First off, this place is filthy and the furniture is dirty, broken, and not even straight. Booths are crooked and tables are wobbly. That, unfortunately is the good news. The Chinese food, (Cheesy shrimp? More like popcorn shrimp swimming in melted Velveeta) what there was of it, was horrible. Besides being dry and old, it tasted sour and some of it wasn't even recognizable. I had a plate of it and quickly abandoned that idea. I went back and got mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, and chicken. Two bites in I realized that the chicken was sour. Less than an hour after eating, and almost before I was in my hotel room, I was sweating and trying to get to the bathroom before a very embarrassing event occurred. I will be calling the health department tomorrow. read more

We went to Hong Kong Buffet yesterday around 5pm and I will say I was pleasantly surprised! It was an excellent buffet that offered both Chinese and American cuisine. I have tried several Chinese buffets in the past and was far from being impressed. However, this buffet was wonderful! The food was beautifully seasoned as well as warm/hot. The egg rolls are delicious and the Crab Rangoon was the best I have ever had. The price is reasonable, $12.95, and they offered a military discount. I want to also mention our server was very sweet, had a smile on her face and eager to please. I'm sorry I don't have her name . We will most certainly visit again before leaving the area. read more

Food was not good. The restaurant was hot. It was a flashback to the Chevy Chase family reunion when he went and ate buffet at the casino.

I will say, the food is not the greatest but will do. now in the other hand the servers need to be trained on health and hygiene. I just saw a waitress take her shoe and rubbed and scratch her feet in the dinning are and continued to served customers with out washing her hand. that is way to nasty to stay. so we just left. do not recommend this place. read more

There is a great selection of choices. My favorite was the chicken rice noodles and the mushroom veggies! The restaurant is very clean and spacious. The staff was very attentive and our waitress Rachel was super nice! So if you are looking for something where everyone can have many choices and plenty of room this is a great choice. They have to go which is nice too if you just want to go home and relax. Very affordable! read more

Really nice Buffett. Tho lil ice cream cups. I'd recommend this place. It's a all u can eat place.

not very good at all. some of the food was cold and then some was just old. such a bummer was expecting a little better

yucko. everything, every dish, was brown. awful buffet. couldn't even tell that the shrimp were shrimp. i do not recommend.

Firstly, for a supposedly Chinese restaurant, I was quite disappointed that the hostess didn't speak a word of Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin. I tried both.) It was difficult to communicate, as my English is not very fluent. I'm using Google translate to write this review. Secondly, the food is all dry and largely flavorless. The only thing I enjoyed was the hot tea. 1/10 would not recommend. read more

I don't believe this place deserves the low star rating it currently has! The variety of foods offered in the buffet were great with average to above average taste. I particularly enjoyed the egg rolls, grilled chicken, rice and crab rangoon. The servers were attentive and the buffet was fresh and appealing. Can't tell you how many times someone came out to wipe spills on the buffet bar and check the quality of the food. Lots of great dishes for a fair price, especially for a family looking to balance the budget of eating out in Branson. -------------- - - - - - - THE DETAILS Date & Time: Thursday, July 19th, 2012 @ 2:15pm Dining Companions: wife and children What to expect: great presentation, well beyond the typical buffet http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Hy_1D9T4NeRtPNV3dVVeOA?userid=JjXuiru1_ONzDkYVrHN0aw#WhP8Ryxr740VETTh_WXTXA Decor: typical asian buffet, clean restrooms ~~~Ordered~~~ Adults buffet - $6.59 Children's buffet - $2.99 Soda - $1.59 Dislikes: NONE Total: $27.81 (family of 4) -------------- - - - - - - OTHER NOTES: Service - 5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Hy_1D9T4NeRtPNV3dVVeOA?userid=JjXuiru1_ONzDkYVrHN0aw#frv3WWwPb7TgsaUSWXYjOg Selection - 4.5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Hy_1D9T4NeRtPNV3dVVeOA?userid=JjXuiru1_ONzDkYVrHN0aw#rp-_CzXgeHxEMnucBudu-w Food - 3 to 3.5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Hy_1D9T4NeRtPNV3dVVeOA?userid=JjXuiru1_ONzDkYVrHN0aw#pc3duFeR4EcfAlMBOfdKYw Dining Decor - 3 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Hy_1D9T4NeRtPNV3dVVeOA?userid=JjXuiru1_ONzDkYVrHN0aw#awX-gmAqC9FU3OC1hdUO_w read more

