HORRIBLE worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been too ..food was hard like it had been out for hours just deserves a 0 star.....and they forsure do not know how to clean a plate seemed to have old cheese stuck on too the plate.....DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU COMMING TO THIS PLACE read more

OMG...this is my first review and I was so disappointed with this place I felt I had to leave my 2 cents worth. I'm new in town and my daughter and I were hoping to enjoy a really good chinese buffet like we're used to back home. I am giving this place 1 star and that goes to the vanilla soft serve dessert. The food is very bland and dried out. I felt like I was eating chicken jerky when I tried the different chicken options. She was excited to see the dumplings but after 1 bite, it ended up in a napkin. This is the first place I've gone to where you pay before you eat! That should have been our first clue. Definitely not worth your time or money! read more

China buffet is probably my favorite place to eat! A few years ago I wouldn't have said that but I feel like they improved a lot and the food is always hot and flavorful. I personally go there for the sushi which I think is great. I'm not too picky with my food but I do want it to taste good and not make me sick. I went here last week and as usual everything was great. I highly recommend this place. read more

When trying to pay the hostess was speaking on the phone which was very unprofessional. The buffet had no rice or noodles out and after multiple people complaining it was finally restocked after 15 minutes. All the other food was cold and overall gross. Restaurant was very dirty. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

The price is decent. But the food isn't the best. Honestly wish I would've ate somewhere else. The noodles are bland "whack". The chicken is super duper soggy. The soy sauce way to salty "whack". The chandeliers are nice though but the tables are broken "Whack" and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone I know. This shit is "whack". read more

Pretty standard Asian buffet. In addition to the Americanized Chinese food, they have some Japanese, American, and Mexican. Depending on how much you plan to eat, it's kinda pricey, especially considering the location. But there's plenty of seating and I'd go back. read more

All of the food was cold and it was dinner rush. Not what you'd expect from a large buffet.

My friends love this place so I went with them. Years ago I had gotten food poisoning after eating here but I thought I would give it another try. I ended up just drinking iced tea, eating green beans and fruit because that is the only thing that looked safe. I'm sure the food was good when it was first out out but the customers make a hot mess out if it. Tons of cross contamination. If you have a shellfish allergy beware.... They have dishes with shrimp everywhere instead of all in the same buffet area. read more

Fwas very disappointed. We weren't leaving yet śthe rest of the group had left and they rudely asked if we were leaving a tip or did we leave one on the cards if we paid with one. How do you come up to a customer and if they are leaving them a tip. Bad business!!! read more

Last time was "ok". But this time was regretting. The food was a little cold, chicken was kinda hard, and sushi rolls were definitely not so fresh tasting (As if they been sitting there all day!) I only enjoyed the apple pie and my unlimited pink lemonade refreshment. Try not to go to a buffet on weekends or when school lets out. (To avoid kids and crowds.) read more

First time here probably the last. Food was just OK nothing special. The main problem was we went in and had a long wait in line even tho only a few people were ahead of us. It looked like the cashier had never worked the register before.We almost walked out. Maybe should have. read more

The food is cold. The jello is the only edible item.

I have but one word to describe my experience from last evening.....Cockroach!!!! Need I say more???? read more

I used to really like this place,but my latest visit kinda makes me a little less likely to return. I used to read some of the negative reviews on it and think "are you nuts"? me n the nephew stopped in for lunch,around 2pm. although its about $8. a person....its a toss up. this place is HUGE in seating capacity,quiet n friendly staff,they take your plate pretty fast so you don't have a cluttery table. the food selection was ok,but what really ruined the whole experience was the fact that the food wasn't even hot....not even warm!! to me,that was the ultimate turn off right there. read more

The food had no favor at all and taste BAD! Some of the food was even COLD, I will never be returning to this place at all, keep away! The review were right about this place its BAD! read more

