Shang Hai Buffet

This was a nice buffet. Clean with friendly staff. Decent selection of food options, with all the items you expect from a Chinese buffet aimed at Americans. I'm giving it 3 stars because the food was good, not great. Nothing we sampled stood out as delicious. We left full but still wanting/missing something. We will be back, and hopefully can raise the rating.

Limited English speaking personnel. Buffet was pretty anemic. Options on buffet, very limited and what was available was not good. Hot Tea was good. Price, well a little more than what it should be for what they offer. Place seemed grimy and run down.

"I had a disappointing experience at Shanghai buffet. The food quality was poor, with dishes looking and tasting old. The selection was limited, making it one of the worst places I've ever been to."

Chinese buffet for cheap! Will definitely go again on my cheat day! They had a nice selection of seafood (2-4 kinds of shrimp, fried scallops, fried crab, variety of fish) which was a nice surprise. Depending on the time of day, the food gets replaced pretty quickly.Clean, normal Chinese restaurant friendly and nostalgic decor. For the price and everything else, I'd give it 5*.

Service and Quality of Food is going downhill.Never been outstanding but at least consistent till recent months.Went a couple of months ago and could not even get seated because I was interrupting the Host's Socializing with a Friend.I have noticed over the months that the crowds have been getting smaller and smaller. The large lunch crowds contributed to a rapid turnover on the steam tables which made for fresher food that was not overcooked.Went last week and the lunch crowd was about 1/2 of what it used to be. May be because the K-Mart anchor closed or because service and quality had dropped off.I was seated promptly so no issue there but just about everything on the buffet line was overcooked and dry. The chicken was like rubber in both taste and texture. The Seafood Casserole was good but it looked like I was either the first of second person to have a serving so it must have been just put out.Maybe with time, it will get better. One thing that could help although it is labor intensive is to prepare smaller quantities of each food such that the buffet line is refilled more often hence the food is fresher.

There was Maybe like a dozen choices of food at the buffet. Not that much options for a buffet. Not worth the money in our opinion.

Close!!! This place is the most disgusting Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten at! Steak and peppers was so tough I couldn't chew it. Out of steamed rice, egg rolls were greasy and tough due to sitting too long, no ginger, wonton soup had no wontons! Even the sugar doughnuts were hard as hockey pucks!! The buffet was dirty and so were the floors! I can't believe we didn't walk out upon entering...but we didn't want to be impolite. I just hope and pray I don't get food poisoning! WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!

I have tried to give this place a chance but honestly the food is just not worth it, the people working the counter act like it's a bother to wait on you, so I'm done with this place.

Staff was super friendly. Server kept drinks refilled and got any dirty/finished plates out of the way fairly quickly. Food was alright and there was a decent selection. Environment felt safe and ambiance was okay.

Don't eat here. Food was okay but after this , I lost my appetite and I couldn't believe it
