Wild Chinese Buffet did NOT disappoint! The service is amazing, and the couple running the place are always so nice when we come in! I loaded my container up with spicy Szechuan chicken, garlic chicken, Mongolian beef, and white rice. Everything was fresh, hot, and seriously flavorful. You can tell the food isn't just sitting there, it actually tastes like it was just made. It helps when you actually see the cooks changing out the food regularly! And let's talk about portions... they PACK those containers to the point they barely close definitely got my money's worth and then some. For the price, if you're anywhere near this spot, this is the move. Big Back verified I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

For a small buffet, it's a great deal. Heavy on chicken dishes and fried offerings. The one soup was egg drop, and it wasn't too salty. People in my family also liked the stir-fried beef with wide rice noodles, kung pao chicken, and whole pieces of fried chicken. The one desert was sesame balls. There were also tempura-style veggies and fries. No fresh vegetables or fruit, but they had stir-fried broccoli. There were also egg rolls and crab rangoon. Simple tables and chairs, 2 bathrooms (with disposable seat covers available), and disposable plates, forks, cups, etc. Floor was just a little sticky. You just walk right in, grab a plate, and start loading up. Once you sit down, someone will bring drinks. While there, many people came in for the to-go options. When we went to pay our bill, they also offered a $4.95 kids price. What? Not sure how they survive! Would definitely come back if I were a local. read more

Wild Chinese Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Lodi, California

We ordered trays for a party and the food was delicious as always! Many of our friends and family asked where we got the food! We can't wait for our next party, definitely can't beat the price for a party!! read more

Went here for lunch with coworkers--my first time trying this place. The food selection is similar to other Chinese buffets in town, with staples like chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, General chicken, egg drop soup, and more. The food tasted good compared to other buffets and was served hot, which is always a plus. The only downside was the use of paper plates and plastic cups. It made the dining experience feel a bit cheap especially for a sit-down buffet. I also wasn't a fan of how flimsy the plates felt with hot food. Other than that, it's not a bad option if you're looking for a quick and affordable buffet. read more

Talk about the best deal in town. I was driving by going to an event caught this place of the corner of my eye and said well might as well take a look. This is definitely one of those local family own businesses that anybody in the community should support. The food was good and everybody was kind. It was also very clean and there was a line which gave me more confidence that this place is awesome. I would highly recommend to anybody in the area or passing through read more

Wild Chinese Buffet - 3 item to go - Buffets Near Me - Lodi, California

Wednesday, August 6th, 2025 Taking into account the current economic state of the nation, if you have modest expectations, a modest budget and a BIG appetite, yes, this restaurant is for you. Sure, other reviews on this thread include comments in the scope of entrees available, and the usage of styrofoam plates and plastic knives at this venue, BUT THE PRICE OF AN ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET MEAL HERE IS ONLY $10.50... Nowadays, $10.50 will barely cover the cost a a Happy Meal at you know where ... So yes, come to this restaurant, enjoy the service and food, and forget about the rising impact of inflation during the course of your meal ... read more

Wild Chinese Buffet - Entree Avenue - Buffets Near Me - Lodi, California

After reading the glowing reviews I was really looking forward to our first experience here. Sadly, our visit did not live up to our expectations. Items on the buffet table tended to be either bland or similar proteins with the same batter. Both the garlic and salt and pepper chicken had an off flavor. That being said, we really enjoyed the beef dish, which was one of the best Chinese items we've ever tasted. When we mentioned the discounted rate for seniors that was listed on their Yelp page the cashier didn't ask to see it, he just seemed annoyed and pointed at the price list. 2.5 stars but round it up to 3 for the beef dish. read more

Nice little place Food was fresh and good A great value for dine in Cantonese style cuisine The broccoli in the broccoli beef entree was cooked tender and they use boneless thighs for the garlic chicken. Most Asians like the dark meat. read more

Why does this place get such high reviews? Totally tasteless and gross. I would not recommend if you are looking for good Chinese food. I would rather get some from the place next to Food 4 Less in Stockton. It's much better and has some tasty food. read more

