Super China Buffet – Shoreline

I’ve had the opportunity to experience Chinese buffets across the country and this one is down towards the bottom of the list of all of those experiences.
Service was OK. Place seemed clean but the food was so-​so at best. The highlite was supposed to have been crab. Those certainly weren’t snowcrabs, in fact, I wonder what beach those things crawled onto just before they died. Disgusting looking. They also had some ribs there that had marks from where the jockey had been hitting it. Even the peel and eat shrimp wound up ruined. Way too many shrimp had mushy shells and tasted like they’d been overcooked. There was also quite a lack of Chinese dishes most are accustomed to when you go to a Chinese restaurant. Just a big disappointment.
I would not recommend at all if you’re in the Northern part of Seattle.

It’s been a few years since I last visited this buffet place and it hasn’t changed too much except for the improvement in service and quality of food. Swung by here with the family for a late night dinner and all of us left with a satisfied tummy.
Despite the negative reviews of this place, my family and I received pretty decent service. Our plates were always cleared promptly and our glasses were refilled without much prompting. As for the prices, it’s considerably cheaper (below $ 20 per adult /​dinner) than other buffet places such as Mizuki, Blue Fin and such. However, you do get charged for certain drinks, so keep that in mind.
For the food, the seafood was really tasty! Act quickly or else you won’t get to savor much seafood since they’re often gone so quickly. My favorite was definitely the oysters and clams. Oysters were fresh and not too overloaded with butter + other stuff (usually found in many Chinese buffets) and the clams were tasty and flavorful. As for the other food, it’s typical Chinese dishes like sweet & sour pork, fried rice, veggies, etc etc. The food were always hot and you never really see empty trays for very long. There is a Mongolian grill like station if you want freshly made dish. Sushi and salad bar were meh, nothing too out of the ordinary. One thing that could be improved is the dessert section. Most of the desserts were a bit dried out and bland, and the ice cream machine didn’t churn out firm ice cream… but rather melting, liquid like soupyness. Plus, the ice cream bowl and spoons didn’t look too stellar /​clean.
Overall, this is a pretty decent Chinese buffet to visit if you’re super hungry. There actually isn’t a lot of these around in the North end of Seattle. Also, if it’s your birthday, you do get a discount: D!

I have to be honest that this place is a kinda nice place to have a buffet lunch. It’s super cheap but it tastes good tho. However, I have to admit that some of the food aren’t fresh. For example, I grabbed some of the crabs, and they are so dry and I can’t even find the meat at all. But the freag served one (after they refilled them), are actually tastes really good.
10ish dollar for a buffet is not bad huh?

I have been going to this buffet for years. The lunch prices are a few dollars less than dinner. I would suggest going for lunch to see if you like it.
There is a nice selection of sushi. Ice cream and deserts are served as part of the buffet as well.
Weekends offer crab legs but the cost for buffet is more.
They also give senior discounts.
The place could use a little cleaning up as well as a remodel but it is close to home so we haven’t bothered looking anywhere else in the area.

Not a so good place. Dirty, nasty foods. We went there with the family. The only thing my son likes here is because they have type of Mongolian grill

Drive by here many times and decided to try date night here with my husband on Wed 8÷12÷15. The place was dirty in some areas and on the floor. The Buffett has a large selection, but some items definitely had been sitting out a long time. Food had no taste and I was not impressed. We won’t be going back.

I like eating here I always order Togo and my coconut chicken is fresh and hot the lady at the desk knows my order and is very friendly the offer me water as I wait for my food the prices is far for Togo orders. I’ve never had a cleanliness issue everything is good and safe here maybe reviewers should give it another try!

you can tell alot about what the owner cares more about, customers or the money… obviously money!
walked in looked at the carpets and the bathrooms
(((((we’re out of here))))).
the cooks and staff uses those bathrooms. gross!!!
hello health department :0 (

I have eaten there a few times. Its mediocre at best. Serve is bad. Today my family and I were in there and up in the belcony area one of the waitresses was yelling and screaming and hitting man. We then witnessed that the man was actually pulling her off her young son. I am appalled that she treated the little boy like that in public. I cant imagine what he goes through at home. Police were called. I pray that boy will be ok. Never will i patronize this place again.

