I've lived in AZ for two years and this is by far the BEST buffet I've been to. They supply a great selection of various foods and the servers are always pleasant. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone that mentions Chinese food or buffets. read more

I gave this place 4 stars because they have a lot of choices AND a stir fry area where you can choose your meats and veggies and they will do it up for you the way you want it. The waitress/server we had was really freindly, I asked for tea as my beverage and was suprised she brought me my own kettle! So I didnt have to keep asking for more. The food was well cooked and didnt have any problems with it. The Restaurant itself was clean and smelled nice.Good selectionof food, I have eaten at alot of Buffetts and this place had the largest selection of sushi. They must have had about 9 diffrent sushi's available. They also had Ginger on the side. For a cheap price and lots of choices, this place good. read more

Been a long time customer but today had a bad experience in which the waitress told us that we needed to leave a tip. Our bill was over 100. and they had the audacity to tell us we needed to leave a tip. First I thought the tip was already included on the bill and I paid using debit. At the most they refill our drinks but on Buffett set up we get our own food. Very disappointed on how they came across very greedy on the tip. Very disappointed. read more

If this is the best Chinese buffet in town, I'd hate to see what the worst is like. Crab legs were overcooked, sitting in hot water, and when they brought out new ones, a couple of people went and grabbed most of them. Salt and pepper shrimp was made with small, mushy, fishy-tasting shrimp--think salad shrimp. Potstickers, dried out. Did not try the Mongolian grill. Veggies turning brown were off-putting. Not a good experience. Didn't feel like fighting at the register afterward, so we paid. Guy didn't ask why we looked so disgruntled. read more

They have reasonable lunch prices on Saturdays and we have a large family.. Is it the best buffet? No.. is there a large variety? Yes.. Good value for a family on a budget.. today was odd.. I was trying to end in an even number on a budget.. So my tip on my card was under 2 bux.. I was about to pull cash out of my wallet when the waitress comes to take the receipt and sees the tip and tells me that it "isn't enough".. now I'm caught off guard as I would have added some cash but was very surprised as I have never seen a waitress question a tip.. especially at a buffet where the food is not delivered.. read more

Lots of options and reasonably priced. What time you come in does determine how much of the popular items are available but if you are patient they are always quick to get fresh stuff out. Love the music, if I'm in a Chinese restaurant it's nice to hear Chinese music! Love that they use real plates, and the clean plate ratio is much better than golden corral, if you frequent buffets you know what I mean. read more

What is it with Chinese buffets? It seems like they all get supplies from the same vendors. This placed is no different. The food is about pee warm and it all tastes them same. Every item was mush, even the beef. The beef was rubbery and weird. Then when we were leaving the bus- person, because that's all she did, told is to leave a tip. She watched over our shoulder when we were signing the check. So needless to say, we won't be going back: horrible food, rude staff. read more

Food is average and the waitresses are rude. They demand you tip them. If you don't leave your tip right away when they ask you to pay, they get angry and ask to be tipped. Will not be going back. read more

As far as buffets go, and especially chinese buffets this place is great! Sushi, crab legs, all the usuals, Mongolian grill, and great beer prices. Our go to chinese buffet in the east valley! read more

China City Super Buffet - 1/4 of this large buffet - Buffets Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place is very nice. It's interior is spacious with light music in the background. Floors are clean and waitstaff immediately cleaned up the tables and even took dirty dishes from your table. The food was fresh and kept up when getting low. We went on a weekday ( Wednesday ) so probably not as busy. Our drinks were continuing to be filled. All the food I picked out was really good and fresh. I really liked this buffet. read more

Food isn't bad, some of its pretty tasty. It's a shame the staff treat you like you owe them something for just being there. This is a buffet - you serve yourself! One of the staff actually walked up to our table, looked at the credit card slip and said, "no tip?" I answered no. She looked at me, and you can't make this stuff up, she asked "why not?" Lol. Can you believe this?!?! I told her that it is customary to tip for good service and that I received no service from her. Wow!! Just WOW!!! read more

horrible staff, they got upset for not leaving a tip on my credit card and brought back the receipt asking for a tip on it... definitely won't be going back for quite awhile. most of the time I'd leave a cash tip, but when I'm approached by the staff because I put 0.00$ on the tip amount for my card you're definitely not going to receive anything. read more

Lots of variety! They offer a huge selection and tons of seafood. Crab legs and different style crab. Service is what you'd expect at a chinese buffet. Clean buffet area. Bathrooms were somewhat dirty. Some food was piping hot, some cold. I took 2 of my boys....they had salad, rice and jello. The pepper crab was good. Basic but good sushi. For a chinese buffet-pretty good. read more

This is by far the best Chinese Buffet I've ever eaten at. I'm 45 years old so I've been to many. The food quality was upper level grade and the flavors of all dishes are amazing. They really have gone the extra mile here to bring the outdated low quality old Chinese Buffet back to the new age. Well done China City well done! I gave you 5 stars and that don't come easy.... read more

