Even if I had a coupon for dollars off of the price of the buffet, I won't dine here again. Food was ALL cold, and not tasty. The fried rice looked like white rice with a little coloring. Terrible! I will buy the ingredients and cook it myself, at least the food will be the right temperature. read more

OK. I may not be an Asia food expert, but I love this place. Great buffet, good sushi, and good Mongolian grill. I try to eat there at least 2-3 times a month. Put your hungry on and gooooooooo Wasabi. read more

If you've been in one Chinese restaurant, you've been in them all. Waiters with huge smiles, over the top "Chinese" decor and miles and miles of buffet. In this regard, China Cafe delivers...and then some. But the difference is that, once you get past the stereotypes, the food they serve is actually pretty damn good; and the variety, while extensive, is not so absurd that you get lost in the selections. It is a welcoming mix of tried-and-true favorites and house specialties, both of which are done very well. Personal favorites are the steamed dumplings, the pepper shrimp, and the sesame chicken. And the egg rolls. You can't go wrong with a good eggroll or two. read more

Super depressing first off. I walked in and there was about 5 people sitting by themselves eating Big Bang theory on the tv. And it's $10 a person for all u can eat?? Please. It's not good and I'd rather just go to Panda Express. read more

Wow, the very definition of mediocre... My thing on, "all you can eat buffets" are to lower expectations, because most people are in search of volume instead of quality. Probably why Americans are so obese... The people working there are so friendly and were working so hard I hate to give a bad review, but the food was not good. You would think it's impossible to mess up the Mongolian Stir Fry, but it had no taste, ugh! In all fairness we went on a Monday Night and I hope the weekend puts out a better effort. read more

I was feeling very naseaus and when ever I feel sick I crave won ton soup. It hit the spot for what my Chinese mood was craving. Being from Houston and having tried a million Chinese buffets this wasn't by far near what we are used to but for the small town of Granbury it was good enough for me. The almond cookies with icecream would get me to come back alone haha those were the best. read more

After reading these newer reviews since the beginning of the year, I was excited to go back to China Cafe. Well, all I can say is it was no different than the last time I was there. All of the older reviews are accurate. And that is a bummer, because I love Chinese food!! Will not be back! read more

China cafe I have lived in the Granbury area for almost 15 years. My family and I only went in every so often. Once the new owners took over my family and I now go into China cafe almost ever other Sunday and sometimes during the week. Once I had asked if they would make me a plate of supper some veggies for my baby. Now every time we go in they bring out that same plate without us having to ask. This has been such a blessing just knowing that they are more then happy to serve their customers to there specific needs. It is such a relief to knowing that they have something and are willing to serve their smallest of customers. For my self it's very nice to know there is a restaurant that I can go to with my baby and they have something for him to eat. If we every found anything wrong with food or would like more of something they are more then happy for fix more for everyone. I have once found any of the food cold or over cooked. For my family and my self we are more then happy to come back and bring friends and more family. read more

Went tonight. There was about 3 people there. One actually left after us and we seen her across the street at a different restaurant. The food was all cold and old. They said they would cook us all new food. That would be the whole buffet. Me and my husband didn't have have warm good piece of food and we got a little of all of it. Won't go back. read more

About what you'd expect from Chinese in a small town. I've had much better but I've also had much worse too. It's not the freshest because they don't have a lot of traffic but it works when you need to get your Chinese fix. read more

China Cafe is your average chinese buffet restaurant. They have a mongolian grill and soft serve machine, along with a few varieties of sushi. The buffet items are as can be expected, chicken beef and pork were all cooked decently. The hot and sour soup was delicious! read more

We ordered take-out, and I'm usually disappointed with the blandness of so-called spicy dishes, but was impressed that their szechuan chicken was actually spicy! The only problem was that the dish was mostly shredded carrots and very little chicken. My husband's noodles were good, though, and the hot and sour soup was great. read more

This place is really gone downhill they need to keep their food fresh and their atmosphere fresher I wish we had another choice

We were driving by and had seen the place mentioned for being good for Chinese, and so we decided to go and try out something new for once. The staff was really nice, there were no problems! Don't understand where the negative reviews came from to be honest read more

The services was very bad , and I try to let the cashier guy know , he didn't even say something sorry to me but also blame on my faut. I wonder with this kind of services how do they still have customers? read more

I can't believe all these negative reviews about this buffet.China Cafe is actually better than my expectations.Compared to the other chinese buffet, this one is far above them. The place is very clean and the staffs are very friendly.I love their sushi, they taste very fresh and delicious.I will definitely come back a second time with my family and friends. P.S the mogolian grill they have, i would rate it a 6 star if can. read more

They dump New food on old food. Quality has gone way down. Belly ache every time:( wish it hadn't changed

