yeah, i realize that pretty much any chinese buffet is going to suck (way to go, fat americans)...but that's what i'm looking for...the less suckier, the better

*le sigh*

11/9/2007 6:22:12 PM

i lose at suggesting a buffet

but dim sum on sunday mornings at neo china is pretty good

11/9/2007 6:29:24 PM

there's one in Morrisville in the old Golden Corral that's good. Not cheap, but good.

11/9/2007 6:44:39 PM

35 chinese!

11/9/2007 6:45:34 PM

^^ do you remember the name? china one or red dragon? i'm not too worried about cheap...the place in durham that i actually like is something around $12/meal, but it has sushi, and it's pretty decent sushi at that

Ten Ten is pretty good on western

11/9/2007 6:57:27 PM

I always thought Hard Wok in the Pleasant Valley shopping center was pretty good.

i think that place by adams bookstore aint bad

11/9/2007 7:18:32 PM

Main Garden in Cary. It's right next to a pet store so you know it's fresh.

11/9/2007 7:22:04 PM

Grand Asia Buffet at Celebration at Six Forks in North Raleigh

Crystal Palace on Capital

don't know if those are local for you or not, but those are the two best places i've been to around here.

11/9/2007 7:33:42 PM

Ten Ten was the shit in durham when i was like 13.

11/9/2007 7:45:42 PM

what about off of new bern/64?

11/9/2007 7:47:42 PM

they're always beside vets and petsmarts etc

i verified this all the way down i40 to arizona, and all the way back up i10->20->30->40 on the way back

11/9/2007 7:49:25 PM

theres one at the corner of milbrook and atlantic that is freaking phenominal... they have Sushi chef's that prepare fresh sushi working it, and they have a huge thing of peel and eat chilled shrimp... and the general chinese buffet part is pretty nice too...

$7.99 lunch $9.99 dinner... which for all you can eat mediocre sushi + buffet is FABULOUS

11/9/2007 8:55:45 PM

main garden wins this thread

i'm pretty sure you wont find a better all you can eat chinese buffet for the price

11/9/2007 8:57:07 PM

china town in morrisville in the old golden corral

sushi chefs, no roaches like ten ten (if you dont believe me read some of the old health inspections online), huge variety

11/9/2007 9:01:00 PM

China Town was okay, not worth the price though.

We went for lunch on Sunday and it was like 16$ a person. They had a big selection of different foods, but it wasn't anything spectacular. My bf thought the food wasn't as good as the one on Six Forks Road.

The sushi was a lot better than the other ones I've had a buffets, but they weren't able to keep up with the demand when people started coming in.

35 used to be in celebration, then they moved away years and years ago.

11/10/2007 12:33:18 AM

like 2, but i'm sure he meant Grand Asia.


Anyone ever go to Panda Inn? that place was at the top of Celebration behind the water fountain.

man that brings back memories, i was like 6.

11/10/2007 12:42:59 AM

Mr Wok over in RTP isn't bad at all. The fried banana coconut things are bangin'

11/14/2007 12:34:27 AM

Cant remember the name... some 'wang foo' name I am sure... but its in Garner in the wal-mart parking lot. They're good and have a $5 lunch buffet.

i saw Sideny Lowe at the China Queen buffet today. thats got to count for something right?

11/14/2007 12:47:59 AM

Ten Ten on Western. Right next to the Vet...

Still tastes like chicken.

11/14/2007 2:49:15 AM

I highly recommend Jumbo China Buffet either on Wake Forest or New Bern Ave. (I actually had it for dinner last night.)

11/14/2007 8:37:27 AM

Red Dragon off of McCrimmon in Morrisville. It is pricey and not a buffet, but man is it good. Its slightly different than every other chinese place around, you can get all the usual american chinese stuff, but they have a bunch of extras as well.

11/14/2007 8:48:29 AM

buffet

FAIL

11/14/2007 8:51:48 AM

i like Royal China Buffet . Its at the corner of Atlantic and Millbrook. Its the best one so far as variety and food. Tho their ice cream machine was broken last time I went.

i went to china-town for take out around 8:45pm. the food wasn't fresh so I think that going there early is better. its been open for 3 weeks. i think its mediocre. if you combined Royal China Buffet and Grand Asia, you get china-town.

11/14/2007 8:52:40 AM

A chinese buffet? that's good? You must be confused.

I had never heard of this place, but it turns out it's like 5 minutes from where I work. I went there for lunch today and was presently surprised. Pretty good food and decent prices. They even have a Mongolian grill in the corner with all the ingredients for Mongolian BBQ or whatever it's called. It's basically like going to Crazy fire only not nearly as expensive plus there's all sorts of "regular" chinese food too.

This is Royal China. Definitely my favorite buffet around here. I've been to Crystal Palace too, and it was good. But I prefer Royal China.

I wonder if that's a second location of the Red Dragon at the corner of Oberlin and Fairview? It, too, falls into the "not a buffet, but man is it good" category.

11/14/2007 2:33:45 PM

I am going to have to formally retract anything good I said about Main Garden at this point in time.
