Customer Reviews
I’ve been coming to China Buffet in Lowell for years and have always enjoyed it. The food is consistently good, and while the service can feel rushed with servers frequently checking if you’re all set, it’s never bothered me since I’m used to it. However, during my most recent visit, I witnessed something that really changed how I feel about eating here. One of the employees who restocks the buffet accidentally dropped a piece of salmon fillet onto the hard counter area where the trays are set. She struggled to pick it up using the same serving spoon she was using to restock the tray. After the fillet slid across the counter, she eventually picked it up and placed it into the tray she was carrying so I assumed she was going to discard it. Unfortunately, she ended up mixing it back into th
Food didn’t taste like much. There weren’t many selections when it came to sushi, same ingredients were recycled. A tip for the waitress - a please, thank you and excuse me goes a long way. There were ice cream flavors that they dumped on top of others. Food was cold and wasn’t worth the price. On a positive note, the wings were good!
Amazing fresh buffet!! Can’t say enough about this hidden gem in Lowell. You may have to work to find it - tucked into the back of a shopping center, but it’s well worth the effort! Food is amazing. Absolutely delicious. This is not your run of the mill buffet. There are plentiful choices, all fresh and tasty. Nicely presented. Friendly staff! Fruit is fresh and the best, melons dark and rich. Chocolate cake looks and tastes great. Sushi bar all fresh and well-decorated. I’ve been trying to cut back lately - but couldn’t here. Had to try everything and it was so, so good. If you like Chinese food and buffets are ok with you, you will love this place. Our new go to, what took us so long?!🙂🎉 Hope I didn’t over-use the word fresh, but it’s true. You leave feeling great!🌅
This Chinese buffet is fully stocked with a lot of fresh food. It has a full sushi bar. The temperature is kept lukewarm solar foods stay fresh longer. Lunch is only around $17 total with 15% tip automatically added into it
Old restaurant in a small strip mall area in Lowell. Place looks a bit antiquated and needs a renovation. There’s ~4-5 tables of buffet food. It was lunch time so the food was hot and food turnover was good. But the sushi was somewhat cold and very limited, no raw sushi. The food is typical of a buffet place, serving the needs of the local community so nothing fancy or exotic. The taste is OK. Not advertised were the prices, excluding taxes, upon asking the cashier: Weekday lunch $12.95 Weeknight dinner $17.95 Be careful as the receipt includes a 15% tip, which should be optional especially for a buffet place. It’s not proper to just include the tip as some people will complain about that! Should tell the cashier to tell the owner to remove that mandatory tip on the receipt. There is
