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

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.

Not the worst place in town, but service is horrid. A lady insisted on sweeping like she was playing ice hockey and kicked up dirt while everyone was eating. I think they do it on purpose to rush people out. She then came over to watch me sign the bill and stood beside me as I signed... smh. read more

Chinatown Buffet - Don't respect us eating... keep sweeping with gusto - Buffets Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I was reading bad reviews so i decided to go to this place. It was good but the shrimp was to salty and the pizza was good but it smelled like play dough and i like the orange chicken and the fries but the noodles tasted like puke and they were cold the drinks were good and the chicken wings were good. read more

Located right off the highway and near the Hampton, I was starving and it was late. I wanted something quick and reasonable. This worked out well as their dinner buffet is around $12.98 total including a drink. They have cold snow crab legs and peel & eat medium shrimp. That's mostly what I had. I also liked the clams in sauce. Other items are your typical spring rolls (not so good), spicy chicken, pizza, sushi, fried rice (a bit bland), Lo Mein and a plethora of desserts including ice cream. If you leave hungry, its your own fault. Not the best buffet, but certainly not the worst. The staff was very friendly and quick to clear plates. read more

Seriously a great buffet! Our tour bus stopped here with about 50 people. We were shown to our tables quickly and had us all situated in record time. The food was fantastic & the service excellent! The dessert was a little lack luster, thus the 4 stars. Everything else was on point, completely recommend.

OMG There is no way this restaurant is a 2 1/2 star it's by far at least four or five the food is always fresh the servers are nice we've been going there for years....I recently noticed you took away those fluffy white Dumplings and crab legs please bring them back that's my reason for going there read more

Chicken was very chewy, food was portrayed as hot/warm it happened to be neither. Was let down because everything smelled good.

The lunch price is alright, around 8 dollars for lunch. Dinner is a little more expensive, but only by a couple dollars. The buffet area is fairly small, offering a variety of food however there is also not much to pick from. It's pretty busy during lunch time because of the cheap price. The food overall is decent. Nothing too special, it's your average Chinese buffet. Not a lot of fruits during lunch, just watermelon and banana. They have a sushi bar, and even offer choices such as pizza and fries. The service can be kind of slow. My father asked for hot tea and water and he didn't get it until asking once more from the front desk. read more

It's honestly not worth it all I can say the food isn't even good went there with my husband we left in 10 minutes disappointed and had to pay a bill of 86$ read more

Was terrible . Food was very plain, the waitress was so rude. Asking us to pay standing there while we were still eating food. And just sat there waiting for a tip . So weird . Never going back. read more

Food is bad and I felt like I was going to get covid don't go and eat use to come here a lot but now I don't think I'm going back

NEVER AGAIN. They will literally kick you out at 9. It was like 10 mins to closing time and you can start smelling the bleach from the employee already mopping the floor, While people are still eating. read more

Lack of cleaning of the buffet tables , lack of diversity is the reason we quit eating there , not really a lot to choose from , and of Saturday and Sunday after church , be prepared for food dropping snot nosed little rug rats running thru the "Playground" in the buffet line while there "parents" suck down crab legs like it the last meal , entertaining if it wasnt so gross. read more

I went to eat here today I barely got my first plate and they gave me my check already plus I was there last then 15 minutes and they were already kicking me out. I will never come to this place again. It was better before but now horrible service. read more

Great for the family or a group, many options to choose from they have something for everyone, but their main dishes are seafood. I truly liked that they serve bean sprouts separately, and my aunt LOVES extra bean sprouts in her Chow mein or low mein. Also they charge a flat rate for too go plates, not by the ounces like some buffets do! All in all very happy with this buffet. read more

Well....I have been hospitalized for past 5 weeks. NO APPETITE AT ALL!! So my Dr. tells my husband to go out and get me what ever sounds good to me. I thought about it long and hard all day & came up with Chinese. Well should have stuck with Panda. This was literally inedible!! Do not waste your money!!! read more

Close at 10pm but DONT COME HERE AFTER 8pm. They stop cooking. You're pretty much their CLEAN UP CREW. By 9pm they have already put away their sushi bar. Everything looks VERY OVER COOKED AND DRY. For the price this place is NOT WORTH IT. Oh and they cleaned the ice cream machine early too. Don't expect any more seafood to come out either. read more

Very uncomfortable seats and the food was mostly deep fried food and I really didn't enjoy.

