China Sea Buffet - Buffet restaurant in McAllen - 4901 W Expy 83 #175, USA

My kids love to eat Chinese food. This is the place I will take them to dine in. The only thing I did not like is that my daughter wanted to take her Pepsi. The lady up front asked for the drink. Instead of serving the drink in a cup so she could take. We had paid for the drink already. This why I gave a 3 star in service aside from food and atmosphere. I would recommend this place. If only they would make that adjustment. Greatly would appreciate.

In my, and my husband's opinions, this is the best Chinese buffet restaurant that we have been able to find. It is very clean, the food is delicious and always fresh and warm. They do have a variety of all the Chinese food "favs", including sushi (which is very good), and they also have some traditional American staple foods ; pizza, onion rings, chicken nuggets, seasoned fries, among others. They have a Mongolian food section where you pick out your ingredients and have it cooked freshly (and very well) for you. All of their food is very good, but I personally recommend the fried calamari and the fried fish - the best I have ever had! When looking for a Chinese food buffet, I definitely recommend China Sea Buffet to everyone. It's perfect for Chinese food lovers and they have the perfect foods for kids too - including yummy ice cream for dessert, as well as fruits and other healthier choices of desserts for adults.

I used to love eatting here. No more!! I would rather drive down the expressway farther to go to a good Chinese buffet. Health department should go in and check food temperatures. Food that should have been hot was almost cold. The signs on the food as to the dish was rarely correct. The guest counters at the Mongolian grill was filthy. This was the only food that was hot after cooked. I had the beef, the chicken was laying warm in the bowl in bloody water. We were there at 7 pm. The Mongolian Grill was the only reason I gave the restaurant 1 star. And $127.00 was the the bill for poor quality. Would have been appropriate if the food would have been hot, and the counter top clean. Never again.

Do not recommend for you to come if you want to have a good time and eat out in family since the sushi guy seems to have a problem every time you serve yourself sushi. He will literally make a facial expression at you and it made me loose my appetite. How does someone feel comfortable eating at a buffet when the sushi employee makes faces at you…

This is my go-to when my grown kids come to town. My mistake was going late in the afternoon on a Saturday, too many little kids picking over food. Unsanitary. Aside from that, the food was good and fresh.

Price was over 15 dollars per person and food was ok. Cold in some areas and just plain not good

Food is amazing, but the service sucks. You pay for a drink, get one and they almost never come back to ask if you need a refill. I had to look for my server each of the 3 times I’ve been here so it’s not a one off, it’s always.

Service is good but, food quality is not there prices is ok with water. beverages are over priced in my opinion. I was hoping for more sea food options since its called China Sea Buffet but was disappointed will not be coming back over all I would say give it a try but there are better Chinese buffets out there with better food quality for the same price.
