Exactly what you want in a classic Chinese buffet - plenty of choices, fresh food, and a little something for everyone. Everything I tried was great, from the hot entrees, fresh sushi, and desserts to finish it off. The trays stayed well stocked and the food tasted fresh, not like it's been sitting. Service was attentive for a buffet setting - plates were cleared quickly and drinks were filled fast. Casual, family-friendly atmosphere.

We go here for the seafoods and sushi. Been here a couple of times now. Service is alright and people are generally just doing their job as you would expect in an All-You-Can-Eat place. The kids enjoy the ice cream.

Extra charge

You should stay away from this restaurant for a number of reasons. The first reason is that the food is not authentic. The restaurant is managed by Asians but all the food is cooked by Mexicans. During lunch time, loud Tejano music was blasting in the restaurant from a cheap radio at the sushi counter. Sorry but the ambiance sucks. The food is horrible. Observation...when a Chinese restaurant doesn't have Asian customers, that's usually a red flag. No matter what time I've visited in the past, the meat for many of the chicken dishes came from bad parts (gristles, etc.), is old, and covered with heavy sauce to mask the problems. I've also noticed that the cashiers will cheat you if they suspect you're not paying attention. I was upset that I was charged for a tip the last time I was there. Especially since I had take out and on the copy I signed for, I made sure that I didn't offer one. I saw the problem once I got home. Although I wasn't happy, I figured I'd give the restaurant one last time a few months later. The results? The food was even worst and a different cashier charged me with dinner prices even though it was early lunch time. After being cheated twice, I'm guessing this isn't an accident and I don't have the patients to argue over a few dollars. I highly suggest you avoid this place.

I was craving Asian buffet for a long while, and they cravings were definitely satisfied at China Buffet. It was super busy, and a little chaotic, hinting at this place's popularity among the locals. We had a lot from salad, to fried chicken, wanton, fish, sushi, and more. Most, if not all, of the foods were at the right temperature (warm or cold). The savoury dishes were great, but the deserts were surprisingly pretty good too. We really enjoyed the whole meal.

Come hungry, China buffet does not joke around when it comes to buffets. The variety of dishes was impressive, with a mix of classic favorites like sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, chicken and broccoli, alongside seafood options like flounder, clams and crawfish just to name a few. The dessert selections were mediocre. The flavors were typical of buffets like this, as not everything was a winner and some dishes were not seasoned well and some dishes were only luke warm. The staff replenished the food quickly when they were running low. One of the highlights was the made-to-order stir-fry and soup noodle station, where you can customize your own dish with a wide range of vegetables and proteins. There was also a limited sushi selection which was surprisingly good for a buffet. The service was great and they cleared used plates quickly, and drinks were refilled without needing to ask. Now for the price you pay either for lunch or dinner, the value is unbeatable.

The restaurant is very clean, and the servers are extremely attentive. For me, the options were not as fresh or tasty as I would expect, and as I've experienced that other Asian buffets in the area. The sushi options, even considering the fact that it is a Chinese buffet rather than a Japanese buffet, were still extremely limited. Every single option was imitation crab, with no options for fresh real seafood. The General Tso's chicken was just OK as were the egg rolls - just tough overcooked or over fried pieces. I wasn't terribly impressed with the chicken wings, but they weren't bad. Overall, I felt that it was a bit overpriced for what I got.

I love going here if I'm craving for seafood and real crabs. I also love their sesame balls and ice cream. Wide selection of food items. You'll get your money's worth if you know what to splurge on eating in a buffet restaurant. Aside from the usual Chinese food, they have sushi, hibachi, fruit and salad bar, soup, etc. Service is good. Staff by the sushi bar are super friendly. Plenty of tables and can accommodate a big group. You can also order takeout food which you pay by the pound. Come hungry!

I came here recently with my wife to get lunch and upon entering greeted by a friendly and professional staff member immediately brought us to our table. The entire restaurant was very clean tables and chairs. The food was all fresh and a great variety of items available. Hot food, cold salad bar and dessert. My favorites were the sesame, chicken, Korean chicken, yellow vegetable fried rice . Everything tasted great and was not bland. They also have a variety of sushi which was obviously made fresh and tasted very good. The guy making the sushi was very friendly upon entering that area and asked if we had any questions about anything. Exiting the restaurant we had a thank you from the hostess on our way out. China buffet is a hidden gem tucked away on big tree way. I would highly recommend!

We were staying at the nearby Fairfield Inn when we noticed all the cars at China Buffet and decided to try it out. The intricately carved cork artwork in China Buffet could easily be overlooked if you were really hungry and focused on the food. I liked that there was a nice mix of people and noticeably 3-4 tables of Asian customers. The food was a nice mix of Chinese-American options, Sushi, and Mongolian BBQ style grill. I was pleasantly surprised by some very Chinese dishes that I didn't expect to see at a Chinese buffet. I liked that there was a buffet attendant that monitored the food that was out. My hubby was impressed by the big white rice cooker that he had to take a picture of it.