Food was horrible and cold,most of the chicken was overcooked...........no wow factor here...Also why leave a tip for a buffet,my other plate was not taken away and no drink refill,even though the tea had way too much sugar....... read more

I was very optimistic about this place. We just moved here and looking for Chinese food. The entrance was nice, place looked fancy, nice people, big buffet. Horrible food. And I am not picky when it comes to Chinese food. So bad. My husbands tummy hurt after eating shrimp also. I told him not to eat raw fish off a buffet. We wondered why it was dead on a Friday night. Now we know. read more

Ordered food to go. What I received was dried out, inedible food off the buffet line. Went back and asked for a refund. Was told they don't do refunds without receipt. Do you still have your last To Go receipt? This place seems to be uninterested in their customers. Only interested in the last dollar they made. Avoid this place!!! read more

I'm disappointed I can't select minus stars for this place, and you have to at least select 1. So I'll give it a minus 3 with minus 3 being the worst, 5 being the best. I remember the first day they opened, the Mongolian Barbecue was fantastic. Then they sold the restaurant. Over the years it has lost it's luster. Most recently, I went in, the egg rolls were cold, the vegetables were dry in the Mongolian Barbecue area and,,,, the proteins were at room temperature. Room temperature! While I was there, they brought ice out to stock the Mongolian BBQ food area, and when they lifted the protein pan, there was NO ice there. IT WAS DRY!! The stuffed shrimp is more like shrimp tails stuck in a fried stuffing ball. I could go on. The only one thing I liked, was getting an ice cream on the way out. This place needs to close. It is an eyesore, and an insult! By the way, while I was there, they were all gathered around the TV. No one cared about my cold egg rolls. Never again! read more

If you like good Chinese food, DO NOT eat at this restaurant. The food was tough, cold, stale, greasy or tasteless. We tried the Sunday buffet. There were many choices and we tried many of them - all were bad. We will not return. On a positive note, the restaurant was clean and the prices were moderate. You would do better, however, at any Panda Express or at the frozen food isle of your local grocery store. read more

it's just not ... good. i feel gross every time i eat there.

Not very good whatsoever. I think it is mainly because this is a small town Chinese buffet. I don't know if there are any Chinese people even in the town. Besides a random Chinese buffet I went to in Florida one time, this was the worst. We had the craving for wonton soup and in a small town like Granberry, there isn't much for options when it comes to Asian cuisine. They didn't have Gen Tso's chicken, so I had sesame chicken. It was mediocre. The sushi was pretty shiestly cut. I think i saw some Totino's frozen pizza on the buffet next to the Ore Ida French Fries. Oh well. I wasn't really expecting much, but I was still disappointed because in Houston, even the worst of the worst Chinese buffets are still 10x better than this joint. No regrets! HAHA. Just trying to save someone else from this place with my review I guess. They have a grocery store next door. It would be better to just go there and buy some stuff and cook it up! Also, make sure to look at your check. We ordered water and they charged us for a drink. I will say their sandy cookies were awesome. Soft serve ice cream was good too, but I cannot give them credit for that. read more

The two stars are because my husband looooves this place. There are few good things to eat here. I would stick to the Mongolian grill, at least it will be fresh. read more

Absolutely flavorless food. Not even the basics were good. Fried rice tasted like chalk. Sweet and Sour sauce was the consistency of the wonton soup and a flavor to match, both watered down. Tempura chicken was considerably more tempura than chicken. Sauce in Broccoli Beef was, you guessed it.... watered down and flavorless. The broccoli was as limp as the beef. The egg rolls were WELL past golden brown; more like light chocolate brown (as in almost burnt) and yes, you guessed it again.... flavorless. I wasn't expecting PF Changs quality, but I was expecting edible. It's really gone downhill and I won't be going back no matter how badly I'm craving Chinese food... Total waste of money. read more

Have given this place several chances over the years. Very hit and miss, but more miss... . The last take out order was a total bust. Ordered Szechuan Beef (basically spicy beef and carrots) and got a Beef dish that had everything but the kitchen sink thrown in it, with the exception of anything spicy. Beef was really poor quality (lots of gristle and fat). The Crab Rangoon: it's been changed to a flat triangle shape; was stale, hard, and filled with imaginary crab. My other half spent a lot of time in the "throne room" the next day compliments of the Egg Drop Soup (it was the only thing that I didn't eat!) The Won Ton Soup: Thick dumpling dough wrapped around a small meatball (got 4 in a quart of soup) left to overcook in watered down chicken broth with a random little piece or two of green onion top. The food here was never great, but it used to be okay enough to satisfy a Chinese food craving without a trip to Ft. Worth. Sadly, the cravings will now require the drive. read more
