This was such a pleasant place to go after a long day of work and shamelessly eat as much orange chicken and crab wontons as I could possibly want. For such a remarkably low price, they have excellent food that was always fresh. I was shocked to see some of the bad reviews on here because I thought everything was excellent! And I didn’t just happen to come in on a good day, I’ve gone here at least half a dozen times and had similar experiences every time. Whenever something is running low they replace it with a fresh batch fairly quickly. Every time I’ve left here I’ve honestly felt like the food I ate cost double of what I paid for it! Whether that says more about their low prices or my ability to inhale massive amounts of Chinese food is left to the reader’s interpretation.

The China Buffet is a good place for a decent fast meal. They don’t have a whole lot to offer, but the food that they do have is pretty good. No drinks are included in their price, but they give you a few desserts that’s included.

First place I’ve ever eaten where not only can you hear the chef cooking & chopping, you can hear him hacking up loogies. Fortunately I didn’t hear any spitting

Very good buffet because the quality of the food is good, veggies are fresh, many protein choices, white rice and fried rice, they keep the tables clean, and the workers are polite, nice. and always busy at work. They have a broad enough menu to satisfy our tastes for Chinese food. They’ve also stocked tasty items that I have not seen on other Chinese buffets like their baked fish dish and their butter potatoes. Spicing is nice on their menu items, and stuff that’s supposed to be hot and peppery actually is. There’s not much in the way of ambience, although they’ve managed to put in some Chinese art in a few spots. The price is very low, very reasonable. We’ll return.

Very disappointing. Just two buffet tables. Very little food out a any given time. The broccoli chicken was funky.

There selection while not overly large, was all hot and fresh. They continually run new food out, while the daughter seats people, gets drinks and checks people out at the cash register. They were tasty. The environment is not clean. Quite frankly it was a dump. But for what you got, it was well priced. It was a decent Chinese buffet. Not many restaurants can say that. I would have given them more stars if I thought for a second that anyone had cleaned the carpet in there in the past year. But 3 is as good as I can give.

The food was good but the variety of food was very little. I served myself the same plate three times with the same type of food because there was not many options to choose from. They only had three options of sushi to choose from. The place is really small and I felt really uncomfortable. Overall the staff was very pleasant.

As others have said, I am also Leary of Chinese buffets. The reviews here are all true! This place may be small, but it is quality not quantity. Can’t wait to come back!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! Crisp veggies in the entrées is difficult to accomplish in a buffet, but the broccoli and green beans were perfectly done. The bbq chicken, chicken on a stick and orange chicken were all wonderful. Great meal for under ten bucks!

I am always so in love with the idea of a Chinese buffet. You get to go to a restaurant with hot and fresh delicious Chinese food that you can eat to your heart’s content. However this is usually far from the typical experience which has made me long for them every time I see one, but defer to my better judgement and keep on driving to a different spot to eat. This place has reignited my faith! In terms of appearance and atmosphere it is what you expect from a small cozy China Buffet run by a couple who are DIYing the building and fixture maintenance. What you don’t expect however is the great food! They do have a smaller selection of food, but this is a prime example of where quality counts, not quantity. I didn’t count, but probably between 20 to 30 options, but you will be hard pressed to not find your favorites. I went here with my young kids and we all enjoyed everything we tried. My personal favorites were the orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and the stir-fried string beans. They had a great mix of chicken, beef, seafood, and veggie options, as well as limited sushi offerings, dessert, and some American fare like chicken nuggets and french fries. The price was almost unfair, as they were charging what you would expect to pay for a lunch special at most places. The hostess/owner/server was great. My son was tired and a little cranky, and she was very sweet with him, brought him candy, and even fed him for a while to cheer him up. All in all, it is quite a drive for me to get there, however I will happily make the trek. If I ever get the craving for some Chinese buffet, I now know the only place I will consider going.

Its absolutely adorable how this place brings a community together. Its smaller than most buffets but that just means more attention is put to the food. A nice selection that includes everything you want. My friend and I wondered how they could make money on $ 6.15 per person for lunch and we got our answer. A quick look and you’ll see the Aurora community dining with each other. The customers know the staff well and it shows. As an outsider, I couldn’t help but smile at the closeness. Food wise, I have really nothing to complain about. I’d go so far as to say its better than buffets in NY and Chicago. Seriously.

Hole-in-the-wall small buffet place hidden in Aurora hidden on the side of Walmart. Atmosphere was weird but service was good and was surprisingly pleased with the food. The price was very good and wasn’t the worst Chinese buffet I had. They threw in some free chicken egg rolls as I was ordering so that was nice.

This little restaurant has gone through a few changes in the past few years(Pizza Hut, Curves gym) and it’s location is a bit out of the way. So we were a little excited to see that a Chinese buffet was opening there. We have not had a good Chinese buffet near us for a while. Lunch is about $ 7.00 and dinner is about $ 12.00. We went there on a Thursday for lunch. The selection of food may be less than other buffets, but what was offered was all very good and there was a good range of different foods. They also have a small selection of pretty good sushi too. I don’t know if the selection of food is different for a dinner, but this was definitely a good $ 7.00 lunch.
