    My husband and I visited Crazy Buffet (aka Panda Buffet) in Galesburg, Illinois on a Sunday night,…read morearound 7 pm, in late Sept, 2024. The restaurant was scheduled to close at 9 pm; the rest of the neighborhood was already quite sleepy. All of the food that both my husband and I ate was quite tasty, including Asian buffet favorites such as Pepper Chicken; Mongolian beef; crab Rangoon; California sushi; and far more. They also offered some unique and tasty items, such as fried zucchini slices. They also had tubs of creamy and yummy ice cream for dessert. We rate the quality of the food that we ate as 4.5/5.0. However, by 7 pm, the restaurant was already winding down and many of the food trays were already near empty and weren't being replenished so there were many food offerings that we didn't get the chance to try. Our rating for variety is thus only 2/5. Service was okay (3/5). The waitress brought us our requested waters, and checked in once to see if everything was okay. The overall ambiance was of a typical Chinese buffet restaurant, and was maintained well. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. However, staff started to wind down the day at 8 pm, including mopping the floors of the main buffet area, the check-out counter, and restrooms while we were still eating and needing to walk in those areas! It was an hour to closing time! Finally, the restaurant was a good value for all-you-can-eat for $12.99/person at dinner, before tax and tip. We would return but probably earlier in the day to have full access to the variety of food choices and to ensure that we didn't interfere with the cleaning at closing.

    I've been to this buffet a few times over the years, I live over an hour away but my family and I…read moremake the travel once in a while. We decided to come by today after we traveled to Galesburg, but unfortunately a disability I have kicked in upon arrival and I got sick. I didn't eat a single bite of food at the restaurant, I got a soda while the rest of my family got full meals. Well, my dad called the waitress over near the end of everyone else eating to say that I hadn't eaten a single bite; the waitress replied very rudely telling us we were at fault for not telling them I wasn't going to eat before we checked in to the restaurant. Legitimately, I got to the table with my family, didn't sit down, and immediately went to the bathroom and got sick. When she told us we would get charged for my non-meal, my dad responded by saying we'd pay it and we didn't want to argue. She continued multiple times telling us to basically kick rocks. After around ten minutes of my family finishing their meals and deciding the food wasn't worth the treatment, another waitress comes by and takes my "meal" off the ticket, saying something along the lines of "We didn't want to, but management said to not charge you" I didn't have any food, but besides this experience with the staff my family members said the food wasn't nearly as good as it has been years prior. My dad and my partner are usually ones to get multiple plates, but they both only got one and didn't even finish what they got. My dad said there's no way he'd drive as long as we did to have this again, when in the past we would make the trip SPECIFICALLY for this buffet. Nothing else, just for this place. This was a really disappointing experience, and it very much gave "money hungry" vibes. I'd get charging me if I'd eaten ANYTHING. I didn't have a single bite. I hope this was a one-off experience and the staff doesn't act this way with other, worse off customers.

    These days it seems that most Chinese restaurants are buffets, but not Overseas. It is mainly a…read moretake out place, but there is limited seating inside. The food is terrific and the portion sizes are very reasonable compared to the cost. Two people can eat here with an appetizer for under $20.00. My personal favorite on the menu is their Hunan Beef Combination plate that comes with the entree, pork fried rice, and an eggroll. They take cash and checks only, so don't bother trying to pay with a debit/credit card here.

    Great Portions & Solid Main Dishes, But the Vibe and Sides Need Work…read more Overseas Chinese Restaurant is a bit of a mixed bag. The ambiance is stuck in the past and desperately needs some major updates--honestly, it always seems a little dirty inside, and the service is pretty mediocre. That said, the food keeps me coming back for a few specific highlights: Chicken w. Mixed Vegetables: This is my all-time go-to. They do not skimp here; you get a great amount of both chicken and fresh veggies. Mixed Vegetables w. Garlic Sauce: I love this sauce so much I usually buy a quart of it to take home. Egg Rolls (4/5): Flavor-wise, these are absolutely delicious! The only downside is the size--they really need to be twice the size like they used to be. Sweet & Sour Chicken: The chicken itself can be hit-or-miss and is occasionally chewy, but it's still great if you drown it in their delicious sweet and sour sauce. Skip the Roast Pork Fried Rice: It is incredibly bland. You're much better off just going with the healthier option of White Rice. Come for the portions on the main dishes and the flavor of the egg rolls, but temper your expectations for the atmosphere and the sides.
