I tried Sherman No. 5 Buffet and honestly... I wish I hadn't. I'll give credit where it's due -- the portions are huge for the price. If you're starving and not picky at all (and I mean not picky at all), you might feel like you got your money's worth. But quality? That's a completely different story. The food was some of the blandest I've ever had. I even added soy sauce to the rice and it still tasted flat and off. The chicken didn't even really taste like chicken, which was concerning. The orange chicken had this strange flavor -- almost like it had been sitting on orange peels too long, with an odd aftertaste I couldn't ignore. The teriyaki chicken was probably the most tolerable, but it was really fatty. The salt and pepper chicken was just okay -- nothing special. What really says it all: I threw the food away. I've never done that before in my life, especially not with fast food. I didn't even want to save it or share it -- it was that unpleasant. I actually came here because someone at Panda Express recommended "Sherman's," but I think they meant a different location. This one on Pershing completely missed the mark for me. Huge portions, low price... but not worth it. read more

Ok first of all let me say we come here almost once every week and the food is really good!! My favorite is the soup and the saltpepper chicken!! The garlic chicken is good but the other is really better!! It's a small place to sit down and eat but not bad for the price!!! But over all is the really nice ladies that work here are great!!! One that knows us because of me working for the teamsters!! I think it was her husband that used to work at a union spot!! So she always takes care of us when we come to sit down or even take out!! So after all This!! It has earned the 5th star!! And if you know me I don't give this out that easy!! But this place because of her really deserves this! So when you are close come check it out!! There are others in Stockton but this is the best of all of them!!! read more

Honestly the food here just wasn't good. The orange chicken especially was a letdown, it had a weird taste and texture, almost like biting into bread instead of chicken. I didn't even finish my food. Definitely not coming back to this location. read more

Sherman's Buffet #5 - Orange chicken and rice. 2 item. - Chinese Near Me - Stockton, California

Ok. I don't like giving our best eating spots. Becomes crowded. After 46 years in Stockton, this is where inflation and food portions didn't meet. Now you know, the quality is excellent. It's where locals go. I will now wait in line read more

My grandchildren (17, 16, 11 & 10 years old) and I ordered the all-you-can eat buffet for $10.95 each. The restaurant itself is small but clean and neat. The selection is not as extensive as larger buffets, but there is a good variety of typical Chinese-American dishes, including fried chicken - and you can't beat the price. The staff was friendly and checked on us to see if we needed anything. We all went up for seconds and enjoyed our meals. The only negative I can say is that the cream cheese wontons and egg rolls had a lot of (corn starch gravy?) filler instead of cream cheese filling or vegetables/meat. Again, though, those are appetizers, and the entrees more than made up for them - hence the 5 stars. read more

Money well spent they are not stingy with the portions & I love the fried green beans must try

Love this location! Plenty of parking. Prices are what got me here but the service, food, flavor & quality is what won me over. It's all chicken! They do have bbq pork option but that is only a to-go option. I had never seen or even tried bbq chicken ever because it's never been offered at any Chinese restaurant I've ever been too it's only ever been bbq pork, so when I seen it here and decided to try it. My life was changed! So good. Everything from their Mongolian chicken, orange chicken, salt & pepper chicken (a personal favorite but can be really greasy!) They offer to go plates or they have indoor seating and have an all you can eat buffet option which is super cool to me! They have canned drinks or fountain! Service is superb! Always friendly, and they pack your plate to the rim! The only thing I don't really enjoy from this location is their rice.. it's too bland for me, but I just get chickens from here and make my own rice at home. Win win. Their prices and unbeatable! Extremely affordable for quality tasting food! read more

What nice ladies plus delicious food. Definitely need to try the combo won ton soup! Yhe walnut shrimp is yummy, plus both of their fried chicken dishes. read more

Food is disgusting ordered any two items and I didn't know it doesn't come with rice but I ordered the beef chow fun which had no beef no other veggies just noodles no flavor. Then I had orange chicken which did not taste good at all. I prefer Panda Express orange chicken over their orange chicken. Don't come here for the Buffett not worth it threw my food away! read more

