    My husband and I love coming here! It's always clean and staff are friendly! Some of the food could use some more seasoning but overall I haven't had any issues and the best part is I can get up and get something else! I typically get a little bit of everything.

    We were so happy that we found this place looking for something else. So we came here by accident and I'm glad we did. We love the decor outside and inside and there's so many seating area. We were seated promptly after arriving by a nice host. Our server was the nicest lady. One more perk of coming to this restaurant. She also kept her area clean at all time. She was very attentive to all the patrons there. What about the food? We liked it. So much to choose from: sushi, seafood, soups, hotpot, hibachi, salad, kids friendly like pizza, nuggets, pasta, noodles, veggies, and desserts. I love seeing the Korean Short Ribs, crispy shrimp with head, and octopus tentacles. Those are my favorite and hard to find. They were well cooked and not overly salty. The hot pot option was in the soup area. If you are into crawfish, they had plenty of that. Sushi was good too. Didn't try the hibachi this time since we wanted something right away but there wasn't a long but the choices above kept us going. The dessert was decent. The flan was eggy, the scale sponges were moisture and airy. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be stopping a.

    It's a buffet with americanized chinese food. What is one expecting here? For me, it served it's purpose. I know what I am getting in to every time I go to an asian buffet. And this place was no different. It satisfied my lunch hunger. And the kicker? They were serving actual McDonald's Chicken Mcnuggets. How did they get these? Did someone go to Mickey D's and bring them back? Did they get a bag from the distributor? Either way, I was happy. Ice cream was good, too. Cookies & cream. Yum. For $18.06, for lunch with a beverage.

    Menu, Prices

    We come here every now and again. Sushi is my preference. The veggies were really over seasoned but it's a buffet- mostly over seasoned and not so healthy options are typical. See photo for updated menu prices!

    I have trouble passing up Chinese buffets, so when it was lunchtime and I had an hour until I needed to pick up my wife from her nearby dental appointment, I headed here! Not too busy on a weekday at 11:45, there were plenty of tables. The food on the steam tables appeared pretty fresh (or at least as fresh as it can be in this situation). Pretty solid for straight carbs with noodles and rice dishes, the usual protein heavy trays were a bit lacking. You could probably do better if you wanted to do the hibachi where you can put in as much meat or chicken as you like. But where China Buffet seems to excel is over at the sushi section. A very good selection and not just the boring ones. There was mackerel. And more. Hey, I took a pic. Service was good. My waiter was back and forth often to refill my water glass (you should really drink a lot of water at a Chinese buffet). I liked it. I'll try and be back!

It has that warm, lively feel that makes you want to hang out and enjoy your time instead of rushing through the meal. We did a wine flight to start, which was a fun way to try a few different pours, and everything paired really well with dinner. The highlight for me was the whole roasted fish. Crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and really clean, fresh flavor. Simple but done really well. Service was on point too -- friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and one I'd recommend if you're in Charlotte and want a solid dinner with great drinks and atmosphere.

They even still have the 120 year old pews! If you ask your server, you are likely to hear the entire story of the place. It's pretty amazing. They recently received a Michelin recommendation and it's totally deserved. It's a buffet, but most of the hot food is actually served by a person which is something that I particularly appreciate. (I really don't like touching the handles of spoons that hundreds of people have touched.) Some of the stuff is self serve but not any of the hot dishes. Absolutely everything I tried was outstanding. Like everything. There are a few things that they consider "pass around" which means that they are brought over to you by a server at random intervals. For everything else, you just help yourself. I went with a friend of mine who has a deep appreciation for a southern food. He was absolutely amazed. Honestly, I can't think of a better place to have chosen to eat in a short time I had in Charlotte. I've attached a picture of the menu. I tried just about everything. I wasn't disappointed in a single thing, and I was completely wowed by many of them. The servers were wonderful. Very friendly and very willing to talk to us about the history and the food items that were there. Highest recommendation!

Our server started pushing us to pay while we were still eating. I politely asked if I could pay at the front like I normally do, but she didn't speak English and became very pushy and rude. They began removing dishes from the table before closing time and before giving any kind of last call. I asked to speak with the manager, but when he arrived he also did not speak English, so there was no real way to properly explain the situation. At 9:01 pm we were basically told to leave. I completely understand restaurants have closing times, but there is a respectful way to handle it, usually by giving customers a heads-up and allowing them time to finish their meal instead of rushing them out the door. As someone who worked in restaurants when I was younger, I know that basic communication and courtesy are essential. What also felt uncomfortable was the atmosphere among the staff. The employees seemed extremely nervous and afraid to speak or explain anything, which made the whole situation feel strange and unsettling. It honestly gave the impression that they were scared to say the wrong thing or do anything outside of strict instructions, which was sad to witness. Overall, the food might be fine, but the service and the way the situation was handled made it a very disappointing experience.

We got a different sake which was DISGUSTING. Could barely drink it. After putting in our sushi order for AYCE, I let her know about my shellfish allergy and just asked that anything with lobster or crab be on a separate plate. She was very confused, apparently not knowing what shellfish was and went down the list of all fish asking what was safe.... One of my rolls was supposed to be a spicy salmon but came out just a regular salmon but I just ate it. The sushi itself was very good, I loved the abundance of special rolls they offer.

So, I…read morewill be close enough to stop by there after the doctor's appointment to hopefully get a container of noodles with broth to bring home for my dinner. Until recently, I was a regular at the buffet, my favorite buffet in the Charlotte area. However, lately I have been suffering from gout, so it makes no sense for me to go there. The broth for their seafood soup is fantastic, and I could certainly just have broth and noodles, so I decided to call there to see how much their big soup container of just broth and noodles would be. I've been surviving on food stamps and have to be very careful with my cash. The first call, the woman who answered the phone did not know what the cost would be and asked me to call back in 5 minutes, which I did. I explained that I only wanted broth and noodles, no seafood, no meat, no veggies. I was told that it would be $2.75, which I thought was fair, and so I went there and bought exactly that for $2.75, and it was very good! So, yesterday, Monday 10/20/25, I was close to the buffet again and decided to get another broth and noodles for $2.75. I get the same thing again, it is the same cashier as last Friday. She puts the soup in a bag and ties it up, and then attempts to charge me $4.98!!! WTF? I said no, you charged me $2.75 for the same thing three days before. It is ONLY broth and noodles. She had a "take it or leave it" attitude about it, and I left the soup there and left the building, maybe to never return again after that experience. And it was there lost because they aren't going to separate the broth from the noodles and put it back in the pot, so it was wasted. What a shame! I got home and had an avocado for dinner last night.

    Food was not fresh, like old reheated food. Place was run down. Staff was friendly.read more

Put out some fun decor on the tops of the booths. Make your restaurant into a place people naturally feel happy to be at.
