Great China Buffet

I am a big fan of Chinese food.  I like buffets a lot, and I eat at this place weekly--mostly out of convenience.  It is a very average place and the food is what you'd expect.  This is certainly not on the scale of WTT Buffet.  The food is of average quality, but is prepared very well.  The staff is absolutely great!  All of them work really hard.  The place is also very clean.  Not a bad place for a quick meal.

Went for lunch. Cleanliness is good.  But the food was not quite as good as I remember from 3 years ago.  What they had was decent.  But not much variety, mainly chicken and starch.  My friends liked the barbecue pork and the fried chicken.   No cantelope or melon. The only seafood was fake crab legs (surimi?) that were stir fried, and some deep-fried breaded fish fillets.

It was mainly meat and starch.  The only vegetables were broccoli in cheese sauce, chicken and broccoli, the beef with green peppers and onions.  I suppose you can count rice, noodles, crinkle-cut fries and tater-tots as vegetables.  

There was an item pretending to be pizza slices, and one lone pot-sticker sitting by itself.  The crab rangoon was standard fare, same as I've had elsewhere, but I don't know if that's good or not.

Salad was some iceberg lettuce and sliced cucumbers, both of which were fresh.

Dessert was red jello cubes, lemon pudding, tapioca pudding, rice pudding, and those little squares of very light cake.

Friendly staff.  Used plates were taken away promptly.  A young Chinese mom was running the cash register and putting food in the steam trays, with her pre-school age toddler tagging along  A friendly smiling Hispanic woman was busing tables.

Great price, only $5.99 for lunch, including drink, but not tax.   Definitely worth the price, so it's a good deal if money is tight.

Most people would probably rate it 2-stars, but because of the low price and the friendly staff, I'm giving them 3.
