I can always count on China Buffet to feed my family after a long day of work when I don’t want to cook. Customer service is great and it matches the yummy food! Will always be back- every 2 weeks 🤪 one of my fave dishes is the jalapeño chicken! Gotta try it!

My second visit. It has improved since the 1st time I ate there. The furniture has been updated. It wasn't my idea to eat here, I'm not thrilled with the OG buffets. It was cleaner,furniture was repaired. Food was ok...mussels were inedible. But the fried foods were better. Will I eat here again, No , It still doesn't fit my standards but someone I care for wanted to treat me to a lunch there and I couldn't decline the invite.

The sign may be in need of repair but don't let that deter you. The place is very clean with great decor and seating. Service is friendly, efficient and attentive. The buffet is very clean with a sushi bar, soups, salad, verious meat and seafood dishes and desserts including an ice cream station. Food is hot and good and you will leave with a full stomach.

This is a typical china buffet. They have very good sushi. The egg drop soup is excellent. The\nFood is not always hot though , but if you get there on a good day , the food is really good. They need to replace the light bulbs in the two huge pictures in the back of the restaurant. When they work they are beautiful. I have been coming here for many years.And they are almost always clean. Except for the bathrooms , they are very , very nasty.

Now mind you this is the buffet we went for the buffet All the server did was bring three drinks. Never even bothered about refills then got an attitude because I didn't tip her started running her mouth. I got no problem tipping a server when they do something to get tipped.

Not a bad buffet. Pretty standard offering. Nice to see it is kept clean. The food could have been hotter in temperature. Service was better than average.

Food was very good and the place is clean. The sushi bar is located away from the main bars and was packed with tasty eats and was manned with its own chef. Definitely value for what you get. The seafood was really good.

Food was delicious, hot and fresh! Service was good and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a Chinese Buffet 😂 we drove 10 minutes out of our way to eat here on the way back from vacation and it was definitely worth it!! ✨

This place gets pretty packed on the weekends because they have so much food selections and more soups to pick from. Definitely one of my favorite Chinese buffet. You won’t be disappointed.😋. So yeah, all good. Can’t wait to rush back.

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.
