I went in today expecting it to be as bad as the reviews. It's not nearly as bad as these asshats are making it out to be. In fact, the hot and sour soup was perfect, most of the food wasn't perfect, Perhaps they can turn the heat up a bit more on the buffet pans. But all together the service was good, and the people were nice. The Chinese buffets are slim around here so "we the people" gotta give this one a little slack. This restaurant really could use some better paint, and decor, and perhaps some Chinese meditation music to drown out the asshats. Advice to the owner, never stop improving, and keep it up. I am a big fan of Chinese culture, and the food of course the Chinese woman. When we walk in to a Chinese restaurant we want to feel engulfed in another land of culture. read more

Food is very poorly done and much of the buffet isn't Chinese at all. Funny how on the day we were there for lunch (mid afternoon Saturday) The only food that tasted good and seemed to be done correctly was a pot roast. Cost was crazy for 3 of us to eat was $42.00, we could have eaten at a nice restaraunt for that!!! read more

The food was greasy, old, and not good. My chicken was hard. Their "lo main noodles was nasty and the crab Rangoons had a weird film it left behind on my tongue. There was a decent amount of selection. The service was okay but the man wasn't happy to even be there. The tea was spoiled the Mr.pib was flat. The bathroom had a broken toilet / the big stall didn't even lock!!!! WONT be going back! 0 Stars if I could!!! read more

The restaurant layout is very confusing and the food is not up to par with other restaurants that's cleanliness is not very good and they never had the stakes out read more

Great service very friendly , all tho food could be a bit better and wish there was more options but other then that it was good.

I love this place. Yes, some of the food is mediocre, but its a buffet for 13 dollars. And some of that food is GOOD. Don't tell me this place is bad if you haven't tried the chicken on a stick. Staff is nice too, never experienced the rudeness some people mention and I've been here multiple times. China buffet has a special place in my heart. read more

Almost everything was cold and hard. Most of it didn't appear to have been even stirred for hours. There was also a young girl chopping vegetables at a table in front - ungloved, touching her face and hair, getting up to take payments, and coming back to the vegetables. Never washing her hands or putting on gloves. There were many open drinks and half eaten food on the same table. I am shocked I didn't end up in the hospital. read more

Horrible place...made me and my husband sick...never again...even my tea was spoiled and the tiny woman at the register had a horrible attitude read more

Absolutely the WORST Chinese buffet I've ever been to. I read the negative reviews before I went, but decided to give it a shot anyway. All of the food was soggy and cold. I went during the lunch hour, so I figured at least some of it would be fresh... Nope! The fried rice was flavorless and cold. The noodles were actually hard like they had been sitting out for a LONG time, or not thoroughly cooked. I saw they had hibachi, but the flies around the raw meat just didn't sit well with me so I decided to pass. You have to get your own drinks, silverware, etc. as there are no waitresses. In all seriousness, go somewhere else. I ate about 5 bites of food and left. I was going to run through a drive-thru but I too nauseas to eat after that. $10 down the drain. read more

See all

Looking for cheap Chinese buffet? Then this is the place... Unfortunately, in all ways possible. The food was, well, sad. There wasn't much variety amongst dishes, and it seemed that we came on the tail end of lunch because it looked like it had been sitting out for awhile. Service? Attentive, when it came to your business, aka taking your money (and assuming that I will indeed pay for both my own and friend's lunch), and busing your table as you leave. Space? Very very open. You could host a wedding in this much room! It was also very clean with mirrors, banners and pictures adoring their walls. read more

This place is pretty dingy. It was dark. The food was very much not fresh. Hardly anyone working up front or in the dining area. Just a super uncomfortable experience and I won't be going back any time soon. read more

I decided to check this place out, despite its low overall rating, because the most recent reviewer reported new ownership and a good experience. I'm so glad I did! Granted, the appearance of the restaurant is dive-y, but in my experience, all the best places are dives! That proved true here, as well. Everything I tasted on the buffet was exceptionally tasty and fresh, with only one exception (the General Tso's chicken). But...I mean, come on! That's extremely good odds at a buffet, in my opinion! There were far too many options on this buffet for me to try everything I wanted to, so I look forward to a return visit soon. I've tried a handful of Chinese places in Columbus, and this one is by FAR the best! Service was prompt and I never wanted for a refill of my beverage. read more

The food looked like it had been sitting out all day. Half of it was old, stale, or cold. Definitely not worth the 10$ to play per person. On top of that, the staff weren't very friendly and hovered over your table while you ate. Definitely not going back. read more

make a second trip they will clear your table when you come back there is new people at your table happened more than once piss poor service

