They have plenty of variety. The food is very fresh especially the seafood which is something that I'm always cautious of. They have a Mongolian grill if making your own stirfry is your thing. The sushi did not have too much of a selection however what they did have was tasty. The fruit and dessert bar was also very good. Pricing is not bad at all. I've been to other places that were more expensive with mediocre food. I will definitely continue to come to this establishment with my family. read more

I saw this place had an overall three stars I said let me give it a chance. The food had no flavor it was greasy it was the worst buffet I have ever eaten at in my life. They put just enough food for one or two people at a time the sushi had no raw fish it was all the cheap crab imitation. Like I said I was give the police a chance don't bother coming here the food is terrible do not waste your time read more

I get Takeout from here all the time, service is great and the food for being a buffet is pretty good. Tea is amazing though.

Fair food. Ate here during the pandemic they had gloves to but I'm so that you don't have to touch the handles of the food directly. Staff swept the floor after every guest and were very attentive to us as we ate. There's different pricing depending on the day and time that you go so be aware. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious for a great price! The fried wontons are perfectly crisp, the seafood is so fresh, the egg drop soup was on point and the teriyaki chicken and veggies were excellent!!! Seriously great food!!! read more

Oh, goodness. If you want to talk about a restaurant that has gone downhill in the last few years, this China Buffet is the damn poster child. I don't understand, but it just seems like the owners have given a negative amount of effort to this joint. The place is dirty, dingy, the carpets are gross, the booths come UP off of the floor, and the fabric used in the booths are just ripping at the seams. I also really dislike how the service station is smack dab in the middle of restaurant. I almost feel like the waiters stare at you while you're eating. Silently judging you. Would I go there again? Only if I was really desperate to eat Chinese food in copious amounts (which is pretty rare). Owners, this place needs LOVE! Love it and people will come flocking back! It just screams, "I hate myself, so I'm going to go eat at the China Buffet" right now. read more

Very good food and friendly service. They are complying with the COVID-19 rules and providing plastic utensils and still letting you choose anything you want from the buffet, but they serve it for you. You simply walk to the buffet, as you would normally do, and let them know what you want. Not an inconvenience at all. They are taking precautions for your safety. The food was good as always and the staff was super nice. Would definitely visit again. By the way, the coconut shrimp was awesome. read more

Ugh. Horrible horrible horrible. Only buffet around but oh God how horrible. The food is cold, theres a literal fight to get to the warm food they just put out. Very loud, overcrowded. Not worth the headache. read more

Very good for a buffet. I go here often. The place is always busy and the food is always fresh.

DO NOT EAT HERE. If I could put 0 stars for this restaurant I would. I was gladly eating my dinner tonight with my friends and one of the them found a maggot in their drink, yes a maggot. And we taked to the manager, he said it was no big deal and tried to just give him another drink. Then accused us of lying and even made us wait to if anyone recognized us in the restaurant. As if that isn't enough a regular customer decided to try and get involved and went on to tell me and my friend that he will knock us out. I am a 20 year old woman that got threaten By a regular customer of theirs. Needless to say I walked out with a police escort just in case this man followed us. And to make that even better the food was horrible, dry, cool, and not worth money at all. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

Awesome！！！My family and I have eaten here many time . This restaurant provides good service. the price is quite reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

See all

I seriously love this place, I've been coming here for years now. I usually come around lunch time, it's definitely a treat I don't get very often but when I know I have the time I'll make the trip since I live in Woodbridge now. I love their crab Rangoon/cheese wontons, ranch chicken, coconut chicken & crab salad the best. The service is always very friendly & on top of water when your glass is almost empty. I'll return for years to come as long as they're open lol read more

China Buffet - My favorite things here! Ranch chicken, cheese wontons, coconut chicken, crab salad, green beans, stuffed clams, shrimp & broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

This place should be shut down it's so bad. The food is over cooked and they never fill the crab legs. I went there for 30 mins at 6pm during dinner and they literally put 6 legs in the dish the whole time. Unreal. read more

This China Buffet is smaller than the other ones I have been to, but it was not bad at all. There was a good selection of foods. The decor was typical of most China Buffet. The service was quick and friendly. The desserts(in which there was a massive selection for the size of the place) was excellent. Only issue that I had(and which stopped me from giving it 5 stars) was that the trays were never really filled. When one was empty, they replaced the tray with it only a third full. I am assuming it was because the place was not packed at the time that we eat. Definitely a place to stop in and eat at if you are in the area. read more

