The food tasted great and was a more than generous portion for the price paid. The reason for only 4 stars out of 5 is because of the service. We were staying in a nearby hotel and placed our order online for pick up. We waited until we received notification that the order was ready before entering the restaurant. When we approached the counter and asked for our order, we were not asked our name or anything but told our order wasn't ready and to sit down. Ultimately, we pushed back and they found our order...which HAD BEEN READY when we walked in. They didn't even apologize.

CHINATOWN CAFE06-19-24We tried the all you can eat buffet. The restaurant was clean had a nice atmosphere. It was about 5:30 pm. They were filling the buffet up fuller for the dinner rush. The food was hot and fresh. They had many choices. Almost too many! I think they had something for everyone. They had Sushi, a fungus type grill where you pick your meat and veggies and they cook them for you. Many choices!The food was about average. Nothing special just good.

Okay loooooook y'all. It's a Chinese food buffet. But let me tell you something. It's pretty dang good!!My husband's side of the family has been coming here for years. Somebody graduates, Chinatown, funeral, Chinatown. It is what it is. The service here is impeccable!! Our drinks stayed full, plates were picked up quickly, napkins were plentiful, I was quite impressed!! The restaurant itself is pretty old but they keep it sparkly clean!! You could see your reflection in the floors, plus plenty of wall TVs around if you need to catch up on the news. So many different choices including: sesame chicken, broccoli beef, salt n pepper shrimp, pizza, salad, all the noooooodles, fried rice, soup(s), and a stir fry area. The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because of the sushi area. Sushi is all rice and the rolls fall apart when you try to eat it. But the buffet itself was delicious!! I also appreciate that they have specials deals during different hours. We went as a big group so got one person in free! That was cool. And if you haven't heard of the app TOO GOOD TO GO, download it right meow. Love restaurants that participate and help out with food waste. It's always a nice surprise (and probably a bit of a gamble) getting a bunch of buffet leftovers but it hits the spot!! Go check them out!! Great little buffet in Denton.

This was my first time here but I will go back next time I'm in Denton.They offer a buffet and a menu option. I ordered from the menu option and got my food to go.I ordered the combination lo mein combination, the mushrooms in garlic butter sauce, a side of sauteed green beans and onions, and I attempted to order General Tso chicken. The person taking my order was very nice and she showed me the to go menu but I had already looked up what I wanted online. There was no one else in line so I was able to immediately order my to go items. They were able to get my order together quickly, it took about 15 minutes. I was taking food to my friend who is in the hospital. When I opened the bag, my mushrooms were correct. My lo mein was correct. My green beans were correct. But unfortunately they gave me a different type of chicken than what I ordered and it was for the person who was in the hospital. That is the reason that I gave them a 4, since one of my orders was wrong. Thankfully, my friend still really enjoyed the meal, considering. I do have to say, they have a really generous portion sizes, reasonable prices, and the food was really good.

I walked in at 2 pm. on a Sunday, and there were only a few cars in the parking lot ( Red Flag ), and then to my suprise, you can clearly tell that Ownership has changed. The wonton broth was clear white and not good. Some of my dishes were ok. Maybe they should start adding their Indian cuisine to the buffet. I would've loved that more than what I got.

Daughter wanted to check out a Chinese buffet in the area so we wound up at Chinatown Cafe. The service was friendly, tables clean, plates cleared regularly. The different offerings were refreshed regularly as well. The steamed dumplings seemed to dry out and harden on the edges though I'm not sure how that can be overcome in a buffet setting. The steamed rice looked like it had been in the cooker for a while but it was ok after I piled the green beans and mushroom chicken on top. The sesame balls were delicious. They had a nice crunch and chewiness to it and the filling was slightly sweet. The mussels and clams had good flavor, maybe a tad overcooked but that's not surprising for a buffet. The macaroni salad was a bit bland but the pasta salad was ok. They had regular fried rice and chicken fried rice but I didn't sample either, although they looked good. There were so many other items that I didn't get a chance to try before I was full. Overall this is a great Chinese buffet place with lots of different dishes to try out.

The taste was mediocre, lots of the entrees were cold. It used to be a go to place. Very obvious that there was a change of ownership/management. Our server, Lupe was very friendly.

The food wasn't great there were only 2 things I found actually really good. One was the coconut shrimp and I was genuinely enjoying it until some breading fell off to reveal the shrimp was not cleaned. I showed it to my waitress who got the manager and said they are bought premade and basically o well. They didn't offer any compensation or anything. It's a shame the actual restaurant is pretty and has potential.

We went on the weekend an hour after open and all of the meats were colder than room temperature. It didn't help the food that it was freezing inside. I just want my hot food hot at a buffet. I don't mind if it's that cold if I can reheat it myself but I don't feel comfortable asking my server to microwave it every time I grab a new plate. I'll give it an extra star as the TooGoodToGo deal they have has great leftovers to reheat at home