Wild Chinese Buffet - This is #5 - Buffets Near Me - Lodi, California

I'm definitely not wild about this buffet. Now, I will say it's priced well...$9 for lunch, $10 for dinner. But it's far from a perfect buffet. It's a take-out setup, about 16 items, 14 of which are fried items. The exceptions: beef & broccoli and chicken & broccoli. It's literally the most unhealthy of foods, ever -- that's Anti-Chinese is what I say. For what it is, it's okay. Nice and efficient service. Well priced. It's a fix, but just not a good one. read more

Quick to serve. Good fresh food. Food is flavorful. Great price. Clean seating area. I will definitely keep going there. Better option to Panda Express. read more

3.5 Stars Takeout/buffet Chinese spot in a Lodi plaza -- decent if you are looking locally for large portions of the usual chow mein, orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, beef broccoli etc fare at a cheap price. I usually get takeout here for home, but for a similar price, they also have the buffet to dine in and sit casually. Pretty clean. I really like their beef broccoli, but it can be hit/miss how much meat you get depending on what is in their generous scoop. The chow mein is actually pretty good in terms of flavor--I usually have to take out some of the cabbage though because they go pretty heavy handed in their stir fry. Most of the other options are fried and not bad but if I just want to get something to remind me of home in the Bay, I just go double beef broccoli. read more

Just a reminder.....still very good and friendly as well as clean. Still going there going there for lunch

Not your traditional Chinese buffet but just as good if not better. Seating is pretty basic. But again, they probably have some of the best customer service we have had in a long time. As my daughter and I finished getting our food, one of the workers got our drink orders. We had three drinks so I offered to help him but he insisted that he take them for us. The prices are decent. Dine in is buffet style only. So if you're not that hungry just get take out. Drinks are refillable. The only dessert we saw was the sesame seed red bean balls. It would have been good to have at least another option or maybe some fortune cookies. The next time we're in Lodi we will definitely be back. read more

The food was actually not bad at all, it's a pretty decent clean restaurant with pretty competitive prices.. only downside is that they don't have a ton of options and they use plastic forks/ plates but that's to be expected to keep costs where they're at. I would stop by again if i'm in the area. read more

Thanks Yelp, was in the area and wanted fried cream cheese wontons. Lunch buffet for $8.99 and great reviews?! Figured even if I only eat the wontons it's worth it so the we gave it a try. Place is clean, owners have it down, looks like the husband cooks and the wife runs the register, to-go orders and busing. Food is on point for flavor, limited menu but all your classic items for an American Greasy spoon are there. This is cheap tasty bites done well. You get a LOT if you order to-go. Dine in is all you can eat but you really can't eat more than a plate. As other reviews have indicated, there's only a couple of beef dishes, but the beef is very tender. The broccoli beef was very good with tender pieces of beef and perfectly cooked broccoli. I'm all about the rice and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the fried rice was very tasty, looked and tasted how fried rice used to be with lots of bits of barbecue pork and veggies, unlike the spattering of scrambled eggs and a few pieces of frozen veggies that you get today. And amazingly, they use good quality rice not the cheap stuff that has the texture of dried grains. The Hubbs actually cleaned his plate which rarely happens. One of the chicken dishes had hints of ginger which was fun and the salt & pepper chicken tasted like 5 spice. Most of the dishes were fried options. This would be a great place for party platters to go. Nothing fancy down to their styrofoam plates and cups but you won't leave hungry. read more

Surprisingly great food for a very fair price. Only gave 4 stars for the plastic cutlery and foam plates. For less than $11 for the dinner buffet you can't beat it. read more

The place is a quaint, little unassuming mom & pops place but the food is the best in town for the price. The egg flower soup and tempura veggies are delicious. The food was very fresh. The chow main was a little bland and the noodles were a bit overcooked. The shrimp was seasoned well and tasty. The pork fried rice was good and had a nice charred flavor, but I picked all the pork out because I'm Pescatarian. There was also no fish on the buffet, but they had items with both chicken, beef and fried chicken. Service was no frills but friendly, and the place is clean, including the bathroom. The quality cannot be beat for the price $8.99 Lunch & $9.99 Dinner. read more

If you need a buffet, this fits the bill. Food is usually pretty good. People working there are always nice, and the facility is clean.

