Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Gross. Gross. Gross. The only decent food from this place are the crab rangoons. Don't even bother to order anything else. And the buffet table? DISGUSTING. It's so obvious the food had been sitting there all day, and the table looks like it hasn't been cleaned since 2002. The people there are nice, though. If they do a complete 360 with the quality of their food and clean up the entire restaurant, I might come back.

Ok food, but nothing to write home about. Good if you don't feel like driving/walking far or work near here

Well, I had an hour to kill before an important meeting, and I figured I needed to try this place just to see how it stacked up. The China Buffet is one of those Chinese restaurants that was widespread in the 1980s, but has managed to survive until now. The interior is completely bland. Buffet prices and descriptions are stuck to the wall with 3" tall block lettering. Oh, and there were french fries mixed with the crab rangoon, and fried chicken served on the side. Such was my introduction to the restaurant. The food was completely hit-or-miss. The fried rice was somewhat crunchy, and had a good texture, but its flavor was completely obliterated by an heavy hand on the soy sauce. Some sort of seafood dish was ruined by something pretending to be imitation crab meat--crab meat is not supposed to be chalky. Most of the buffet food had been out there a while. The mushroom dishes did not skimp on the mushrooms, and they were quite good. Some sort of mushroom-chicken dish was pretty good, though the chicken was dry. The orange chicken (I think that's what it was?) was surprisingly flavorful, though a bit salty, and easily the best entree out there. The hot and sour soup was standard fare, but avoid the very stale wontons. The crab rangoon also was stale. If you wanted fried chicken, though, it came out very nicely. The sushi in the back also was quite good, although I'd probably head a few doors down if I wanted to eat sushi. Avoid anything at the dessert table, where most of it was dry, except for maybe the Jell-O. The owners run the house in front and cook in the back, and serve you with a smile. I regret to say that unless their food quality turns around, I probably won't be back.

I loved this place. However its only good for TAKE OUT as the interior is not good for a dinning experience. And the buffet is hit or miss. My favorites were the kung pao chicken, chicken sticks, chicken wings and orange chicken. I miss this place as the Chinese food where I live now doesn't compare.

I love this place! I been coming here for 10yrs. The only negative about this place is that, it looks old and not well maintained. But I still love this place!

Its Chinese food. The food is hot, not entirely TOO greasy and the prices are not too bad especially if you eat the buffet vs. ordering out.

I honestly don't agree with any of the other postings. I have been here a lot seeing that I love chinese food and I live in the apartments right behind it. The people who work there are always friendly and helpful. They are all nice and speedy at checking you in and out and cleaning up after your plates. They place is small but the buffet is great. They have a nice variety of hot food and desserts. I have been there for the buffet and I have ordered out and I have loved the food each time!

I find no reason to go to this place. The people are rude. The place looks like a backroom instead of a dining room. The service is awful (you know its bad when service at buffet is bad). The food leaves you feeling like you ate a bowl of grease. Go somewhere else.

This is a buffet that I have been going to for a while now, but sparingly. My mother is a dentist a few doors down from the restaurant and we have been good friends with the management of this restaurant for a while now-they are very nice and friendly! The food is actually some of the best Chinese buffet food I've had. Lo mein is very good and so is all of the varieties of chicken. Being a buffet, sometimes the food can be a bit dry but if you ask for a refill then they will do it! Prices are very good for an all-you-can eat as well. This is definitely a restaurant for take-out only. Dirty interior and is showing age. Don't take anything out of the desert buffet-its been there for a while. The Good: -Food is good and consistent! -Friendly owners! The Bad: -Inside is very dirty, but that won't stop me from ordering take out.

I decided to finally try this place and I won't be back. The food is... weird. The chicken in the chicken and garlic sauce has a strange texture to it even though the actual dish as a whole is rather flavorful. As for the Kung Pao chicken, I've never had their weird version of it before. Some green cubes of a vegetable I cannot identify and no peanuts. WTF? And, again, the chicken had a strange texture. It did for the Mongolian chicken as well, and we didn't get any crispy noodles with it like the menu advertised. Oh and the egg rolls were positively dry and gross. I couldn't even tell what was in them but they weren't good. I didn't think the woman who took our take order was rude but due to the strange texture of the meat I'd rather not eat here again. I can go over to Luong Loi in Wheaton and get way better food for the same price. The portions will be smaller, but way more fresh and the chicken won't be so rubbery and weird.

I just stopped here and looked over the Buffet table and what I saw was Pathetic ! ! About half of the choices were empty . And when the lady came from the back I asked her about them she was extremely sarcastic and said what do you mean there's plenty food how much you need ? I said it looks like your closing she kept repeating plenty of food and went in the back. Out of about 11 containers 5 were only crumbs Litteraly. The other stuff was almost gone and the beef and chicken sticks looked horrible . Dried out shoe leather looks better. And there was only 2 or 3 of each in the pans anyway . The white rice had about 2 servings left same as the fried rice . I felt the fried rice and it was COLD ! When one of the other workers asked what was wrong she looked at me aid something in Chinese and they both had a good Laugh . I left without getting anything . Eat here ? Ha fat chance . And like the other reviews say this place is very dirty I thought I'd take a chance based on the good reviews but No way . I'm temped to call the health department in the morning . The food in steam tables is cold and the place is dirty . Only one star because I had too.

The food quality is still the same...at least they are consistent.
