Went for Father's Day and boy was it busy. Despite that, we got seated right away and the staff was still super attentive. Pepsi products and food that included sushi, seafood, dessert and classic Chinese food. Everything was great! The tables were clean with enough space to walk and eat. The only thing I wasn't a fan of way the dessert. I didn't really like anything besides the ice cream, but that's just me. The rest of the food was good especially for the price! read more

Came here for dinner and was impressed right from the start. The restaurant has a polished, contemporary feel and is clean and well maintained. Dinner was $23 per adult for AYCE, not bad considering both the variety and the quality of the food. The place was very busy when we arrived, but we were seated quickly. There was a large selection of fresh hot entrees, fried appetizers, sushi, seafood, desserts. Had two plates of sushi and sashimi that satisfied my sushi craving! I noticed the restaurant seemed a little understaffed. It felt like the same hardworking server was constantly moving throughout the dining room, clearing plates, cleaning spills, wiping tables, and helping guests. She remained friendly despite being stretched thin. Overall, this is one of the better buffet experiences I've had recently. Tasty food, good variety, reasonable pricing, and a comfortable atmosphere. I'd absolutely recommend it, especially for families or larger groups looking for something that has a little bit of everything. read more

The Tampa China Buffet is a large, all-you-can-eat Asian buffet in Tampa off Fowler Avenue by USF area. It has a wide variety of tasty Chinese food, lots of different types of sushi, and lots of different seafood options, including unlimited crab legs at dinner. Cuisine: Chinese, Fresh Sushi, Seafood (including crab legs, oysters, mussels), American, and a large dessert selection. There were 5 different kinds of shrimp and 6 different kinds of chicken that were all pretty good. Specials: Unlimited crab legs are a dinner only special. Atmosphere: Tampa China Buffet was recently renovated with a modern futuristic interior with lots of LEDs, modern gray tile floors, and modern white marble style tile on the walls that looks very nice. Service: Service staff was friendly taking drink orders and refreshing buffet foods in a timely manner. The buffet is self serve so not much service is required. Pricing has gone up and is now $17 for lunch and $23 for dinner. However, this seems to be the going rate for most buffets now and the large selection of fresh sushi alone is worth that if you're hungry. Only one third of the foods had labels so you didn't know what you were eating unless you asked someone which is especially unhelpful for the sushi. I hope management can add labels for all the foods soon. That's an easy thing to fix. There was no hibachi which was a little disappointing. There were not a lot of dessert options beyond fruit. The cheesecake was not traditional but half bread half cheese so not true traditional cheesecake and bland with no fruit topping as is typical with cheesecake. The chocolate cake had no label and turned out to be kinda a coffee flavor. The Asian plumbs had a good different flavor. If you're in the USF North Tampa area, craving Chinese, Sushi, or Seafood, and are very hungry, definitely check out Tampa China Buffet! If you're looking for a better deal with Hibachi and sushi, Asian Buffet off Bruce B Downs in Wesley Chapel area has a lunch buffet which is only $11. read more

This was my boyfriend's and my first time trying this buffet after seeing advertisements and wanting to check it out. We went for lunch, and unfortunately, the food was very mediocre and mostly cold. The only items that stood out to me were the krab rangoon, miso soup, and the deep-fried sushi roll. Overall, though, it honestly tasted like the food had been sitting out for quite some time. Would I come back? Respectfully, no. In my opinion, there are other Chinese buffets that serve hotter, better quality food. The service was okay, and the ambiance inside was just average. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. read more

It's so hard to find a good buffet around the Tampa/Brandon area. We decided to give Tampa China Buffet a try for dinner. The pricing is pretty good for their buffet they have a good amount of variety but unfortunately not my usual grabs like beef and broccoli and crab bake. But overall the food was good they had a nice selection of seafood and sushi as well. I wasn't a fan of their desserts they lacked flavor and some just tasted artificial. read more

First time visiting Tampa China Buffet with family while in town, and it definitely won't be the last! We came for Sunday dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices and vibrant ambiance -- the place was lively but still comfortable for a family meal. The food selection was impressive, especially for a buffet. There was a wide variety of dishes, including fresh sushi and sashimi, which isn't something you find often at this price point. Everything we tried was well-prepared and flavorful. I didn't even get a chance to take many photos -- we were too busy enjoying the food! This spot has officially become our Tampa family's new go-to for Asian buffet dining. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for a great value, diverse selection, and a fun dining experience. read more

