The Lucky Buffet is now my go to for Chinese food in St Albans. I like the lightly battered fried chicken wings, baked fish, chicken skewer, sautéed prawns. Food is mostly but not exclusively Chinese. I have seen spinach Florentine, roast beef, meatballs, roasted fingerling potatoes, and a seafood cheese bake. Did I mention 3 kinds of soups and a salad bar with peel and eat shrimps?

My family and I were visiting Vermont for the first time and wanted something quick to eat for dinner. We saw Lucky Buffet and thought that we would give it a look even though we had low expectations - I don't think of Chinese food when I think of Vermont. What a pleasant surprise. Excellent for at a good value! I highly recommend this restaurant to satisfy your Chinese food cravings.

We came at the dinner hour and I was hoping for the crab legs or something special due to the supper hours. However, was disappointed due to it being a review for just lunch hour specials. The food was tasty but nothibg to be wowed about. Before I had come here and when they had originally opened the restaurant. I bosted about how this buffet had upped the buffet game. However, now its meh. When I walked in there was 5 employees at the front and only 1 said hi. The others could have cared less I walked into their restaurant. Which thats a big turn off for me. The environment was somewhat clean. However, there was a pile of,serving spoons and tongs they have out exposed on the buffet line, which displayed that they are exposed to ppl touching them who potentially did not wash their hands. (Which honestly, its a buffet so thats probably why they have that idea doing that in the first place). The hibachi area wasn't open and I was looking towards that but no go there. I would care if I came back or not, but I sure won't bring my date here.

Jimmy's. That's what I call it. It's not the lucky Buffet, its the Buffit...and thus I'll call it Jimmy's. Why? Cause I freaking said so, ok? Yeah, we used to go to the St Albans Cafeteria up near Rite Aid....and it was ok. Actually, i kind of miss their mediocrity. I dunno, Jimmy's has a lot of options, like, an ass load....but I never seem entirely satisfied. Also, if you're sensitive to temperature and smell you might want to go on an off peak hour. The AC in there is ok, but it doesn't really make a huge dent. Combine that with a billion of St Albans finest packed in like cattle and you get the sweet combination of heat and stank. Just being honest. That aside, its not bad. If you're up for all you can eat chicken fingers, pizza and pineapple, then Jimmy's is gonna be like a jackpot for you.

Food is well prepared & quite good. I'm not usually a fan of buffet style restaurants but this is the exception.

I love their food. I get takeout once a week and the waitress always remembers me and gives me 3 fortune cookies.

This is my favorite take-out Chinese place in St. A…read more Sesame Chicken is my go-to meal. It usually pretty good. The last time I went tho, there was too much breading on my chicken and left me biting into mostly bread. It still tastes pretty decent tho. Today I decided to be a little more adventurous and try something new! I picked Orange Chicken. It had a odd taste about it, maybe it was the slight hint of rice vinegar. I'm not much of a fan of vinegar! Other than that, it was decent, but won't be buying it again. Chicken fingers were yummy and, if I remember correctly, so are the chicken and beef teriyaki sticks! Got a side of white rice in a container. Maybe I'll give making some homemade fried rice a try with it!

I have been a big fan of Oriental Kitchen since they opened, but last night's experience has proven…read morethat they are quickly going downhill. We order online. It's more convenient since we have to drive 15 miles and time it with errands. After placing the order at 5pm and scheduling the pick-up at 6:45, we had the confirmation number in hand and an email of our order. At 6:45, we went to pick up the order and the staff seemed very confused. Nothing was ready and the order they pulled up and started to fill was not ours. One of the women then looked the order up online and found the correct order. At that point, everything had to be cooked still. We didn't get our food until 7:30. No discount for the mistake, no true apology, just a lot of blame thrown around from one worker to the other. Now that the ordering fiasco was over, we went home with our food. In the rush, the lack of attention to the food cooking properly wasn't ideal. The chicken wings were not fully cooked. Other foods, like the spring rolls and black pepper chicken, were horribly greasy, something I've never experienced from Oriental Kitchen before. After this, we've decided that we won't return. St. Albans has another Chinese that is just as good as Oriental Kitchen used to be.
