Chinatown Buffet

Ok, just your typical cihinese buffet. Stop by for lunch on a saturday afternoon. With all the 4-​star ratings I was expecting better. this is just average.

Good lo main chicken for a very good price. Prices are decent and food is like everywhere else. If someone is looking for a fancy Chinese than they have to go to a pfchang

Spring rolls and fried chicken are good and they have ice cream. The rest of the food needs work.

Perfectly serviceable buffet, but probably not worth a trip if you’re not in the area.
While the food is generally fresh, the selection isn’t that large. It’s a bit of a trek, but you’re better of heading to Matthews for the Hibachi Grill for their selection — and if you have the time, go all the way to the new China Buffet in the converted Olive Garden at Albemarle Road (though that one is a real drive from here).
But if you’re in the area, and don’t mind the funky parking lot, they work out just fine — fairly standard buffet eats, fried and non-​fried, as well as some dessert selections and they do a decent job of taking care of the items that you work through during your meal, and friendly to boot.

We’ve taken the family multiple times, it’s not bad. No to the wonton soup, the wontons are soggy. The garlicky green beans are awesome & General Tso’s chicken is good. We always enjoy it, remember: it’s a buffet.

Pretty good, even at 2:30 in the afternoon. There were fresh items being brought out to restock the steam tables. The usual staples of such things — beef and brocoli, battered chicken in a lemon sauce, lo mein noodles, fried rice and the like. As well, one bar dedicated to fried stuff, including french fries, onion rings, crab rangoon and spring rolls. I skipped that one.
Dessert bar had some fruit and cake that looked like it wasn’t worth the effort, but they have to try, right?
Full meal, $ 6.99. $ 3 tip because the gal kept my water glass filled and cleared dirty plates quickly.
I thought it was pretty good. Better than most. I was especially pleased that it was this good between the lunch and dinner crowds.

Inedible noodles, canned fruit, underdone chicken… Avoid this place.

Restaurant has a somewhat small buffet, but does offer an excellent selection. They have the BEST lo mein and fried rice! Not a huge fan of their crab rangoon (a little too much cream cheese) and their egg/​spring rolls are just okay. I love their teriyaki chicken, general tso’s chicken and their chinese donuts! It’s well worth it for just $ 8 something a person, and you can also order takeout!

Chinatown Buffet is located in Indian Trail next to Genarros in the same plaza as Walmart. The restaurant is extremely basic as far as the buffet items. However, on a busy work day I do not find this to always be such a bad thing. With that said it makes it very easy to get in and out of there and leave full. For dinner on the other hand, not so much. The great thing about having a smaller buffet as they do is that the food seems to always be fresh.