We ate dinner at lunch time and saved a lot!!! Everything was fresh like they just stocked the place. The Green Beans are to die for here!! The grilled chicken on a stick looks like a rat but tastes excellent. My lil gal loves rat humor in a chinese joint. We were very satisfied today after taking a 5 year break from this place. read more

Awful. Ended up here because of hunger. Everything is cold and seems like it will make you sick. Tasted terrible. Glasses very dirty. And $23 for 2 people. read more

The selection is great. Everything from traditional Chinese food to sushi. There's even pizza and French fries to satisfy everyone. Highly recommended. read more

You spend less than ten bucks and you are instantly exposed to a not just Chinese food but a variety of other dishes. If you are a tight on budget and wants to treat your family or friends with good and a variety of Chinese food in a clean and friendly environment, take a chance on this restaurant. We all came out satisfied and still a few bucks in our pockets. Great place ! Great food. Thank you China Buffet!!! Jes read more

Have been there multiple times. Not the cleanest of places, first of all. And second I've really never had a pleasant experience. Whether it was the rude staff or the hairs I've found in food fresh from the buffet. I'm sure not going back there. read more

I have been a customer of China Buffet across from Walmart on Hwy 41 in Schererville for nearly 14 years since I moved to the south side of Chicago. As a Chinese, I have been to many Chinese buffet restaurants in Chicagoland, San Francisco Bay, and Metropolitan Miami. This is the BEST that I know. I absolutely love the SOUP counter. My friend who is an Irish American absolutely agree with me, and he found the western salad counter the best. He loves it all. I can't say enough about how I love this China Buffet. As a Chinese, I think this says a lot. Remember, I have been to other LESSER Chinese buffet restaurants that simply can't measure up, not even close, to China Buffet in Schererville, Indiana. Bon appetite! read more

My dad loves this place and I think its absolutely terrible. I believe today was the 3rd or 4th time I've been there and I keep forgetting that I absolutely hate it!!! I will not go back there again. I had to write a review because I can't believe the things people eat! First of all, the interior is dirty and cheap looking. The clean up brooms and dustbins are also right in the center of the restaurant. Gross. Secondly, the food is absolutely garbage. Quantity does not equal quality!! I got some chicken that tasted chewy which was probably just fat. I also had this egg thing that was just mushed up crap. I had a lot of random food on my plate that I left cuz I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I really feel like the Chinese people in that restaurant wouldn't even touch this food. They probably look down on everyone that eats there. Everything was also super cold. It was probably food they left out over night. I decided I wanted some desert (again I keep torturing myself) and this brownie cake thing tasted like cardboard. Why do I keep going back there?! Do yourself a favor, go to Tandoor across the street. They have awesome Indian food. I can't really suggest any Chinese places since I have yet to find one that's decent in NWI. P.F. Changs has some great Chinese food if you're willing to take the drive out to somewhere in Illinois. Also, I do have somewhat of a sophisticated pallet. My boyfriend and I constantly go out for chinese and sushi at all kinds of places. I know what I'm talking about. If you have no taste buds and are ready to shovel down some cheap disgusting food, this is the place to go! P.S. they have decent soup and the staff is friendly. Doesn't make me want to go back though!! read more

I'm not sure if China Buffet is a chain or people just like naming their buffets China Buffet. I will have to look into that later. Now if you lost your sense of taste in some horrible fireworks accident this restaurant wouldn't be so bad. But for the rest of us who know how to operate fireworks properly and still have a sense of taste this restaurant is bad. If you've been to one restaurant named China Buffet this is just like any of those. So maybe it is a chain. It's food that tastes bad, and it''s like ten bucks to get in, and all you can eat. I can see myself giving this restaurant five stars one day when I'm old and I don't have regular bowel movements. Because for some reason if I do eat here I always have to make a BM (bowel movement) about an hour (give or take) after I eat here. I'm not sure why that always happens. But it does. So to recap, if you lost your sense of taste, or you don't have regular BM's this restaurant is awesome. But for the rest of the tasting pooping world this restaurant is bad. read more