We won't be going back the food seemed mushy the crab legs some were cold some were warm and slow coming out from the kitchen.

this could've been because we went later at night, but i will say it wasn't close to closing yet so i'm unsure. i will say i was so excited to bring my boyfriend because this was a huge part of my childhood but it's not how it used to be. the crab legs were bad and it wasn't great. i don't regret going it was very cheap and the server was nice. the atmosphere was still cool. the food just made me sad and miss how it used to be read more

food was cold , did not get refills , on the web page it lists snow crab legs , when i asked , was told that it was only for dinner , yet it does not says that. NO BBQ ribs . shimp was awefull , it still had the shell on it , very poor selection of food.would never go there again read more

So very disappointed. Terrible service. We had to get our own drinks. Workers were on thier cell phones. One lady doing all the work by herself. They cleared plates only once. Food was sub-par. Only positive was that there was a large selection of food. Very sad and over priced. read more

We have been eating lunches here for several years and always found it to be a good experience with decent food and friendly smiling pleasant staff. UNTIL TODAY. When paying the bill at the register, our "waitress" was handing me my change and said "Where's mine?" I told her that her tip was on the table which is where we always leave it. She looked past me to the table and said "No it's not." I replied that whoever cleared the table must have taken it. She replied that no one took it and stuck her hand out and looked really angry. When I declined to give her any of my $3 change, she took off in the direction of the table which was cleaned off. I wish I had stayed to see what happened next. I have never seen her there before, and don't look forward to seeing her again. She is a very unprofessional, rude and angry young lady and would not work in my business. Based on todays visit we'll probably not be coming back here to eat. read more

In my opinion this is so far the best Chinese buffet. The food is always hot, and refilled frequently. They have a wide variety of food, sushi, and an hibachi stir fry grill. They have desserts and ice cream, and the service is good. Our drinks were never empty. read more

Today was a disaster. We brought out of state family and had bragged this place up. We arrived at 2:15 pm. Food was luke warm and had. it could even cut my orange chicken. really, not even with a knife to cut. It was very disappointing to say the least. we told the cashier that spoke english about this. She made some excuse that we should have come at lunch time. Excuse me, but i thought that because this is an eating establishment that anytime we came it should be good, warm food, not just at lunch time. Also they need labels that tell if its spicy or not. I took a plate of food that was so spicy that i couldn't touch it. I also told them before about this severaL MONTHS AGO, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED. read more

This place has seriously gone downhill !! We have been coming here for years and the quality had been good, then okay and has progressed to horrible! Tonight we arrived at 645 pm to a nearly empty buffet! To our disappointment it stayed that way throughout most of our meal, only a few items were replaced on the line. So in the end we paid over 50 bucks for nothing ! We will not return and might I suggest that you don't either ! read more

Yup I drove all the way across town to have dinner with some friends tonight and yup it was worth it. You really do have tons of options to choose from. I mean they had crab legs, chinese bbq ribs, Mongolian bbq, steamed asparagus, green beans, orange chicken, crab won-tons, you name it. I am licking my lips as I type, remembering all the yummy food that I had. The young lady that was taking care of us was really friendly and we all got 15% off of our meal due to the coupon that we had so double score. If you live in the area, try this place out. The food is plentiful, the staff are friendly, and the price is just right. Its a triple win situation. read more

Now I should perhaps preface this review by saying I'm not really a fan of buffets. So take my thoughts with a grain of salt please! This place was surprisingly busy for such a large place. Staff was clearly rushed, and had a 'get them in and get them out' sort of attitude. Food selection was massive, though a lot was deep fried and extremely greasy looking. Tried a dumpling and some beef broccoli that were both overcooked and greasy. Even simple garlic mushrooms were slimy and poorly cooked. Stir fry station offered a chance at some freshly cooked food, which was then promptly covered in oil on the grill. Sigh. Everything felt a bit grimy, and the bathrooms were fairly dismal. Not for me I'm afraid! read more

One of the worse buffets I've ever eaten at. I tried several of the meat items, and they were so tough that they were almost uneatable. The crab legs were so overcooked as to be almost limp. All of the remaining dishes I tried were so bland I can barely remember what they were supposed to be. On top of that, as I was paying my bill and leaving the waitress took my bill and then started screaming at me. The only word I understood was TIP. Apparently it was insufficient for her. I will never eat here again. Between the bad food and the rude staff, this place is just terrible. read more

After two weeks remolding, it's reopened! We went back on the first day and it did not let us down. Everything is new from ceiling to floor. The food taste even better. The owner said they added heating above the food to make food stay warm whole time. Surprisingly, the price stays same. It stays as my favorite buffet in AZ! read more

