I was disappointed with the chicken dishes. Seemed like it was day old. Like if I was eating leftovers

Friendly folks. They work on keeping the dining area clean. Plenty of good buffet selections. Reasonable prices. Quality of ingredients is great at the price point. Belly is full and satisfied read more

Ima keep it real, super overrated,overpriced,and over crowded. Service was great the staff do treat us well, dropped a drink in accident and a nice waitress came immediately to clean up the ice. But food isn't that great, you'll always find a cold spot in your food and some weird looking piece of meat that dosent look edible. Ontop of that they have a station where you pick out your drinks & when I went to go get a cup the cup had LIPSTICKSTAIN ON IT and cups got stuck tg, I assume they use a dishwasher now then how they use to roll the traditional way. Costed 64$ for 2 adults and 2 children. & saw the ops there, definitely don't recommend if your going as a big family or if you got many ops read more

It's a Great Value And Food is Tasty Very Busy on Weekends I would Highly Recommend try it if you like Buffets read more

Chinatown Buffet - We had 60th birthday dinner here for a friend - Buffets Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I did make a mistake in the original review as it was pointed out to me because I did not doublecheck the spelling before posting. The spelling edible was spelled wrong in the very first sentence.. but other than that, I stand by the review if you have money to throw away, definitely go there but seriously to me. The food is not worth the price you pay.. people were extremely disrespectful. read more

Price is good for what you get. Staff is nice. No outdoor seating. Food isn't great but isn't bad. Food is fresh. Buffet is kept clean.

Food was delicious and plentiful. The service was great. The kitchen was constantly filling and keeping the buffet fresh. Clean atmosphere. read more

One thing for sure, come in hungry! Decided to come back here since I remembered their wide selection of seafood during the last time I went. They have crab legs, mussels, craw fish, and shrimps. Then, they have the Chinese classics, the orange chicken, beef with broccoli, honey walnut shrimps. I'd have to say, they were pretty decent. The egg drop soup was okay, too! The reason for the three stars are the dessert. Looks better than they taste - the red bean sesame ball was mostly filled with air and their cream puff was a little bit hard to bite. Sadly, you really can't put ridiculously high expectations on a Chinese buffet here in town. read more

Just a regular Chinese buffet restaurant for Americans in Bakersfield. Look clean and decent and price is very reasonable for a buffet at dinner time read more

I thought I was eating orange chicken until I found out it was fried Chihuahua It kept eating because it was actually alright read more

I think the reviews are being a little too critical. I think they're forgetting that all chinese buffets essentially operate the same way, and people who enjoy this place may not be the type of people to get on Yelp. Went for the first time and had low expectations because of the reviews but it was better than I expected. The servers were very attentive and my family always had their drinks filled. I'd leave my dirty plate and go for my next round and soon as I get back, my dirty plate was already gone like magic. That's how attentive they were. The room was fairly filled with customers but we definitely did not feel rushed. We actually even overstayed from just talking when we were already finished dining. Was it the best dining experience of my life? Of course not. Was it good for $15? Absolutely. Don't come over here expecting a five star buffet. read more

This place is nasty dirty I got food poisoning and the customer service was absolutely horrible she was incredibly rude she tried to take my plate of fries and she put a dirty fork on it the people will always stare at you when you are eating and they don't know what they are doing. read more

Went there today with a cousin visiting from up north. There was a line outside, which is always a good thing. There options are endless which is great for children with diet restrictions. The chicken satay and potstickers were delightful I especially enjoyed the steamed class and sushi, mom didn't feel the same. Will definitely be the at least once a month read more

Horrible. there was a cockroach in my water when she brang it after we were almost done eating. And they still charged us 50%

Food is very bad and poor quality, yea i get it it's a buffet. But still, and whoever is in the back cooking makes it's even worse. Hire a new cook or microwave technician! read more

I ate there food it was fine for the 2 dishes I got them when I got my third plate and it was pizza. I bite into it and the come to found out last sec of chewing I bite down on a metal looking material in the food I told the manger but they think Im dumb not know there Mongolian language and they disrespect me infront of me. I told them they need to pay for the dental service and when I try calling back it keep going to voice messages and I went in person back to talk to them but they were trying act all busy... it's at your own risk I give it 3/10 quality because of the disrespect and not owning up to there mistake they have it on camera... I'm just saying just be careful here it good but also bad read more

The older lady there was being rude to us aside from waiting forever to receive our drinks and refills we were also followed to the register to make sure we payed. She stood behind us the whole time until we payed. Like lady we have the money to pay.... Were usually very good about the tipping but felt no need after what we experienced. The food was mid. Shrimp was good. If you're looking for a better buffet I recommend Sakura. read more

Chinatown Buffet - the front of the restaurant - Buffets Near Me - Bakersfield, California

A bit over priced for a buffet of this quality taste of food. But I didn't get sick. Dinner was $20 something

