About China Buffet
China Buffet is a Chinese restaurant located at 1305 E Market St, Nappanee, IN 46550, USA. They can be contacted at phone number (574) 773-0539 or mobile phone +1 574-773-0539. As a local Chinese buffet, China Buffet offers an all-you-can-eat dining experience with a selection of Chinese dishes.
According to customer reviews, the food quality at China Buffet has received mixed feedback. One customer found the food and soda to be good and fresh, noting that it is a smaller buffet with limited options, primarily featuring chicken and pork dishes, with no beef or seafood available during the lunch buffet. This reviewer had no overall complaints.
Another aspect mentioned in the reviews is the use of paper plates, which one customer found understandable as a cost-saving measure similar to home use. However, another reviewer expressed strong disapproval of eating off paper plates in a restaurant setting.
A sign regarding food waste was also noted by one customer, who felt it was unnecessary as the cost of waste should be factored into the buffet price.
In contrast, another customer had a significantly negative experience, describing the food as "way way way below average." They specifically mentioned dry teriyaki chicken and honey chicken that tasted like ketchup. This reviewer felt the dinner food appeared to be leftovers from lunch and strongly recommended against visiting China Buffet, calling it a "horrific" experience and the worst review they had ever written.
Local users considering China Buffet should be aware of these varying opinions regarding the food quality, limited selection (especially during lunch), and the use of paper plates for dining.

Customer Reviews
The food I had was good. Soda was good. Everything seemed fresh. But, options are limited, as it's a small buffet. No beef or seafood selections at all, only chicken and pork. (I had the lunch buffet) Read a bunch of reviews about the paper plates or whatever... lol.. Let's just be honest here... most people use that stuff at their homes too, to also save on washing dishes.. I really see NO problem with a buffet restaurant doing the SAME thing...! Sure it seemed odd but think about it, it does kinda make sense... The food wasting sign was a little much in my opinion, because the cost of wasted food should already be factored into the set meal price. But overall I have no complaints.
Way way way below average 👎 I went for the teriyaki chicken (pictured) but it looked incredibly dry and this was after I saw that customers were offered paper plates! Who goes to a restaurant to eat off paper plates?! And the honey chicken had a ketchup taste to it. We paid for dinner but the food looked like it was leftover from lunch! This place was horrific! This is the worst review I've ever written. NOT RECOMMENDED 🚫
This place is as sketchy as it looks from the outside. Food is horribly over cooked or undercooked, no in between. Sweet and sour chicken is hard along with the rice... it's crunchy. Teriyaki chicken extremely dry. Didn't get to try generals chicken because there wasn't any. Chicken and broccoli was over cooked but the sauce was tasty. No ice cream. Only redeeming quality was the jello, very tasty. The building seems like it hasn't had fresh oxygen in years. The tables and chairs were sticky, we ate on Walmart brand paper plates. My stomach is gurgling and I just left. I paid $30 for myself and a child.
The food had a very bad re cooked taste, it was cold and slimy. The place had a forlorn look and feel, and yes styrofoam and paper plates to eat from. Not recommended.
The food was very tasty and delicious 😋 the seafood pie. Omg yum yummy
