Waited for more than 45-60 min. Person said she thought it was only two. We were 3. And she kept passing 3or more people ahead of us. The food didn't taste like before in 2019. This time food was very greasy, (oily?)some sweet bread rolls , squeezed one in front of the receptionist and like a sponge lots of oil came out. She said they had to soak them in oil to fry ! Nobody picked up the plates even when we put them on the window sill. Need lots of P.R.And cook training. The sweet sour soup was over boiled no taste .more to say but then that's my opinion. The one on national city is awesome! Thank you for for asking for my opinion.
I love eating out. I found this china super buffet by coincidence during a quick visit to san Diego, fine place which I didn’t know before. I spent a lovely evening with my 2 friends and there kids, A huge set of different items of foods from all over the world, superb dishes and an efficient team and an impressive chef. We put this place in our phone list and we will definitely come back soon. We highly recommend.First time there. Very good buffet for the price. a huge selection of food, and specially for seafood lovers in different dishes, BBQ ribs, fresh salads, fresh fruit... and more.Again, for the price this is a great buffet.
We almost didn't try this place because of the bad reviews, but honestly was very surprised! Service was good, they never let us leave a dirty plate for long in the table, refills were timely and food was great! A few dishes were kinda cold, but that's nearly every Buffett. Lots of good options and place is kept up well! Did not check bathroom, but contrary to other reviews, did not see any flies of any kind.
This resteraunt has delicious fresh healthy food choices. The service was excellent they remove your soiled plates immediately their attentive they refill your drinks as needed and 'll for the right price. Lunch is cheaper then dinner but still the same freshness and quality you can expect from this resteraunt. This is my new favorite place for lunch or dinner.
Alot of food, I especially love their sushi... also great ambiance and service.
Fresh everything! I loved so many different dishes and each one tasting its own taste! Waitress so dignified and proud of her role in making us happy wt her service, simply beautiful and elegant. Will return. 5 ? ? ? ? ?
At $16 per person, we got what we paid for.We had moderate expectations knowing it was $16 per person. But we left mildly disappointed. If you enjoy very salty Chinese foods - over cooked in bulk - this place is for you.Environment - This place has a dated looked with Chinese stereotype decors. It is January 2022 and Covid is rampant. This place became jam packed as we’re halfway through our lunch! No table available. We left fast!Staff - not friendly but not mean. Smiles would be nice.Tables - clean-ish. Wads of paper napkins 5 inches high left on top of metal napkin boxes at every table.Foods. The few sushi selection is all nigiri; thin/small sliver of fish on top of fat rice balls. It’s okay. The Chinese food selection is abundant. Frog legs, welks, deep fried chicken wings, etc. Stir fried noodles made to order but wait your turn in a 20 minute line.I should really give this place 4 stars for the Chinese food selections BUT they pulled the “All You Can Eat” for $16 trick by making the foods super salty so that you drink a lot of water to fill your tummy. Had the foods not so salty, definitely 4 stars.
We've been a regular at China Super Buffet for many years especially because the La Mesa one has more to offer than El Cajon. I think with COVID it's been changing some of the dishes because there's no more ribs, just pieces of rib in the same sauce but, since the slices are so small they get as hard as rock. The deserts have changed and I know it's to save money, along with the entrees, so there's fewer heated dishes or that were supposed to be heated or at least have been for the years we've been going there; just cold. I honestly, don't know if it's okay to keep meats and seafood at room temperature. I was really surprised when my sweet and sour chicken was cold and we always go about 2 hours after opening so that we know it's all fresh and hot.The sushi is still wonderful and they also have the cook there to make your special meal. I hope that doesn't change.For the cost of the buffet it's still a real bargain; sushi alone is so expensive. But, my favorites aren't there anymore, so, we'll probably venture to new places.
Honestly I like this buffet but I always question how clean the entire place is... We are always swapping away at flies when we eat here. The food stands look decent but dang, the flies always get to me! I honestly don't think this place is very clean... That's why it gets a 2 star review.
4.5 starsI enjoy this buffer since I discovered September. I don't give it 5 stars because inw visit fruit was not good. Today there were fruit flies on the cabbage and Pineapples of the Mongolian bbq. Other than the fruit flies on those two items... there is row after row of choices for anyone to enjoy!
