I'm actually shocked that there are bad reviews. Made me think it's some rival restaurant's doing but whatever the case may be, the food is fantastic and the selection is amazing. read more

Went there today, 7/1/2026, and it was awesome! The chicken pieces were unbelievable great. Flavor like never before! They must of soaked the chicken in something very flavorable. BEST CHICKEN EVER! The Mongolian beef was superb also in flavor. 5 stars also to green beans in herb sprinkles and the shrimp! Waitress was awesome and checked on me many times. I was first customer of day at 11 am and a great crowd by about 11;30. I had three plates of food and 1 plate of just watermelon and cantalope. Watermelon was so good. I also had 2 big dishes of their strawberry ice cream. read more

From what i gather theres new ownership. Well that place has gone down and the food sucks! Theres a whole lot of nothing! Burnt fried shrimp and like i said nothing of substance.it used to be a nice restaurant with friendly staff and a nice greeting at the door. This guy at the door didnt even speak english! Everything is self serve, get your own silverware, get your own drink. No thank you for coming, not even a fortune cookie! The staff is all young kids that were messing around behind the counter. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! Most unpleasant experience!!!!!! read more

One of the best Chinese buffets I've ever been to, they have hot tea and great food, I highly recommend the coconut chicken.

One of the workers yelled at me for wanting to leave a tip for another worker. One star, don't be rude to the customers. read more

China Buffet - China buffet - Chinese Near Me - Monticello, Minnesota

Did know there was new owners in sure can tell poor service workers use there phones to talk to you try to call the place go to answer service will not listen to you. Just to have them yell at you.. the other owners treated very nice sad to see a place go down read more

I noticed the food was tastefully displayed and the sushi labeled and looked beautiful. I saw staff regularly filling the food and diligently cleaning. People commented on the freshness of the food and good flavor and the new scoop your own ice cream- people are extremely happy with that- the taste and selection. The ambiance is peaceful: calm music and beautiful artwork, some with encouraging words. When I was there, though it is self serve drinks, staff cheerfully filled drinks when they had time and helped elderly and parents with small children. read more

general t'so DOESNT say chicken because it's not chicken there is no chicken ITS JUST SOLID DEEP FRIED BATTER tossed in sauce. sweet and sour chicken? NO BATTER FRIED BATTER BALLS!! everything is old and mixed in with old. STALE! SOGGY! no authenticity here. Stay away from the sushi! DO BETTER!!! you charge $18 per person for crap food! read more

The hot food on the buffet was cold, decent selection of items. Cantaloupe was rock hard from the salad bar . No follow up service from the waitress had to go chase one down to get a soda refill. $1.99 for a soda when they do not willing offer refills seems high. Will not be back any time soon. read more

OMG do I EVER recommend this place it is just amazing . It has AMAZING sushi and it tastes soooo goood

It would have been 5 stars but we where put in the pretty much back of the restrant where we where rarley severd. None of are drinks were topped off cuse no one came to check on us we had a huge pile of dirty dishes by the time we where done because no one was coming over. But! This is my favorite place to go out to eat it has many options in its buffet and all are pretty good. The bathrooms are always clean and food is always stocked qll around a pretty great place to go for food but not sevice read more

Needs a lot of improvement. Place appears dull. Price is ok but I rather pay more somewhere else. The Mongolian stir fry section serves oxidized meat and definitely not fresh. Pretty much, all of the food is not fresh. My kids kept telling me the place is scary and the food taste nasty. The kids refused to eat the food and I had to go somewhere else to feed them. Would I visit again? Never. read more

Highly disappointed. Been here multiple times over several years and the food has been okay for the price. Tonight was not the same. We came at 6pm and half the Buffett items looked like they were left over from lunch the other half did not taste good. Will definitely drive longer and pay more for better quality next time. read more

The sushi was warm and the food that was supposed to be hot was cold. Enough said about the food. Very nice waiters though.

