As long as you aren't looking for some fancy, perfectly-prepared-food buffet, this is a great place to eat. There are a few things that you have to look past to learn to love this place like I have (and I've been going for years!) such as the (rarely) warm fruit, the (often) messy ice cream bar, or the (sometimes) fatty chicken. Sometimes stuff like that happens there, but you just learn to move on and try something else, it all tastes good! (even the salt and pepper squid ;) )
OH! And before I go, I was appalled that no one else mentioned the rice noodles! TRY THE RICE NOODLES! They don't look like much, just very thin, white noodles with some veggies and herbs in it, but man are they good! I get a heaping pile EVERY time I go back for more food, and I'm willing to bet that by the time I leave, I've eaten a full plate of them :) I just wish I knew how to make them! :o
I can't put in words how much I love this place! The prices are good and the food is very very fresh for a buffet. They have a wide assortment of food to choose from too. The Coconut Shrimp is my all time favorite. They even have pizza and other "non-Chinese" food for those picky eaters that are along for the ride.
Aside from the main course they have a great selection of deserts. Go for the self serve ice cream (not soft serve either, which makes me happy they have mint chocolate chip as a selection). And you must try the sugar donuts...YUM!
The service is always fast and speedy and the are very nice. The overall cleanliness of this restaurant is very clean, which makes me even more of a fan of this place.
If you're in the area (or you just want to go for a drive to try something new) come here!
I've eaten here more times that I can count. As far as Chinese buffets go, this is a good option. The food is hot and fresh, and they are always busy (especially on the weekends). I like going for lunch because it is cheaper, and my son eats free!
My favorites are the green beans, sushi, steak (served only at dinner), and the large selection of fresh fruit. My son loves the lo-mein noddles, fruit, and fried rice. They have an actual sushi chef on hand to make custom creations for you as well. They have a nice balance of Chinese-American food and American food. It's not five-star dining, but it is just as good as all of the take-out places in the area.
Die-Nasty Buffet.
Tips: before you head in and dive into the spread, head up to Target first and go ahead and get yourself 24 rolls of toilet paper as well as some unclogger.
I think I'd rather head back to the college campus and eat there then ever go back to this place. Â On the other hand, over 4 years, I did keep going back to this place....still don't know why
This is perhaps the one and only Chinese buffet in Valparaiso, IN, hence the elevated hype from everybody in town. The place is usually packed especially when events are held, primarily by the Chinese & Japanese Department and Confucius Institute, and on the weekends after Sunday mass. Dynasty Buffet is also difficult to miss since it's located on a strip of mall right outside the college campus.
There is a range of Chinese selection but nobody should be surprised, after all isn't that the purpose of a buffet? I've definitely been to better buffets with a much wider selection, but this is as good as it gets in good, ol' Valpo for a cheap price. Much of the food is soaked in oil but it can be a tasty treat from time to time. There is also a sushi bar to the back of the buffet. There are pre-made sushi rolls to choose from and customers can also request makis and rolls of preference. I'd usually order the unagi maki and it's pretty decent. (Be sure to leave the guy a small tip after making a special request.)
Definitely not amazing but it's an ideal choice for poor college students to get stuffed.
This is a wonderful Chinese buffet hidden in a strip mall. The trays of hot and cold food include noodles, roasts of steak and chicken, seafood, sushi, a large selection of fresh fruit and salad. The friendly staff replenish the trays constantly. Seating is ample and comfy- we always sit at a booth. After you have stuffed yourself, there is a freezer of locally made delicious ice cream in eight flavors including the one called blue moo. You'll be happily laughing as you leave and walk past the people working out at the gym next door.

This is the most amazing Chinese Buffet I have ever been to (and I have been to a lot).
There is soooo much food! they even serve pizza!!
The interior design is beautiful and up to date! Very clean. Workers were fast....dirty place was gone within 1 minute of finishing it.
A little expensive but worth the money.
