Service was good and place was fairly clean but it just gives off a weird feeling and the food wasn't very good. Have been here multiple times and I miss the way it used to be. Also ✨ATTENTION✨: I wanted to grab just one piece of sushi from the sushi section. The sushi is not included in the buffet?!?! $0.50 for each sushi piece is crazy! I did not get sushi

Some items were clearly past their better time. Fried rice was like little bullets. Fair price in today's world .

Food was ok. However service was rude and nonchalant. Coming from out of town and this being my first experience here, that was a let down. They literally seemed irritated that I was there as a patron. I will spend my money somewhere else next time. Weird vibes at this place.

This was my go-to spot in college to get the most amount of food per dollar during finals. Great variety and taste. I still come for the food and nostalga when old college friends are in town

This has to be one of the best Chinese buffets in Chattanooga area but the Forbidden City Chinese buffet is better. Everything is normally fresh and constantly rotated.
The atmosphere is a little old looking and has horrible interior. The service is hit or miss . One waiter never got my dishes nor refilled my water until the end of my meal. They deserve only minimum tips due to the poor service.
I would say Chef Lin's is good but some things are lacking ..

Parking: Lots of parking out front. You will always find a place.
