excited about.

We got here around 7pm, after supper but before 9pm close. Much of what we ate had been sitting for a while. No one likes old hard food. Not all of it was bad and they would occasionally bring something fresh out. I get that it's toward the end. We paid full price for good food not discounted price for older dried up food. We did not say anything but made the best of it. Coming in it looked nice. Looking close it was dirty (windows, bathroom stalls, floors). They began sweeping and mopping before 8pm. Before leaving used the restrooms again. I thought a toilet overflowed, it appeared that wet. I looked at all stalls as I learned the first one first doesn't lock. They just mopped it that wer and missed spots on the glory floor and did nothing about the stalls. The toilet seat was very wet not just wiped wet-gross! I damn near fell 3 times If the cleaning in one area isn't good, what is the rest like? Do they short cut that?

If I had to describe this place, it would be “mid”. It isn’t bad. But it isn’t good either. :/
I just moved from the Denver area where I was spoiled with endless choices of amazing Asian cuisine restaurants. I tried out this place shortly after moving into town and was disappointed.
The food was good enough that I kept eating until I was full and made my money’s worth, but it wasn’t good enough that I’d want to come again.
I think it could be a good option for those with kids who want to introduce their youngsters to accessible Asian food with the safety net of some American food items, but I wouldn’t really recommend it to anyone else.