Came back here yesterday about 2pm. Service was great... didn't have a long wait and my water was refilled frequently. Really can't say there was a bad dish..but the salmon and coconut shrimp were both perfect! They had a nice broccoli salad, a stir fry counter as well as fresh made sushi...no nigiri for lunch but I do believe they put some out for dinner. Either way the rolls They had were proper temperature and tasted great. For dessert I had a slice of flan which was great and their banana pudding and banana dessert. Likely will be back even if it is 2.5 hours on a bus. read more

This place has gone to shit the pinnaple was rotting it was fermented and all the food was horrible old nothing fresh it was absolutely disgusting read more

Went thete an hour and a half before they closed. There was barely any food, when asked if they were bringing out more food they asked me what I wamted and they would have the cook make it. If I wanyes to cook to make ME something I would to a restaurant. They gave me a discount but it was alittle over 2 dollars off. Will not be going back anytime soon if at all. read more

I usually frequent this restaurant a lot. It's usually good to alright but I just had a bad experience this time. First, they cater to the old farts that come into town. I mean, their food is catered to the Snowbirds which is crab legs, shrimp, not too much in other food choices. I am usually ok with that but this time it was sub par. They didn't have wontons in the Wonton Soup when we asked they took 10 minutes to put some out. The peel and eat shrimp were black on the edges like they overcooked them. My husband usually gets Sweet and Sour Chicken. They didn't have that. Oh yes! He had butter shrimp and got sick! When we complained to the waitress or whatever you are going to call her since it was a buffet, she started laughing at me. I didn't want my meal for free, but I wanted to tell her to get the manager over, but she didn't get the hint. Don't get me wrong, this might have been a bad night because I've been there several times and the food was excellent. It was a crowded Friday night, but for the 2 of us, it cost $26.00 for crap! I might never go there again! See ya China City! Stop Catering to the old farts that come into town for a couple of months and start catering to your real customers that come all year round! read more

This buffet is a couple blocks from my house. My family and I decided to give it a try more for the location than for anything else. We were all pleasantly surprised. The food was good and hot. Let's face it, in the end it's buffet food so it's never gonna be gourmet, right? But if you hold China City Super Buffet up next to it's peers, it easily stands above the crowd. The "sushi" (again, it's a buffet, so I didn't go with huge expectations) was good. There is a BBQ station that was tasty. The entree dishes were plentiful, varied and well prepared. I read the review that mentions the servers speaking badly about the customers in Mandarin. While I did notice that they were very hesitant to speak English with us, I did not get the sense that anyone was making derogatory remarks. Who knows, maybe ignorance is bliss? Bottom line, I will be back. Probably often. :) read more

Been here half a dozen times. The number of entrees is incredible. Never seen this much selection in any buffet, anywhere. The secondary room accommodates large groups quite easily. A bonus as we had a group of a dozen. The servers picked up the empty plates often. I cant comment on the quality of all the entrees, as it would not be possible to try each one. However the ones I had were excellent by buffet standards. I would have like some of the dishes to be physically hotter, but I like my food hot. All in all, my favourite buffet here in Az. Great value for the dollar. read more

Omg, their food is awful. Quality was not to be found anywhere. $13 for a dinner. Just awful.

The restaurant is clean. Buffet line is spotless.wait staff pleasant. Lots to choose. Food was just average, some items luke warm, others piping hot but no flavor and overcooked. . Wish they would prepare less items to focus on quality of a few. read more

The food was terrible. The soda tasted like it had been watered down. The sweet and sour sauce tasted watered down as well. The beef in the beef & broccoli didn't resemble nor taste like beef at all and the orange chicken had little to no meat on it and was mostly breading. I felt sick shortly after eating the beef and broccoli. Most of the food didn't look appetizing. On a positive note the spring rolls were actually okay. Definitely would recommend going to a standard Chinese restaurant as the quality of the food here is low. Though the variety of food is impressive the quality will greatly disappoint you. read more

So disappointed with the service today. Let me say that the food was very nice like always. However I was left speechless when the waitress came back to the table and asks me where her tip was. I politely said I was using cash. She told a coworker, "they've been here for two hours." I obviously changed my mind about leaving a tip. I did inform the manager. read more

The place was hot inside the chicken tasted old like it's been freezer burned. The sweet and sour sauce has no taste at all. A lady was using her hands tasting stuff before she put it on her plate which was gross. We won't be going back.. read more

This was the worst China buffet I have ever gone too! Seriously didn't even eat! Thankful for the lady that served us, she didn't charge me but the food is horrible! read more

I just left there--one word--gross! The fried rice, spring rolls, egg-foo young, etc are as bland as white toast and the staff is borderline hostile and fighting among themselves which made for some entertainment. I tried to find something palatable but honestly--I couldn't! read more

I am a fan of this place, but its not as good as it gets. It is one of the better Chinese food buffets I have ever been to, but only because of selection. There is something for everyone here, and the people in charge let us bring our kids in and destroy the place and they seem to love em too. The food is good, but not the best I have ever had, but I will keep going back to this place because of the selection and how easy it is to bring the kids without feeling like you are annoying everyone! read more
