My Dad dabbles a bit, and on one visit as he was at the sushi bar, he offered a tip to the preparer who then quickly pointed to which sushi he should get because it was \"the freshest.\" Hmm...\n\nI had lunch today because I had a coupon. I always try never to be seated in the booths to the left of the buffet as you walk in as there is just too much employee foot traffic to negotiate. Don't get me wrong, I like attentive service, but it was frustrating trying to get out of the booths and to the bar having to dodge the roving waitresses constantly up and down the aisle and, if not moving, firmly planting themselves in the aisle right where access from the buffet and booths are. There was also little effort to move so customers could freely move about.\n\nAs far as the food, nothing exceptional stood out to me. The \"house special\" chicken was alright once removing the skin which had a rubbery consistency. The grilled shrimp were flavorless with no seasoning or grilled flavor making hot sauce or salt a necessity.\n\nOther dishes were as expected with temperature being reasonable for a buffet. What brings me back are their BBQ chicken wings which really should be labeled as hot wings for those not knowing they have some kick. Not like wings you'd find at wing restaurants like BWW and a little small, but, hey, you can get as many as you want!\n\nI ended my meal with some soft serve ice cream. After circling the buffet a few times, I found my only options were to use a soup cup or have a cone as they had no dessert dishes. Either they don't offer them or all were being washed.\n\nThe machine dispensed really fast, and all the cups were freshly washed (read this as still hot) so I luckily found a coffee saucer to put my cup under so I didn't drip all the way back to my seat. Again, after nearly crawling over employees set up almost as obstacles to the customer, I had a few spoons of my now almost entirely melted serving in which I had little interest in trying to get another serving.\n\nChina Buffet is a little expensive for lunch even with a coupon. I guess if I loved sushi this would be a great value. I definitely will go again when I have a coupon but be firm in where I wish to be seated as the booths are just too big of a hassle when trying to get to the buffet and around the army of employees."^^ . .