This place improved somewhat after receiving some resources from the Hao buffet. The food is better but there's a noticeable lack of meat other than chicken. read more

I just love the China buffet if you are going to any Chinese restaurant this is the place to go . The food is always fresh and there is a great variety of food. Closer to read more

Most things were bad tasting some things I even spit out. Buttered clams were ok not great, Hot & Sour soup was mediocre, biscuit like donuts were ok. Crawfish were nasty possibly were laying around awhile before they were cooked. Stuffed Clams & Shrimp were awful. Chocolate Ice Cream dispenser was broken. Did not try the crab legs they were skinny & not many laying in water. Most sushi was fake crab which I will not eat even though I love sushi. A lot of things looked uneditable. General Tsos was the worst I've had. Service was good nice staff. Place looked dated like old buffets from 20 years ago. Only came here because my friends wanted to try because we were in the area. I was just at probably the best Chinese in the state (Hunan Taste Denville) Owner should go there & see how Chinese food is really made. Thankfully I did not get sick but had a slight headache possible MSG. Please avoid if you can. read more

Sorry Amanda, but I beg to differ. I actually helped some friends professionally clean the rugs one night at this place. We had access to the back kitchen cause the van was parked in the back, and let me tell you that they DO NOT "freshly" prepare all their food. YUCK! I will never eat in that place again... So bad, I really don't want to go into detail... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hopefully I'll spare some people from any types of food poisoning.. HAPPY FEASTING! Hee Hee read more

The worst, absolutely the worst. This place went downhill faster than an avalanche and the price skyrocketed. Save your time and money.

My favorite Chinese Buffet in all of NJ. I don't know about what the previous person is saying because I've eaten there dozens of times and never gotten even slightly sick. The quality of the food is very good, super tasty, not over cooked or left to sit for a long time. Even the crab legs are consistently meaty and non-fishy smelling when I decide to attack them...or fight the patrons for my weight in them! read more

Very good Chinese buffet with a friendly, attentive staff. The food is always freshly prepared. The usual Chinese buffet fare.

Host was very very rude and judgie, will attempt to give you the worst seat next to waitresses very noisy and busy work station. Food was not very good especially the Sushi. read more

I have been to quite a few Chinese buffet restaurants over the years, and this one puts them all to shame! Excellent food and great variety. Everything was so fresh tasting and just delicious. I totally cleaned my plate and wanted to go back for more but was too full. I only got to try about 25% of what they have, so I need to go back and try some more. You can also buy by the pound and take it home, which we could not resist getting some more to take back home with us. The place is super clean and well-staffed. I can't wait to go back. read more

If I had a choice I wouldn't even rate this place one star. My family and myself went there this past Saturday. My daughter wouldn't eat anything except for half a slice of watermelon. When it came time to leave we asked our server (girl who cleans the tables) for a container to take her watermelon home. She then told us that I had to pay for a whole other 3 year old meal for a box when all we wanted was to take home what was on her plate. We asked the manager about this and he claims that he saw my daughter eat the other food she had which never happened because he was never near our table. So I paid $4 for a child size soda and a half of a slice of a watermelon so safe to say we will never be back. Besides the fact that the food has gone to hell anyway. All of us left unsatisfied and still hungry and wasted $40. read more

this place is great and friendly...also user friendly for any assistance you may need. great food and a great selection. We have never been disappointed. I go here andalso the Clifton Buffet which is very similar. Nice area with good stores for shopping... Costco, Staples etc. read more

disgusting place!!! i got food poisoning!!!!! shrimp has shit still in there. horrible place i would not recommend this place to my enemies thats how bad it is. do not trust this place. please look for somewhere else. hair in the food and service horrible read more

I enjoy the China Buffet. I am too far away and when I am in the area I will stop in for lunch, usually by myself. I always get the same thing. Fried rice, white rice, chicken with broccoli, sauteed string beans, friend dumplings and sweet and sour chicken. I go for lunch and it fills me up where as I (if anything) will not eat a big dinner. You cannot beat the price for an all you can eat. read more

I like this place a lot. Found it randomly one day now I beg all my friends to go with me. The clam dish is really good. There's something for everyone here, even if they're not big on Chinese food. There's a soft service ice cream machine as well, which is the real cherry on top at the end of the meal. read more

Staff is rude and the food is limited also the sanitary requirements are not met. Who leaves spoons in top of handles where everyone's hands touch? read more

This place is the worst buffet I ever seen. It's nasty, dogs food. I got steamed salmon and was uncooked, dark meat, their crab legs are empty and the little meat in it taste like imitation meat. Old and over cooked, I give this place zero read more

Food is tasty and fresh! And the waiters actually wait on you. By the wall, try crab wrapped in bacon. Simply dilishious!