We have been going here for a few months. No problems. Today as we were getting our coats on 5 clean up staff came up an demanded a tip. We were dumbfounded. I threw 2 bucks on the table and they started laughing at us. How rude. Granted it is confusing on whether you tip at a buffet but being ambushed by the staff is ridiculous. We will not be going back. read more

I used to come here all the time but the last time I ever went a ROACH walked right across my table! If you know anything about roaches its that they don't like to be out in the open and they like dark places so for a roach to be out walking right across the table means the place could be severely overpopulated with roaches. My relative gathered it in a napkin and waved a waitress over and when he explained what happened and what was in the napkin she just walked away and tossed it in the dirty dishes bin. I have not gone back since. read more

If I would have known that its was going to be freezing I wouldn't have walked in. The food was cold and when I told the lady in the front she told me to stir the food around so what I would get wouldn't be cold. It was really cold throughout the whole place. Most people were leaving their food because it was cold and the girl that went around to pick up empty plates asked why we were leaving so much food and we told her it was because the food was cold so she went and told her manager but didn't do anything. Never going back there again! read more

Came here for dinner, food was nothing to brag about. Food tasted old, the price was ridiculous and on top of all of that, the person cleaning the table literally asked if we were leaving a tip.... after asking, absolutely not read more

All I can say is delicious! I loaded up on the fried frog legs, which were crispy, tender and perfectly cooked. The spinach was flavorful and I also went back for seconds and thirds of the fried rice. A good value for the money and a nice venue for "date night" before a movie. read more

Very good chinese food here, and the price is cheap. I could spend less money ,and taste good Chinese food.

The food is great!!!! The sushi is good with the fruits and nutrition and health in your body some people may say these people's food are horrible, you guys are all stupid that's why !!!! the food is tasty and good for all of us but you people don't realize it. read more

It's dirty inside. Then ask to see the kitchen. A car fire outside and wouldn't even let them use a fire extinguisher. Person was told it was for "store use only". Then a lady finds and returns thousands of dollars in a bank bag and gets a whole free lunch out of it. Not the kind of place I want to spend my money. And speak of cheap, ya think they could add a TV or two?!?!?! I can't wait till they close. read more

Absolutely Terrible!!! The food is nasty! A lot of the food is dried up and cold. Will never go there again! The worst $34 we've ever spent!

I used to go to china buffet in the past and enjoyed it, but I haven't been there in 4-5 years. A few friends and I decided to go today and had a horrible experience. We got our food and it was cold and hard, to the point where we didn't even want to eat it. When our waitress came to bus the table we told her and she got the manager. Let me mention, that I don't even send food back at restaurants because I feel bad; but this was just unacceptable. The manager cameover and started arguing with me saying we ate her food as I continued to tell her we took a bite or two and stopped eating because of the poor quality. I asked the manager for a refund and she continued to argue with me for a good 5 minutes. She finally said she could give us half of what we paid ($11.50 each). When we went to the counter she gave me $5 ( I was supposed to get $5.75). When my other friends asked for their refund she tried to say they ate a whole plate of food which they didn't. She ended up giving them $7 back for the both of them (supposed to be $11.50 between the two of them). At that point we decided that it didn't matter anymore and we just wanted to leave. I will never go to this china buffet again; not only because the poor food but the awful manager. read more

it sucks now all the stuff taste funky specially the meat!!

The food was bad. Cocktail sauce was watered down that it took my plate over(example of them cutting corners). Most of the food hardened on my plate that I probably could use it to fix boat and tire leaks. The carpet was so dirty that I honestly wouldnt let my dog walk on it. If this is what they let us see hate to see the preparation area. I have been to many buffets and dont expect much but this was bad. Only amazement me and my wife received was how the good people of Indiana keep this place open. SHAME on you Indiana for patronizing a human kennel and thats being nice. P.S. most of the good reviews I see are people defending the bad reviews(Guess who that is). China Buffet Schererville shame on you also for taking advantage to the brain dead patrons keeping you open. Health Department 911 read more