I haven't had a China Buffet in years and this didn't disappoint me. They have 4 or 5 rows of food , all laid out perfectly. Everything was full, hot and fresh, and we went at 2:50 so it was't a meal time. The staff was friendly and courteous, and kept our table clean and beverages filled. This is quite a ways from home, but we'll worth the drive! Plus they have ice cream! read more

The two major parts of this review was the ambiance and the food the food was a solid 9/10. It was amazing, the only reason it's not 10/10 is I didn't have time to try it all. the lights, music, and the exceptional service alone deserve the five stars. The table was made for us when we got there without a reservation. They came and checked in on us quite often and cleaned the table right away It's about as close to a fine dining restaurant as you can get for a hole in wall buffet. The environment was very calming and quiet. Absolutely worth going to as well as coming back in the future read more

For a store front Chinese Buffet, this place is pretty decent. As with many like places, the location is in a mini-mall which provides ample parking. Upon entry, you are greeted with the basic Chinese Buffet decor and odor that gets the tastes buds hoping for the first taste of Americanized Asian food. This buffet is a bit larger than most store front places and offers most of the regular expected dishes you'd find on a run of the mill buffet. The sushi bar is quite good and offers about a half a dozen different rolls which have been fresh upon each of my visits. The cold bar offerings of salad and such are pretty nice. Try the offering that looks like kimchi - it's not as spicy as traditional kimchi but is quite addictive. Another great option for this location is their hibachi option with plenty of fresh, raw ingredients upon with which a sauce of choice is prepared upon order. The service has always been quite polite and friendly and not too overbearing. If in the area and have a hankering for Chinese food, this is a pretty good place. read more

I ordered Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and Mongolian Beef. Not sure what they gave me but it's chewy and tasteless. They only gave me 2 of my 3 entrees and when I called they said to come back. I live 30 minutes away and it's snowing. I can't comment on the buffet but I won't be going back. read more

China Buffet - Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef - Chinese Near Me - Monticello, Minnesota

Wow I love this place! I have always been picky about buffets and chinese food especially especially being chinese. The staff is amazing always so kind and generous. I love the food, my favorites are chicken broccoli, potatoes, and pork skewers! Go there you won't regret it:) read more

This was our second visit and we took our college student before he went back to school in Idaho. We all found the food hot, delicious and well prepared. They have a great variety on their buffet counters. Our personal favorites are the sushi and stir fry counter. The teriyaki and ginger sauces really makes the stir fry delicious. read more

Very clean , nice variety of Asian food good price . Owners are very sweet as well as the staff too

The food was just ok it wasn't fresh. Most of it was cold and you could tell that it had been sitting a long time but the little bit that was was warm was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Next time I'd go closer to dinner time if ever. read more

Does not work at all service is horrible and the food isn't even Chinese food we were waiting for our drinks and they forgot out drinks for like 10 minutes the food isn't good at all read more

Nice staff. The food leaves a lot of room for improvement. Many items were just about out in the buffet. We went around 8pm on a Wednesday and there were very few people. They stay open until 10pm so the food should be continually rotated. PROS: - Clams were good and large - Fried dough is always amazing, and of course easy as a biscuit in oil. - Sticky rice CONS: - Ice cream is more ice than cream - Crab legs are a wee bit bigger than two pencils taped together. - Sushi is not what I would consider as sushi - Food just wasn't fresh. - they even offered things like pigs in blankets; looked like they came out of a generic box at the local knock off grocery store. Overall, for the price you pay and the quality you get I'd suggest just getting Chinese takeout from your local Chinese takeout restaurant. I wouldn't recommend going here. read more

We are frequent visitors to this restaurant as they have excellent selections at their buffet when the state allows indoor dining. The staff and owners are friendly and keep busy. We have also utilized their take out and found the food tasty with generous serving sizes. One of the most reasonable restaurants around when you include appetizers, meal, and dessert. read more

