Coco China Buffet

This is the first time I have reviewed a Chinese buffet. When I was younger, I used to love Chinese buffets. Then, I started enjoying them less and less. It finally got to a point when I would tel myself if I thought going to one was a good idea, don't do it.In the town of Bluffton though, the power was out in half of the town so my options were limited this evening.Coco ended being very enjoyable. The best entrees I had were the Honey and Pineapple Chicken, General Tso's, and the Hot and Spicy Chicken. The Honey chicken specifically was magnificent with it's tropical sweetness.The crab Rangoon, dumplings, and eggrolls were all solid. The Rangoons were especially noteworthy for their bigger than average size.Nothing was bad but I thought the Mongolian beef had too much grizzle to it.Service was very friendly! The lady at the counter asked where I was from and in my Southern Alabama accent, I told her Alabama! I asked if zi sounded different and she said yes. She asked if I would come again and I said it's possible.

Very bland very expensive food loaded with msg not worth it all at. Do yourself a favor drive a little extra right over to A-1 kitchen in Decatur much much better food in quality and price.

I love the fact that this place has such a great variety of foods.The price was good for the amount you get. The service was fair. The restaurant was clean and tidy.

Great buffet. Always fresh when we've been in. Congenial host. Always greeted warmly by the owner.

amazing ambiance i love coco china i went with family and friends during the christmas season and they had a man singing amazing karaoke

I don't know what happened here...but there post Covid buffet is not very good. It's hard to describe what the food is now missing. But I will try based on my two post Covid visits.The pork dumpings are tough and chewy - perhaps over cooked or they are sitting too long. The crab & cheese dish lacks the old seafood zip, perhaps watered down. The food with fried dishes like General Taos, Pepper Chicken & Sweet Chicken have similar tastes but the fried pieces are tough and over fried. The soups taste similar but lack the same flair. I think the plastic spoon and Styrofoam bowl give the soup a plastic-chemical taste.The service is still good. The use of plastic utensils and styrofoam plastics makes the dinning experience sub par. Though...I commend the owners for trying to do something that is more Covid compatible.Overall...this just isn't the same Coco China Buffet that I really liked.

Will not try this again.Fried rice had a strange taste, almost like a chemical or cleaner vs. a spice, I tossed it in the trash and the Cashew chicken went right along with it.Wasted $23.45

Not as good as it once was, but still a solid dinner option in Bluffton. Food can sometimes be a bit cold/tough from sitting on the line for awhile, but going at peak times ensures the best food!

I came in to get my pick up order and the staff is always polite and the food is always hot.

The food is pretty good, but it might have the worst value out of any place in Bluffton to eat. They are charging gourmet prices on buffet food. You can use COVID or inflation as an excuse, but when all of your competitors (comparable Asian buffets in the area) have managed to raise their prices to a much smaller degree, you just look greedy.
