Went there on a Sat. late afternoon to evening and the place was almost empty. The buffet selection wasnt that good and some of the food was sitting for awhile and it shows. The meats were somewhat dry and tough. The noodle dishes was a bit soggy and greasy. Forget about vegetables except for the usual broccoli, bell peppers and onions and may get lucky with string beans. It was nothing special and Not worth returning. Its VERY Difficult finding a Chinese (American) restaurant considering the location but if the buffet isnt that good, it gives other Chinese (American) restaurants a bad name. Dont expect authentic Chinese food which these restaurants are NOT but at least make the food enjoyable to eat! Its hard finding a decent Chinese (American) buffet place near the MA/NH border. Theres a decent one in Newington NH but thats OK! Theres another one or so closer to the Nashua/MA border but thats a long trip from the seacoast MA/NH area. If you want Good Chinese, then travel down further south to MA where theres a Much larger Asian population which Chinese restaurants gear their food towards.

Just ate there. The price was $13.95 with hot tea. The food was... Bleah! Been to many Chinese buffets but this one was just... would not return. The food selection was slim, very small portions, hardly replaced. The food that was sitting there was just sitting there. Some was dry, others were a bit oily. Not much flavor at all. For a Saturday night, it was almost empty! If you see that, then turn around and go someplace else. Since I was there for the first time, may as well try it and try it will probably be the last time as well. Not much selection to choose from and taste was bleah! Too bad theres hardly any good Chinese buffets in northeastern MA. Forget about any decent Chinese buffet places in NH or in ME. Youll have to go further south in MA or to Western MA to find a good Chinese buffet restaurant and there ARE good ones, just NOT in Northern MA, ME or NH. Very disappointed. If youre in NH, then go to the Great Buffet II in Newington, NH. Its acceptable but dont expect anything spectacular. Its American Chinese buffet which is to be expected but better than China(town) Buffet.

Its unfortunate because I really love a Chinese buffet every once in a while but this one did not make me very happy or full, considering I left after one small plate. There were lots of options but half of the food I wanted wasnt out and I waited about 20 minutes and still nothing. Food that was supposed to be firm was soft and vice versa. Ill let your imagination go with that one. Food was stuck to the chafing dishes which made me think it had been out for a while. There seemed to be only one person working that was on their phone the whole time. It wouldnt be a big deal that she were on her phone except there were people waiting to be checked out and greeted that I noticed had to wait. Price was good at only $9 but for that price I could have gotten more food at a takeout place than what I could stomach here.

Ann had decided to take us to China Buffet in Salisbury (picture). I have been there once before, and it is a great experience. You do not know where to start, and you do not know how to stop. There are so many delicious things to eat. Here are some. Crab Rangoon - Coconut Chicken - Panfried Dumplings - Fried Ribs - General Tsaos Chicken - Baked Shrimps - Fried Wontons - Crabs with cheese - Stuffed Mushrooms - Steamed Dumplings - Fried Noodles - Filled Lobster Roll, and this is only a selection. You can also get a selection of Sushi and Sashimi, and desserts. And do drink a bottle of Tsingtao with the food!

My Best friend Michelle owns this place, It has REALLY good Chinese food! only 8 bucks a person... Me and my 15 closest friends and their boyfriends go there every Friday or Saturday and eat there and then go to Cinemagic right next door and catch a movie showing for around 6:45 or 7:15(: FUNNNN! hahahaha

The week time lunch buffet is certainly bargain the quality of the food depends on the time of day to go obviously for a small turnover you cant constantly have fresh buffet style food. But during peak lunch hours everything is very good. During slow times the not popular dishes tend to be a little dry

Always love China Buffet. No pretensions and the scant staff us always gracious and welcoming. The food, for its best efforts, is consistent and very tasty. I go there because, as a book reader, I like a restaurant that doesnt hurry me out. I tip 20% because I feel well cared for there.

I dont think Ive ever had food as old has what I had here. Very stale, not very clean, and a 45 dollar bill between the 3 in my party to top it off. Price not including beer, alcohol, or any items of that sort, just the plate. Might of been well worth it if the food was fresh.

Disgusting. Ive been there several times. Their hot and sour soup is always covered with a film. Several selections are usually left out for hours with only a little bit left. And oh yeah, the ceiling leaks into the goldfish tank.

The soft serve ice cream is soooo good! On the day we went, the restaurant itself was freezing so the food was a little cold. However, with so many options and seafood being most of it, its hard to beat.

First time here. Food is very fresh. Rice and noodles are so fluffy. Crab rangoon is great. Staff is very friendly. Lots of seating to accommodate large parties. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere

Whats not to like about all you can eat Chinese? As long as you dont mind about the quality, you will have a blast...and theres self-serve soft serve!

Bad food. Old food. Lumpy dried out meat and thick clumpy sauce. Tried to make the best of it. Some of the dishes tasted spoiled. Will never go back

Selection is limited for a buffet. Meat dishes did not taste fresh. Of even higher price than nearby Chinese buffet places offering fresher food.

Well made food with many different flavors. I like the buffet option of dining in or taking out the special cuisine.

Cant understand how the service can be so bad in a place where all they need to do is get your drink
