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.

Went there today for Christmas dinner food was good but
When I took my son to the restroom, one of the servers walked in to use the urinal, I noticed when he went to wash his hands. He had latex gloves on. He just washed his hands with the gloves on. Then, went back to work meaning he touched himself with the gloves that he walked in with.Then, proceeded to wash his hands with said gloves on then went back to the floor i’m just glad that guy was not my server.Because it was gross

This place is not worth the money. They do not have good food at all. I paid for my food, but I only had a 1 of a plate. And I did not finish it.
This is not worth it at all. I would not pay for a meal there ever again. And I would not recommend this to anyone
You have to be desperate or really hungry.In order to eat here, I will continue to go to portland to get my buffets and be happy

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.

No one speaks English here. I told them something was “empty”, thought I was ignored, but then they brought me a pot of “tea”— which is not free by the way. I told 3 different staff that we didn’t order tea but no one understood. Service is lazy, had to ask for refills and tell them when things ran out. Some of the food appears to be from yesterday- see photos. Will update tomorrow to let you know how sick it made me.

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.

if you like cold, old food, and smelly seafood, this is the place for you. i was here at 11am, the start of lunch. i tried almost every dish. they were all cold and old.
which is sad as the taste was ok. the price was great. the veggies were great.
go elsewhere.

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.
