    I visit the buffet Avery other week or so, food hits the spot. Nice variety and refilled frequently.

    Beyond disgusting

    I ordered two dinners. One the rice was beyond brown and dry. I also got sweet and sour chicken. I don't use the sauce so I had asked for no sauce and extra hot mustard. I got one packet of mustard. One soy sauce for two dinners. The beef in my hunan beef was so disgusting and chewy. I couldn't eat it. Two hours later I was super sick from eating the chicken. You need to watch what u are serving people.

    Food tasted good. The buffet was constantly being refreshed and cleaned. Signs request that a new plate is used every time you go up to get more. As soon as you sit back down, a waiter is clearing old plates. My son ate, my parents enjoyed. Salad bar to start, desert bar and soft serve ice cream to end.

    Cheap and convenient food ! Place is clean upon entry ! Never ate at the buffet but they seem to have people all the time in there . Food is always hot and fresh and I've never been dissatisfied neither my boyfriend. He ordered this plate and they definitely pile up the food so you will get your monies worth !!

    i used to buy from China Wok until Covid hit and the owner took over cooking....food went down…read morehill; so we switched to KING CHEF 261 Treeland ave . Every was better there but this Sunday after discovering King Chef was closed ; we decided to try China Wok Again. BAD MOVE The fried chicken wings weren't just greasy , they were DRIPPING in OIL.. disgusting.... worst i had had. I also told him to drain the grease first ..Not Done The pancid i ordered was supposed to have noodles and vegetables. It was just about all noodles with a hint of carrots.. WILL NEVER RETURN.....you can't imagine how greasy and oily the chicken was ...most was thrown away. Just like what they did to my business...thrown away and back to King Chef.

That should have been my first clue NOT to go in! I ordered the Hibachi Chicken and the total came t about $15. It was about 75% rice and 25% chicken. The chicken was chewy and fatty. When I first received the to go order, (because there isn't much ambiance to dine in) I did ask the cashier if that was the correct amout of chicken? She just pointed to the menu above the register and said something i couldn't understand. I have been told that Yang's Kitchen restaurant is the very best in Ladson. The price for the Hibabchi Chicken according to their website is less that $10! They will get my business from now on.

The quality of the food is great, the flavors are superior and their customer service is excellent. One time I was going to pick-up some food and at the time they didn't have 'curbside'. I had my kids in the car with me and they just happened to fall asleep. If I went in to get the food, I would have to wake them up and I would have some cranky children for the rest of the day. I called the store, and she came out to my car to get my payment, asked and brought anything else we needed and even whispered to help keep the kiddos snoozing. All this, while it was raining outside. It's these little things that make me want to come back and support someone who has such a great heart and passion for what they do. Highly recommended! tell your friends! :)

    Woof. The food here is not only terrible but seems unfit for consumption. And it takes a lot for me…read moreto say that because I will eat (*try*) just about anything...but not this. My husband and I ordered take out. The first sign something was off, was the box our order came in: a flour tortilla wrap box. WTF?? Everything we ordered tasted like fake food. Like it came out of a machine or factory or somewhere untouched by humans. When we threw the food out, it left a weird slimy-looking dark residue on the inside of all the styrofoam boxes that would not rinse off. I've never seen anything like this. Needless to say, we were very turned off by the whole experience and I can say with certainty that we will not be back. Can't say I would recommend :(

There was teriyaki and sesame chicken but no generals or orange chicken. Several vegetable options. Dessert bar mostly instant pudding and such. There is a nice soft serve machine. Having a hibachi bar included is nice but the meats were mediocre. Just getting noodles and broccoli were good, though. At $20/person I'm not sure it's a value for the money. I did walk away full though!

    China Town Buffet - Summerville, SC is exactly what you expect...a solid, no-frills buffet…read more If you're going in looking for something fancy or mind-blowing, this isn't that--but if you just want a quick, filling meal with variety, it gets the job done. The selection had all the classics: fried rice, lo mein, shrimp, and your typical buffet favorites. The shrimp fried rice was decent and flavorful enough, and the lo mein with shrimp and veggies was fresh and hot when we went There were also a few extras like fried items and sides that round out the plate, making it easy to load up and try a little bit of everything. Portion-wise, you definitely won't leave hungry. Service was pretty standard for a buffet--nothing over the top, but everything moved along smoothly. The space is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick lunch or low-key dinner. Overall, it's not spectacular, but it's reliable. If you're in Summerville and just want a simple buffet-style meal without breaking the bank, this spot works

    Wow. Since the closing of our beloved Fortune Garden on University Blvd., we've desperately been in…read moresearch of a Chinese restaurant worthy of replacing our favourite Chinese spot for over a decade. We believe our search is over, and we declare Great Wall our new go-to spot. We walked up to the counter and the young man patiently took our order. We then sat down and noted most of the orders ready for take out were for rice and fried chicken. I became a little anxious, as our order seemed to drag on, and I wondered silently if we were set for another disappointment. We've been hoping to find a new restaurant before Christmas Day, as we've planned this as our yuletide meal this year, and we've been searching since Fortune Garden unexpectedly closed on New Years Day this year. Our order was finally called, we were granted our various sauces, we retrieved everything and headed home. We began unpacking everything from the brown paper bag and I noticed a couple of things immediately: our order was correct, the food was hot...but then, something else caught my eye. The egg foo young gravy. Now, if you're a connoisseur of the egg foo young, you've undoubtedly run across sub-par gravy: thick, lumpy, gray and not terribly inviting. This was not that gravy. The concoction was a dark brown, silky and smooth. The taste of egg foo young and gravy was heavenly. We then tried the house special fried rice and the egg rolls. Definitely closest to our beloved Fortune Garden. You should make Great Wall your new forever Chinese takeout restaurants. Maybe we'll see you there on Christmas!
