I don’t eat here very often anymore but I called my order in and got the wrong rice. When I called back he treated me like I was lieing. I took a picture of my combination platter he said you can bring it back. I live too far to come all the way back. I said I’m not. I don’t want nothing. I’m just going to leave you a review. I ordered vegetable fried rice and got regular fried rice

The food is amazing! I don’t do buffet’s, so we ordered off the menu. We normally order takeout or delivery, but we ate inside and our waitress was not very nice at all. We had to find her to come take our order. The lady in the front was super nice though and very friendly.

I’m not one for Chinese food, but my wife loves it…. So we both work full time jobs and she was craving Chinese, so I said ok. Well all I can say is that was the best Chinese food I’ve ever had in my 55 years. I’m now hooked on A Taste of China….best Chinese food ever…..we will be visiting the buffet real soon……5 stars all around…..very friendly and service is off the hook. Highly recommend them…. Very clean inside as my wife was the one to pick it up and chose dinner…..We will definitely be back!!!

My food was fresh and hot at the buffet. They also provide gloves and hand sanitizer when using the ladles and spoons at the bar. The dining room was clean and the service was great. We have been going here since college, and have always appreciated how nice and polite the owners are.
