I can say without a doubt this is the best Chinese buffet I have been to. Certainly the five star equivalent of Chinese Buffets. $12.99 Sunday lunch/dinner includes fresh sushi that is surprisingly very good...go ahead, don't be afraid. I think my husband ate 19 pieces of Nigiri and he is still alive to tell about it :) I will admit I am a little phobic when it comes to lots of hands touching my food ....but the space was clean, orderly, and all of the food very fresh. They were constantly turning things over and that made me feel good. If you just can't do the buffet thing they have freshly-made sushi (as noted above), hibachi, and even soups that can be made-to-order. Note, This is a very kid-friendly restaurant and there were tons of little ones running all over...if that's not your jam I would stick to visiting when the kiddos are in school. read more

This seemed like a good idea from reading all these reviews. I was looking forward to eating thier sushi. After my first dish trying out a few types of the sushi I got up to take a look around what else they had and realized my stomach was hurting. I took a small plate of a few things and sat down across my husband who looked at me and said he is so bloated he can barely eat. He mentioned that many of these places but baking soda in the food to make you feel full and not eat as much. I hadn't heard that theory.... But the way my stomach felt, I thought for sure something was wrong. I left there so bloated, without being able to eat much. Perhaps it was because all of thier food is covered in thick, heavy sauces, but either way..... Save you self and go somewhere else. It's not worth the $12.99. read more

So i read the reviews and went anyway. But, if I could rent a time machine I'd 1) Kill hitler and 2) go back in time and tell myself to not go to this restaurant. It is an experience that I wish I could erase. Everything tastes like limp soap. The sushi is ok (but if you're dropping 12.99 for Sushi you could do better somewhere else). The hibachi bar was promising, but the meat on the bar is frozen and meat that goes from frozen to cooked tastes horrible. I literally had nothing there that I enjoyed and it made me feel horrible. Don't go. It's easy to read reviews and go, 'Ill take the chance.' but I promise, it'll have you wishing for a time machine. read more

Not like it use to be. The food quality has gone down completely, some tasted like they were heated in a microwave. Unfortunately so has the service. I asked the manager walking around the food area for a crableg cracker, since i had been there 20 minutes with no drink and had not met the waitress at all, only the host, his response was ask ur waitress, like if he couldn't get it. After waiting 10 minutes, the service finally comes and I ask for one. She goes to counter where the manager is and grabs one. it's so dirty that I am shocked she didn't even see it. I waited 7 minutes (I was annoyed at this pointed and kept time) and the waitress wouldn't come so I finally went to the counter to ask for a clean or if they could wash it. Not one apology, just a stare and like if it was an inconvenience. They don't care. They don't care if the food is from the day before or if the plates and utensils are dirty. I do admit $35 for dinner is cheap. But there is other places cheaper and better. read more

By far my most favorite place to go to get a buffet! The sushi is always amazing and so many different choices. The buffet is always full and ranges from delicious general tsos chicken to pizza and chicken nuggets. The hibachi is amazing you pick your own ingredients and sauce and they make it in front of you! I've always enjoyed my food and service!!!! read more

Delicious food with low price. What else I can except? Plus this is the first Chinese Buffet with Pho inside! I ate 4 bowls myself!

Out of all, the many.... Chinese buffets, I have had the uh... Uh... I have visited, I hate this one the least. The made to order Lo-Mein, is pretty nummy, a bit on the salty, msg side but nummy. The salmon is also eatable, salty, Yes but this IS Chinese food. Everything is a tad salty, jaja. The vegetable fried rice has always been decent, along with the spring rolls, green beans, and fried plantains. Oh the French Fries were surprisingly crunchy. Meow. read more

I went into this experience not very excited, as Chinese buffets aren't really my thing. But, the things you do for love I guess. As far as buffets go, this place seemed pretty clean and the staff were friendly. My favorite part was the scoop your own ice cream section where they had a whole tub of mint chocolate chip waiting for me. Just glad I didn't know about this little section before my meal. I am a child. I pretty much stuck to the salad bar and sushi. I was impressed with the sushi selection and they had someone rolling it right there. There was also a hibachi station where you bring the chef the ingredients you want. I thought most of the hot food items either had a weird taste or texture so I ended up wasting a lot. read more

One of the best buffets in town very good prices for dine in or take out (i do both) alot of food to choose from and it always fresh once a pan is empty they refill within minutes read more

We wanted this to be our next Chinese buffet spot but was underwhelmed by it all. I get it, Chinese buffets aren't always the best but since losing the one we loved it's been hard to find one good enough to replace it. There was ample selections and the sushi was pretty good. Worth getting the fresh hibachi section. It was worth the try but can't claim we will be back. read more

Went here a couple months ago when they first opened . Large selection, loved the noodle bar , but won't be going back until there sanitation grade is an A read more

China Buffet - Beef pho - Buffets Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is my favorite Chinese buffet in Charlotte. You want pho... they got it. You want sushi... they got it. You want hibachi... they got it. I get takeout from here all the time. A little sushi, seaweed salad, rice noodles with shrimp and vegetable, and throw a few dumplings in there for less than $6! That's a good lunch! The already prepared dishes range in variety from blue crabs to pizzas. I tend to stick to fresh raw items like sushi and hibachi. Great place for big parties and the wifi is stable. read more

Went here for dinner, ended up getting food poisoning. My friend didn't get sick and he didn't eat the sushi and mussels which I did.