So I ordered a Dr. Pepper with no ice but when she came with the drinks mine had I ice!!! This is insane, why would they be so rude?

We decided to try this place despite the bad reviews. Well that was a bad idea. I am honestly surprised that this placed can legally remain open! It was so so so dirty there was food everywhere the floors tables everything was dirty and the food was awful. after a couple bites we all felt sick. Nothing was cooked right and it was all dried out and had no flavor. Yuck stay away! We complained about our food but they did nothing and we barley touched our plates, such a waste of money!

It left something to be desired. The plain atmosphere and décor definitely hinted towards plain «cuisine» and I use this term lightly. Although there were a couple attempts at wowing the palette (coconut chicken, glutinous rice roll) I felt like it was a place to get stuffed on subpar grub. Soft serve looks watered down and cakes are dry. Not an ideal place for dinner, but maybe a late night snack if it was opened. And the fact that one employee didn’t wash their hands and it a no go.

After this dining experience, I wished I went to Central Market next door.
It’s a Asian Buffet, so I’m not expecting top quality food. However Shoreline Super China Buffet is well below par for even the worse buffets out there.
Typical Asian buffet food, but its dry and bland as twenty year old beige Camry. Speaking of which I could lubricate a beige Camry with a lot of the food they serve. A lot of it; is that greasy. I should ran away when I noticed that they only change out hot food three times a day. Food dies under 100 watt heat lamps.
The décor is very dark and very beige. I understand with this food. You do not want to see what your eating.
Super China Buffet has jumped the shark and slowly dying a slow painful death.

Not a bad chinese buffet at all. I’m not a big fan of them in general, but I definitely found some good stuff here. The amount of crab I got for the price, I’m not gonna complain. A-​OK.

I feel like all the food is pretty crappy besides the mongolian grill. I believe it was almost $ 9 for adult lunch. So cheap! But for that price Ide rather get panda express. The interior of this buffet is pretty rundown. The booth seat leather (?) is coming apart which isnt a big deal but if youre looking for a date spot, this is nottt the spot.

Got there at 4:45PM and the chicken (all chicken) was cold. The cheese sticks were rock hard. My wife, brother & daughter refused to eat it. Wife & daughter sat there while the guys ate. My brother got one plate and couldn’t eat more than a few bites, but my son & I ate our $ 12.95 worth. It would NOT be worth it if it wasn’t for the Mongolian grille. That grille is the only reason I got full since the chicken dishes were cold. Had to argue with the waitress about my wife & daughter not eating. She tried to bill us for them just for sitting at our table.
Edit: Went back again today to give them a 2^nd chance. Very disappointed again.

At any Chinese buffet, you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit. This place has good green beans. Good pork dumplings. Lots of things that seem like they came from Costco — like California Rolls. The have sea food, too. But if you eat sea food at a Chinese buffet — best of luck to you! I wish they would up their game on the dessert front. I would be more enthusiastic. It is worth a shot. Good for kids, too. It’s not too expensive either.

I normally don’t give a 5 star rating but in this case, i’m giving 5 star because of many reasons. They are very friendly, their service rocks and the food is just so awesome. I want to start out with the rice. Normally every Chinese restaurant i go to, i look forward to the rice with meat but the rice would taste terrible and not cooked well. When i came to this place, the food was delicious the rice cooked almost to perfection and the vermicelli is very good. The other thing i love is black bean sauce with white rice, very well made. Last is the fact that they have a «dessert» ice cream counter which is good. They should have more for dessert but other than that, i am happy. 5 stars! Recommended.

Apparently a semi-​decent Chinese buffet is hard to come by with all of these Phở shops around. The food is above average for a buffet, but because there are literally no Chinese buffets nearby, I give them 5 Stars.
I will definitely come back here again and again and again.
Quick service.

This has A Mongolian grill, here too. With it is all you can eat.
Green tea, with the meal, the rice was not dried in a blast furnace. It was moist like fried rice should be. The sticky white rice was good too.
I had the General Tso’s, with this little Sole fish, that was a orange ginger flavor with soy sauce. This has a good flavor, but can be bony. Also coconut chicken was very good. Yes, mother was there and she didn’t complain either.
Lunch was good, but I like dinner here better, because of beef ribs and other dinner items for a little more.
