China City Super Buffet

I would’ve given this place negative stars, since I can’t they get one star.
First off, I noticed they had that «hurry up and buy» stank attitude as soon as we walked through the door.
This place is called China City… my ass! They had no more than 30 selections of food to choose from. Everything lacked flavor, and the buffet area wreaked of that steamed rag smell they use to wipe around the heating pans.
So, my family and I were literally seated five minutes before the waitress started walking by our table staring at us every few minutes as if she was ready for us to leave. After about 30 minutes, this heffa starts clearing our plates without asking if we were finished. Shortly after this, she put the tabs on the table. Really?! We hadn’t even made an attempt to get dessert, so my patience was running really thin with her.
Needless to say the food sucked so badly, so did the lack of customer service. Myself or my family will never visit this overpriced dump again.
By the way, when it was time to pay at the front register, about 6 of the employees crowded around the register as if we were going to run out on a bill. I should’ve walked out, seeing that we spent $ 76 bucks for completely sh! tty food. Skip this crap hole and go to Lins if you’re in the mood for an Asian buffet.
Spending your hard earned money in establishments where your presence appears to be more of a nuisance is asinine, that is the reason they can sit on an spicy egg roll because I’ll never dine here again.

Went to check this place out on a Friday night around 830, sort of busy, got seated, started getting food and noticed half of these trays were empty, I asked 2 employees if they were going to put more food out since they didn’t close until 1030 they both said yes, 20 min later, nothing. I asked to speak to a manager and so she came and I asked if they were planning on putting more food out she stated that WE WOULD HAVE TO ASK HER SPECIFICALLY to put food out and I said I heard 2 other customers ask for more food, she smiled and said no one has asked me, so she then proceeds to asks what «items» i would like more of and I pointed out 3 trays, and 35 minutes later she only had 1 out, we then left, very dissatisfied and paid $ 60 for 2 adults and 3 children. Never again. Save your money!

Pretty good food. A good size of variety and option. I know my fountain drinks and it does have an after taste to their pepsi. The food is good though. It’s no pf Chang but it not the worst I’ve had. I’ll more than likely come back.

Good selection of food and convenient. I liked the rice and coconut shrimp, waiters were friendly and no wait to sit down

I’m not too keen on Chinese food buffets even though I LOVE Chinese food. I gave three stars only because I ate two things… the lo mein and pot sickers. Those two items were decent enough… I had very low expectations so I was happy that these items were good. The bathroom was disgusting though.

Don’t waste your money this is garbage disguised as Chinese food, there is nothing super about their selections!

We tried this place based on the reviews my husband read on Google. Boy, were we disappointed. Either those reviews are fake or those diners have really low expectations. The sushi was okay, but not exceptional. A few things on the hot bar were fairly tasty, but nothing to write home about. When we asked if they had any shrimp sauce, they pointed us to cocktail sauce. No shrimp sauce on a sushi bar? Unacceptable!
Then there’s the cost… dinner was over $ 24 for my husband and myself, and we didn’t even have drinks, just water. That’s a little pricey for food that was average (I’m being kind) tasting and barely warm. We won’t be back.

Mediocre. I haven’t been there in a few years. Perhaps I’m just not a fan of Chinese food anymore because I dislike Panda Express too.

I’ve learned my lesson. Do not come here when it’s not busy! Like 8:30 on a Tuesday night. The food had obviously been sitting out for awhile and most things were cold and unappetizing. They didn’t even have someone behind the counter doing the Mongolian BBQ… :(Very sad.

Been here before wasn’t impressed but this time they had a great selection. Their crab legs were dry. But their Mongolian grill was great. The sushi looked great, but it was a no carb day. I don’t know if this is the norm or holiday weekend made it better.

1^st thing I usually check in any restaurant is the bathroom sadly this one was horrid urinal was about to fall off the wall and looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years maybe. The food however was good the «coconut shrimp» was more like, fried shrimp with buttery coconut sauce on it pretty good. About half of the items are American which annoys me at a Chinese buffet. Service was good drink was kept refilled (a huge plus).

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I enjoy chinese buffet places. There was plenty of sushi for those who enjoy it. I enjoyed the Orange chicken and the Bacon wrapped Shrimp was excellent. I t was cooked fresh and fantastic.