We got food for take out. At the old Dave Wongs Deli location. The food is good and tasty! The salt & pepper chicken & the garlic chicken is boneless. So nice. Lots dishes to choose from. The orange chicken is tender and good Lots of choices to pick from. They give hearty portions and the server was so kind and pleasant. I got 4 items and was $8.75. People were sitting enjoying their meals. The buffet is clean & perfectly stocked with fresh choices. Go there if you take it out you will have leftovers for lunch the next day. read more

First timer here, The food was so good & Fresh and the environment was a very traditional Chinese takeout vibe. The portions are amazing! The cashier was very lovely too. I'd definitely come back for more soon. The bbq pork is their best seller & their Kung pao is delicious. read more

Food: good selections. They offer buffet which is nice Service: fast Ambiance: not much to say. Small but effective, people are in and out! Try the chicken like katsu! Good! Try the vegetable tempura when it's fresh and hot! Awesome!! read more

They definitely pile it on for the price. One plate can feed 2-3 people. We ordered chow mien, fried rice, Mongolian chicken, kung pow chicken and, sweet and sour pork. Everything was good but we all agreed the moligan chicken was not the best and would not order it again. Kung pow chicken was just okay. The cuts of chicken were not great and very chewy. You do feel rushed to order for takeout by the workers but they are also trying to keep up with the buffet line as well. We will be back again to try other stuff on the menu though, really can't beat the price. read more

- limited choices and quick service - food looks like it has been sitting and not tasty. - very cheap prices and dark/inactive ambiance - go here if you want something cheap, unhealthy, that can fill you up read more

Well this was a shocker. Usually visually a place like this makes me turn it away. Similar appearance restaurants like this I've had bad experiences, but this is a real gem. The quality of food is great! Prices are very reasonable. Only add on is if you want to get bbq pork which is a separate charge from the buffet but it's still A steal. Skip Panda and come here. read more

Sherman's Buffet #5 - Soup was really good - Chinese Near Me - Stockton, California

I went in at 8:00PM and they close at 9PM the lady at the counter, advised me she didn't think it would be fair because we only have an hour to eat, which was completely fine with me. Thats all I needed. The ladies in here are very nice and tentative. The establishment is well taken care of and clean. The food is sooo good. I'm so glad I finically tried it. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Located where the old Dave Wong's Deli use to be on Pershing and Robinhood. Staff is always very nice and food is delicious, restaurant is clean (take out or sit down) and the price is very affordable! We usually get the 4 item combo for $8.95 (what a great deal!) and they literally "pack" the food in the styrofoam food container. (Hint: if you want chow fun (thick noodles), come before 3pm). There are 4 other Sherman Buffets (#1-4) so you'll be able to get to one near you. PS Their garlic chicken is boneless! read more

Went here today never again I go to the one on Thorton, but it was closed for vacation I should have followed my first mind and went to a crab spot. Not crab zone. The food here on Pershing was not tasty like Thorton and it was thrown together and some items didn't look done the garlic chicken was awful glad I took it apart and took a couple of bites the salt and pepper shrimp wasn't seasoned I had to ask for something to drink as long as I been going to Shermans on Thorton they never been closed for vacation I hope that's the reason but since I went here on Pershing I'm cool on them all I'm not going to chance it and get sick like I felt when I left. Be cautious read more

Food was okay Ambiance was neutral Service was slow. Waited in line to pay for over 10 minutes. Asked twice if i could pay to the servers and they looked at me and ignored me. After waiting a long time to pay they told me "Next time come to the cashier" and i *was* at the cashier waiting in line for over 10 minutes! read more

Love this place. I used to work right around the corner. It's delicious and they load up your plate. You're going to get almost 2 portions for the price of one. read more

The food was beyond disgusting! Everything was cold! They didn't even have the diet Pepsi working. They offered me a pop can of Diet Pepsi but it was beyond warm! I literally threw up from how terrible the food was once I left back home. I grabbed spoonfuls of what I thought was walnut shrimp but they had fried chicken and shrimp mixed together in the dish. They don't even have salt and pepper packets. They had sriracha sauce that was water down and had whole a bunch of salt in it. The only thing you were able to taste was salt. There wasn't no spice to the sriracha sauce. I came for Mothers Day! I will never be coming back here again! read more