We were staying on Tablerock Lake and wanted some cheap carry out since we couldn't get delivery up where we were staying. We drove into town, dealt with awful Branson traffic, stocked up on liquor at CVS, and asked the checker at CVS to guide us to some takeout Chinese. We struggled up 76 for twenty minutes, finally got to Hong Kong and the buffet left a lot to be desired... It was 6:20ish and it had seemingly been sitting out for a REALLY long time. I wasn't touching the sushi bar, nor anything that wasn't thoroughly cooked. Everything, honestly, was very bland... lacking in flavor. We bought by the pound and I sampled virtually every meat entree they had on the stir-fry component bar. Upon returning to our condo I sampled each item, including the rangoons. Rangoons, no flavor. The Sesame Chicken...no flavor. The Orange Chicken... no flavor. The Bourbon Chicken - even...no flavor. Very very bland. I was frustrated by this, but we decided to chalk it up as a loss, drown our sorrows in the cheap CVS wine, and make it better with gorgeous lake view on Tablerock with 60 degree weather in December. It did indeed make up for the really rough buffet takeout. read more

NOT RECOMMENDED! I was greeted when I came in the door. Nice start. Was asked if I would like a booth or table choose booth. Asked as seated beverage choice which I had sweet tea. Went to the buffet and loaded up the plate. Kung pow was spiced well. egg drop soup just fine. and I added a baked glazed chicken drumstick. The food overall was decent yet mostly on the bland side. The chicken drumstick was undercooked mild temp and pink on the inside. Took a small piece and ugh tasted bland and microwaved. The restaurant claims all food is freshly cooked daily. Chicken needs to be cooked thru or you may become very sick quick. As for the wait staff 15 mins. in no service to refill my sweet tea. I had to say excuse me to get a waiter to come to my table. I showed him the undercooked chicken and he seemed uninterested and walked away. finally 5 mins. later asian lady comes to my table finally and I show her the undercooked chicken and she replied ok and took away the plate and gave me my bill for the buffet. I was told as I was escorted to my table upon arrival the buffet for lunch was 11.95 and I said ok great. During my dining experience I observed the man and the woman on their phones as well as you could hear a tv show playing in a small side room next to the buffet and I was seated at the other end of the buffet tables. So I go to counter to pay and leave and the lady tells me its 16 dollars and change total. I replied I was quoted 11.95 for the lunch buffet. and now is over 16 dollars???. She simply turned around and pointed to the sign which said it is 2.95 for a beverage. I said ok so it's my fault for not asking the total out the door price before dining right. I said I was not told this. look I can more than afford the 3 dollars however it is deceptive to not be told this when I came in. I said how long have you worked here and she said since 2014. I said most certainly others have said same that the drink price was added to the price. She replied I am the very first person to ever complain about this. I find that to be very hard to be truthful. I also mentioned the chicken which she asked if I told server I said yes the guy I stopped and the asian lady that sat me. The owner of the restaurant came forward and I explained the chicken and the workers on their phones. No apoligies no ok sorry lets take the bev off the ticket or much concern for undercooked food. The experience was not good. Inside the restaurant the whole place is outdated decor and overall dirty. I had to go to the beverage station myself to refill my sweet tea twice as the uncaring staff was busy on their cellphones completely disconnected from service to the customers. Only 8 other people dining in the restaurant. I really doubt the food is freshly cooked daily. Most likely thrown in the coolers nightly and then reheated the following day. I will be bringing this deceptive beverage price not disclosed to diners to the next tuesday aldermans branson city council meeting as it most definitely is not ok to run a business this way. I have lived in Branson for a 1 1/2 years and was really hopeful this would be my new go to place for Chinese food. If you are willing to pass on Chinese food but would like to do a buffet style restaurant go to Grand Country Buffet on the strip or head over to the Pizza Ranch on the 248. These 2 establishments got it right with friendly servers. Very clean and consistent food and drink every visit. I vote with my feet and they will not be landing at Hong Kong Buffet every again. Overall I would tell all to steer clear of HONG KONG BUFFET. Upset and highly disappointed in Branson. read more

Food and service was good. Our drinks were always full and all the used plates were off the table.

