As far as Chinese buffets in this area go, this restaurant was highly recommended by our friends. We were pleasantly surprised by how huge the restaurant is. Lots of seating and tables. When you walk in, the host brings you to a table and asks for your drink order. Then, you're free to go to peruse and choose your food. There are three rows of food, plus the raw oysters, hibachi fixings & STEAK!!! On the far wall are more desserts - cake, mousse, cookies & ice cream. My husband loved choosing his own steak and how to cook it on the grill. For me, the food was tasty, but it was the vast variety that won me over. Good experience. $17.99/pax for dinner. read more

I used to really like this place but I honestly think EVERYTHING has gotten worse. Much of the food is bland and boring, and I'm really not even that picky! The worst thing is the service. More often than not, someone will yell and wave at you from halfway across the restaurant to get your attention instead of walking up to you and greeting you. Sometimes you'll be seated at a large table with other people, even though there's plenty of open seating available. The servers never smile. And if you're at the buffet putting food on your plate and an employee is going around with her cart restocking items, she seems offended that you're in her way. It's just become a very unpleasant place to eat. read more

It was surprisingly good and a lot of options to choose from. The staff were kind, and the place was clean

No crab legs. Cold food. Does not taste like authentic Chinese food. Please don't go here. Wong Wong take out in Rockford is authentic food.

I've gone here several times in the past 6 months and it seems as if their service and food quality has gone downhill. The waitresses never smile, they'll seat us at tables with other people, and they yell at us from across the room to be seated rather than coming up to greet us. Friendly service really goes a long way, but they're not providing that anymore. Some of my favorite items like the Green Beans and Hot n Sour Soup are not seasoned well anymore, and are significantly better at other buffets, but it's mostly the service that needs a change. read more

Food quality has dropped. They cannot keep the food in the buffet just a terrible place to come to now.

They had a good amount of selections and a small hibachi area. Most of the food was very good. They lack a lot of seafood options though. The service wasn't the greatest, but it's a buffet, it's mainly self serve. Overall it was very good read more

Definitely a unique atmosphere and full experience of Chinese Buffet!! Excellent food, plenty of good cheer!

Great selection of food, but you need to go there early so the food is fresh. The sushi is decent and if you'd like raw oysters and mussels, that is pretty fresh read more

Love love love this!!!! Wow so much steak and lovely seafood!- blessing indeed! Vantron is the most fun I've ever had with a big brand! I feel so honored! Love you! read more

Amazing food decent service food comes out quick within minutes. Decent dessert as well

I don't know why I can't seem to pass by a Chinese buffet when I'm traveling. It's my guilty pleasure and here I am at 5pm on a weeknight. Above average as far as cleanliness and selection. The tables and chairs are in good shape and the floor is clean. The steam tables were tidy and well stocked with many different options. I was pleased to be able to put together plates of nearly all proteins and avoid much of the sweet sauces and the carbs. Beef, chicken, pork, shrimp and surimi (that's what the fake krab is called) and I was good. This buffet also has a hibachi set up where you load up your own plate of veggies and meats and sauces, then the cook prepares your custom-made stir fry. I don't usually do that but I did here and it turned out well. It is included in the buffet price but you should definitely pop a dollar in his tip jar if you do so. Overall, a positive experience. I ate my fill of different foods that I enjoyed and had no after-problems. [Review 17188 overall - 105 in Illinois - 705 of 2022.] read more

It's okay for a buffet. I like buffets, but I definitely grade them on an easier scale. The food doesn't have to be as good, if there's a lot of it and if there's a big variety. But I do want it to be decent. This was decent, but nothing amazing. I had a couple of plates, and didn't want any more, or anything else. Meats were a little tough, the vegetables were fresh enough, but not great, the variety was OK but not as diverse as I had hoped it would be. They did have hibachi. The place seemed a little crowded and a little dirty on a weekday evening. And, I got there late enough that I had to pay dinner prices. I would be a happier customer if I had paid lunch prices for this middle of the road food. But, it got my stomach full and got me back on the road. read more

Quantity of food and selection is good. The quality of the food is average to poor. Best advice is get there right when they open. read more

Workers are Great, Food Tastes amazing but the people who come here to eat need to get drop kicked and force fed soap to give them a reason to cough on the food Otherwise Good read more

Food was fresh and hot. It's a buffet so the service wasn't really an issue and it was a typical Chinese buffet decorated appropriately. Good food and reasonable price would eat here again. read more

Haven't been here in years and decided to dine here since it's the only decent buffet in town. They asked for IDs for our kids when trying to seat us. When we gave them the ages they sent another person to questioned us. I'm not sure what changed but that was not welcoming and we will not be eating here ever. read more

Buffets are always hit and miss for me. A close friend loves them so I tagged along. Pros: + No shortage of food items. You should be able to find something you like. +Love the Hibachi station. It's a nice touch and seems to customize the experience a little +Adequate parking General comments (Take these for what it is): 1. We had 5 adults, 1 kid. Worked out to a little over $100 in terms of cost 2. Service was pretty average. I got thristy once or twice, but not enough to the point where it upset me. In their defense they were pretty busy at the time. Cons: -As with any buffet, some items are kinda meh. Some options are too simlar to another. A ton of fried items will scare away any person that cares about healthy eating. -Defifinately one of the "busier" environments I've seen in a buffet Bottom line: I like the place enough where I would be back, but it would have to be based on the mood and the crowd I'm with. A worthy dining spot nonetheless read more

