update I'm at a chinese buffet I've never tried before This one is in a kind of poorer neighborhood and requires pre-payment which is new to me. It's also got tamales and taquitos on the buffet. But no Egg Rolls, only spring rolls

do you guys ever feel kind of bad eating alone at a chinese buffet i mostly do not, but it is sometimes striking to be the only person there solo also, i worry that the server will take away my cup rather than refill it

If you’re going out to eat with another human being go somewhere nice with some ambience instead of a place designed to facilitate the ingestion of 8 pounds of krab cheese

Never eat Panda I don't think I've been to a Chinese buffet since I was a kid but 99 Ranch, a Chinese supermarket primarily located in California, has this awesome thing where you take one of those three section to go containers and just cram it full of all this delicious steam table food for like $10. Tons of variety. And when I say cram it full, I mean to the point where you can't even close the lid on it. I've tried different strats to get the most food possible, but those lil ol Chinese ladies always end up putting me to shame. (also I feel a little guilty taking that much food)

Also wow you get your drinks refilled? I have to refill my own.

Don’t eat rice at a Chinese buffet. Do scoop all the shrimp out of the seafood delight leaving behind the krab and celery.

The ones Ive been to in CA have big ol fried chicken legs at the hot table. Some stores will even let you order fresh made noodles at the same counter (beef chow fun/singapore curry noodles) and you get a fuckload of noodles for 7 bucks.

Ate at a Chinese buffet. Awesome food great lineup of fatty chicken and lo mien. General tsos and pepper steak always a great choice. This one also does fresh sushi and a hibachi grill if that's your thing. 5 outta 5 for 12 dollars. Just didn't have crab legs but did have crayfish. Not eating the clams though. Also had the loney American food sitting under the hot lights for forever itseemed. Anyone dumb enough to eat the cheese pizza deserved the horrible cardboard they got. God it looked like it was a rock.

Had a real good chinese buffet close to my place. Crab legs and crawfish for lunch owns. There's also an "american" style buffet next door which is like that lone american food sitting under the heat lamps except most of the buffet is like that. It also had ribs and a grill to request for overdone lovely quality steaks. I'd put that place above Golden Coral.

it's the same rookie mistake people do when going to brazilian steakhouses for $50-75/head they hit up the salad bar because "healthy" or whatever, and waste precious stomach space on green leaves instead of more meat

I'm down. Wings were probably part of the reason I went to the old Chinese buffet in my hometown. Tell myself I'm refueling after busting my rear end at the gym, and then chowing down on protein-filled chicken wings and assorted beef and vegetable dishes? Good times.

Do Large Chinese Combos from suburban food courts fit in here? Im gonna guess they do. Large Chinese Combo - Rice or noodles and 4 choices from the bain-marie crammed into a plastic takeaway container. Its always the standards: Beef blackbean, Sweet&sour pork, Mongolian beef, Satay chicken, etc etc.. Extremely generic westernised Chinese food. Usually about AU$12. I love it. Some combos I have ate:          A Grand Egg fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Feb 27, 2020 |

My wife introduced me to the concept of “Mall Chicken.” It’s just Mongolian chicken from whatever place in the food court has the Asian ladies who most aggressively thrust chicken-laden toothpicks toward your eyeballs, but it’s been sitting in the hot plate for god knows how long, absorbing all the odors and flavors and general ambience of the mall and it somehow just tastes amazing when combined with papery noodles and greasy sauce in a cozy styrofoam sarcophagus. Hell yeah.

The mall I used to work at years ago had the best tasting Hibachi I have ever had, to this day. It was cooked fresh, and it was cheap as gently caress, and one day they closed to remodel and decided never to re-open

I really miss the Chinese buffet I went to as a stoned teen to 20 something. It was so loving delicious. And not just while stoned, though of course that always helped. I went there recently and it was godawful. Under new management, the food was somehow even greasier and now utterly tasteless and not fresh at all. Look, it was greasy before, but at least it was fresh and had a lot of flavor. Literally the second best General Tso's I've ever had was in that sketchy as gently caress place. It was spicy, it was sweet, the breading was fried to that sweet spot between too hard and too soft...just perfection. I would eat it with white rice and practically lick the plate. Everything was good there. Mongolian beef, green beans, shrimp and veggies, teriyaki chicken, beef and broccoli, Chinese donuts, even the cut fruit and little cakes trays were poppin'. They had some kind of coffee cake roll that was addictive as gently caress. I have never been to a single Chinese buffet that compares in 15 loving years. There's not enough weed or alcohol in the world to make a lovely Chinese buffet into the Chinese buffet from my youth.

The one I lived near a few years back had 3$ zombies and usually undercharged us because we'd have most of a softball team in there a couple times a week. Their food was pretty solid all-around. Excellent dumplings, general, coconut shrimp, beef and broccoli and crab Rangoon were always fresh. Their drinks were killer tho, they actually made them right, with 151 in them, but they tasted delicious. I don't think i ever got less than four plates. Piled high

My local Chinese buffet has just lost its alcohol licence as they were caught being involved in some dodgy poo poo. Under "starters" they have chicken nuggets, fries, spring rolls and vegetable samosas and I have to always restrain myself from just loading up my plate with fried poo poo and going to town.

That’s what you’re supposed to do the first plate is always fried appetizer poo poo and the second plate is the higher end entrees (shrimp etc) third plate is sushi if they have it and fourth plate is Mongolian if they have it and the fifth plate is the beef/chicken entrees and then six plate is any stuff you want to try but haven’t had room for yet and seventh plate is seconds of the stuff that you liked from the previous plates and eighth is desert plate.