We love Chinese buffets, so we tried this one out. The food was what you'd expect at most Chinese buffets and of similar quality. The building could use a good cleaning - floor was sticky. Lighting was on the dim side, although you could see food etc fine. We received immediate seating and the host/waitress was friendly and quick. The buffet itself was clean. We left satisfied with our visit. read more

Ok sisters I LOVEEEEE their food, but I was a little disappointed when I went in to dine at the buffet. When I sat down after loading my plate with everything it had to offer, I couldn't help notice that there were ants literally everywhere. So beware! Also the ice cream was bomb read more

Hong Kong Buffet - My dog Bc I didn't take a pic - Chinese Near Me - Branson, Missouri

I live in Branson and enjoy this restaurant so much! It's the go-to restaurant for me and my friends after Holy Mass.

Not a bad buffet. Plenty of food and was kept rotated. Service was okay. Wasn't the largest buffet, however was a good variety of options. Items for children available also. read more

If there was a 1/2 Star option I would of used it, and someone please tell me what cheesy shrimp is. I've had better Chinese food at a Mexican buffet, I'm not sure if it's just the Midwest but they really haven't figured it out yet. read more

We enjoyed this buffet. Restaurant was fairly clean, it just has a funky vibe to it. The decor is not appealing. Good variety of foods and all foods were kept fresh. I really liked one of the noodle dishes and loved one of the mushroom dishes. . I would eat here again when visiting Branson. read more

Very accommodating and greeted us nicely. Excellent choices of food. All just cooked and fresh. Clean. We will comeback. Fully recommended!

Good selection of items, great service. In my visits there the food was fresh and frequently refreshed. A good value for the price.

Before I start I would like for you to review my Review if you found it helpful, funny etc... OK, I can't do any better the 2 star. I eat at more traditional Chinese buffets ( with Chinese people actually eating there ) Since, I read the reviews here on Yelp, I though I give it a go. I know right away we entered a American cratered buffet when my wife greeted the host in Mandarin and they replied I don't speak Chinese. But, that did not stop us since we knew we were in Branson MO. Well guess what... Pasty heavy food! meaning they are adding flour to the dishes to make you feel full ( old trick ) they served NO FISH dishes at all, unless you like the imitation crab, and mostly fried items, they served a stir fry Chicken and next to it sat Stir fried Beef. The boneless ribs were pretty good though. Soup- count not break the skin layer to get the spoon out ( no soup for me ) Salad bar - not to many items but fresh enough to eat Desert bar - Like someone else posted plentiful , frozen ice milk soft serve, sugar donuts , cookies, cakes and apple and peach cobbler. Waiter service - was there but, did not interact unless they were grabbing the plates we had placed on the table next to us to free up some room (we were 4 adults - 1 kid) at a table for 6. Oh, I think it is something with Branson MO, I could not get away from flies? they are everywhere! So, it did not surprise me when a few came to pester us while we ate our lunch. I think Lia Lia in Hollister, MO 65672 may have been a better bet, but they are closed from 2 to 4pm.. read more

When the waiter asked if everything was okay , I wanted to say yes everything but the food lol.. Just not what I'm used to..... they were missing my sweet n sour chicken which was replaced by fried chicken nugget things the rice was stale just to much to name... i hate writing bad reviews but to be serious here i rather have went to mcdonalds and i love chinese food just trust me. i read a review saying they been in business for a long time. i bet they have because of tourist like me haha the best thing was my ice water! yum read more

Yuck yuck and YUCK! I suggest that you go somewhere else. This place was really sad. The food was all cold maybe warm at best. read more