Was excited to see this Chinese buffet close by. Place is very busy, even on a week night. They have a good variety, though they do not keep up with refilling what's empty. The place is dirty. Tables sticky, sloppy buffet with no one cleaning it up. Floors sticky. No one friendly at all from hostess to server to manager. read more

Do not recommend if you're actually looking for a decent place to eat. They can't seem to keep the buffet filled with the most desirable items. parents are allowed to let their little children serve themselves with no guidance and run a muck. Staff is very slow to serve you but quick to take your money. As I hate to say it this place makes Golden Corral look like a 5 star restaurant read more

Raw food, they didn't not care. We go regularly and this time just wasn't good at all. read more

I go this Buffet all the time and it's amazing and always has the best quality Chinese and American food combinations around. They also have endless Sushi / fried Sashimi their special version of deep fried Sushi :). They have Hibachi Grill and Chef were you can pile your plate high with all sorts of tasty meats and treats with uniques sauces and they will let you know when your dinner is done. Lastly, the best part you can pay a little extra to by New York Steak and some Beer if you feel like that too. All of this can be yours for low price of $19.55 a person for a Dinner Buffet and even cheaper during the day. P.S. I want to personally thank all of your restaurant staff for keeping the lights on and still allowing me to eat at your Buffet after 9 pm when you close your restaurant at 930 pm. Especially, to your head cashier who offered me to take home any food I wanted for free and gave me a reward card to earn a free buffet meal in the future. Mad Props to all of the staff at the Golden Choptsticks Buffet. Sincerely, K.C. Scott Horton read more

You're typical Chinese buffet. Will you be wowed? No. Will you be full? Yes. Will you see a health code violation or two? Maybe. But what else is there to expect. My drink stayed full, they took plates timely. read more

Best bang for your buck here, they definitely have decent food. The grill is always on point . I love coming here before 3 . It's so cheep for the amount of food you can get . read more

VERY RUDE & UNFRIENDLY STAFF (servers, cooks, kitchen staff). It takes forever to replenish salmon and other high demand (and additional cost) items after 3 pm. Do NOT waste your time, energy, and money. It's NOT worth it! (Management was made aware of concerns at time of departure) read more

Food is the usual fare you could expect from a Chinese buffet. What make it stand out from the rest is the Hibachi Grill where you could choose your meat/veggie-and sauce cooked in front of you...service is prompt and courteous. Ambience is standard casual Chinese buffet with more food to chose from....you pretty much get your money's worth! read more

The food is amazing the service is great The decor would make you come back on its own read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon, parking was a little difficult but doable. We were greeted and seated right away. The staff was neither kind or rude just there. None of our drinks were refilled but the dirty plates were cleared away very promptly as soon as they were put at the end of the table. As for the buffet everything was kept full and fresh the whole time we were there. The restaurant on the whole could use an update but everything was clean, just dated and worn. read more

I was so surprised! This place has great food and not just a few pieces in the pan like most. There are so many choices, we even ordered a New York steak cooked at the grill. At 11.99 pp it's an amazing choice! read more

Muggy and subpar quality. We have a Chinese buffet in Sycamore that blows this place out of the water. read more

I've been to many a Chinese buffet in my life and this place ranks in the low middle. It had all the usual items...anemic sushi rolls (no nigiri), standard soups, pizza, lots of fried things, a "Mongolian buffet" where they cook your stir-fry on a flat top, salad and desserts, and Americanized Chinese food with a heavy emphasis on chicken dishes. No carving station, nothing more authentic. Tiny oysters were good thoroughly washed so they had no flavor. A waitress brought me to my table and asked for my drink order. She brought the drink quickly but I never saw her again until she dropped of the check. I never got another drink (even water) the whole time I was there. The room temp was set kinda high. I won't be back. read more

I think this is the best Chinese Buffet I've ever eaten at. The food is very flavorful & tasty. There is a huge selection. They have a nice sized fresh sushi bar, although I don't eat sushi. If you can't find something at this buffet that you think is tasty I'd be very surprised. read more

save your money they always running out of food. I believe they only have one cook. Ive been there 3 different times and they are still running out of food and you have to wait! read more

We were looking for a Chinese buffet with a tasty variety and they delivered. Pans don't stay empty for long. There's even some American food if you are worried your kids might be picky so we're going to bring the kids back next time but honestly there's stuff my kids will eat. They have a hibachi grill you can build a bowl and they'll cook it. There's some sushi rolls. I didn't realize how big this place is. We managed to walk right in but soon after there was a huge line and when we left the line packed the lobby. I would have given five stars if not for the long line to pay to the end. Seems like they need permanent people at host/register during rush. Good problems to have. We'll be back. read more

Good place for good food and a nutritional quick meal. Staff is friendly and service for take out is excellent.

this place sucks and has a mandatory tip in the bill included just to screw you over some more there was no food barely and that place was packed. read more

Food was cold. Even egg rolls were COLD when in sitting in the pan. The floor was unsafe. My cane slipped on it. And, my tennis shoes even slipped. One more thing ... the rug runners were not secure for seniors. And the table we sat at had about 10 gouges in it. NOT TINY. Some were 1/2" long. read more

Only thing that was good was the service. I wish I spent my money elsewhere. The food was flavorless and full of fat pieces. Very disappointed. read more

Found this on Google on a trip in Illinois and absolutely loved it. The food was incredible and service was friendly and fast.

Food here is pretty good when I went the person who does the hibachi grill was not at the stand for it otherwise in my opinion they don't really have much to choose from read more