Went here yesterday. Drove 30 miles and have to say I am not sure I would do it again. There were some tasty items on the buffet but for the most part alot of the items were either just warm or did not meet up to my expectations. Our waitress was very friendly and have to say the high point of our dining experience. read more

If your in the Tampa area and craving a great Chinese Buffet experience, this is the place to go. From the warm welcome to a big thank you for coming, I highly recommend this place. I was there yesterday with friends Sunday lunch. A n extensive selection of sushi and shasmi to die for. Crab legs, large shrimp and oysters on the half shell to baby octopus. A very large selection of Chinese dishes prepared perfectly. And don't forget to try their wide range of desserts. The service was spot on and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Priced just right. read more

Food: 3/5 For a buffet, the food quality was okay, but we've had better experiences elsewhere. The only items I'd specifically recommend are the frog legs and the steamed fish. Service: 4/5 Our waitress was very nice and attentive, and she even gave us some local recommendations to check out. The hostess could be a bit friendlier when seating guests. Ambiance: 3/5 The restaurant has a large seating area with decent spacing between tables. One downside was the serving tongs at the buffet--they looked dirtier than expected. Replacing them more frequently, maybe every 30 minutes, would make a big difference. read more

After the renovation, this China Buffet is ready for the new facelift with new seat, welcome, lobby, brand new buffet bar and more. It becomes very modern and clean in the same time. We were here for the lunch buffet. The buffet started at 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. The buffet bar has dim sum, sushi, sashimi, pizza, fried protein, stirs fry, steam snow crab, raw seafood, cook seafood, frog leg, veggies and more. It worth the visit for this buffet. The dinner session start at 3:30 pm to 10:00 pm. Not sure what will be the extra offer. read more

FIVE STARS! Clean, fresh choices, very kind servers, accessible with clean accessible restrooms! Good parking. My favorites were the crab legs, the GENERAL sauce, chicken, and crab legs. That said, everything there is good.! I highly recommend this restaurant. And don't forget to try their iced tea. read more

Service was great! Our server was quick to clear tables and refill our drinks. She also provided me gloves when I asked her. Food was OK. A lot of the meat options were dry. The crab legs were salty. The sashimi options were limited. Granted this is a pretty cheap buffet place so you're paying for what you get. Otherwise the place looks nicer, and more casual read more

The food is delicious for the large variety they have, I went here many times, and I love the sushi! It's always very busy inside

I haven't been here in years. It looks like they've had some upgrades. The place is very clean very welcoming. The food was delicious. Who doesn't like a buffet all you can eat. our waiter was attentive with me and my family. read more

Clean environment. The servers were very attentive. The select of food was diverse with many items not seen at other Chinese buffets ie. crab legs (cold) oysters, a variety of Chinese dishes including General Tao, honey chicken, etc. Prices are very reasonable and we definitely will return! read more

Finally tried this place after its big renovation! It's reasonably priced ($21 for adult dinner). And you get what you pay for. The quality is just alright: the "seafood boil" crawfish was mushy and soft, but the cold crawfish on ice was of much better quality. Within the same dish you could get one good piece and one bad piece. Fruits for dessert were haphazardly cut and did not look appetizing. They had good variety especially for sushi. Servers were attentive and kind. The overall ambiance was good. It was clean and looks much nicer than before. Not sure if I'd come back, but if you want a cheap buffet, I'd swing by and give it a try. read more

I haven't been to a buffet in years and I was told that this place was renovated so I wanted to give it a try. I would say it was a better looking Chinese buffet I have been to. It looks like it was newly renovated. It is also spacious restaurant. The staff were great and a lot of food options. They did have a lot of sushi options too and sashimi. I would say some of the rice tasted a little older. But the sashimi itself and a few sushi rolls was good. If you're in the looks for a Chinese and sushi buffet. This is a good spot to stop at. read more

Tremendous variety. Good quality for a reasonable price. They had six different kinds of dumplings, which are my favorite! They kept the crab legs full so that was cool. Everything was pretty hot and fresh. Except the desserts lol they were cool! read more

Food poison buffet, been closed several times and as of June 2026, health department shut them down again. Renovations be damned, still down right DISGUSTING read more

