– CLEANLINESS. Eww. I’m throwing my shoes out when I get home. Went to the restroom and walked in nastiness on the floor from urinal backsplash. Floors by the food stations were like stepping in bubble gum. – FOOD. Okay. Not the greatest variety. – PRICE. Cheap – RETURN? No, I was just grossed out by the overall cleanliness of floors. I’m far from a snob.

Good food, and delivery… But found a finger nail in my food. Worst part is that it was in my mouth.

Delivery. Traveling for work and wanted a quite evening and some Chinese food. So I ordered my norm. Hot and Sour Soup(small). Egg Rolls. Shrimp Chow Mien(Menu called it Prawn Chow Mien. Cool Big Shrimps!!!) 2 Sprites. So I open the Soup(it was a quart size not small Cool again right? No) It looked and tasted like Egg Drop soup with some thickener, heat and brown coloring added. I had one spoon full and that was enough. I didn’t try the egg rolls because I usually dip them in the soup. On to the Chow Mien. First the Prawns were 61 – 70 size shrimps. The majority of the Chow Mien was Noodles(90%) Shrimp(5%) veggies(5%). The sauce tasted good! The Chow Mien tasted good also just not right though. There was no problem with the 2 cans of Sprite. I will never order from them again!

If you love getting so sick you need to go the ER, this is the restaurant for you! ordered take out from here and spent 20 hours alternating between diarrhea, vomiting, and shaking on the floor of the bathroom. This restaurant get’s an A+ for poor sanitation and should be shut down. avoid at all costs.

Not the best place to eat. The buffet wasn’t pleasing at all. The food that were fried were hard and stale. I didn’t finish what was on my plate, and when I got up to get another plate, the lady dumped my unfinished noodles back into the buffet tray and just mixed it around. I felt over charged.

Worst Buffet I have ever been to in my life! And I’m not being dramatic, it was horrid! I think I was in there for 20 mins total! Small selection, nothing is labeled(u play the guessing game of what the«meat is»), food looks like it’s been sitting there all day & is only lukewarm… not cleanly at all! There is no sushi selection. I only saw two«rolls» that looked so pathetic, they were mostly just white rice… I was disgusted w all of it… I didn’t even really eat. I tried a few bites of questionable stuff and left! Don’t waste your time or money for this buffet!

We ate here last Friday night because of one word: exhaustion! Exhaustion from work, from cooking, and from everything. So we decided to go to ChinaChina. We have been here a couple of times, but this is the first time I get to write my personal review about it. Reason for the three stars: the food is good when one is extremely hungry and exhausted! Compared to other buffets, this one is mediocre. I have to give kudos though because every time we come here, the place is cleaner than most buffet places. And although most food are mediocre, the Korean short ribs here is the one I always come back for!!! So, like I always say when someone asks me if a certain food or restaurant is good…“one way to find out, experience it!” Indulged on-everything, especially the Korean short ribs!

Food: 1 star. Service: negative a million stars. I’ve never had such a horrible experience. So it’s Friday, June 5th at 7:03 pm. We have a party of 23 people(18 adults, 5 kids). We had a separate room because of our large party. The restaurant was empty aside from 2 other tables, this was a huge red flag because the lack of customers in a buffet place means that the food is NOT moving and is NOT fresh. Like… it’s dinner time on a Saturday, where is everyone?! I ate a small plate just to be nice, since it was a graduation dinner I couldn’t get out of. There was hardly any variety, just Chinese food, couple kinds of sushi, no dessert aside from ice cream. They never not once came to pick up our dishes despite the lack of customers they had in the overall restaurant. We also ran out of water and had to chase them down twice and when he finally came, he was so in a rush that he spilled all over the table and never came to wipe the mess. So who did? We had to. We get the bill. This is where S@!# hit the wall. It ends up at $ 400. Adults are $ 11.99, kids are $ 6.50, so at this rate, it would be $ 250(18×11.99 + 5 x $ 6.50=$ 248.82), not including tip. Understand that THIS mistake was NOT what was infuriating. It is the way the owner and workers handled the situation was beyond frustrating. The elderly woman came in with another elderly man, and they started yelling at us, accusing us that we had people leave and that is why there was less people. I will assure you not a single person left. The man then went around the room, yelled at everyone to sit and not move, and he walked around the room and counted every person. Are we in kindergarten? Is this a head count? Seriously? They then proceeded to have TWOMORE workers come in and count AGAIN and checked all around the room to make sure we weren’t hiding anyone. My younger sister who is 10 years old, we were confused whether she was adult or kid because they DONOTHAVEANYSPECIFICATIONSOFAGELIMITS, so we asked(JUSTASKED) and the man yelled and sad«ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME. ??! SHE’S SOTALLANDYOU’RETELLINGMESHE’S A KID??» First off, we asked, we were not telling you she was anything. Second of all, we did not say she was kid or adult, we just said she is 10, what does she count as. COOLOFFMAN. This arguing went on for 20 minutes and we couldn’t leave until it was all handled because if we left, they would have accused us of «people leaving» and not getting an accurate count. In the end we were so over it, gave them the money WEKNEW was the right amount and all left. WORST. TIME. OF. MY. LIFE.

