China Buffet

Worst «chinese» food I have ever had. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant.

Over 10 years ago, this place used to be one of the best. They have went downhill fast. At noon, lunch time, food on buffet was cold and con-​gelled. It shouldn’t be this way during the busiest hours. The shrimp was black and overcooked. The once famous crab rangoon was rotten. The cheese used in the rangoon was very very bad and spoiled. It would make anyone hurl. I checked the bathrooms out, and they were equivalent to a country gas station. I do recommend that they get new toilets, and get a mold inspection. You come out with more germs than when you go in. The wallpaper is coming off the walls. It is not maintained at all. This place is in need of a renovation and new management. After 10+ years of patronage, I do not have a desire to go back. There are plenty of other buffets in Columbia, and some are outstanding.

It’s cheap for a buffet, that is about the best I can say. The food is on the cold side making me wonder about the food safety. There are no tofu dishes for vegetarians but they will throw something together if you ask. I’ve actually give this place two tries since it is so close to the house. It would be nice to see new management pick this place up since I think they could do well in their location.

Basically a very mediocre Chinese buffet. The food was a little cold, and the variety is pitiful. The taste is bland and boring. Shrimp dishes are overcooked and dry the restaurant is also in disrepair and rundown. I would not recommend this place to anyone. You would be better off eating a frozen TV dinner.

Just visited Columbia Zoo and this place is laid back, quiet. Great atmosphere, cheap and great food.

Occasionally little one used to love going here for «junk-​food Fridays to get an egg roll and wings. Well recently (July 2012) I had the great idea (NOT) to stop there and eat since it was already late and too humid to cook anything on a gas range!
I only have myself to blame since I know that I don’t do buffet, I should have left well enough alone. However, they were just bringing out fresh trays for the dinner hours. My son was eating Mussel and bit into a baby crab about the dime and an untouched one had kelp or seaweed hanging from it! I was sick to my stomach and so was he. The problem was not the tiny crab or seaweed alone but the obvious fact that they did not thoroughly clean them. Otherwise, someone would have seen at least the seaweed. I have never in my life found anything more disgusting in my life in something I had to eat.
Instead of the owner offering a refund for my son’s portion he gave him an oral biology lesson about the life cycle and eating habits of Mussel! WTH!
Needless to say, I will not consume anything from this establishment again.

Not bad for the price. One of the older chinese buffets in town. I particularly like the peanut butter chicken which is the only reason I come here. It’s pretty busy during lunch on weekdays because it’s near the base as well as other businesses. I would recommend as a good lunch spot if you’re in the area.
