Chinese Restaurants in Ponca City

“PROS: I live 45 minutes to the east, in Pawhuska so when I'm running errands in Ponca City, I always dine here. I've never been met with an unpleasant staff member. The servers are always smiling, happy and do their best to get you seated if there is a line. Why they never include a spoon with the cutlery is a bit of a mystery but I'm not going to ding them for that. They're also on top of refilling my beverage which is always a plus so 5 stars for the current wait staff.

CONS: The buffet is never HOT. It's not necessarily cold either, just a little warm. The Chinese food isn't nearly as good as the Chinese buffets in Tulsa but it's still decent enough, especially the Sesame Chicken and egg rolls. I do get a kick in seeing the okra on the buffet. You would only see that at an Oklahoma Chinese restaurant. The dessert cookies are REALLY, REALLY good. Another thing: a lot of the menu items are cooked really, really bland, not enough spice & kick in them. That might also be due to them not being as warm as they should be so for overall quality of food, I'm only going to give them 3 stars out of 5.

It's a shame Ponca doesn't have another Chinese buffet opening up soon if only to light a fire under Hunan's butt and inspire them to do better. It's a nice little restaurant and like I said, "decent enough" food, they just need to take things to the next level and instead of being "good," be "excellent." Maybe some day.“