Decent spot, if you are craving an Asian buffet experience. Do not come here too often because I do not have any favorite food item here. Therefore, it is not a destination for me. Only time, I come here is for family get togethers. For the price you pay, the food is fine. Good selection of choices. Service is okay. Cleanliness is below average, but it is probably because they have been busy during each of our visits here. They should have more staff on hand during those peak hours. read more

3.85 stars Oh so close to 4 stars. I'm comparing it to other buffets. They had SUSHI, half way decent sushi, including salmon nigiri and a good selection of rolls. I walked here, not that hungry, so I was so excited when I saw sushi, crab legs, and oysters in the mist of all the other chinese foods. The service was great, fast and friendly, always looking after their customers. I was so proud of myself for NOT overeating, as we so often do at buffets. I would recommend this place if you want a BUFFET, but I probably won't be back here again. The whole "buffet" thing defoodanizes the entire dining experience. Oh yeah, 10 bucks per person....guess that seems to be the trend out here. Fine with me. read more

As a European, I can gladly say I've never tasted something as bad as this . But this isn't the end! Our waitress could barely speak any English not even enough to attend kindergarten. The food was tasteless, while we consumed our food with "joy", we got introduced to the restaurant mascot, Charlie the cockroach! We got saved by our ninja waitress, who obviously perform martial arts, she has definitely done this before as I haven't seen this done with this amount is skills. After our little introduction, we had to visit the bathroom. What I found in there was beyond my imagination! A toilet so technically advance it didn't need toilet paper! It's put into a recycling bin, where you could see the human fertilizer still on the papers! They obviously think about the environment! read more

We used to love this place, it's terrible now. They don't keep items filled and got rid of many of our favorite dishes. It's not worth what you pay. I hope this place turns around but as of now it's two thumbs down, unfortunately. read more

Horrible customer service. We asked for two Waters ( it was a party of 5) my friends ended up changing their mind and ended up wanting water after all. The waiter rolled his eyes and walked away talking smack in his language. When he. Ame back he only brought back One water. I asked him if it was an issue to him that they changed their mind.. He walked away and again started talking smack. We ended up requesting another waiter.. I wanted to ask for crab leg breaker.. Called the waitress I said excuse me please she rolled her eyes and she walked by and said hold on... It's been 15 min. We are paying money here.. It's not fre.. No need to be so rude. For sure Never coming here again. read more

Employees talk crap about their customers. I am half chinese and I heard the employees here talking and laughing about the customers here in Chinese. When I confronted the lady at the register about the rudeness of the staff she laughed at me. This review should be a zero star but yelp needs a star just to be able to write a review. read more

Basic reality, if your Mexican your going to love it. If your white, stick to any other place because you most likely won't like it. Shrimp, sushi, crab legs, and all the good Chinese stuff. This place is packed every time I go. And it's inexpensive. read more

Worst customer service. Called a waitress to ask for water and she told me to "WAIT"!!! What? Why would you ever tell a customer to wait? Asked another waitress for help and she shouted "WHAT"??? Food was not good. Pretty nasty. ZERO stars!!!!!!! read more

I ate here a week ago Sunday experienced food poisoning from the food Stay away unless you enjoy not doing nothing but running to the bathroom every few hours read more

My family and I love this place! My mom and I come here about once a week before I go to work. On 12/12/18, my mother and I came here before starting our days and came at 10 am when they opened. We walked in and only 3 trays were filled with food and they didn't seem to be in too much of a rush, even though there were already 5 customers in there waiting for food. They only had potstickers, desserts and some soup out for serving. Tables were still dirty from the night before. It's 10:20 and they only have about 1/4 of their buffet ready. It's 10:40 and they have everything out just about, except for Lo Mein (which I feel is a critical part of Chinese food), I didn't hardly get to eat anything before I had to leave for work because they were not set up for their opening time. Our waitress was standing around and didn't bother with refills on our waters. We were still charged full price with NO apology for the waiting or anything. When I had made a comment to the "manager", she didn't seem concerned at all. Very disappointed in today. Hope they don't do this again and make people wait again. read more

