The food was ok. The sweet and sour chicken was fresh, along with the fruit/salad bar. My husband said the clams were decent, not fishy or tough. The fried shrimp was good but the steamed shrimp was mush. The clear soup was only lukewarm and fried noodles were stale. We had a couple of chicken dishes that had maybe had sat too long on the buffet. My husb The restaurant itself could use a good updating. 18.00 for a buffet is a little pricey considering there are other Asian buffets in Durham for 3 dollars less and so many more options. I know everything has gotten more expensive but this place used to have the best crab legs for cheap years ago and so many more options. We just about ran out of water as our server was eating at an adjacent booth while we were eating.

This is a high-quality buffet that is clean, fresh, and delicious. I visited during lunch on a weekday and was impressed by the wide variety of options. The seafood selection was excellent, featuring crawfish, baked flounder, tilapia, and steamed head-on shrimp, and more.
The hibachi and sushi bars were standouts, especially the salmon, tuna, and surimi crab. I particularly loved the pre-made stir-fry dishes; the chicken and cauliflower in coconut sauce was amazing. It was great to see standard-sized shrimp rather than the tiny ones often found at buffets. The food is well-prepared and of a caliber I haven't seen at a Chinese buffet in years. Excellent service and a job well done, China Buffet! -
After touring the Sarah Duke Garden near Duke University, my wife and I enjoyed a great lunch at this buffet! The price of $20 an adult on a Saturday was affordable, and the help staff were very attentive about clearing out our used plates. The actual buffet had many delicious dishes including jumbo peel-and-eat shrimp, crab Rangoon, steamed flounder, sauteed vegetable dishes, sushi, egg rolls, various soups, a hibachi grill, and many others. The ice cream area had at least eight different flavors, and it wasn't too difficult to scoop since the restaurant provides a long-handled scooper. I enjoyed mint chocolate chip and Oreo. My wife enjoyed the birthday cake ice cream. We enjoyed our meal here and will visit again. Although we didn't make a video review of this restaurant, please check out our travel vlogs on our YouTube channel, Adventures With Dan and Tracie!

Really like the Hibachi grill in the rear of the restaurant!! 😋 Fresh veggies, rice, noodles 🍜, eggs 🥚, your choice of protein-chicken 🐔, beef, shrimp 🍤 (sometimes), your choice of sauce as well. Cooked in front of you, hot and fresh!! Love it!! Also, there are multiple soups and several different noodle options available. Also prepared fresh!
I visit the buffet for a few items like dumplings, sweet and sour chicken and mandarin oranges 🍊. The buffet offerings are quite varied from seafood, egg drop soup, curry chicken (sometimes) to French fries, chicken wings and chicken nuggets for the kids.
Multiple seating sections accommodating a single patrons to a party of 10-20.
Wait staff are friendly and quite efficient. Used plates are removed pretty quickly and have rarely had to wait on a glass or tea pot refill.
Good food, lots of options, decent price, great service, and a pleasant environment! -
Best and cheapest buffet in Durham! Better try their roasted duck noodles and hibachi chicken. Salmon nigiri is fresh too.