Came here for what I can best describe as a disappointing, boring lunch. There aren’t many hot items to choose from, and like many other buffets, have several varieties of chicken/​shrimp that all taste the same. It’s pretty bland and unimaginative.
Well, except for the sushi, I suppose. They churn out California rolls very fast, so kudos.
I know that any AYCE place demands the diner lower their standards for quality of a meal, but this falls even below that… often, items are overcooked and dry.
The worst part was that I apparently came within an hour of dinnertime… which is like 3pm, I guess. About 15 minutes into my stay, many items disappeared, replaced with new food that said «dinner only». Some of these, like bacon-​wrapped shrimp, were clearly premium items. Others seemed quite arbitrary. A new flavor of the exact same item, for example, could be restricted. Strange.
It was also a hassle getting refills. Staff constantly circles tables, but ignores empty drinks until you explicitly say, in a kind manner, «WTF are you blind?» They’re really just there to police staff and charge extra if you grab a dinner item, not all of which were explicitly marked. I understand the model they’re trying to pursue, but it’s unwelcoming to basically have someone follow you around and watch you eat.
So the service blows, as does the food. The only part I enjoyed was the soft serve frozen yogurt at the end. I probably won’t come back.

My experience here is what drove me to create an account on Unilocal and give this place but one star. My younger brother, age 17, and myself, age 21, decided to try this buffet for the first time at 7pm on a Wednesday night.
Immediately as we walked in we were greeted with judgemental stares as the staff spoke to each other in a different language then finally told us we had to pay first before we were sat. I didn’t think much of this, since other buffets do this, until we watched as other families after us were kindly greeted and quickly taken to their tables. This kind of discrimination is what made us uncomfortable during our dining experience at China City Buffet.
The food was better than we expected, especially the sushi, but it would have been much better had the staff not treated us as if we were some kids, up to no good, who would run out of the restaurant without paying.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone with a family or simply anyone who looks over the age of 21 since they will not provide good service if they think you’ll run out on the bill, which is why they will make only you pay before you can even sit down.

A plethera of food many many fresh hot plates too choose from. not the typical chinesse restraunt you are greeted and taken care by a very very cheery staff that make you feel at home. The plates are bussed as soon as your done a bountyful array of tasty food awaites the decore is fresh. The booths are very comfortable.

Went for lunch yesterday. I was sick all day and night. I think it might have been the sushi.

Horrible food. Went with a group of three, and the others couldn’t even eat a plate. I tried to force myself to eat more then that but it’s too bleh. Would not recommend. Have to find a new place for dinner tonight now. Thanks

It’s my first time in here, came on lunch time. It was busy and lots of customers. The interior looks similar as you enter Chinese buffet but more bright and fresh.
The service was great. The waiters always seek the table that just finish and eager to clean it right away.
The sushi display was nice and the size of the sushi wasn’t as a big roll like a Californian rolls elsewhere, it was a perfect size for sushi in my taste.
The rice noodle, well, little bit blend. The wontons was OK.
The vegetables was great, it wasn’t too soft or overcooked.
The location very strategist because it’s near Costco, Ross, and Marshall’s…LOL.What else that you need, right?
I would like to go back to this place to try other menu on the weekend (I wondered if they have crab legs and pork belly).
PS: no cash back (incase you wonder;))

Went in and got lunch carry out for $ 9.06. Stuffed the box full with sushi, orange chicken, general tso’s chicken, bourbon chicken, and a shrimp mixture. And yes, all of that fit, I just had to pile it high, but they don’t care, which is why I love it!
Sure, you could go get a lunch combo meal for $ 5 at any other Chinese place, but here you get variety and get as much as you want.
Staff is always friendly and they do a great job refilling anything that is even remotely low.

Unfortunately, the food is less tasty than average Chinese food. Second, right as we were escorted to our table there was a long hair stuck to the table and the host said they forgot to clean the table! Third, my husband found a hair in his broccoli and the waitress said «don’t worry it’s just a eyelash!» WTF!!! Then she called the manager and they were arguing with us making a huge scene and all we tried to do was alert them so they are aware! The next time I decide to eat buffet, I will travel all the way to 75^th Ave & Mcdowell.
Good luck whoever wants to be humiliated and not satisfied after they eat!