I had been craving multiple types of Chinese food, so I decided to pick up a friend and go to a chinese buffet. I felt overwhelmed by the number of people once we walked in and should have left right then. We stayed, though, and were seated quickly. It is lovely decor, but that was all the ambiance I could enjoy. Trying to get food felt like it was an Olympic sport, dodging kids and trying to get the good seafood before it was gone. It was an impossible task. People piled multiple plates at once with crab legs, leaving the rest of us with sad, salty, little leftover pieces. Everything was dirty and in disarray. I felt bad for the staff. It felt like they had given up trying to keep things clean or replace food, dishes, and silverware, and i don't blame them. Most of the food looked steaming hot, but by the time you doged and weaved your way back to the table, it was ice cold and soggy. The only good things were the hibachi rice and the butter shrimp. However, I will say I did not make a plate of raw food to be cooked like some others did, and I should have because everything else was just disappointing. This is why I have left three stars instead of one. Because they do have a fresh food option, but I felt too overwhelmed to make it and wait for my food to be cooked in the midst of the hustle and bustle. I just wanted to get out of there. I have not been to a buffet in at least 3 years, and now I remember why. I won't be back. I'd rather have more limited food options and pay a bit more for some peace and quiet and fresh food.

Desert plate

My husband and I have a quarterly date night at this place- he LOVES the squid salad. I am not one for seafood, but I enjoy the hibachi bar. It's a great way to balance out the Chinese food! I don't know about you, but Chinese food can feel a little heavy. The hibachi bar is a great way to add some fresh veggies to the meal and balance it out. But of course, I had to finish dinner with a small plate of desert. The service is quick and the prices are reasonable for having a buffet, sushi bar, and hibachi bar. I only wish the buffet was a little bigger.

About to grab some Chinese food with my lovely better half!
Michael S.

I'll preface this review by saying I've not been to a Chinese buffet since 2018, and all I could remember was "meh food but it was all you could eat." Also, I'm reviewing this place as what it is, which is not P.F. Chang's or an eatery in Macao, Honk Kong, or Guangzhou. The Bad: The booth tables are weirdly tall. Not unusable or even uncomfortable to use, but as soon as I sat down, I knew my seat was short or the table was tall. It might have just been where I was sitting, but take that for what it's worth. The Good: The selection! Lawdy lawdy, it's huge! I posted some photos. I tried to post some videos but can't. There's the same fare you'd expect, such as orange chicken and fried rice, and of course the dessert and salad tables. But there are also other selections such as steamed flounder, which was so delicious. Nothing I had was bad, actually, and I quite enjoyed the food I had. Sushi. To be fair, it's as good as any typical Japanese restaurant you might go to. Plus, they will whip you up something special if you ask. Nice! Hibachi. There are 4 meat selections (beef, pork, shrimp, and faux crab) plus noodles, peppers, and such. There are also several sauce options posted on the glass where they cook your food. Just let them know what you want. Service. Not more than 5 minutes went by at any time before the server was back around, making sure we were good. We were there at around 1:30, and the place was empty, so that was nice.

We've had amazing Chinese food in San Francisco Chinatown when we lived there during our post…read moregraduate studies, and have to say this place measures up! Best we've had yet in the Triad area by a long shot. First off, the online ordering process is super easy, and the estimated time for pick up was spot on. Highly recommend ordering online beforehand. The place was slammed, packed in like sardines on a Saturday evening. Everyone waiting for orders, and even if you don't order prior, the wait would still be worth it. This place was a well oiled machine, everyone knowing exactly what to do and how to pump out stellar authentic Chinese food quickly and efficiently. Flavorful dishes, authentic spices and sauces, juicy meat, perfectly cooked noodles and rice...you name it, this place does it right. Crispy scallion chicken is the bomb! Each and every other dish we had was top notch, including the pork egg foo young, chicken lo mein, house special fried rice (chicken pork and shrimp). And can't leave out the perfectly fried pork egg rolls...taste overload. Can't wait to come back and try more of this amazing and truly authentic Chinese joint.

Not even a foot of snow can stop me from getting to this place. When I tell you there's 30 people…read morewaiting inside for food, both phones ringing, and regardless of the weather... That kitchen is packed with people cooking up the absolute best Chinese food and takeout in the Triad. It doesn't get better than this folks. This is currently, and always has been, the best spot to get your fix. Even my family members from NY who have access to amazing Chinese takeout on every corner agree. Everything is delicious, but make sure you get enough of their scratch made pork egg rolls to have one with you meal, and one for the air fryer to go with your leftovers. They are addicting. Try the crispy scallion chicken, along with your favorites. Golden Wok forever!

Stopped in today for a late lunch. First impression: This isn't your typical Chinese food joint. I…read morewas impressed by the visuals. Plus it was super clean. Not sure how old the interior photos are on their Yelp reviews but looks better in person. Dude running the place was waiting on tables, answering the phones, taking orders at the front, bossing people around in the back and bringing the food out of the kitchen and serving it HOT! He was a one man show today and killing it! Plus he was so nice. About the food. I ordered an Eggroll and Curry Chicken with fried rice. The eggroll was not the best I've had but it was good. It tasted fresh and no signs of the red pork that you sometimes get (thumbs up).The Curry Chicken sauce was really good. The chicken was nice and tender, the vegetables were fresh and crisp. My only complaint would be to not serve green peppers with the yellow curry sauce. It's my own personal preference because peppers give me heartburn. I will go back for sure to try some other dishes and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for relaxing ambiance and fresh, delicious Chinese cuisine.

