Super China Buffet

Buffet, FANTASTIC peanut-y chicken no chunks of peanuts just fabulous. bussers are very nice. clean. coupons alway in the val u pak thing 5.95 lunch and 7.95 dinner ( with coupons)

I only tried this place because I got tired of eating at K.G.'s Pub next door.

As far as chinese buffets, go this one is pretty subpar.  $8.50 for dinner (which is less than most chinese buffets) and a drink.  You get what you pay for.  Your basic General Tso's chicken, fried rice, lo mein, hot & sour soup, egg drop soup, won ton soup, fried dumplings, sweet & sour chicken, soft serve ice cream, etc.

Flavor was lacking on most dishes.   Edible, but not good.

Call it 2.5 stars.

The sign on the building, and their business cards say just "China Buffet", but the phone listing is still in the name of "Super China Buffet".

Ambience and cleanliness was a just a tad below my expectations. Men's room was clean, but needed some remodeling.  Back in the dining area, my table top was wiped down, but still had a sticky film on it.

Price for dinner: $7.95 including soft-drink and tax.

Inexpensive buffets have been having poor quality food lately, but this place is definitely within the "met expectations" category.  I would not want to go here in between lunch and dinner, but as long as you go during the main meal hours, you'll get fresh food.  I'd say it's a little bit better than the average "Super China Buffet."  (Which I know, isn't saying all that much.)

Very extensive selections, but all within the standards. Some lettuce, cucumber slices, marinated tomatoes, onions, and green peppers. Cold shrimp. Cold creamy fruit salad. Cold (fake) crab salad. Bananas in red sauce. Red jello. Soft serve frozen custard machine.  Vanilla wafers in pudding, plus a few more standard cheap pastry dessert items.  

Three steam tables, each of which are double-sided, so there are lots of selections, all of which are pretty much standards.  Items with pork are marked PORK on the label, including the egg rolls, and the stuffed mushrooms.

Some chicken dishes were kind of rubbery, but overall acceptable. Sauce, while fresh, was still "gunk sauce" that doesn't sit well for long.  That's why you have to go during the peak meal hours to get fresh food.  Two different kinds of shrimp in the steam trays, plus the cheesy seafood dish, plus a fresh vegetable and seafood (shrimp and fake crab) dish which I liked.  The brocolli in the various dishes containing brocoli was fresh.  Grilled chicken on a stick. Fried Rice. White rice. Won ton soup. Much more that I don't remember.

Lots of families among the clientele this evening (a Friday), and the children were well-behaved.

Not a place to impress boss/wife/gf/inlaws.  It's good for a family value meal or a cheap date if you like Chinese food, but it's not gourmet.  

I went here just to rate it.  Given a choice of where to go, for this neighborhood, I'd actually go to Asian Spice, just a few blocks up on Emerson. Or if I had to have Chinese and didn't have to have a buffet, I'd go across the street to Bamboo House to order off the menu.
