I was at China Rose for a conference last night and the lounge is a respectable rental space, seating about 70 people with just enough room for presenters and a display table. I appreciate the free parking in a huge lot that is easy to find.
The buffet was the conference meal and I only scratched the surface, as I was emcee and didn't want to overeat. I had chow mein, spring rolls, fried rice and orange chicken (I think that's what it was. It wasn't ginger or lemon). The chow mein was pretty dry but everything else was okay. I think their desert selection is weak and from what I could see, there's only one traditional choice. Otherwise you're opting for standard cake-type stuff or ice cream. The buffet area seems crowded to me and they need to step it up in the cutlery department. I shouldn't be eating my desert with a plastic fork in a restaurant.
I ate at China Rose a few times years ago and was totally fine with it then. I guess my standards have changed and I wouldn't say this is a place you'd want to bring friends or company to if you're in the mood for buffet and looking for a nice dining experience. For me, it's good enough for a spontaneous and casual outing with my spouse.
