Its buffet included all the basics: soups, chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, egg rolls, and desserts. The wonton soup wasn't good - skins without much meat. But the fried wontons with cheese were good. Everything else was per normal. The service was attentive. All staff worked very hard. The prices were inexpensive - $11.95/pp. It's like McDonald's price for a meal yet you get much more food with much more variety. Frankly I wonder how they make a profit. read more

China Wok Buffet - Desserts - Chinese Near Me - Bloomingdale, Tennessee

See all

1st, I've been going to China Wok for many years. Through good & bad mgmt. Staff there now are rude & quality of food has definitely taken a hard hit. The buffet food was dried up & most had no sauce at all. Egg rolls & wontons were old & grease was dripping off of the egg rolls. We went to check out & the cashier with greasy hair & chewing food said I owed for 4 buffets but only 3 in my party. I asked & she said I was seen putting food in my purse on cameras. I said no you didn't see that. She said empty purse! I did & what she saw was me putting kleenex in my purse. No apology & she said I know what I saw. Worst management ever! I say to anyone considering eating here to rethink it. read more

Food is always fresh and while it is a smaller bar they keep it well maintained and the staff is always friendly. Been going here for years now and have yet to have a bad experience. read more

I decided to give this a try, since sometimes places which don't look like much can surprise you. This one did not. It's pretty much your standard Americanized Chinese buffet joint. I got a variety of items...spring rolls and egg rolls were bland. Shrimp with vegetables was not bad. Noodles were ok. The Genetal Tso's (I think?) that was advertised as spicy was actually not spicy at all. The hot and sour soup was not great either. But I did like the macaroon - the macaroon was delicious :) Five stars out of ten, but because the staff were friendly, I will make it three out of five and round up. Not somewhere I'd come back to on my own, but if I did, I'd try the actual menu (yes, they have more than just buffet). A-OK. read more

Paid 40 bucks for a stomach ache. Got pork fried rice (tasted off like the pork was old). The chicken with broccoli (which was bland). Vegetable lo mein ( also bland). General TSO chicken ( it was ok), coconut shrimp (decent), and pork egg roll (awful). I asked my teen to get these things from the buffet but she said the buffet was bare so they said they will make it fresh. Totaled to a lil over 40 bucks. I ate a lil bit of everything and later on was up most of the night with stomach pain getting acquainted with my toilet. I will never eat from here again! I'm just going to stick with the place in gate city cause it's actually fresh and good quality like back home. read more

In general China Wok is an average American Chinese buffet. It's a fairly small buffet but it does have all the standards. Nothing about this place will surprise you if you've been to other Chinese buffets across the country. Quality is also about average. A few things are really good a few things are a little bland. Nothing is stellar, nothing is atrocious. Most of it is enjoyable. Service is about par for the course for these places. Which means you will be treated as a low ranking business partner. Everything will be done like it's supposed to be. There will be no warmth. But also there will be no disrespect. It's adequate service, as is the norm for a Chinese buffet. It looses two stars for cleanliness. Do not visit here if you are squeamish. No deep cleaning ever gets done. Stained floors. Some crud buildup around the buffet itself. There's a tacky oil residue on everything in the dining room. Ceiling is stained and parts are missing or cracked ( dropped ceiling ). The silverware and dishes were all immaculate though so they do clean where it counts. I recommend China Wok for those looking for a perfunctory meal, not for those in the mood for a culinary experience. read more

I love the food the people everything. It used to be booming and so full of life. so much good food ( thinking about it makes me drool). This will aways be a 5/5 for me. I'm moving but I see myself traveling back to Kingsport just to eat and remember all these memories and sweet moments I had there read more

This will always be my favorite Chinese place. We use their pints price ($5.25) as the comparison for other places. We leave different restaurants and will be like bummer, we should have gotten pints from China Wok instead Their buffet has egg rolls, crab Rangoon, sometimes potatoes, pepper chicken (shrimp at dinner), chicken and broccoli, usually Mongolian chicken, pepper steak, General Tso, Pork fried rice, happy family, lomein, chicken meatballs, chicken teriyaki, spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, hot and sour soup, and wonton soup. Did I get it all? I just circled the buffet in my mind. read more

China Wok Buffet - Pepper chicken lunch - Chinese Near Me - Bloomingdale, Tennessee

The prime ingredient in this restaurant's dishes is grease. I don't believe this place has ever seen ginger. I had the buffet as well as ordered from the menu to take home. I have lived in Denver, DC, and Knoxville and this is absolutely the worst Chinese I've ever had. Too much cornstarch (my takeout order slowly turned into gelatin). The buffet is loaded with tasteless choices, as well as the usual canned peaches, etc. This place has little ambience and does not serve beer, wine or liquor. Apparently they are going for the cheap luncheon buffet crowd. read more

