The food is always delicious, occasionally they have a variety. But I always prefer my staples of the same thing. Creature of habit. Staff is always super friendly and nice. Great at getting your dirty plates and refilling your beverages. read more

Was in town for a hockey tournament there again like all Chinese buffets in a strip mall you kind of wonder what you're into yelp and Tripadvisor had two different locations. Beware of the location you check call to see the right address because the old address is now a pizza ranch, which I do not recommend. Overall, chicken broccoli was good. Lo mein was good. Egg rolls were a little soft not as crunchy. They've sat in the steam table a little bit. Some of the items were empty. I just think the kitchen was overwhelmed by the amount of people there. I would probably eat here again if it's during the main hours, which to me in the evening are from 5:30 to seventh for an evening Buffet read more

Fresh, hot. Reasonably priced. Will try again. 3 buffet tables and 1 dessert table. Worth a try. Probably hotter and fresher in peak hours. read more

If I could give it zero stars I would worst place I've ever been to food not fresh I wouldn't recommend a soul to eat this and if you do eat this crap I'm sorry for your body read more

Not sure what year the prices are from, but double them. Got some soup and it's fine and the service was fine, but don't expect the online menu price. read more

Not near the selection of food they had before. Expensive for a buffet. Food average at best.

the food was okay at best. A lot of it was cold and some was just not pleasant to taste. the service was nice came around a lot to refill. the ambiance was plain not much to it it was cozy and small but otherwise plain. PS: got sick after eating there probably never going again. read more

Absolutely positively the worst meal I've ever had. I was out in the area getting a haircut at around noon today and decided to go to the China buffet for lunch. It was absolutely inedible. The generals chicken, when I bit into it, was like biting into a rock. I asked the manager to bring me some fresh General's chicken from the kitchen. It was equally as bad. It was not that it was overcooked but instead the chicken was like they butchered the old barnyard rooster. It was horrible! Then, when I went up to pay the bill after not eating practically anything on my plate I was charged $17.17 for lunch! I could've had a decent lunch at Arby's just a toss away next-door. My advice to everyone is beware. If you want crappy Chinese food then knock yourself out. If you want good Chinese food avoid the China buffet. read more

Don't know why this place has such low ratings.. the food was hot and fresh.. service wasn't top notch but no complaints either. Clean inside , clean restrooms.. price wasn't bad either. I'm giving it 4stars read more

China Buffet Alexandria - Uhugh... should have went to doolittles. - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Minnesota

Gonna give one star because the Pepsi was really good.. other than that my food was horrible. It taste like the food had been sitting out all day . Not really a lot of options to choose from . My lo mein was so dry it was sticky I could barely swallow it .. this is definitely not the good comforting Chinese food that I'm used to being that I'm from out of town I had to urge to eat Chinese . And it was terrible not to mention I paid 30$ for 2 dine in buffet during lunch hours read more

Very nice selection of items on the buffet. Friendly staff food was reasonably fresh and good ! Place could have been cleaner but all in all not a bad place to go ! read more

Honestly it does not get much betetr thatn this fresh food good staff love this place with my heart

The food is mediocre but they are fast to clean the plates off your table and the dessert bar is large. There's also non-asian options like mashed potatoes and chicken wings, etc. The wonton soup didn't have any wonton dumplings, it just had pieces of wonton wrapper in it. The egg drop soup was better but still meh. read more

See all

One of my favorite Chinese buffets I've been too. The selection isn't one hundred percent the best but, still good and has what I like.

We stopped in on Monday and let me just say that the staff is NOT friendly at all. We walked in and waited to be seated for about 5min. It was not busy when we went but staff was nearby folding napkins/silverware OR eating themselves at 11am (when they opened) and still chose to keep doing that instead of seating us as they are supposed to. As we walked up to get our food the staff begins talking in their language to one another and it makes you so uncomfortable because you know that they are talking about you. Next time I want to push record on my phone and have someone interpret what they say because you absolutely know they are saying something negative about you. Instead of folding silverware they should be spending more time cleaning the place because it was not at all very clean. When they were located downtown I can honestly say the place was much cleaned and much better kept. As for the food it leaves alot to be desired. It is not very hot and I agree with the previous reviews left that it seems like much of it comes from a box and not at all homeade. There are more american items vs. ethnic items on the buffet which is sad. If I wanted a pizza I would go to a pizza joint. If I wanted bbq meatballs OR french fries and garlic bread I would go elsewhere. This is supposed to be authentic ethnic food and it truly isn't. I do not suggest people go here to eat. Save your hard earned money and choose another establishment in our community. This place is WAY over priced for what they offer and they are not people friendly at all. read more

