Hong Kong Buffet

I know that most of my reviews are typically negative, though that’s only because I’m let down so much.
This place has the possibility to be great, it really, truly does. It just isn’t or seemingly doesn’t care to be. The food, while some things were ok, others were not. Compare the salt and pepper shrimp here to that at the 98 Pounds Buffet in Bloomington. It’s an entirely different experience. Here, it just seems like they purchased some peel and eat shrimp from the Hyvee next door and put some seasoning on it.
I had my daughter with me, so the chocolate milk running out and there only being milky vanilla soft serve did not go over well.
My personal favorite was the old, fat man scolding other people’s children about taking to much shrimp, then he himself spent five minutes digging through very watered crab legs (also a disappointment) with his fingers…
Yeah, I’ll never go back. Truth in this statement can be found following my actions the very next day, where my roommate and I drove down to Bloomington to eat at 98 Pounds Buffet — the superior stop.

It’s standard, run-​of-​the-​mill chinese. These places are a dime a dozen and there’s nothing special to make this place stand out. Still, it wasn’t bad even if it wasn’t memorable. I got full for a reasonable price off a variety of dishes.
The place was clean and neat — and the bathrooms were in order. The dishes were routinely refreshed as the buffet was emptied. There were two rows of entrees and one row of desserts.
Overall, if you’re in the area and hungry for Chinese, it’s probably your go-​to spot. I wouldn’t drive out of my way to go here again, but if I happened to be over that way I’d make a stop.

The food is pretty good… but I think we’ll be looking for a new Chinese delivery.
I recently placed an online order and received a confirmation email afterwards. The delivery time is usually 45 mins-​an hour, so after about an hour and a half of waiting, I called to check on the status. The man that answered asked for my address and immediately replied that it was on the way. After another half hour and no delivery person yet, I called back. This time a woman answered and asked for my address and phone number and proceeds to tell me that they don’t actually have an order for me! When I explained that I had a confirmation email, she tells me that their website doesn’t always work… they took the order and delivered it within about a half hour… but no compensation for the bad experience that was had.
If you have issues with your website, then I think it’s time to remove the online order portion.
I think it’s time for a new Chinese Delivery!

It was alright run of the mill Chinese buffet… It satisfied the craving, but didn’t leave me begging for more.

Small selection.
Ok food.
Not what i was expecting when walked through the door.
Worth the 10 bucks for a quick Chinese buffet fix while at work in the area.

small and too spendy for the price. not a lot of food. but food is ok.

This place is close to home and a frequent stop for us. The walnut shrimp and sesame chicken are highlights for me. Never great but always decent.

My best friend and I used to wait at home for my mother to come home and beg her to take us here. It is by no means traditional Asian food. You can expect the Americanized buffet style of dining; however, they have a large assortment of different dishes to choose from and serve different types of food at lunch and dinner.
The garlic green beans in black curd sauce are very flavorful. Their seafood combo is packed full of vegetables and creatures with exoskeletons. YUM! The difference between many of their dishes, especially the seafood is that it tastes fresher. They are always refreshing the platters.
Lately the place has become a bit too pricey, but I still enjoy the atmosphere and the owner and his family are very friendly and quick to wipe up spills created by small children.