Honestly I was so disappointed this used to be one of my favorite buffets in Bakersfield it was really upsetting to see fly's and maggots in the food no! Joke the host made us pay first before we got to view the items we got food uncomfortably didn't eat when we over heard a conversation a man and his family on the phone he was letting them know about the fly Situation the man made a decision to not eat and ask for his money back Politely and the host refused they got in to a conflict really quick and even people around started to give there Opinion Saying that the man was in the wrong and not the restaurant everyone started to Curse at each other I tried to stop it an told them please no fighting there are children and older people here some lady then told my to shut the F up I was really upset but pregnant and trying to calm the situation down when it wasn't my job to I honestly think they Should've handled the situation a little bit better and I hope they are before a health inspector shows up read more

Ok, I love Chinese food and have ate at almost every Chinese restaurant in Bakersfield. I always avoided China Town bc I never heard anything good about it. Finally I said,"I'll give it a try" just to make a fair evaluation. People let me just say this: " I'd rather eat Chinese food from a TV dinner! .........Enough said! read more

Finally decided to try this place after like a month of debating whether if I should or not. And it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst it was ok. read more

Sitting here with family wondering if we can get a person to clear out our table. Guess not . Sitting on the private side with T.V Young waiter keeps passing by again and again I've set our first batch of used plates onto the next table hoping it would give him the hint. I cannot believe the way this young man is treating us as customers If he doesn't want to be here Management needs to send him home He doesn't even shed a smile. Sad situation for this business. read more

I came here on a wednesday afternoon around 3 so i'm guessing lunch was ending and dinner was going to start. The selection was pretty good. They had lots of variety, even with american food (like chicken nuggets, pizza, and fries [for kids i'm guessing]) But the CHINESE food was pretty good. My only complaint is that the steamed white rice was on a buffet tray thing, not a little cooker steamer, so the rice was different than how i was accustomed for steamed rice. Also, there was NO CRAB DURING MY VISIT. Probably too expensive to set out on a wed. afternoon where business might be slow? either way, i think they could have cooked a little bit of crab and set it out. So i was also dissappointed about that. The sushi bar was good though. Great variety of sushi, lots more than at any other chinese buffet i've been too. And it was all prepared GREAT! They were actually pretty big rolls, and i enjoyed them =] I also liked how they had TVs on and stuff. It makes it so there's some noise (not loud though) in case you don't have much to talk about with whoever you're there with, or if you're going alone! Family fued was on, so i like watching that too =] All in all, it was pleased with my visit. The price wasn't too high either, around $9.75 per person with drinks included. So yeah! read more

Have eaten here many times. Food is good and is consistent quality. Many employees are Asian with limited English. What's more to want? Can be very noisy when busy. Outdoor seating in good weather. read more

Tonight was my first time, and unfortunately also my last. Cost is $13 plus cost of drinks. The food I had was luke warm at best. The broccoli beef was cold and the only bite I took had cartilage in it. When new food was brought out, it was dumped on top of what was there instead of switching it out. Egg rolls were soggy, fries rice had no taste, orange chicken was slimy and had no taste. Gravy for mashed potatoes was basically just brown liquid. Items on the desert table were either stale or tasteless. Very disappointed with this place. The only reason why I have them two stars is because the restaurant is very clean and staff were cleaning the entire time we were there. read more

Took the family here for dinner last night because I was too lazy too cook. At first glance it looks like the typical dirty little Chinese buffet. But the food was actually fresh and tasted close to authentic. Service was good, had 3 drink refills in a timely fashion. The sushi bar stayed stocked and was attended by a cook making fresh rolls while the supply of prepared sushi was being taken. Overall it was a good experience. I would have gave 5 stars, but the location is a little sketchy, especially at night with several homeless people in the parking lot begging for money. Otherwise, good eats for the money read more

Customer service was bad. Our waitress always rolled her eyes every time we asked for something. Had to ask for refills and extra napkins. Food was bland and not much of a selection. The place isn't too clean either. Don't think we'll be going back. read more
