| - In the Chinese Buffet category, Tin Tin is always 5 stars and as good as it gets. We have tried every Chinese buffet in the Charlotte area and this one can't be beat. We have also tried Chinese buffets in other states and Tin Tin is always the gold standard to which we measure all other buffets against. The food is fresh and delicious and the selection can't be beat. They have something for everyone and there's even a section of the buffet for the young picky palates. Every time I dine here, the majority of the diners are Asian...that's a tell-tale sign for me that the food is authentic and delicious! I don't have a huge appetite, but I can eat a good amount of crab legs so that makes it well worth the price, for me.
They also have a great selection of sushi and they always have special items such as Peking Duck, Crispy Pork, Chicken Feet, etc. We're not talking about your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant here!
In addition to their many hot foods, there are also a number of "stations:
~Sushi - they have several varieties or will make special rolls to order.
~ Grill station - you can watch them cook a handful of specialty items such as Scallion Pancakes, Short Ribs, Satay, Dumplings, etc. They are always fresh and cooked to order, if needed.
~ Noodle Bowl station - noodles in a delicious broth with many topping options. I haven't tried it, but my teenager loves it.
~ Cold food station - Salad, Shrimp/Oysters, Fruit, etc
~ Desserts - there are two desserts stations! Even a soft serve ice cream machine.
If you have a good appetite and are looking to splurge a bit...Tin Tin is your place! Note: I mention "splurge" because 3 of us went for dinner on Sat night, we ordered 1 hot tea and 2 cups for soda (free refills) and with tip, it was over $100! In my opinion...it's was well worth it.
