    Self-explanatory

    The food was OK. Pretty standard fare. I knew I was in for a "treat" however when the hostess went to seat me at the table. Using her foot, she swept out the remnants of some other diner's meal with her foot. This included the, less than appetizing, crayfish shells and other nameless morsels. I can understand that wanted to tidy up a bit, but she merely left in a pile by the table u til it was swept away about fifteen minutes later. The picture I am including was from a table next to mine. You get the idea.

    I don't have super high expectations when it comes to going to a buffet but my friend wanted to stop here, so we did. We were sat at a table quickly and went to grab a plate. It wasn't until after eating that I saw a dead roach under my chair. I informed a waitress who shrugged her shoulders like it's a common complaint. If their dining room looks like this, I would hate to see the kitchen. Absolutely disgusting.

    Awful! I don't even know why we bothered to come here in the first place. We were next door looking at some glasses and thought why not stop in try a bite to eat it may not be horrible after all. We walk in and it's disgusting! The doors are all finger printed no one has bothered to clean those doors in maybe 3 weeks. They print everywhere how they have cameras to watch you eat- hmmm, uncomfortable. We literally had one plate and left. The sodas tasted awful! I bet if the South Carolina health department entered this location they'd shut it down immediately!!!! This place is awful. They have dirty floors, dirty tables, dirty windows and doors, we asked for plastic forks as the forks they gave us were dirty as well. Just don't go it's beyond disgusting! I wish I could give it a -10! This restaurant should be investigated.

    Spit the food out it sucks rats and roaches!! Macaroni was so disgusting tried to eat but my stomach got upset!! Not worth your money!!

    No stars!! There food is nasty!!! Run it not good everything is nasty!! They say it's fresh but it's not the taste!! The taste is rebury and it's old!! Please don't eat raza no coman aquí está feo y te obligan a pagar u que no te guste!! Y también te piden propina!! Ahora si llevas más de 7 personas ahora te quiere cobrar mucho más ojo lo que te cobran!!

    China Buffet on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston is a great place to get quality Chinese food at a really good value. The food here is consistently fresh, well prepared, and delicious. I like coming here for lunch or dinner after a really long day. They have really good customer service here and work hard to make sure that you are happy and have a good meal. It is good to have a good Chinese restaurant in this location.

    The food is good and the service is decent. It can be pretty loud and crowded depending on the time of day.

    Worst Chinese buffet I've been to in this area. There's imitation crab meat in everything. Most foods are very bland.

    I visited mid-week so I got a table quickly. It was my first time trying hot pot and our server…read moreexplained the process well. Service was good and the place looked clean and organized. The music was a little loud for us trying to talk across a big table. All of the food looked fresh, the seafood was on ice, the vegetables were in a cooler. It was a good experience and I would definitely go back.

    I went during their lunch special from 11 am - 4 pm and they offered $20 for Korean bbq and hotpot…read morewhich is a great price! I specifically came at 3:10 pm and the server notified me ahead of time that if I wanted that price I would only have until 4 pm which was about 50 minutes to eat. Totally do-able especially since I was a party of 1. Just a heads up their options for lunch is different from dinner hence the difference in price points of the two. Everything was buffet style so you would go to the bar to grab your meats, drinks, and sauces. If you wanted rice, kimchi, or other sides please let your server know. Service was great and attentive. My server often came by and offered to cut the pork belly which by the way were my favorite here. The restaurant gave me a sense of modern/hipster vibes which can be appealing for young crowds and it seems pretty clean overall. Definitely will be back to try their dinner options one day but it's a good spot for a cheap ayce during lunch time!

    My schedule gets real hectic sometimes, but I still have to eat. I didn't want fast food this…read moreparticular day so I went here to get dinner to go. I had not been here in a long time. I think the price is very reasonable for what you can get. There was a variety of options to choose from. I did have a not so great encounter with a cashier, but the manager on duty addressed it immediately. All, I'm going to say is...be sure to check your receipt after your purchase. I would go again.

The strawberries…read morewere frozen and thawed out so they had a glaze on them and the macaroni was better than Bob Evans. Lots of desserts and the pot roast was a bit dry but the butterfly shrimp made up for it However my experience was terrible thanks to the tall skinny white guy who was cooking the steaks. I stood in line to get a steak and told him medium rare. He put a burnt piece of steak on my plate and walked away to put new steaks on the grill. I sat down upset and found out a family member was giving a medium steak that he refused to eat so I traded with him. Before leaving I wanted to discuss my experience with the steak guy so he wouldn't mess up other people food. He denied the whole thing and told me that never happened. I asked one of the waitress for his name but she didn't know. I left giving him the middle finger. From now on -- place a number by each steak photo. 1 for rare and 5 for burnt ( well done). We can give the cook our fingers instead of talking through a sneeze guard in case the cook is too busy to pay attention to what we said. Don't fire the idiot but do as I advise. I went there 7pm 5/4/26 anniversary (star wars day)

    I will admit, I love a good trough festival now and then, I mean a buffet ... the ultimate has…read morealways been the golden trough, a.k.a. golden corral, I am also a big fan of Chinese buffets .. but they are sort of like eating candy or drinking alcohol, it's fun, but it's not good for you, and you know you shouldn't! Looking for a Chinese buffet today, the map gave me a buffet choice of Naan. I'm very happy that I tried it, because it was truly amazing. Not just the flavors in the taste, this Indian buffet with straight up only Indian food was delicious. I will now drive home in a near comatose state in need of a nap. If you are on a health kick, and you are only eating one meal a day (OMAD), which I am trying to get into the routine of, I can see myself coming here again for my one meal!

    Meh. The Chicken 65 we received tasted more like yellow curry chicken than what Chicken 65 is…read moresupposed to be. It was weird and lazy. The Chicken Vindaloo had good spice, but the portion was disappointing -- I only got three pieces of chicken and two pieces of potato. The app tacos appetizer also weren't the same as they used to be. They previously featured a fried wonton wrapper with Chicken saucy Shizusan chicken, but whatever changes were made really missed the mark and ruined what used to be a favorite. Overall, the service could have been much better. I'd really love to see the restaurant return to the previous menu and quality. We won't be back.
