    Love the idea of paper plates! Never seen that in a buffet before. The food selection was good.

    I had a really hard time trying to rate China Buffet. It has been in Missoula for as long as I've lived here (13 years). In that 13 years, I have eaten here at least 20 times, maybe more. I don't know why it's taken until now for me to review them, but at this point I feel I can give them a fair review. While their food is so-so and nothing to write home about, the friendliness of their staff is where they really fall short. From the moment you walk in, rather than being greeted with a smile or a friendly "Hello," you are immediately asked in a pushy way "How many?" I'm not referring to one isolated incident. This has happened almost every single time I have dined there. There is absolutely no small talk whatsoever between the employees and their customers. Once you are seated, you then can go pick out your food, buffet style. I have found the best time to go here is when they open until around 2-3 PM. After that, the food is nowhere near as fresh as it was, and I'm pretty sure many of the food items have been sitting out longer than they are supposed to, per food service guidelines. I have to give then kudos when it comes to the variety of items they have. There have all your traditional Chinese food, California rolls, soup, ice cream and dessert, and also some American food items such as pizza and macaroni and cheese. The quality of the food is not that good, but for the price, you can be assured you will leave feeling full without breaking the bank. They keep the restaurant about 1,000 degrees at all times. My husband says it's probably a strategy to get customers in and out of there fast, and he may be right. The entire restaurant feels like an oven! When it comes to cleanliness, they certainly are slacking on that. One quick walkthrough of the restaurant and you will see what I mean. Pros: Inexpensive, large variety of food. Cons: Very hot inside, rude staff, they don't maintain the cleanliness of the restaurant, and food quality is lacking.

    The buffet was really good it's the only Chinese buffet in town but the place has lots of selections and the food has always been hot n fresh. The servers are fast and keep the tables clean. Price was right and so was the food. I'll be back

    See all

    Absolutely putrid. I witnessed a small Asian employee dump uneaten food back into the buffet. I had horrible bowel movements for weeks after

    Lots of people complain about the cleanliness of this restaurant, but I figure any buffet is going to be less clean than a regular restaurant because it is self serve.
