China Buffet

This should be higher than 2.5 stars. I had a good meal this evening and enjoyed it. It's a Chinese buffet and like others, they have steam tables of fried and grilled meats, noodles, rice, soups and such. The sushi was good enough. It's clean, it's well stocked, it's not fancy, it serves food to people who want large quantities. I didn't go nuts but I did eat my fill and had a pleasant time.My waitress ensured dirty dishes were removed and my drink was refilled. Could it have been better? Not at this price.One small tip - set out some disposable gloves. I planned ahead and brought my own but this would help the community a little by limiting the contact with shared utensils. They did have a big jug of hand sanitizer at the checkout counter that worked fine.[Review 1134 of 2024 - 3629 in North Carolina - 22158 overall]

Food is gross lacks flavor obviously re heated from who knows how many days before nothing i tried was worth coming back for dont waste your time/money

We are regular customers at Salisbury's China Buffet. We believe in being good patrons at restaurants, so that we receive - most of the time- good service. After reading a few other reviews - some from 10 years ago, there are some updates needed.1. There was some remodeling, very nice, but carpet could use replacing again. There are booths and tables and a separate area for large groups.2. Since Covid, patronage had fallen off, but it is picking back up.3. There are the 'best' times to arrive to eat hot, fresh food and not so good times to arrive. I totally agree with one review - arriving late for lunch or supper group is not a good idea - food is picked over, may be cold or dried out. I didn't like seeing fresh food mixed in with the old - not a good idea.4. Service has always been great - we know most of the waitresses/hostesses - and we are always greeted and thanked. When we ask for fresh food, it is provided. Their tips have always been earned.5. It is always wise to err on the safe side when eating food from buffets. It needs to be fresh if you have a sensitive stomach. (Avoid picking up germs -Wash your hands and those of your children after handling the serving utensils, and before you eat, because you will most likely be using your fingers to eat some of your food selections.)6. I would like to see coupons to help with meals without having to buy a drink -it pretty much negates your savings. We will get a pot of tea occasionally, and the discount is applied.7. Now to the cook staff. What happened? Why are so many of my favorites now sooo spicy, that I can't eat them? I don't believe its Asian spicy -like General Tso chicken. We loved the cheesy crab dish, but now it's so over spiced that we can't eat it. Please make some without the red pepper, etc.8. They still make dishes to order along with the sushi bar. 9. We tried their plum wine on a special occasion - it was delicious. Your pot of tea is hot and flavorful.10. We tried the crawfish - tasty but a messy treat.11. Crab is not worth bothering with.12. I can't remember ever having undercooked food.13. You get more food - and a greater variety - for your money than at any other sit-down restaurant in Salisbury - as long as you aren't looking for steak or lobster! If you go and always eat just the same 3 or 4 dishes, then you don't know what you're missing.So, these are the highlights for the dishes we eat almost every time!The fried frog legs are the best I have ever eaten, and I try to get everyone I know, to try them! I ask for a whole platter sometimes. We enjoy the cheesy baked salmon; mussels in black bean sauce; fresh coconut shrimp, crab-filled biscuits; Mei Fun - thin rice noodles, with scrambled eggs and diced vegetables; fried calamari; beef with broccoli; fried and steamed dumplings; the curry chicken another one of my favorites; fresh fruit at full salad bar; green beans; and several different shrimp dishes that are always on our plates. There's a separate white rice maker that keeps the rice clean and perfectly cooked.They are closed on Tuesdays.Well, that's the "must know" for having a great time at China Buffet! Enjoy!

Food is right down awful. Meat is dry, fruits are rotten, some of then food was too salty like the lo mien, taste just like sou sauce was poured on it. Food was cold, seems like it was sitting. Even the kids complained about the French fries being dried. Service is only good grace of this place. Stay away, save your money for another place.

I wish Yelp had an option for no stars. Please don't waste your money. The buffet is over priced and the food is not worth it. They have very little options for a buffet and the chicken is not cooked. I tried both the sesame chicken and the chicken with broccoli and both were pink on the inside. It was terrible.

Disgusting, smelly, gross, stinks of rotten garbage!!Cheap fried crap under heat lamps!! BathroomWas filthy.

Its nice, Inside is nice but food is cold if your taking out. They run out quickly and fast if you want sugary donuts thats cold come here. The workers are nice. And they ask if you want sauce if your taking out.

First of all let's mention how incredible the service was! Our waitress was amazing! We would take a sip of our drinks and she would refill it right away! Take our plates instantly. She was so polite and professional. There is a lot of choices and variety of food. Fried or not. Reasonable variety of sushis as well freshly made by the cook behind the counter. Choice of salads and deserts as well quite impressive. You honestly can't try everything there's too much choices. The music and the ambiance was giving a a calm and comfy vibe to the place! Really lovely! Price is insanely cheap as well! (Places like this would be 35$ + taxes per person in Canada where im from)

If you want cold, greasy Chinese food this is the place to go. Don't think they even bother to turn on the steam tables. Bit into an egg roll and it was bright red inside. No idea what the filling was. The only thing that was good was my hot tea...which was actually hot!

The restaurant itself is nice, on the inside it has outstanding designs and looks great. The food isn't the worst, it was actually good. From looking at the reviews I thought it was going to be a trashy place but personally I had a great experience, staff was nice and efficient. I will definitely be going back.