Great garlic chicken and beef chow fun! The beef is tender and the pieces are plentiful and a good size too. The garlic chicken os boneless but the taste of the batter is delicious. Great prices! Nice servers. Mediocre ambiance but many take it "to go" if they don't like it. read more

I'm convinced that everyone who wrote a good review about this place got paid to Do it! This place is terrible, horrible! I ordered from Door dash and the food was soggy, the meat was undercooked and I had a hair in my food. The egg roll taste like the veggies has been boiled and sitting in the water for weeks and the rice had pork in it when I asked for chicken fried rice! On top of all that the food stinks and my stomach started hurting immediately after I took a bite and swallowed! I have never had a worse food experience. Absolutely horrific ! Do not eat here! read more

This is a great place to get good flavored Chinese food for a great price. My favorite is the salt and pepper chicken and spicy chicken just to name a few. They also have shrimp and egg flower soup. The customer service is great and the drinks are big with no refill charge like other places. Yes it's not fancy but who cares if the food is good. read more

The food was not edible. Nice people working but I do not recommend this place unless you are on a tight budget. Dinner buffet 10.95. The food on the buffet line was old, cold, hard and the sauces fried chicken was very soggy. I ended up trying almost all items on buffet line to find something I did enjoy. There was not one item that tasted right. The flavors were just off. I ended up going to Taco Bell after. The lobby was clean and bathroom was clean. read more

A well oiled and efficient community staple, filled with loyal customers and great value. Friendly owners who serve you personally. They have both a buffet for in restaurant dining and take out options. The ambiance is that of a Chinese eatery; no frills, completely practical, but very clean and comfortable. read more

Good and clean place to eat. Very affordable If you're looking for a budget-friendly spot, this place is a hidden gem. For just $10, you get all you can eat read more

This place is fantastic , in this day and age of inflation and rising prices , WCB has kept the lunch and dinner buffet prices the same since opening, it is extremely fairly priced , where else can you get AYCE dinner for $9.99? The service is always fast and a lot of people come in to get to-go orders. I really like the chowmein and spicy chicken , but my favorite item being offered has to be the cream cheese rangoon , they are delightful, crispy on the outside, cream cheese goodness on the inside, and everything is always fresh, hot and tasty , I have been here a dozen times and each time I have had no issues, it's a fantastic price point and a good little selection of food, fill your tummy without breaking the bank, this place is awesome. read more

I haven't been here for at least a couple of years and I noticed new people running the place and could probably be new owners. The food is pretty standard for an AYCE low budget Chinese buffet. The star of the show is the beef chow fun and the deep fried garlic chicken fingers. There's also deep fried boneless chicken thighs with the same batter, but it's too much for me to eat because it's greasy. There are quite a few deep fried dishes, so it will satisfy your fried food cravings for a while. The cost was 9.50 without tax and soda daily. I believe they switch over to dinner offerings around 3:30 pm, so the price goes up by a dollar to 10.50. They put out salt and pepper shrimp and well worth the dollar extra. The man and woman that runs the register and serve food are really nice, so a 5 star rating is appropriate. There's no dessert to speak of other than fried sesame balls, but I don't mind because my meal was less than 10 dollars, cheaper than ordering a hamburger with fries nowadays. read more

Bang for your buck buffet over here. This place is underrated to say the least. If you're looking for your basic Chinese food fix, this place has it. And the price for the to go and buffet are almost a steal! Where else can you find something less than $10 per person and will satisfy your cravings. They have a solid selection of Chinese entrees that will surely satisfy your appetite. The owner and servers are really very nice and welcoming. Come check this place out! read more

Got this ordered from doordash and everything we got was delicious. Good quality and great price.

