When I go to Chinese Buffet places I usually go in with a low exception and the QQ Buffet didn’t do anything to change my view. The dining area has plenty of seating and the décor is just okay. As with most buffets it is clearly set up with the mind set of, «get them in, get them out, and don’t make it too comfortable for them.» As for cleanliness, well, it’s a Chinese Buffet, you come here at your own risk and it’s probably a good thing you can’t see the kitchen. The food is very typical Chinese Buffet, not great, but not bad either. In short, «you get what you pay for… nothing more.»

Had been here several times over the last 7 years and always good. Not tonight, came with a local group and wondered why was this place dead on a Saturday night, soon found out why. I tried every chicken dish and none were even good, some blah, the black pepper chicken was cold, the rest barely edible. Egg rolls were great by the way, rice was good, but hard to mess that up. Shrimp, meh, even the cookies, just okay. I’m from Chicago and have had my share of just ok Chinese food and this is barely in that group. Had to go to Wendy’s later to get full.

I went here with Kwoky L. and we slightly disagree on the approval of QQ Buffet. I am actually from Mattoon, IL and did not know what great Chinese food should taste like until I moved to Chicago. For a small 19,000 population like Mattoon, I would have to say that QQ is an okay place to eat Chinese food, if not the best place in the Mattoon/Charleston area. I found their selection to be much larger than other buffets in the area. I was astonished to see the sushi table as part of the buffet and it tasted somewhat fresh to me. I cannot stand any fishy taste in my seafood(that’s why I love San Francisco). The sushi and the mussels were good enough for me to eat. I really enjoyed the crab rangoon. I know, I know. Crab rangoon isn’t Chinese. I still like it. So, overall against Chicago, QQ Buffet may not be the best Chinese restaurant, but for Central IL, it is one of the best. I would go here again and again. Have Fun!!!