This is the first time I've been to this place and the food was great. I asked one of the employees if they changed owners or not and she said yes. But the best part was the food was hot and ready the employees where really nice plus, they would get refills fast and take your plate right when they spot them. The food was good and cheaper than any Chinese buffet I've every ate.For one sure thing is that I'll come back. read more

We like most Chinese Buffet in general, but this one by far, was the worst buffet I've ever been to. I'm surprised we didn't get sick tonight. Everything about this place is terrible... From the moment you walk in until you leave the door. Terrible place and terrible food. They don't even seem to care. We are definitely not going back to this place. It's too bad there are not good Chinese buffet in Columbus area. read more

It was an ok place to eat. We went for lunch and they had quite a bit on their buffet. There wasn't anyone to get our drinks and no one got us refills. The restrooms were not the best either. There were broken toilets and the door wouldn't lock. I really don't see us going back. read more

We tried this restaurant for a late lunch Food was plentiful, lots of variety and pretty tasty, though much of it was luke warm by 2 when we arrived. read more

The food here is always hot and ready. Let's all come here with friends and family and enjoy good Chinese food.

This place has been running downhill for a long while. I was excited to see the remodeled sign on the outside of the building. My excitement dropped instantly when we got inside, I couldn't tell that anything was different at all. The food on the buffet was all old and stale tasting. The staff was pouring drinks out of 2 liters instead of using the soda fountain. I decided a few years ago that I wasn't going back. The remodeled sign made me try it again but now again I will not be back again. It's a shame because I love China buffets but there isn't a good one in the town of Columbus, IN. read more

Food looked like it was reheated from yesterday. Definitely not worth the $10. Place looked dingy. We won't be coming back.

For the love of my Lord...do not eat here. Wasn't able to give zero stars. Host sleeping upon arrival...have to pay first...now I know why. If you still don't believe me, check out the men's room and let me know if your still hungry? Trucks top restrooms are nicer. they put new food in old sauce thats still in pan. Old lady cleaning gives you death stare nonstop...I have not one good thing to say...how can you mess up a rangoon? read more

Awful awful awful. Food had been sitting out so long, it was dried up and stuck to the pans. When fresh food was finally brought out, it had a moldy taste to it. Chicken tastes freezer burnt. Atmosphere was dirty and unpleasant. read more

At a price of $9/person, the quality and selection was not bad for what you are paying for. The buffet was clean. The dining room was clean. The bathroom was clean. There was a very attentive staff member who kept drinks filled and dishes cleared. We arrived at 3:45pm and there was a decent selection. The last time we went, about a year ago, I would have given one star so I saw definite improvement in all areas. read more

Food looked like it had been sitting out for hours, there was barely anything in the heat trays. We payed $30 for the three people, the food was displeasing, one worker followed us around the shop and didn't even greet us she just made us feel very awkward. Another worker was on her bluetooth headset talking very loudly most of the time as we were trying to down the stale tasting food. There are so many other China buffets in Columbus that this place should have to compete with. They had nothing to show for that, all in all the food was gross, the workers were weird or just annoying, and I wasted my money. read more

I was hoping for someplace with some flavor but this was not it. I am not sure how you get General Tsao's chicken with no flavor but they managed it. It wasn't even hot. The tastiest thing on the menu was the Diet Coke. Sorry guys, but until you start giving your food some flavor besides bland, I won't be back. read more

I love Chinese food, and I've at at a lot of Chinese buffets. As you know, most of theses places have similar entrees. This place is disgusting! Some of the food looked like it had sat out on the bar all day, while other food tasted like they have been putting food out there from yesterday! And all of us are feeling sick after eating there! Hopefully we won't have to spend the night at a hospital. My advice to you is keep on driving and go to McDonald's or anywhere else instead! Don't waste your time or money! Someone should really send the heath department out there on a daily basis! Nuf said! read more

It's difficult to find a good Chinese buffet anyway but this one doesn't even try! The food is always nearly room temperature and most all of the meats are questionably done or filled with gristle. Not a good buffet. read more

Bad service, barely warm food that had little in common with its labeling. Just not good.

Wish I could leave a O this place was horrible. Showed up at 12:30 for lunch and all the food looked as if it were cooked the day before. Everything was cold, food that should be crunchy was chewy, food that should be chewy was crunchy. I basically paid $ 15.73 for An adult a 3 year old and a 6 year old. To eat bland cold food that wasn't worth feeding my dog. read more
