About China Buffet

China Buffet offers a varied selection of hot, flavorful, and fairly fresh dishes for a reasonably priced all-you-can-eat buffet experience. The service is reported to be good, with constant restocking of the food. The restaurant is noted for its cleanliness, both in the dining area and the bathrooms, and the option to take home a to-go box for an additional charge.

The buffet provides a decent size with a lot of options, including a variety of fish items such as calamari, oysters, whole shrimp, breaded fried fish, sea bass, and breaded fried shrimp. The fried food tastes better when dunked in the sweet/sour sauce, and the skewered chicken is thick and meaty with a nice flame-cooked flavor. The fried chicken pieces have their own seasoning flavor that is hard to identify but acceptable.

The fried rice and lo mein noodles are an acceptable expectation, while the Chinese green beans can range from decent to slightly burnt. Unfortunately, the seafood salad is drenched in mayonnaise, and the ice cream is a disappointment, made with ice milk which lacks the creamy flavor and texture.

Overall, China Buffet appears to provide a generally satisfactory dining experience for those seeking an affordable and convenient buffet option, with good service and a clean environment. While it may not be the best Chinese buffet in the area, it is a decent choice for those in the vicinity.