The variety of foods was nothing less than spectacular! Presentation was excellent which can be no easy task with so many dishes. Everything we tried was prepared well too save the egg fu yung which my friend reported was just o.k. The noodle dishes and vegetable items I had were all tasty; the sushi, very nice as well. I'm certain we will be back! Mary from St. Cloud read more

A typical China Buffet but I found this one cleaner and with better food than most China Buffets. They do have a nice selection of food. Everything was hot. Enjoyed the General's Chicken and Peanut Chicken. Food kept replenished. Small sushi bar had the basics. They also have a grill so, I guess, you can have your stirfry cooked like at Mongolian BBQ or Flattop Grill. I should have tried it. Tables clean. Staff friendly enough. Went back after not being there for a year or so. I forgot how good it is. Everything was hot. Tons to pick from. Loved the steamed salmon. Kids enjoyed the sushi and grill. If you don't like Asian food, there was pizza, meatloaf, chicken nuggets, etc read more

Amazing food, great price, great deal, and awesome customer service! Shoutout to Lin!

It says they deliver but they don't. They got my order wrong and forgot some things completely. I live a few blocks away and probably won't ever go back. Food was decent but not worth the $$ read more

Always great food. Take out always warm and fresh. Amazing service and friendly staff!

Love the sushi on most days. I wish it was part of the take-out menu! The mai fun is fantastic. The hot and sour soup is my husband's favorite. The salmon is always fresh and not dried-out. I like that they offer kimchi. The variety is great. And the quality is consistent. We avoid going when it is the usual supper time because it's so loud and crowded, and when we arrive either after or before the dinner rush, the steam tables are still freshly-filled. My friend always does the " custom stir-fry" because of gluten intolerance, and says it's done perfectly, very tasty. It has been much cleaner and nicer-looking than it has been a few years ago. read more

visited on 2/27/23 very low on most items- chicKen legs were cold. will be a while before I return.

Half of the food trays were empty at 5pm. (Beginning of dinner rush) and the food that was on the buffet was very displeasing to look at let alone eat! Looked as if it had been sitting out for along time. I barely ate anything other than fruit and left still hungry. This would be the second try I gave this restaurant as I figured maybe there was a good explanation the first time I ate there, and the food was bad. Won't be wasting my money there again! read more

Ordered take out chicken chow meln for a quick weeknight dinner. Wow. I have to tell you it was the absolute worst. It was actually celery in a corn starched thickened, celery flavored sauce. In a quart of this stuff there was a sparse six (I counted) thin sliver/shards of chicken that tasted old. I don't think it passes for chicken chow mein at all! Not even the sauce. read more

This place sucks!!! The trays were empty, food tasteless and dry. Definitely not worth spending money in this place. I'm not coming back read more

This buffet was not good. The raw food bar looked like food poisoning waiting to happen! The food was not fresh and very bland. Has meatloaf! No idea why! Sushi I would not trust. read more

The food was at best warm on the steam tables. Disapointed, didn't even have Chow Mein.

We were really craving chinese tonight so we gave this place a try. All the food available at 6pm looked like it had been sitting since lunch time. The chicken and broccoli had 3 types of meat in it that staff werent able to identify or tell me why it was all mixed together. The sushi selection was mediocre at best but i didnt try any of it because there was raw chicken liquids flung everywhere from the raw grill food. Overall not impressed and will likely not return. read more

Dont come here if you want hot food or good service. Everytime i have gone here the food on the buffet is cold and they dont have any sense of urgency when buffet food is empty. Also expect forty looks from staff as you watch them prepare their vegetables without glives at a table. read more

Not great, but not bad. I thought the selection was fairly decent and covered most of the typical Chinese buffet fare. The plain breaded chicken for the sweet and sour was a little thick and overcooked, but the general, peanut, coconut, and honey chicken were all good. The sushi was nothing special, though a few of the rolls were actually decent quality. Ice cream machine with a nice spread of toppings for dessert. The service was great as plates were cleared quickly and drinks kept topped up. All in all, good bang for the buck. read more