GROSS!!! Ice cream was expired TWO YEARS AGO. And the food isnt good!! Very disappointed

do not DoorDash and expect food to be right or the restaurant to make right. restaurant blames door dash, door dash blames restaurant, so we had to reorder, repay, and then go get the food we already paid for. buyer beware. read more

It was okay. Average Chinese food, except for the literal hair that i pulled out of a piece of chicken. (to clarify: couldn't have been mine, this was long and black and i'm a ginger and have super short hair) read more

Not the worst takeout I have ever had, but definitely bad. Won tons were rock tons, soup not flavorful, chop suey with pork...the char su pork had absolutely no flavor. Forgot the noodles in my order. Can make a statement written in stone....will never eat here again, and I live here! Had we eaten inside, we would have sent everything back and left. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Looked small on the outside, but huge on the inside! Very clean and very fresh food. Everything tasted amazing. Staff was super friendly and kind. They had cookies and small ice cream tubs. Big buffet. Highly recommend :) read more

We came to go to a nearby attraction but the family insisted on Chinese buffet. Since this is the only one in town this is where we landed.... terrible.... should have just went to McDonald's. Not much Chinese food and the Chinese food they do have is terrible; from the Lo Mein to the egg drop soup. Choose another place.... any other place really. read more

I wish I would have looked here before coming here to eat. They had a small selection of Asian food most of which was horrible. The rest was their version of American food. Do not waste your money unless you are dying of starvation and this is the only thing within 500 miles. read more

My husband and I were craving some good Chinese food so we thought we would give this a try. Lacked many of the staples that you would normally see at a Chinese buffet. We left entirely disappointed. read more

I normally do not review... However I feel obligated! First off our Waitress was good , kept drinks and took plates. The food bar small but hey that's ok.... nothing on that bar had flavor and I mean NOTHING. Most of the food looked like it was stagnet , has been sitting even the food that was "fresh" right on the buffet. It really was an odd experience with the food choices that served.... fried chicken pieces next to the sweet for the sweet and sour sauce ? Mash potatoes and white gravy...? I mean It would be nice to think well they are given a variety if those weren't gross and flavorless as well...Im really not one to complain... I pretty much eat anything and everything.... however my family of four were honestly terrified if we continued to eat we would be throwing up along with diarrhea.. to make matters worse we went to the bathroom (my girls and I) came back and my daughters phone was missing off the table.. we went up to the counter to ask about it.. the lady said well can she put the passcode in it... she did and they gave it to us. Do yourself a favor and pick somewhere else please! Notice this restaurant has 2 stars for a reason.... that's what I get for thinking everything in Branson is delicious! (Most of it is ) read more

This place was terrible, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. All items on the buffet were luke warm, all the sauce dishes were pasty and the servicer had little attention to detail. He filled my wife's ice tea with Pepsi when he was topping off drinks. Don't be fooled by the constantly packed parking lot, it's got to be employees. read more

The waitress was nice and very hard working. The place was dirty. The food was gross. Over cooked veggies. I normally eat 5 plates of Chinese but I ate 1 and was grossed out. Don't recommend this place. Also the fruits tasted like it's been sitting in a open can for years! Gross! Please just give up and close your restaurant. Even the workers looked like they were wondering why we were eating this nasty food. read more

Poor food, bourbon chicken tasted like koolaid with cinnamon. The only thing good was the crab ragoon.

I don't know why they have only 2 stars. This place is amazing. It is the best Asian buffet I have ever seen. The food tastes better than Asian restaurants. There is so much to choose from. Perfect!! Amazing!!! read more

In the past three weeks, I visited here five occasions, always Drive-Thru as the Dining Room is closed. On each occasion my order was exactly the same - one order of Orange Chicken. On none of the five visits did I receive the same food, even though orders were identical. Quantities varied greatly as did content. One night received a good amount of food, and an egg roll. Next time, no egg roll. Next time, received maybe half the quantity of food, with an egg roll and two crab rangoons. Always different quantities and different contents, sometimes hot, other times only barely warm ...... for the same identical order, and always the same identical price. Some days, staff seemed friendly and other times, as if they didn't read more

We found a screw in our meal. Thankful no one got hurt!! We showed them the screw- they were not concerned and would not even give a refund. read more