The food is not terrible by any means, but what they offer is simply not enough to warrant charging $15. Keep in mind some of the bigger buffets (such as Tepanyaki in East Brunswick) are four times the size and charge $15. Most of the food is deep-fried. It's basically glorified Chinese takeout. Some of it is good, but a lot seems to just sit there for a while. Nothing is ever hot. I repeat: it's all lukewarm. That's the one issue I have. No matter how much steam is coming off of the trays, it's never hot. I don't know what the problem is. Honestly, that is what knocks this down to a 2 star rating instead of 3. That and the sushi (if you can even call it that) is not even sushi. Just chicken and shrimp tempura and that fake crab crap. They would be better off not even bothering. As for dessert, the ice cream is fine but the baked goods seem like stale, day-old bakery castaways that they picked up at a discount. Like I said, it's edible. It's clean. Some of the food is tasty, but overall, it's not worth the money. I suppose if all you want to do is stuff your face for $15, then you can't go wrong. And judging by the clientele, that's all they want. read more

I pretty much only write reviews for chinese buffets, mainly because i frequent them most when i go out to eat. being a slightly strapped college kid. But anyway my girlfriend lives like a minute from this place and weve eaten here a few times. i gotta say in comparison to some of the service that ive had at other chinese buffets, these people really try to accomodate you. you feel welcome at this place, at least their really good at pretending you are, which is where it counts i guess. with the food theres nothing i can really complain about they have a great assortment of things, from your typical chinese like general tsao's, to sushi, and my personal favorite, crab legs. also they had a stir fry type bar, overall this place seemed very family friendly, for a great night with cheap food. four out of five because its great but not perfect. i have yet to find that perfect chinese buffet. read more

I've been going here ever since me and my family moved to America over 18 years ago . I love it and the staff are super friendly . Sometimes I'll go with my 5 month old son and while I'm getting my food , the staff will offer to help me so I'm not trying to juggle a plate of food in one hand and a baby in the other. I go weekly and i never had any problems so I don't see what people are talking about . This isn't supposed to be some over priced restaurant like Houlihan's with dimmed lights . i love it . read more

Although I do prefer fresh cooked "gourmet" Chinese food, I will admit that once in a while I do stop at the china buffet. Some of the prior reviewers would have you believe that all of the food here is indelible, but that's just not true. The key to eating here is knowing what to eat and when. When you take your initial walk around the buffet, it's pretty easy to tell what has been freshly put out and what's been sitting there for a while. If you take what's fresh, you'll find that some of the dishes can actually be decent. Its not rocket science. If something that you really want isn't fresh, say something, and they will more than likely make you a small fresh portion. I know because they've done it for me. I usually go for dinner. I Enjoy the clams on the half shell, steamed snow crab legs, beef and chicken with broccoli, chicken wings, spare ribs and some of the veggie dishes. Again..only fresh. They also have the Mongolian BBQ where you pick your ingredients and they cook it right in front of you. If you went in for dinner and just ate snow crab legs, it would be worth the price you pay. read more

This place is just plain bad. The only plus was that the food was hot. I tried just about everything they had to offer and I was surprised at how they managed to screw up even the safe picks. I had a mozzarella stick that tasted like cream cheese... first time I've ever had to spit one of those out. Slimy chicken, chewy beef, warm pudding, $15 wasted. read more

For a buffet place, this place is pretty good. They had a wide variety of good options and the Mongolian grill offered even more choices. The wait staff was always quick to refill drinks. read more

I ate here at 9pm on a saturday night. The place was surprisingly busy at this hour, maybe 10 tables. First thing I noticed when I walked in was the odor and how hot it was. The place smells awful and i doubt they even out the AC on. We were promptly seated and gave our drink order. Went up to the buffet and found most pans with little or no food left in them. Some cheaper items were replenished but the more expensive items weren't except for crab legs. When new food was brought out it was quickly devoured by the people standing around waiting for something. What i did eat was so-so. Very sweet or very salty. 5 hours later and i still can't stop drinking water. I would avoid this place read more

Much better than other Chinese buffets. Pretty good selection for lunch and a great value for $9. I almost swore off buffets because I usually eat a lot, but don't get much quality. I will go back here. read more