The first time I went it was pretty good. We decided to go back but for lunch this time. The waitress wasn't very friendly and only two of us were able to get a refill. Inside is nothing fancy but fine for casual dining. The food was fresh and pretty good. Plenty of things to choose from and for kids. Nuggets, fries, fish, shrimp, limited sushi bar, and several deserts to choose from. It's between a few hotels and stayed pretty busy. read more

Chinatown Buffet - Cold bar - Buffets Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Passing through Bakersfield on our way to Vegas for the New Year and looking for something like an Asian buffet. Usually there are 3 or 4 items we can enjoy and ignore the rest in many of these types of buffets. It was better than we anticipated especially with the price of food these days. Loved the clam dish and the baby blue crabs, calamari, and chicken wings. Everything seems fresh and constantly replaced. Price was only 15.95 for the weekend. Would go here again. read more

Was overcharged for the lunch special. Make sure to ask for your receipt! They'll print a random receipt thinking you're not paying attention to prices read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 2018 - # 94/100 Met my uncle, nieces and nephew who treated us here for lunch. Typical buffet food- greasy and salty. I tried to keep my choices with the kinda healthier options, if fried shrimp, and extra ranch is considered that. This place must be popular, I noticed that the line was out the door by the time we were leaving. Which must have been brutal waiting in the 100+ degree heat of Bakersfield in July. read more

Chinatown Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Bakersfield, California

My husband and I enjoy the food here. It's not a top chef restaurant, but neither is McDonald's or Burger King and everyone accepts them for what they are, but they don't seem to be able to for this place for whatever reason. The food is decent, it's clean inside and the staff are attentive. Plus good price for the food variety. I see people here always getting their money's worth, nobody leaves hungry and without eating at least two plates. I don't understand the low rating stars. read more

This restaurant is so good I love it and the restaurant are dirty but it ok:) chicken food and the restroom is so dirty it fine read more

This was the place we went to the first month we moved over to Bakersfield! They were super delicious! They have lots of food selections and it all tastes so wonderful and is enough to drive the senses wild, just wish they had crab rangoon and fortune cookies, that would have made my night complete! I love Asian food, it's just so addictive to me! I will be back! read more

Service was okay the waitress didn't seem to care. All food tasted off. Shrimp also had the poop still in it. The mood was pretty typical but the smell was awful read more

Food smells so bad and is god awful. I wish I took pictures. I would not recommend this restaurant unless you're poor.

Before the Pandemic the food use to be good they still have all my favorite but the food was cold. We got there when it first open up.

Over all food sucks lots of variety of suck except the ice cream only thing I enjoyed

We were driving by we seen the place we stop by we try the food. Me and my family really like the food specially the coconut shrimp.

I love this place I really do. They have a large variety of food to choose from. It's a typical Chinese buffet with decent food but what makes this place different is the good flavor. I'm giving it a low rating because I'm not a big fan of the desserts and because i found a pincher bug in the boiled shrimp and I was super grossed out. read more

After reading numerous bad reviews, I decided to brave it and give this place a try. Definitely avoid the rice and noodles and some of the meat dishes were luke-warm. DO NOT eat their pizza, it smelled and tasted like play-doh. I liked the chicken wings, they were juicy, the cream cheese ragoon/won ton was crispy, the salt & pepper shrimp was good, but what was best was their honey shrimp. There is a better place for Chinese buffet in town, but it is always packed with tourists. So if you want mediocre food but have space to breathe, this is the place to go. read more

Been here twice, came back for a second time because I remembered enjoying it the first time. Well I think I'm done after 2 visits. Food just wasn't that great. The orange chicken was outright bad, the lo mein was bland and pretty much everything else was just ok. I saw this on at least one other review, and I agree- the chicken on a stick was the best thing there. Was gonna give three stars based on the food, but had to remove another star because they don't have diaper changing tables in either bathroom. There's plenty of wall space in the men's room where one could be added, and I assume the women's room too. I'm a new parent and never really paid attention to this before, but now I see how majorly inconvenient it could be. read more

Brooo the nuggets were fire i drove all the way from LA to feel the hype myself. I can say it's don't walk, RUN! ‍

Just went to Chinatown Buffet for the first time and was not disappointed! It was sooo tasty! I especially liked their donuts. If you're going here for the first time or just haven't tried them, be sure to try the chicken on a stick. It's scrumptious. Will come back soon! read more

Chinatown Buffet - Egg Drop Soup - Buffets Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I go here often for lunch. The variety of foods are great from main coarse to fruits, salads, to deserts. I don't like sushi, but it is also available and many patrons eat it. It costs me 14.95 with ice tea. My only complaint is the fried rice it needs more flavor. read more

I only give this place 1 star because you have to in order to write a review. Food was bland and dry and greasy... the worst part was the service. The people stare at you while you're eating and didn't bring us beverages until we were almost done, and that's because we asked 3 times. Than they even over charged and argued when they gave us the bill. The food is bad and the service is worse. I guess that's what you get for cheap price. Pay a little more and get something decent. read more

Make it a personal guilty pleasure at least once a month. My bank is on oak st so its an easy swing in. My grandson want to go next tome.
