We are new to the area and was excited to check this place out. To say we were disappointed is quite an under statement. Food was not good. Never had Chinese food quite like it before. Food was bland and hardly any flavor. The sesame chicken had too much breading. The sushi was labeled weird at the buffet counter and the seaweed inside the sushi tasted strange. Even the soft served ice cream was not sweet at all. The only thing that was edible was the Walnut Chicken and salmon. My family and I will not be going back.
I have been going to the China Buffet for decades because I love the reasonable price, the wide selection, and the great Sushi bar. If you are looking for fancy Asian food with attention to detail, this is not your restaurant. If you are looking for TONS of variety of food that tastes pretty good, then this is the place for you. I tend to spend the majority of my time at the Sushi bar. I don't a have refined taste for Sushi, but they have lots of choices and it all tastes great to me. And I enjoy eating at my own pace and being at liberty to keep going back for more
After hearing that this place was good we decided to give it a try, immediately walking in the atmosphere felt very grimy and humid with the empty awkwardly placed fountain and their dirty fish tank. The tables are very close together and have a narrow walkway also. After a lady sat us down at a table we noticed how strangely humid and sticky the tables and signs were, very gross feeling! But the only reason I even give it 2 stars is because the food was decent. The staff working there seem to be miserable and unhappy looking. And the price for a family of 4 was almost $60! Will not be eating at this place again!!
This used to be a great restaurant by buffet standards and we'd love to return when they decide permanently replacing their flatware with Styrofoam and plastic garbage was a terrible idea. Mountains of garbage littering every other table at a sit-in restaurant is a bad look. I realize it was the health department's idea for everyone to wear gloves while serving themselves, as if it's not equally likely to spread germs used the way everyone uses them. On the other hand there's no reason other than laziness to replace dishes with trash. Laziness is a red flag from a buffet. The whole world embraced a flimsy pretext to make a bunch of garbage and not a single life has been saved. It was time to stop before it started. Small business owners need to realize the Covid act has only ever turned away paying customers. I'd happily change my review for 5-stars and drop-in every now and then if they go back to business as usual.
The staff were very rudely moving trash within inches of me while I was dining. Refused agressively to remove the trash barrel from my table until I left. The stench from their broken and uncleaned fountain and fishtank should have warned me that they hate their work and customers. Such a disappointment . As a former food service worker as hostess waitress and busperson, their entire attitude was sickening.
Fresh and hot service is always good. Great selection of food to choose from. Drinks are never empty. Gloves required to get food which is good. Clean and great prices. Always come back here
The food looked better than it does at the restaurant. Triple Delight is fake crab and scallops, I picked them all out. The texture disintegrates with tongue pressure. I ordered 2 egg rolls and got 3 spring rolls, which were a bit gummy inside. The veggies were crunchy,, not overcooked. Instead of 1 box of rice per entree order, I received 1 box or rice for the entire order, with 2 entrees. The delivery driver was right on time. I do like the option to order pint or quart sizes. China Garden, with its higher prices, overcooked food, and no delivery, is missing the market.
Leave at this place has come five stars from people. Obviously these are people that have never been to Chinatown in New York city. I lived to find outside of Chinatown New York City off March Street in Little Italy just a few blocks away. On every block you found really confused food. If you really think this is Chinese food then I feel sorry for you. The last time I was there I started sneezing like crazy after I left. This happened before what I ate their food. I'm not sure what they are putting it at what kind of preservatives why sneeze so much. Matter of fact my son calls it the Sneezy buffet. Are you this never happens when I go to Chinatown in New York City or as a matter of fact San Francisco or seattle. Also I noticed that he'll have a side of wanted me to wear a mask and gloves when I'm in the place? What kind of joke is that? Also the prices have gone up a little and I'm not sure if they offer a senior discount anymore? Either way I'm not going to go back there's just too many rules the price is too high and the service is too bad and I'm not sure why sneeze when I go there
This place was so much better pre-pandemic. I think it is the ability to get your own food that I miss. Will have to come back in a while and see if that changed
Not bad, well priced. Food is your usual fare, with sushi and limited pizza if you're not feeling like Chinese food. They also had pork buns which I haven't seen often at Chinese buffets, pretty good.Staff was attentive - they offered water refills where at other restaurants I would've gone 5 or 10 minutes with an empty glass.