I always enjoy my meal, but the staff not so much. They appear uninterested in guests needs, and are often times rude or disrespectful. The story continues with their leadership. Their mangers sole concerns seems to be in making a dollar, and not in the experience of the guest. Food: 5/5 Staff: -10 read more

This is my go to spot for Chinese takeout in Kingsport. Yes the buffet does not have a large selection, but i like that, knowing they are not cooking 50+ items for the buffet. Constantly making sure the buffet stays fresh. The take-out menu is extensive. Can find most anything you would want. read more

My husband and I used to enjoy going to this restaurant frequently, years ago. We now enjoy it in our home, because they offer delivery! The minimum order is $10 for delivery. It usually takes 45 to 50 minutes to receive, but so worth it. It arrives hot every time. Our order is always accurate and comes with all needed utensils, sauces and even fortune cookies. Friendly service as well. Definitely worth a visit/delivery order. read more

China Wok Buffet - a variety of food items - Chinese Near Me - Bloomingdale, Tennessee

My favorite chines spot in town

This is one of my favorite restaurants, the food is amazing and is always fresh and the staff is amazing, prices are good and when I and my mom want Chinese food we'll order here or we'll come in and eat Yes the buffet isn't big, but it is delicious, the take out menu is great I always get pork lo mein and spring rolls, and it's always good Never cold or dry China wok will always be my number one restaurant read more

Have ordered takeout several times and eaten at the buffet once. Your best bet is to order pick up or delivery. The buffet doesn't have many options and isn't great. Typically when I order take out, I get mu shu pork or general tsos. My fiancé gets beef and broccoli. I've never had an issue with my food, it's pretty good and is run of the mill Americanized Chinese food. My fiancé has an onion allergy and they've never "contaminated" his order with onions which is always nice. Very cheap. Nothing special but it will take care of your Chinese food cravings. read more

Very good fresh ingredients! The best sweet and sour sauce. A nice variety of vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly! You should try this hidden treasure. read more

Not a great selection on the buffet but their food is really delicious and the staff is very friendly and welcoming

Worst food I've had since moving to Kingsport. Paid $13 for the Seafood Delight. I dug out a whole tray of broccoli, which I hate. There was no identifiable scallops, one bit of lobster, and relative decent amount of fake crab that you can get from a bag at Kroger. Little to no sauce without flavor. Do yourself a favor, just pass!! read more

I highly recommend eating here been going here for over 20 years my kids was raised on it LOL love it great price wonderful food read more

China Wok Buffet - Deliciously wonderful - Chinese Near Me - Bloomingdale, Tennessee

Not a huge selection on the buffet. Alot of the food wasn't hot or fresh. Best thing on the buffet was the crab ragoons and the sugar biscuits the sweet and sour chicken was more sour than sweet. read more

bad food tastes like clorox, makes me wonder why it tastes like that? dishes are not clean, very bad service also. do not eat here!!

Service is somewhat decent the food is often cold and taste old best food here is the ice cream

I've eaten here twice, it's overall good, and everything I ate was good. It's a buffet format, and I suspect most would find a few things on the buffet they like. The service is very good, they make sure to offer you refills on the drinks. The price is reasonable, under 10 bucks for the lunch buffet. So far it's best Chinese food I've had in either Kingsport or Johnson City. I would like to rate it about 3.5 stars, because 3 stars seems a bit tough, but 4 stars seems a bit generous. read more

Friendly service, mediocre selection. The sweet & sour chicken was barely warm but the other items were fine. Basic Chinese Buffet, nothing special. read more

This is THE BEST Chinese restaurant in Kingsport! I have been going there for years. The staff are so friendly and they always recognize me, they already know my drink order. The cheese wontons are amazing, the food is always hot and fresh and they keep the buffet stocked. They are also very attentive and will keep your drink refilled. I wish I could give this place 10 stars! read more

This is really good Americanised Chinese food. The Lo mein is always good and I don't think I've had anything there that I haven't liked. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the people there have remembered us and were very friendly. It has a nice casual atmosphere and it never gets too loud. read more

They used to be pretty good. The last couple times haven't been up to par. I got a General Tso's that was very watery. The breading turned to mush. It's marked spicy on the menu, but it's not. read more

I was very surprised at how fresh the food was at the buffet, and how everything that I tried tasted good. I was able to get full without having regretted consuming anything I'd eaten. It definitely is going to be my go-to place for Chinese buffet. read more
