    This has got to be the best Chinese buffet I've ever been to. All the food is so delicious they have from ribs to Chinese fried rice. Ice cream that you can scoop yourself. A chocolate fountain all the sushi you want. Very very clean restaurant.

    One of our go to spots. Never disappoints. Always good to celebrate with groups for any occasion. Great selection of food and dessert.

    I'm surprised that this place gets as many stars that it gets. I've lived in the area for about 7 years (almost across the street from China Sea) but I've never gone to this place because of my experience with buffets (i.e. cheap - bottom of the barrel type of food). I decided today to give this place a try. China Sea met my expectations which were very low. Yes, the food is low quality. I tried 5 different types of entrees and only 1 came close to being okay. That was the spicy chicken. The others were totally bland and you could tell very easily that the chicken and beef were laden with fat -- just very low quality types of meats. The ice tea that I had was extremely weak. In fact, at first, I thought they messed up and gave me H2O. The "server" then came over to refill my glass and sure enough it was tea. I give this place a 2 out of 5 star rating. 1 star is for the service (not bad at all) and the 2nd star for the egg drop soup. (I have a feeling that a lot of these 4 and 5 star ratings with just 1 line in them for a review are totally bogus).

    I been going to this restaurant once in a while. The seafood was always fresh and very well prepared. I been there yesterday and the food was cold not good. Restaurant was soo ugly, chairs , restrooms is dirty. I went to the window to ask them if they got more mussels and I noticed that the kitchen were gross Not Clean At All. !!. The health department should close this restaurant ASAP.

    Food was good, but with the large buffet area we expected a larger variety. Pricing was reasonable. Staff were friendly.
