Not even 10 to 15 minutes after I left there, I started getting sick hoping since I went earlier in the day around noon, I was thinking the stuff would be more fresh. Something was still not good.

Personally, it just wasn't up to our par. Food was blah. A few items were delicious. Some deserts were stale. I am glad that they had the ice cream. With that said, you make your mind up.

The service is horrible, the waitresses give you the bill whenever they want and they kick you out of the place when they see that you have already consumed more than two dishes, the food is delicious but when I tried the shrimp they were dirty, they were not clean and had defecation inside, they charge you a lot and also they kick you out of the place, they do not treat you kindly and even so they demand a tip

My experience with this buffet was that the food was fresh and there was way too much for me to eat it all. We dined at lunch time. It was $15.99. With a $0.99 cent charge for each hot tea. What I loved was the amount of people who were there dining at the same time and how everyone was different. Just hitting the buffet with no problems. Food is indeed a gathering place.

The food was plentiful and quite good. I took my son and 2 grandsons. The server was attentive and pleasant. Would recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back.
Over 90 degrees outside and they don't have the ac on. Food had been sitting for a while and was dry. Servers weren't very attentive.

It has been a year since we last visited China Buffet and I've done many more reviews on google maps highlighting other Chinese buffets and other restaurants. The restaurant at 3:30pm on a Friday was sparsely populated but extremely clean. Background music was lightly playing, just enough of a buffer to distract other people talking. The serving options (see photos) were fresh and abundant awaiting the dinner hour rush, with the serving area well maintained. The staff quickly removes used plates and refills your drinks.
They offered a few fish items (see photos) calamari, oysters, whole shrimp, breaded fried fish, sea bass /bone in, and breaded fried shrimp. As you see the photos, they offer a variety of dishes. From my plate piled high, the fried food tasted better dunked in the sweet/sour sauce. The skewered chicken was thick and meaty with a nice flame cook flavor. The fried chicken pieces had their own seasoning flavor that was hard to identify but acceptable. No old oil aftertaste with the fried food. Some Chinese buffets offer the spring roll or wanton wrapper crab rangoon the thinner ones.( my favorite) while this establishment offers the eggroll thicker version. They are filled nicely with a slight crab taste.
The fried rice, and lo main noodles are an acceptable expectation. The Chinese green bean can range from decent to slightly burnt. For some reason, the seafood salad was drenched in mayonnaise. The ice cream is a disappointment, made with ice milk which lacks the creamy flavor and texture. Pepsi products are offered along with tea and coffee. While we were there, a little girl was sang happy birthday by the staff, the first time I had seen this take place outside of popular chain restaurants. A nice perk for an average Chinese buffet restaurant.
If we are in the area, this is a “ok” buffet to dine at. If you are willing to drive farther, others out there are much better.
