China Buffet,

112 Academy Drive, Ripley, WV 25271

"Not a buffet. That's very disappointing when you're excited to try a Chinese buffet restaurant. I guess I should have been able to guess that, though; it's not like buffet is in their name..."

"Although it is solely carry out now I still love this place as I always have. Contrary to other reviews I think the food is delicious. Their lunch portions are priced fairly for the prices in this day and time, and as for the price for family sized portions you’re not going to go anywhere and eat for less. The service is always great and they are always kind."

"Well there is no atmosphere because it is all take out food now. The price for Chinese food has risen so drastically I won't be buying much this year, but this is in alignment with everything that has risen in cost. We got several stimulus packages for a few months and I guess now we have years of inflation because of our stimulus checks we got and COVID surcharges. The bad thing is we didn't accomplish much at all with all the money invested in COVID. We're still seeing the mutating virus and still see that none of the vaccines were able to keep out the virus. Although we did spend 20 years in the war spending away and we didn't see this rise?"

"Flavorless and bland. Really had high hopes since recently moving and the China Buffet is only about 7 miles away. Chinese is our usually go to takeout when we do family movie nights every weekend. I've had some amazing chicken on a stick in the past, I'm unclear why this place adds red coloring/dye to a completely unseasoned tasteless dried out chunk of chicken and tries to pass it off. My chicken mien only had a single piece of chicken. I may as well have ordered the veggie for a lower price, but there were very few veggies as well. General Tso was okay a little overly sweet not much flavor otherwise. But at least it was not dried out like others. Pepper steak with onions another bland dish overloaded with 90% onions very little meat or green pepper to balance it out. Egg rolls have some form of odd meat that's a cross between bacon bits and ground pork. Customer service is not the best. I called in told them I was new to the area and didn't have a menu proceeded to try and ask about different options if they carry them that I would like to order. Got the vibe I was being a pain/burden to the person on the phone.. One would think they would have put one in with my takeout order in hopes for repeat business- they did not. There are plenty of other food options in the area. I do not recommend this place if your looking for flavorful Chinese food. Not worth the price in my honest opinion."

"What a charming place. We've eaten Chinese food all over Texas, Australia and a couple of places in West Virginia. The food is by far the best. Hot and tasty ! Highly recommend eating here."
