This is part of the Mongolian buffet! You pick out the Rob protein and raw vegetables and they stir fried up for you!
Frog Legs.
Our chef today :D
Do it yourself ambrosia! This was the marshmallow and coconut base to which you could add any of the canned fruits! I did not partake...
This is the vegetable side of the Mongolian barbecue buffet!
Mongolian barbecue is part of the buffet! Fun fact... Mongolian barbecue is neither mongolian nor actual barbecue! Discuss!
If you're a fan of crab Rangoon they got that too... Plenty of cream cheese!
Fresh ingredients!
You can find the donuts next to the egg rolls... so good! Hot and sugary!!!!

Nothing Fantastic....Average Chinese Buffet. Shrimp have No Flavor, Food is not restocked in a timely manner. Quality is somewhat lacking in the prep of dishes, very run of the mill Chinese with lots of Ohio thrown in. But the prices are great, and on Fridays they add Lemon Dill Salmon to the menu and it is great, and on Saturdays they add Crab Legs, and price of buffet remains the same so kudos to them for Effort. It is definitely worth the money, and choices are there, just don't expect an Great Chinese Buffet when this one is very average for the most part.

Cheng's is an Asian buffet. It's just not any good. The food looks like the same thing. It's impossible to tell some things apart. There's also not many healthy options. I went for the buffet. It's about $8 for lunch. This was cheap and there was a reason. It's not good. There's stuff that shouldn't be there. I'm sure you know the kind of stuff I'm talking about. This is a Chinese buffet with mashed potatoes and pizza. It has few good vegetarian options. There's no kind of tofu. It's another bad experience at a Chinese buffet. It has poor selection in spite of having many items. The tables are nasty and sticky.

I haven't been to a Chinese buffet since before the pandemic. We decided to go here after a day of shopping. Lunch special was 8.99 and it was worth every penny! They had all of my favorites that I've been missing and craving. General tsos, black pepper chicken, dumplings, lo mein, spring rolls, etc. all the usual American standard Chinese dishes! I did not eat the Mongolian food but my mom did and said it was delicious! We will be returning for sure!

Buffets are a strange beast. I feel like it's not just the buffet that's at fault... It's also me. I'm just bad at curating a plate of food.Every time I'm at a buffet I end up with The most random assemblage of delicacies... loitering under a heat lamp. The breakfast club of foods that would never normally ever socialize on any single plate together but found themselves in the company of me in the library at Changs buffet. Today my plate was filled with one stuffed mushroom, a hard-boiled egg, a few pieces of canned pineapple and a hot sugar doughnut, a piece of fish, and bacon covered crab sticks. I spent most of my time at the buffet sampling one piece of anything that looked pretty good. By the time I got to the table I was already full.I wish that I had just done the Mongolian barbecue as it seem to be maybe the best choice... next time...Please enjoy the photos

My second time here. Always very good!! CRAB LEGS!!! Overall, one of the largest selections on a Chinese buffet I've seen since moving to the Columbus area. I did ad the first picture for this place on here to give you an idea of how nice it really is on the inside. Hope it helps. If you're ever in the Newark area... give it a shot... you won't be disappointed.

Many tasty options on the buffet but the highlight here is the Mongolian bbq option to pick your ingredients and have them make it right in front of you. Don't forget to tip!

We arrived at 7:30pm and half of the buffet was empty and food remaining in the buffet was over cooked by the heated pans. When I asked if they would bring out more food they said they were out. They did not have hot & sour or wonton no soup, general TSO, or dumplings, just look at the pictures below. We will never go back.

Cheng's is a great Chinese buffet. Their coconut shrimp is my favorite. Staffed by super sweet people, and the ambiance is very nice and friendly.

I used to go here pre-COVID pandemic because its so close to my house. The food isnt the best but not horrible. So, when they reopened during the pandemic (after the state allowed them to of course), I thought I would give them a shot for lunch. You are no longer allowed to serve yourself. The waitress holds your plate, follows you around the buffet and dishes up what you tell her to and when you are done, she hands you the plate. Ok, kinda weird but I get it. What I saw next disgusted me to the point I will never return, and that rarely happens with me. The employees were wearing gloves. However, they would never change their gloves appropriately. After I got my food, my waitress went outside and assisted the other employees in washing windows. Several times, I watched her go from washing exterior windows with soap and water and whatever other chemical is in the bucket, to coming inside, touching napkins that the silverware was rolled in, to touching customers plates and other surfaces causing MASSIVE cross-contamination. My wife and I are front-line healthcare workers and we change our gloves after touching different things. I immediately paid my bill, left and placed a call to the Licking County Health Department.