We didn't order them this time, but they're definitely on the list for a future visit. Everything we did get was packed with flavor. The crab rangoons and pork dumplings arrived hot and fresh, and the Dan Dan noodles, orange chicken, chicken chow fun, and garlic beef were all very tasty. One of the biggest positives here is consistency of flavor, something that's been surprisingly hard to find with a lot of Chinese takeout spots we've tried in the area. The only real miss for us is that egg foo young isn't on the menu, which my wife loves and always hopes to find. That aside, this is a super solid takeout option for flavorful, authentic, and fresh Chinese food.

China's Best is my favorite takeout Chinese restaurant in Greensboro! Like always, their service…read morewas prompt and the food was ready when I came to pick it up. Because it is a takeout restaurant, there we won't benches to sit on. That does not bother me because I wanted to relax at home while I eat. Everything I've ever ordered from them has been fantastic! On this trip, I decided to try something new. I order the Happy Family (Lobster; scallops,shrimp,crabmeat,beef: chicken,pork tender,broccoli mushroom, baby cor, veg. in special sauce; w.White Rice) but paid an upcharge to change the rice to onion fried rice w/ egg and bean sprouts. I did not regret it. The dish was very flavorful and the rice offered the perfect flavor and texture balance. I will definitely be ordering it again!

This restaurant has been in town for years. I went to it once during pandemic because Golden Dragon…read moreon battleground Avenue was closed. Let me be clear for those who think that this is New York Chinese cuisine. It most certainly is not. If you want your standard fair good authentic Chinese cuisine, go to Golden Dragon. That restaurant is closed because I believe the family goes on vacation for about a month a year. They will reopen on July 21, 2026 Good for them. They work hard and they give their customers quality service. Golden Dragon has been around for decades and has always given its customers great food and service. Since Golden Dragon was closed, I decided to decided to try China's Best yesterday to order a family meal. I did it online to avoid any confusion on what we wanted. And was told that there would be a 15 minute wait. Lo and behold, we get there and we wait an additional 20 minutes. When we come home to eat the meal, virtually, nothing is edible with the exception of premade egg rolls and the orange chicken. The pork fried rice we ordered was substandard. I have never had boneless barbecue ribs that were so overly salty and sweet in my life; not to mention being overcooked and having a slightly burnt taste. The fried chicken wings were overcooked and hard. The sweet-and-sour chicken ordered was overcooked and hard; with only a half container of sweet-and-sour sauce included. There was no soy sauce or duck sauce included with the meal whereas usually Chinese restaurants put those condiments out for customers to get at their discretion. I don't know about you, but I like money. So when I pay $56 for a takeout order which I paid gas for to travel to get; only to find that it was an unacceptable mess of a meal, I tend to to appear, to say the least, disappointed. Whoever cooked this meal saw what they were giving their customer and appeared to be completely fine with short changing that customer. Unacceptable! There are plenty of restaurants in Greensboro to go to who strive to give their patrons a quality meal. So I give the biggest word of caution to those entertaining the idea of going to China's Best. DON'T GO!

In all the years we have been getting takeout, never had an issue with the accuracy of our orders. They have nice sized crispy breaded wings.

Food cost are up everywhere. 2 combo plates, small order of wings, and wontons set me back $42.

I'll be honest--I avoided China Cafe for a while because of the older Yelp reviews. But last night…read moreI needed something quick, ordered on DoorDash, and I'm really glad I gave them a chance. Everything I ordered was actually solid. The lo mein? Chef's kiss. The noodles were cooked perfectly, nice and saucy, and they even offered it spicy--which I've never been offered before. The meat was tender and well-seasoned. Personally, I wouldn't mind a little more cabbage in it, but that's just preference. The fried chicken wings really surprised me. Usually I end up throwing wings in the air fryer to crisp them up more--but not these. They were already crispy, fresh, and flavorful straight out the container. Now let me talk about the sweet and sour chicken... I've NEVER been a fan. I always thought it looked too breaded and soggy, so I avoided it for years. When I opened my order and realized that's what I got, I was low-key annoyed but decided to try it anyway. And wow--that ended up being my favorite item. The sauce was perfect, and once I dipped it myself, it completely changed my mind about sweet and sour chicken. The soup was also really good--super flavorful with that rich broth and those sesame oil "gold spots" on top (you know it's good when you see that). The only thing I wasn't big on was the plain fried rice--but that's more of a personal preference since I usually don't go for plain fried rice anyway. Next time I'll try the house fried rice. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised. This was a great experience, especially for a last-minute order. I'll definitely be ordering again--and next time I'll come back with pictures because this was a spur-of-the-moment decision. China Cafe, you proved me wrong