This resturant was shut down and completly remodeled. Everything is new. All of the furniture, signage, walls, floors, serving areas. If you are visiting Busch Gardens and want to get super full to capacity, Tampa China Buffet is the place to gorge yourself on the best array of Sushi, mixed cold seafood salads, seaweed salad, and all manner of hot and cold foods, you will be full and tired before you can eat your way through the various stations of high quality offerings. I suggest that you walk the entire food serving area before you start filling your plate. Planning is required or you will run out of capacity before your eyes run out of desire for more. TCB is worth a drive, even from Orlando or Clearwater Beach or Saint Petersburg. You will not find a better example of Chinese Buffet style cusine in Florida or perhaps even in Shanghai. The Tampa China Buffet is more satisfying than the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor city one quarter of the price and easier to park if you visit Tampa Bay and do not visit the TCB you did it wrong. read more

Talk about not judging a book by its cover. It's off of Fowler and the dingy exterior is a front. Inside they are renovated with lots of tile and brightness. Lots of variety for anyone in your group, fresh seafood, sushi, all the way to chicken nuggets for kids. It's still a buffet so always wash your hands and get a new plate everytime you go up for another visit. There's lots of desserts that are yummy to end the meal. Our server was so helpful and they bust their asses from table to table especially with all the very needy people that are there. read more

Food was decent for the pricing, seems like that have gone through a renovation as the spacing was very nice and modern.

Loved the variety, quality and flavor of the food. We were well satisfied and it was worth every penny!

I went to this restaurant before it was remodeled, and it was really bad. There was mold, roof tile ceiling tiles, and gunked up tongs with food caked on it multiple types of food. This time this restaurant is the best tasting Chinese food I have ever had. they have amazing sushi and I am I couldn't be more impressed with the remodel. It's beautiful. I would definitely recommend going here for Chinese food. read more

The place is cute and looks nice. We were greeted well at the entrance and taken to our table, but the service quickly went downhill. Our waiter was rushed and rude--no greeting, just asked for our drink order. When clearing plates and dropping off the check, the only thing said was "Sign please." The restaurant was very overcrowded, with people constantly rushing around and bumping into us, which made the experience uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. Most of it tasted like it had been sitting out too long. Even the pre-packaged ice cream didn't taste right. The sweet tea was especially bad and had an unpleasant aftertaste. Some of the worst items were the fried rice, ribs, and the white noodles with egg and vegetables. The fried chicken, butterfly fried shrimp, and bourbon chicken were just okay. The salt and pepper chicken was very oily, and the teriyaki chicken was fine until I got a really nasty piece that ruined it for me. They charge an extra $10 if you leave an unreasonable amount of food on your plate, which is understandable, but it still added to the overall frustration. It was just me and my fiancé, about $20 per person. With iced tea and a Corona, the total came to around $51. We left a $3 tip due to the poor service. Overall, nice-looking place, but between the crowding, service, and food quality, we wouldn't return. read more

Eight years ago some friends took me here and I did not like this place. It mostly looked like from the pictures people took years ago. It was gross and dark and gloomy and it just felt sad. I recently went there 2 days ago and THEY HAVE CHANGED!!! It is GORGEOUS IN THERE AND THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THE FOOOD WAS SOOOOOOOOO FREAKING GOOD. I never had squid before and it was a weird texture to me ( not the restaurants fault I have an issue with texture) but, it was good. The crab legs KEPT COMING AND EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. The fruit was hot, but the ice cream made me forget. They had sushi, chicken wings, ribs, THE SAMON WAS TO DIE FOR AND THE STRING BEANS OH MY GODDDD!!! I loved it 1000/10. The rice and noodles were so good. I hate that I didn't take photos of my food and the restaurant but I was so shocked and happy I just enjoyed myself. LUCKILY THEY HAVE A TIKTOK AND YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF. I cannot wait to go back. Oh I almost forgoTTHE BACON SHRIMP get the bacon shrimp. The atmosphere here has changed and I love it. I'm going to come back next time and I want to bring a group and tip big. They deserve it. I'm glad they did not shut down, but took the time to make improvements. Their TikTok is @chinabuffet_tampa. I'm gonna screen shot a picture of the name and put it below. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ read more
