I visited on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, and had one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. During our meal, a rat was running around inside the restaurant. Staff ended up killing the rat in front of customers while people were eating, which was disgusting, disturbing, and completely unacceptable. The situation ruined our meal and raised serious concerns about cleanliness and food safety. To make matters worse, we were still charged for our food despite what happened. There was no apology or effort to make things right. I will never return and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I went there for the first time on Sunday, and it was packed. The line was out the door! They had such a wide variety of food, and everything was fresh and delicious. You really can’t beat the price, especially with inflation. The dinner buffet was only $14.99 for an adult. The restaurant was clean, and the service was excellent. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend it to others.

Food is good and the Price is good. Not much variety compared to bigger places, but for the price I recommend it.

China Buffet has large, spacious dining rooms with a touch of retro vibe. The pocket friendly pricing attracts large crowds and families, hence the signs everywhere reminding you to keep an eye on your kids. They offer a huge selection of dishes, making it easy for everyone to find at least one tasty option. Overall, I love the flavors combined with the great price point!

Average buffet for the price range. There are enough good options, everything looked fresh. I had what I usually like which are shrimp cocktail, mussels, salmon, Korean bbq ribs, general Tso chicken, and fresh food for dessert.