"Very disappointed in this buffet! Way to pricey, for the food served! Not one of the items we chose was even the slightest bit warm! Didn't take many things, because of the temp of the food! Mentioned it to the waite staff, and she came back and said they turned the heat up, on the water, below the food! Didn't really care, as it still could have meant that the food, may not be safe to eat, being the temperature of the food , may have sat to long,in luke warm water! ate mostly from the dessert bar..... We will never go back!..... read more

We arrived on Friday at lunchtime. It took a long time for us to be seated, and the employees did not seem in a rush to get us to our table. I was wishing we could see it ourselves, since I could see many open tables. A man behind us apparently could not stand the wait, groaned, and left. The price for the lunch buffet was reasonable at about $8.50. The food was decent. It was extremely warm in the restaurant. Usually I am one to bring in a sweater when we go out because I am cold. However, I was almost sweating in this restaurant on this particular day. read more

Buffet always has a great selection of food, have never had any issues the wait staff is always pleasant and refills our drinks faster than any other restaurants I've been to. The desert bar has a great selection too, along with some fruits as well. read more

Went with the kids my wife and her mother for mothers day lunch. They both enjoy Chinese food normally. This was the worst ever, rice that was hard old doughnuts, dried chicken of many kinds. Empty trays lacking have only scraps. I ordered a beer nd it was covered in chocolate cake. When I went to complain I got the I don't really understand nonsense and after nobody really eating anything the discount was $8. I'm disgusted. The only thing worth paying for were the drinks. What a mess on our Mother's Day lunch. Very disappointing for the mothers in this family today. Thanks for nothing read more

Food was awful and prices are high. My favorite place has went to crap. Lo main noodles are my favorite and they tasted freezer burnt and cold actually made me gag they were so terrible. 12.25 for crap food isn't something I like to pay for garbage food. read more

Visiting my boyfriend's family in Minnesota and was missing Asian food, so I demanded we come here! I want my rice!!! The price was fair, I think about 10$ for lunch buffet. Don't expect a Las Vegas grand buffet, you get what you paid for. There were plenty of options to choose from, I was happy, my boyfriend was happy - we ate our fill! The staff was nice, seated us promptly, kept our table clean and glasses filled, no complaints. Plenty of parking in the lot surrounding the restaurant. read more

Skip this place! Mashed potatoes, cocktail weiners, and what looked like a bad frozen pizza on a Chinese buffet? All the food was most likely from a box. If I could go back in time I would keep on driving and save myself the bad flavors. read more

Food tasted like it was sitting out all day. I'm pretty convinced a few of the items were from the day before and they put in the fridge, nuked, and put back out today. Gross read more

more so a 2.5 star. I remember eating there about 15 years ago and i remember the food tasting better and the area being better stocked, as well as soft serve ice cream! now the rice seems to be more bland where it seemed in my memories it had more flavor, several items were running low on the buffet, and prices are not that great of a buy. As well as more americAn items on there such as pizza and cheese sticks. The cheese in the cheese stick was completely hardened, not edible. The dessert selection looked decent but i would have liked the ice cream again. And just more so in favor of real chinese food in the bufffet not pizza and cheese stick and onion rings. If i wanted that i would have gone to walmart and got that instead. read more

Got there about 3 pm. Food was either cold or warm. Some were too sweet but the mashed potatoes were cracking from sitting and all bins were barely full if not empty. The dessert area was the best and all workers were sitting in area eating. Not happy at all and the same thing happened last year, so will not be coming again ever. read more

Went there for lunch with a couple good friends around 11:30 a.m. Friendly waitresses sat us down promptly. Food was fresh, tasty and quite the selection to choose from. Will definitely eat here again. read more
