Chen's Buffet,

901 North Pearl Street, Paola, KS 66071

"Very good food for the buffet, coming out fresh and hot. Service was great and the waiting staff was very hospitable. We'll definitely be coming back soon."

"Hands down the best Chinese food I have ever tried it is fresh in good tasting , service wise is amazing there's a kid in there his name is Richard he is one of the best servers amazing attitude Good Vibes always coming around to see if everybody's doing good...."

"Update as of December of 2023: I wrote a pretty bad review here a few months back. They changed management and things were pretty rough during the transition. After giving them a couple chances since then, I’m very happy to say they have improved and returned to the same quality of the old ownership. The quality of the food and service has improved. I would definitely recommend eating here again."

"We live in Ottawa and have been craving a good Chinese place. We had to come to Paola for our son's football game. Hubby and I decided to come a little early for a date. We went here and the workers were very welcoming and everything was perfect! The waiter made sure we had full drinks and checked on us often. We enjoyed the entire experience. There was one other person in there when we went and we expected there to be little food and old. There was so much food and it was all fresh!!! This is a place I would make the trip for again even without football games!!"

"My favorite thing is orange chicken so I ordered it it turned out to be dark chicken over cooked burned chicken. The owner was very nice and gave us egg drop soup on the house. Spent $30 for lunch and it was the worst orange chicken I’ve ever had and I never heard of orange chicken being cooked with dark meat. Very disappointing I took whatever is left over home with me but it’s going to end up in the trash. The sauce is very good but it was the worst chicken I’ve ever had. It was a waste of $11 that didn’t come with anything but white rice . I don’t think I’ll ever be back there even though my friend likes this place I think it’s pretty bad. I had their all you can eat buffet one time and I didn’t care for that either and this is my second time there and I thought maybe I’ll just order off the menu but that was a mistake wasn’t any better it was actually worse. She told me I had to ask for white chicken and there’s no up charge for it so I don’t understand why you have to ask for white meat. That is way to lose customers especially if you have been there only one time."