Located on the expanding Independence expressway, the parking lot can sometimes be difficult to get into, but the overall location is fairly ideal. The décor is modern and comparatively stylish, there are no cheesy Asian wallpaper or cheap paper lanterns. It is kept neat and clean and the service is decent. The regular buffet selection is pretty good but the hibachi selection is even better. Their chefs are willing to cater to reasonable requests. Don't pile items on your plate during your first pass just based on looks. Take small samples and find out what you like best. The staff is very efficient at removing your finished plates. I recommend the grilled salmon, the crawfish, the Maryland-style crabs, the grilled pork chops and the beef with broccoli. The mussels are okay but very small, the BBQ ribs are adequate and the frog legs are not bad, but also not great. Taste everything before you season it. A lot of the grilled meats are already a little salty. The sushi is very good for a buffet-style restaurant and continuously prepared throughout lunch and dinner. The tempura and California rolls were fresh and the spicy salmon and tuna were good with some wasabi and soy added. The seaweed salad is excellent and they have a couple of sashimi options as well. The sushi is not as fancy and first rate as a proper sushi restaurant, but if you are craving a lot of sushi at a baseline price, I definitely recommend it. They also offer a take-out option priced by the pound. Stay away from heavy sauces and bone-in meats and the cost will be comparable to standard takeout. read more

China Buffet - China buffet - Buffets Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I ordered take out from China Buffet via GrubHub on New Year's Eve and while delivery was prompt, the items delivered were not what I ordered and were all awful, inedible. The veg. rolls were the size of my small finger and soggy. The 'fried' chicken wings were a greyish brown and soggy. I did not order soup but got the most bland egg drop soup I have ever had. I ordered Shrimp in Lobster Sauce combo and received very, very dry pork fried rice instead. The last item-House Lo Mein had mushy shrimp and rubbery beef. At the very least dreadfully overcooked. I tossed the food out and am out a hefty amount of money including the delivery charge for nothing...and no tasty New Year's dinner for me. Ugh! read more

Absolutely horrible. If you are in the mood for vegetable lo mein that is literally cabbage & onion lo mein then this is the place for you. Sesame chicken was incredibly dry. (How is a dish with sauce DRY??) Save your money and go somewhere else read more

I'll start by saying I'm not much of a buffet person. I've always found them not quite clean enough...way too many kids messing with the food....so so good. But a friend had coupons and treated me for my bday. I have to admit I was impressed with the cleanliness and definitely the food. Everything was good. The staff never let the food get too low before they filled up more. I had mostly seafood. The crawfish (in the shell) was tasty. I've never had it fresh like that. It's messy but fun to eat. The bourbon chicken was very tasty. The soft shell crab was okay. But I blame myself. I was so determined to get the little pieces of meat out of the crawfish, by the time I got to the crab, I didn't feel like messing with more shells. The soups and hibachi grill looked good but I didn't try. That'll be next time. I got take out from the buffet and they charge by the pound. 4.99/lb. I found it very cheap considering how much I got. They have dessert also. Cookies, cake and ice cream. My only complaint with the ice cream was the scoopers were all in a faucet with running water to keep them "clean" I guess. I know there probably isn't any other way to keep them clean if it's self serving but I was a tad grossed out. I saw remnants of ice cream in the faucet. Other than that, I really liked the place and will go back. read more

Been here a few times places usually relatively clean food isn't always the freshest not a bad place to go for the price but there definitely are some other options specially in this area read more

Worth every penny for the fresh hibachi, sushi, and pho bar. Everything else is pretty typical for a Chinese buffet.

The Sushi is fresh and really good! Pork Fried Rice, Fried Fish, Fried Shrimp, General Tsos, and Sesame Chicken is what I have had and it's all good. Very affordable prices too! It's my new go to place! I enjoy the to go take out. read more

Their soup bar's noodles are very stale, but they have good broth. The buffet itself is nothing impressive, and the sushi is definitely frozen fish, but if you want sushi for a cheap price, it's a good deal. Everything else is your typical Chinese buffet style foods, lots of fried foods and honestly not really worth the stomach cramps after. read more

My boyfriend and I go here everytime him or I are in town. This place to me can kind of b3 a hit and miss at times. The last time we went this week it was kind of a miss. Didn't enjoy it as much as I did before. However I did enjoy the station were you can create your own noodles. read more