I've been meany times but I alway get it to go. Very good food and friendly staff it's nice that they don't have too many choices so not to get overwhelmed. And it's a clean place. Only 2 bathrooms (single person) and no changing tables but they are clean. read more

Orange chicken was really good, I didn't get much flavor from the chow main or fried rice. Would like more flavor on both

Food was not good. Chowmein noodles were extremely dry and flavorless. Rude service. They pass a dirty rag on the tables to "clean" them and the front is always a mess because of their buffet option. read more

Good price, good food. Customer service was a little tough but generally speaking the restaurant was good. I've gone back 1 times already.

Clean atmosphere - extremely friendly staff. Wide variety of selections. Amazing prices, good hours... 10 out of 10. I highly recommend

I like this place! Good portions and good food. Great place to stop for the after school meal for those hungry kids.

#5 The servers are so nice. The grandkids enjoyed their experience here. Their food was good considering it was just a quick place to grab a bite. It was clean. read more

WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EVERYONE! The time for lunch and dinner for buffet is outrageous! They are scamming people. Who the fuck does have dinner for 3pm? They charge me for dinner rate but i came for lunch. Food is greasy as you can chug a whole gallon of oil. Food is NOT GOOD! Order in food express instead. NOT GOOD AMBIANCE, hot place to eat, staffs are rude and greedy of money to be charge on dinner rate instead of lunch rate. They even said BECAUSE OF THE TAX! Wth??!! Funny sherman buffet. If i could rate NEGATIVE overall i will give a million. read more

Sherman's Buffet #5 - Teriyaki chicken Mongolian chicken House fried rice Spring roll Sweet & sour sauce Salt & pepper chicken Starry Soda - Chinese Near Me - Stockton, California

The food is fresh and the prices are great. You can choose the buffet or to go. The four items to go can feed 2 people.

Their chow mein here is so good! Service was great. It was dark & felt a little cozy inside.

The quality is mediocre, and my grandma worked at another Sherman's buffet and there is the better Sherman's buffet in Waterloo. The fried shrimp is good 4/5 Kung Pao chicken is too sour and sweet 3/5 Chow Mein is very tasty 4/5 Chow Fun is tasty but very messy, they didn't separate the rice noodles, they stick together in chunks 3/5 The food taste pretty good, but ultimately it's a "Hood Chinese food", Cheap, unhealthy, and messy. But the price is unbeatable tho, very affordable! read more

Good Chinese food that is super cheap. Parents of teenage boys should be all over this place as the portion sizes are large. One definitely gets their money's worth. Quick and easy service. read more

Love it ! Definitely recommend this place good food good service.Love the fried chicken !

We decided to try this new location, and it is great. It isn't very roomy inside however, there are tables for customers to dine in. We were greeted and welcomed, the lady behind the counter was very nice, helpful, welcoming, and made sure to check in at our table to find out if we needed anything, including drink refills, awesome customer service. As expected, the food was great as it is in all Sherman's Restaurants, great cooks. This location is convenient for the residential neighbors and businesses, which is great, saves a trip to the Country Club location or Thornton location. Thank you to the helpful ladies working behind the counter and dining area, also to the awesome cooks. Great decision to open #5 in a residential/ business area. It will also be great to see Sherman's in the Bay Area. read more

With the state of our economy on rising prices, Sherman's #5 is a God-send for great Chinese Food at a reasonable price. Whether you sit down for a buffet, or have your food to go, you will definitely get your value. Their combination "to-go" plates have huge portions. Furthermore, the staff are really friendly, and eager to serve you. When you come visit this restaurant, ask to say hi to Bing, the owner of the 5 restaurant chain. He is a super friendly and wonderful person, and holds a tight ship on all of his restaurant that his customer receive the best quality food and service. Sherman's #1,#2,#3, #4, and #5.......They are all good..... read more