Decent everything (: Decent food, decent price, decent spot. I loved there chow mein!!!! They were super busy when we went in for take out, only one worker in the front, may stress he/she out but quick worker was very attentive, with fast customer service skills, being under pressure - I think he did very well. Thank you, we will be back ! FYI : I heard this small restaurant had tough time during the pandemic, so I had to stop by to support this business. I am glad they are still open, wishing them nothing but great success. read more

Amazing value and friendly service! Discovered this place while passing through Lodi and could not even believe that the price was supposedly $8.99 for a lunch buffet. It turned out to be true and my friends and I treated ourselves to an extremely well priced tasty lunch! read more

Stopped by this spot on the way back from the bay area. This place is a hidden GEM! we got 2 of the 4 item combos during dinner time and it was $21 out the door! Aside from the pricing , the food itself was delicious and the portions were generous. Won't find a deal like this anywhere else! Wil definitely be back again! It's also an AYCE buffet if you choose to dine in. Staff was also friendly and the place was somewhat busy @6pm. read more

If you've ever been to the Galt Flea market, this place is very similar. The noodles are almost on point to each other. They serve Shanghai style noodles compared to regular chowmein which is a bit thinner. I find sauces hold better onto Shanghai noodles and allow them to be flavorful without getting soggy. While I enjoy their fried chicken, share with your family because they give large portions. Customer service is quick and friendly and the restaurant vibe is pretty ok. It's a bit open which is not my favorite but the food is tasty and affordable so I can't complain. read more

Good was very very delicious and flavorful. A 4 item plate was $8.99!!! And had Wor wonton soup. Chow mein , orange chicken, tempura broccoli and zucchini was all great. Service fast and friendly. No pics were taken, however I will definitely go back again. Tried several places in Lodi this on definitely the best read more

Came here for buffet with 5 people. It was pretty cheap, $8.99 for dinner buffet. The inside is very spacious. The food wasnt very good, but it was cheap, so... The chowmein made my stomach hurt. I will not be coming back.. read more

Wild Chinese Buffet - Blurred for privacy - Buffets Near Me - Lodi, California

Wild Buffet is a small 'combination' restaurant. They have one steam table with their offerings for the day. You can order 2, 3 and 4 item plates or you can eat buffet style and try a bit of everything on offer. If you order, they will scoop and package your meal. If you're eating buffet, just grab a plate and begin helping yourself. When your plate is loaded, find a table and enjoy your food. A server came by with napkins and asked if we wanted drinks. A large Styrofoam cup is $1.69 and refillable. You pay when you're done. If you pay by credit card, there is no opportunity to add a tip so be sure to bring a few dollars in cash to cover that. The people who run the restaurant are very friendly and nice. It's obvious that they recognize their regulars and enjoy conversing with them. The food is decent. Certainly not gourmet but very reasonable for the price point. We're usually in Lodi one weekend a year and we can see returning to eat here again next year. read more

Love it! Its my place to go ! Food is amazing and great customer service! I really recomment it ! read more

I'm back and glad I came back!! I had a 2 week roadtrip up north, so I stopped by for lunch on the way there and dinner on the way back. Look, this isn't Chinese gourmet cuisine, it's solid budget friendly Chinese food and it's yummy. You pay for what you get and you get a solid product here. Nice small business and friendly staff. Their rice has barbecued pork in it and it's fantastic. The rest is gonna be a variety of chicken and pork in various styles as usual. A seafood option, veggies and great cream cheese wontons!! I got all the pictures this time!! Give this wild place a try!! read more

The food is fresh. Love the chow fun, garlic chicken, salt and pepper chicken, and etc. You get a lot of food for the price versus Panda Express who sometimes measures. Matters who you get at Panda. Anyways this place is clean. Lots of lighting. Not your fancy place with decor. Just clean walls, tables, and chairs. Fancy places you pay for their decor and $$ for food. Small plate too. Anyways, Service always good. Restrooms are clean. With south 99 off-ramp to Turner Road is currently closed, you need to take the highway 12 exit to Lodi and turn left. If you turn right, you are heading to Victor/Lockeford. Ono you know. read more
