    Probably the best Chinese buffet in the Lima area. It is very affordable as well. I would suggest anyone to check it out.

Normally, I prefer to carry out so I can see what is available because many times there is a lack of variety, especially late. Long drive thru line but short line inside with most of the tables still open as well. Me and 2 other family tried to walk in but front door was locked. Tried knocking and got nothing but stares from faculty and customers through the glass door. Tried calling store but no answer. A guest walked out so I walked in while door was closing and got in line. I peacefully asked "did you know your front door is locked?" a man in a black shirt shouted "if you previously were not in line, you need to leave and go through the drive thru because we are short staffed". I've never been kicked out anywhere before and was so embarrassed with all the stares of patrons already in store. I left without making a scene. I understand being short staffed but would have no problem waiting, but not in my car wasting gas and idle engine time. I went to another local Chinese food establishment and was greeted with a smile and no locked door. Going to be a very long time before I have the nerve to go back to this Panda Express. With almost 3 hours left til closing, telling customers to leave should not and could not a good business model.

    China Buffet has quite a few really negative reviews and I am not sure why that is. If you are a…read moreperson who frequents buffets like China Buffet, you should know what to expect. The food isn't Michelin stared by any means, but usually, it isn't bad. If you have eaten at China Buffet and expected a fine dining experience, you were in the wrong place. China Buffet is your typical asian style buffet. Lots of booths and tables in sectioned off areas, two to three (sometimes more) steam tables to keep the food hot, and the typical red, green, and gold color scheme I've come to expect. You can't forget about the tchotchkes that are available for sale at the register! The funny thing is I sometimes get the feeling of being back in China when I walk in to some buffets here in the U.S.. I've been in several restaurants in China that have a similar vibe and feeling. China Buffet in Lima is clean-ish. It does show its age, but it isn't filthy. The staff is very nice and friendly, and they do speak English for those reviews that said they don't. In fact, they speak better English than may Chinese buffets I have been to. The buffet has many of the food options you expect to see on a buffet. Rice, fried rice, lo mein noodles, rice noodles, pepper steak, General Tso's chicken, honey chicken, green beans, egg rolls, sweet & sour chicken, etc., etc., etc.. The food was hot, tasted good, and varied in selection. The food was fresh, and was replenished on a regular basis. All in all, I enjoyed my lunch at China Buffet. If you go to China Buffet expecting world-class food options, staff in penguin attire, and perfect American English, then maybe China Buffet isn't the place for you. Wendy's and McDonalds are just down the street. However, if you are a veteran of Chinese buffets, and can take the good with the not so good, then give China Buffet a try. You may not care for everything but I am sure you will find something to your liking.
