This one will be in the pros and cons list style because I feel it will be more effective. I will say we have a family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers (14,13,13). The total including drinks was $64.15, which I feel is very reasonable these days. PROS: * The price is very reasonable for the current times. * There are a lot of different food choices. * There is an ice cream machine, just chocolate and vanilla. * They have duck sauce, and that's a huge win for me personally. * The inside has small trinkets for sale, which is fun. * Big parking lot. * No fish smell when you walk in. * They do a good job keeping the food treats full and switching them when they are empty. * The wait staff cleared the plates from the table promptly. * Both times we came here, we received a $5.00 off coupon for a return visit. CONS: * The temperature of the food is warm, but since a buffet, it is never really HOT. * They only have Pepsi products... * No hot tea option. * I DO NOT SUGGEST THE FRUIT. We tried it both times, and it just was not good. * Although they have soft serve ice cream, they did not have cones either time we went. * I feel that there are too many seafood dishes as well, but that is just a personal thing mostly. OVERALL: We will likely return, but I am going to be completely honest. The reason for the return business is because of the price being so reasonable. The food is only mediocre at best. but in the financial crisis our country is dealing with currently, mediocre is what I can afford.

After my favorite buffet closed down, I had to find somewhere new. This has been my favorite place to eat. The jalapeño chicken is absolutely fantastic. I love making the trip here once a week. Love those egg rolls.

We absolutely love getting our takeout from here! The food is always great and plentiful for the price. And the customer service is always wonderful and pleasant. Plan on going back very soon

Family owned for over 20 years. Authentic tasty food! Owners were hard at work but took time to chat. Definitely check this one out!

Bourbon chicken did not taste like bourbon chicken. It was good enough to finish though. Dirty tables every time I’ve been there. Sticky tables. They are courteous, but not friendly. It was ok. Egg rolls were really though. Nice and crunchy.

Best chinese I have had in this town. the food is fried golden brown. Amazing and will go there everytime

I got the general gso lunch special and it was delicious. Best general gso I've had in a while.

Shrimp fried rice and General Tso dinners were on point tonight. I've had chewy chicken here in the past but that didn't happen tonight. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly spiced. Also, they have a selection of Asian sweets available for purchase. I didn't try any but others may be interested.

Well, sadly I was very disappointed in my meal. Was told by a coworker this place had great food. Walking inside restaurant it seemed to have no heat. The food was barely warm, chicken was super hot but the rice seemed cold and not fresh. The jelly substance the general Taos was in was extremely slimy and gross. I was hoping for a great lunch. Won't be back.

My favorite Asian joint in Elkhart, IN, I would go there with my co workers every week. Friendly staff, quick service and delicious dishes. Try the crispy beef as well. Very clean.

Not good at all. Not sure what kind of rice they use but it's terrible. I spent $16.42 to still be hungry. The Shrimp egg roll was delicious. I'm so disappointed because I'm still hungry waited all day for Chinese to be utterly disappointed. 😢

Been going here for years food is good every time only compliant is the lady running the counter. Being the face of your business first wouldn’t expect a white lady and second one that is so rude. You would benefit by replacing her. But again your food is good and would gladly give more stars when she’s not there until then I will go to Zing.

We showed up here looking for a buffet, it is not a buffet, but we asked for what we wanted and got it ten fold, delicious food, wonderful, kid friendly, kind and humble service. Beautiful place. 10 out of 10 recommend, and can't wait to go back. Servings are generous and we have left overs...🤤 5 stars.

I should have read reviews about their bourbon chicken before i ordered. Disgusting!! It's plain chicken breast cut up, not seasoned or seared, and throw in some light sugary sauce--not like any burbon chicken I've ever had. The honey walnut shrimp is in this super oddly sweet sauce that has the consistency of snot. I want my money back cuz this is not right. The crab ragoons were good tho....shock I know!

In the past, this has never happened ! I asked the lady why is a tip added to mybill?? She stated it was for a service fee. What service? I should have the option to determine if you deserve a tip, not help yourself to my money ! It is not my fault that you chose to be in there by yourself, making a food, serving the food and taking orders on thePhone . Her response was next time you take your stuff to go! Unacceptable! Then she ran my card and looking for me to give another tip! Please!Pay attention to your bill when you go to this place during lunch.The second receipt shows where she has the audacity to ask for another tip!

Hands down the best Chinese in Elkhart. I've been eating here since I was a little girl and never been disappointed. We ordered the garlic chicken, honey chicken, fried pot stickers, and chicken teriyaki. Also you have to have one of their egg rolls! So crispy and delicious. Very quick and their food is always coming out hot.

This place is clean, fast, fairly priced, and their quality of their food is amazing. If you are a picky fan of egg-rolls, you must try these here. They’re flaky, not too greasy, and delicious! I also tried the combination fried rice you will see above. The shrimp are very clean and the barbecue pork is phenomenal! It’s tender like brisket and full of flavor without being too sweet!

I love China Sea, the servers are always very kind. The place is small and a little old, but it feels nice to eat in a small little place it's very comforting. They seem like a small business so I don't blame them if they don't have the money to fix the place up a little bit. The food is amazing, I especially love their sesame chicken it's so good!

I think this place might be under new management, though but sure when they took over. The menu is smaller now, but in my opinion the food is much better quality. Only complaint is the fried rice doesn't have veggies, but I was unbothered because our dishes had so many veggies in them.

Rude lady in front tried to tell me I called in before and never picked up order. When she read me the number back it wasnt even the correct number. Lost a paying customer. Get better with your customer service. Absolutely no way to run a business. I wish I could give less than a 1 Star.

This is a nice Chinese food place with good food and good service. It is in a small shopping center and the building itself is fairly small. There's only a couple of tables for sitting at. When I came in, the staff took my order right away and they were friendly. The food was done fairly quickly and it was a good portion. I got the house fried rice and it was flavorful.

The other day, when I stopped by Franklin for a lovely luncheon with my golf buddies, I decided to stop by Long River. The service was excellent, and I was frank(lin)ly blown away by the quality of the food here. The orange chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, and the flavors simply danced on my tongue in a nice symphony—or perhaps more like a waltz? Either way, it paired well with the house lo mein that we split, and I would recommend this shop to any of my old buddies. Huzzah!

This family run small business has a huge menu with lots of options. I ordered so much food! I tried their seafood udon soup (AMAZING!!), braised eggplant (surprisingly sweet), mapo tofu (SO SPICY GOOD!), dragon roll bento, and milk tea (WOW!). Everything was delicious! And they actually gave me enough white rice for the entrees. Dining area is cozy and simple.

They have a list of authentic Chinese dishes. You won’t go wrong with any dish on that list if you want authentic Chinese flavors. Also, it has great price. My favorite is Three Cup Chicken (三杯鸡）Sour Pickled Cabbage Fish, （酸菜鱼）Shredded Beef （农家小炒肉）
