    Loved the China Buffet when it was at it's old location.  Now the only time I eat here is when I'm in the mood for take-out.  Don't sit down and eat here.  Order food to go!  It is much better that way!  

    My family staples are Chicken and Broccoli, General Tso's Chicken, Beef with Chinese Veggies, chicken wings, and crab rangoon.  Everything is good every time!

    1 star only because yelp won't let me rate it lower!!! Out of iced tea an hour before they closed, lady vacuumed the floor around me and even under the table at my booth while I was eating, that's just rude. Other staff seemed to be having a eat the leftovers right out of the steam trays party in the reserved section, mind you it was still 30 minutes before their posted closing time. Food tasted ok, but was only Luke warm. Do your self a favor and eat somewhere else, you'll be glad you did!

    You know how you go in to a restaurant and the staff seems too desperate and over friendly? Lol  I like it here  comfortable do your own thing "eat"! They are always refilling the buffet asap! Just come eat and find out if you don't believe it! Btw they beat all the other Chinese buffet with their fish sticks. Taste amazing! You can actually taste how fresh and real fish! Other places I went to just taste like lots of flour! I love their fish sticks!!!  plus I like how you don't have to wait for a server to refill your drink. Do it yourself.

    Awww...why all the hating on China Buffet?

    Lived in Fairmont for several years, moved away now but business at times brings me back through town and every time my go to place for lunch is China Buffet.

    Ok, so you have to have the appropriate set of standards when you go to any Chinese food buffet, this is a BUFFET. The nice thing about buffets is the selection. Not sure you will like a dish? Take a small portion, try it, go back if you like, if not then no big loss. Not like you have to order a huge meal and end up hating it, move on to something else :)

    Big fan of thier cashew chicken - yum. They have a nice large rice cooker with white rice, and the low mein is the boss. Also the green beans are always tasty and not overly salty. I appreciate they have both egg rolls and spring rolls and several dipping sauces to choose from. Piping hot oolong tea, brewed stronger than most other places.

    I like the new location, decor is nice and service is always friendly.

    If you're in town, give this place a try. As far as Asian buffets go this place is very good!

    If you want a nice, clean, & affordable Chinese Buffet with good variety of food this is the place! Food is always good & the always fresh during lunch & dinner hours. They have 2 hot tables & 2 cold/dessert tables. I always get my fill here. If they had a few more high end buffet items I would give it 5 stars. High recommend if your hungry for Chinese Buffet!
