One of my most favorite food is Chinese food, and for some reason I really crave what china buffet has to offer. I have visited numerous buffets around town and I seem to like this one the most. It's an average size and it does get crowded but it doesn't bother me. The most important thing for me is that the food is fresh and warm! Everything tasted great here! All the soups and the meat as well the salad was fresh. I'll be returning here more than often from now on.
Review Source:You really can't beat the price on the lunch buffet here (with tax it was still less than $5.50, although you pay an extra dollar for a drink). Â Many of their lunch specials are less than $4 too.
This place is really teeny-tiny hole-in-the wall buffet. Â I didn't even notice it until I glanced over after I had visited the Chase Bank next door. Â Quite possibly the smallest buffet restaurant in existence, they still maintained a pretty decent selection of food. Â During the lunch hour they were pretty consistent with getting out fresh food. Â Everytime I went up to get a plate they were refreshing a dish.
It was pretty busy the two times I've been here for lunch, so I can imagine sometimes it can get cramped but most people (like me) just eat and leave pretty quickly. Â I also noticed many people doing takeout for which they have lunch specials as well as buffet take-out. Â The cashier is very helpful.
For a quick & cheap all-you-can-eat lunch, this place can't be beat!
Great food for the price. Â The lady that works there is always friendly and welcoming. Â I really like the Honey Chicken and Chicken and Broccoli. Â Dinner price is $6.95 as everyone else has stated plus the $1.00 or so for the soda. Â I always leave stuffed and satisfied. Â I'm pretty sure the lunch price is $3.95 too. Â Worth checking out, and a better choice than fast food any day.
Review Source:I just moved across the street from this place and turns out it was a wise move. I went there for the first time with my bf, who had been trying to get me to go there for a while. Well, I was short on time this particular day and thought I'd give it a try. And for 4.95, we couldn't really go wrong!
The place is really clean compared to other buffets I have been too. They are on the smaller side, but that was no matter to me. The food selection was standard of what you find at most Chinese Buffets. However, everything was well prepared and still hot. The display was immaculately clean and the staff was very friendly.
I wish they could offer three-four more selections, but I was pleased with what they served. They do not have ice cream or pizza as other reviewers mentioned, but what they do have and the service, more than makes up for that. I will be back!
I used to eat her eon a regular basis when i lived in the neighborhood.
I had been away a while and I wanted to see what had developed.
The place has grown in every possible (positive) way since the days my little baby nephew would consume piles of broccoli (gratis.).
My nephew is growing up fast and so is this China Buffet.
They offer a wider variety of healthier choices. The interior is nicer than the old one - although the old wasn't bad - it was was functional. Now the place has some personality.
Ironically the restaurant  is intimate - for a buffet - but with free off-street parking and plenty of good food choices - and the low low prices - I'll be coming back again more often...
After reading "The C.'s" review, I decided to head back after having not been to China Buffet in about 2 months. Â I just couldn't believe that things had gotten that out of hand.
Went back yesterday for lunch, everything was as good as I remembered. Â Friendly employees, fresh food, cleanliness was on par, I think The C either had a bad day, or has overexacting standards for a $6 buffet.
I'm usually all about good ratings and the advice I get from Yelp when using the site to select a new plate to eat. I still have faith in my fellow Yelpers, and maybe they had a better experience the times they went, but I can't begin to tell you in my own experience what an absolute phenominal dissappointment this restaurant was. I can't even give it one star, but I had no choice in order to post this review. It was total crap and make no mistake RECIEVES NO STARS FROM ME.
This is not my first time at a buffet, let alone a chinese one in Chicago and even having gone to ones that were less than impressive, I have ever yet to be so saddenned and simply disgusted by a visit. The evening myself and family member went after they decided they had a desire for a chinese buffet. Upon arrival we paid our fees, and set forth to check out what was available on the line. Almost all the food was cold - not even room temperature. During our short time their, only 2 trays were replaced with what I assume was fresh food as I saw steam coming from the replaced tray. My brother in law had the Pineapple Chicken and General Tso's Chicken which had none of the expected flavor ( each respectively to their recipies) but were instead just both slimy pieces of overly fried chicken with a sugared glaze, no spiciness and the pineapples were seemingly forgotten and omitted from the dish entirely (picture taking fried chicken nuggets from mcdonalds and covering them with simple sugar syrup boiled in a pan).
Certain food items appeared to be sitting out for hours based upon their dry, shriveled appearance. Upon picking up egg rolls, fried wontons, crab rangoon and out of curiosity their texas toast - all were so dry on the outside and inside they could be used as hockey pucks, and i'm certain would break glass if thrown. I found hair in the lo-mein and food stuck to the bottom of several glasses over by the beverage area where you go to get your drinks. In addition over at the dessert bar there were fruit and cookies which were being taken by children  belonging to another set of patrons in attendance -  whereby they were grabbing them with their hands (not tongs) and replacing food they took a bite out of but didn't like directly back into the buffet tray. The lady working the register watched them do this but said nothing to them or their parents, and at the very least chose not to collect the affected trays to replace them with fresh food since they had now been compromised. For the crowning glory, I was greeted by 2 roaches greeting me on the bathroom toilet when I went to wash my hands before leaving.  Needless to say that was the last straw and we left immediately and wound up not eating, only to spend more money elsewhere to a better and cleaner establishment.
Based upon my visit, I cannot in good conscious recommend this place to anyone and I would never even if paid to go - ever go back.
The average-to-good quality items here should be enough to entice when you have a hankering for some Chinese food from a restaurant buffet. Â The lunch buffet price should encourage you to hurry here, though: $6.55, including tax and a fountain drink with free refills. Â This is a very good deal.
If I recall correctly, the dinner price is only something like $1.10 more with a drink.
If you're looking for this place from Pulaski, it's in a modern strip mall, set back from the road a little bit, so it doesn't front right on the street.
Nothing beats your corner Chinese food place. Food is very good, perhaps not amazing but very good. All you can eat buffet for around seven dollars or less (it's a little bit more expensive on Sundays). Great deal, saved me and my friends plenty of times. Predominantly chicken dishes, but other stuff too, all delicious. Can get buffet to go with fairly big container you can fill, stuff on menu is good too.
  Service is super friendly, allways asking how are you and what's going on if you go frequently.
Best chinese buffet i have ever been to-seriously! My boyfriend and i have been here 3 times now and they have been terrific each time. The food is fresh and flavorful. Unlike some buffets, where everything tastes more or less the same -and that same is 'bland' , the China Buffet on Pulaski cooks their buffet food to the same standard as their take out menu food (and that standard is 'good') Â Prices are cheap - Â 6.65 for all you can eat (soda is seperate and runs another buck or so, but thats a fountain u can help yourself to also) Â The one drawback which is not enough for me to take a star away (and its a personal preference to boot ) is that the buffet always has the same items on it and personally, i would like to see some variety.
Review Source:Its your standard run of the mill selection on a Chinese buffet. No, it does not have ice cream, pizza or extravagant items on it, but for the price its a good deal. The place is clean and its not like the others that have loud kids running around, sticky floors and other undesirable elements.