The food is delicious, and has a good variety. The service is quite nice as well. Though I don’t think it’s worth $ 16 per person, but it’s a nice stop place for road trip. Though it has some sushi and Korean food, this is an absolutely Chinese restaurant. If you looking for Japanese or Korean dishes then don’t try this one.

If your looking for a variety then this isn’t the place, their selections are limited and is primarily Chinese with two sushi options and few other random items. I’m not totally against this place but if you have picky eaters I would check out the food before you pay as their selections are minimal. It’s a great lance is your looking for a quick bite to eat for cheap since it was only $ 11.99 for adult dinner buffet, and $ 1.50 if you order a soda. They did have some good options though. Their chow mein was tasty and not oily and heavy like most places. Some of the food was fresh but most of it looked like it was sitting out for a while. Their hot and sour soup was also really good. Their teriyaki chicken was also flavored well and tender. Their spring rolls and sauce were decent, not the best I’ve had but who can complain when it’s all you can eat! The calamari was also not over cooked but it could have used some type of sauce. I asked for lemon and the waiter said they didn’t have any, which is kinda weird! They also had coconut shrimp which was okay but like usual buffets there too much dough coating the outside. Since we went on a Monday night there was hardly anyone in the place, two table with two people each that arrived when we were just about done. The waiter made us feel rushed at the end and wanted to hurry up and clear our table but it’s not like they were busy at all so it was kinda rude of him to push us out so quickly when we had barely been there for 40 minutes. Also, we paid our bill and we’re waiting for the kids to finish their dessert. When they were finally done and we were on our way out, the hostess(who looked like she was the owner) had the nerve to ask us to pay our bill as if we didn’t pay! We all just kept walking in shock! So rude! Overall the food is decent but I would probably not come here again because of the lack of variety and rude service.

China China — Awful awful Maybe it’s because we were there at an odd time(2:30PM on Saturday) but the food from the buffet was dried out and mostly tasteless. Seriously how is it even possible to have tasteless fried chicken? Maybe the menu items are good, but certainly there was nothing in the buffet that would give that impression.

Mixed results. I went for the buffet only and found the experience as one that could have been better yet didn’t exceed my expectations due to walking in with low expectations. The older lady working as a cashier conveyed an impression that I was interrupting h er day. For the longest time, I had to wait for a simple drink order of a Coke. It wasn’t until 2 male servers saw that I was one of two people in the entire restaurant where they started paying attention to me. The buffet was okay. I enjoyed the kung pao chicken and lemon fish yet there was an orange chicken that tasted so-so. There was a yellow chicken that was glazed to the point of looking chewy and greasy, and the presentation of it made me avoid trying it. The two sushi choices were good, one of which being a tuna tempura. The other choice had cayenne pepper or something comparable sprinkled onto it. The coke along with the buffet came to $ 14 and change. When I got up to pay my bill, the cashier just sighed and grumbled something inaudible. No big deal, since I walked out of the place with a full belly yet to someone else, the customer service given at a McDonalds would have been better. I’m giving this a 3 due to having low expectations and for believing that the restaurant performance was just average. Yet if given the option, I would rate this more on the 2.5 out of 5 side.

Absolutely disgusting. I came here for the lunch buffet and walking in it just felt like a mediocre place and had the air of a hole in the wall. I wasn’t expecting much and even at that I was hugely disappointed. When we were seated there was a hair on the tablecloth next to my napkin and utensils. Ugh… Quickly flicked it away and tried to ignore it as it could have just been a customer’s as they were walking by. Then as I was getting my first plate of food the buffet stands just seemed like the food has been sitting there for a while. The food was just mildly warm and I didn’t like how some of the food didn’t even have any kind of cover over them to protect it from people’s sneezing, coughing, dust, etc. As I was at the station against the back wall, which also looked groty, i saw a huge insect walking along the wall just a few inches away from the open-sitting food. I don’t know what kind of insect it was but it looked a little like a cockroach but with a thin flimsy body but it was definitely at least and inch long. I was so disgusted that i just ate the soup since that was one of the only foods really that was completely enclosed. Yes, I still ate because I was there with my fiancé’s family and i didn’t want to be rude. On top of that there were small flying insects above our table. Awesome. Yes the buffet is for a really cheap price but I’d rather pay more for a cleaner restaurant where I don’t feel sick.

If you want to die, this is where you should go to do it. Not only does this place resemble a run-down version of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory, but it’s dirty, disgusting and we should have left. Their food was bad. Really bad. It was cold and crusty, and it seriously looked like it would make you sick. There were bugs everywhere. I don’t know why we didn’t leave and I have no idea why the health department hasn’t shut them down yet. We were both really ill for 2 and 3 days after eating here. It’s really really awful. Please don’t eat here.