The decor awesome. I've eaten here 5 times and was never disappointed. The food quality is good and the taste is excellent. Not too pricey for such a nicely decorated place. my servers were all very good. The place is very clean. Finding the entrance was the hardest thing with a bit of a walk around to it and that oddly placed wall outside... But it is definitely worth the effort. read more

Teriyaki chicken tasted like rubber. Water tasted like kerosene. Very expensive for a buffet..more expensive than Golden Corral.. and mostly seafood. read more

Great nice surprise! We have been eating at many Chinese buffet places across the country. This is the best in terms of value. We had lunch here, less than $10 per person with great variety of dishes including fish, shrimps, scallops, eel ... they also have high quality ice cream selections, which we really enjoy. We will go there again for sure. read more

Took a party of 8 for an 18-year-old's birthday dinner. Had to stack empty plates on a table nearby. Never asked for drink refills. Sushi bar was dismal, on a Saturday nite no less. Food off steam tables okay but nothing to write home about. Cold shrimp on the salad bar was very good but not worth $13 a plate by any stretch. Will not return. read more

Well, we were fed well. Couldn't eat any more. But don't expect anything authentic. Wish the service was a little more attentive. I was thirsty. Might go back if I'm in the area. read more

Everything is great here all the food is fresh and clean. I always end up coming back here when in a pinch. The only bad comment that I have with them is not the food but the way they calculate the check. I have coupons for $1 off from yelp. But they take the $1 off after they calculated the tax and everything. Note: you are not supposed to do that. You are supposed to take $1 off the menu price then calculate the tax. I mean it's just $.10 difference. But it's just a matter of ethics and doing things the right way read more

The building is beautiful and the staff is very nice and welcoming. The food is par/ subpar if you judge the look of the building you would think the food was 5star. It's decent at best unfortunately. 14$ for a dinner buffet...I'll take it read more

Hidden gem on independence! Best Chinese buffet I've had in Charlotte. Hibachi made to order from the buffet, huge variety of sushi and endless normal buffet option. They also have hand scooped ice cream along with cheesecake, chocolate cake and many other dessert options. All for $12.99! Such a great deal with great service. This will be our new buffet spot. (And that's coming from a staunch Ru-San's buffet supporter.) read more

I was having dinner with my family and this is the best buffet i have been too! Clean, service was respectful, their food was amazing especially that crab!! And the sushi was delicious! can't wait for another perfect experience with my boyfriend coming here! GO EAT HERE! read more

Fried blue crabs were fantastic, so were the stir-fry shrimps and clams. The rest were just so-so. If you like noodles, have them cook it for you via 'hibachi', so it would come out freshly cooked however the yellow noodles were stale. Just so-so buffet except for the seafood. We were orverchaged too, had the 11.99 for 2 people. We had the 2 off coupon, yet for some reason, after having paid, we realized they did not took it off, despite telling us it was. Dishonest! read more

After realizing that Tin Tin is a steep $23/person for dinner on a weeknight, China Buffet was our next choice for a friend's birthday dinner. For $12/person, you can't beat this place! Pretty standard Chinese buffet food, but it was tasty! I especially liked the lo mein and teriyaki chicken. I will be back, especially for the to-go option (4.99/lb for lunch, 5.99/lb for dinner)! read more

Had lunch here yesterday. This is one of the best Chinese/sushi buffets, if not the best I have tried. The hot food I can't really speak on because the sushi was so darn good. The selections were numerous and fresh. They also have seaweed salad, squid and octopus salads which were all very good. Not your run of the mill buffet sushi by any means. Dessert was good with a selection of real ice cream that you scoop yourself. The restaurant is large, clean and newly renovated. Highly recommend! read more

I would not give them this one star, I went in for carry out I was looking at the menu and ask the lady that if they had chicken and rice combo and she said the restaurant across the street has combo we dont have that, they need to put her cleaning tables, she is not professional at ALL, I spent over 30.00 and she didn't want to give me any silverware or duck sauce, she had an attitude when I ask for fortune cookies and she gave me ONE and it was STALE!! This is not an elegant place like they try to make it, the lady at the register messes it up completely, I did not sit in there and it and I will definitely no be going back!! the food was NOT GOOD ON TOP OF THAT!!The AMAZING WOK IS WAY BETTER good atmosphere and professional people, should have went where I knew better that is what I get for trying to give other people business!! read more

Usually this place is fantastic but service was definitely not up to par this evening. I usually get takeout sushi from the buffet but when I arrived the sushi buffet was about 75 percent empty. I asked the sushi chef if they were making more sushi and he looked at me like he really didn't care (there was probably a language barrier but the 7 empty plates and me pointing at them should be a universal understanding). I then asked the hostess she looked at the bar from 30 feet away and said they were making more. We sat for about 10 minutes waiting while they rolled sushi. They finally replenished some but for a buffet I had about 5 choices out of a normal 15. It really wasn't busy although it was dinner time. I will be back because this was a first time issue but hopefully it doesn't happen again. read more
