    I have visited China Buffet at least 10 times in the last few months and would NOT leave a review of any restaurant until I had dined there at least multiple times. So, now I will review this one. As a widower, I dine out at least a couple times each week and I believe that my review is fair and accurate for this restaurant. China Buffet is a small restaurant just BEHIND the Iguana Mia restaurant just north of Colonial Blvd on 41. Hooters is directly across the parking lot from them so you now have two landmarks to use in finding them. I have NOT been disappointed at any of these visits and have never had digestive issues after eating there. They keep the restaurant clean. The staff is alert and ready to make your visit a good one. I have learned to ask for a knife ("DOW") with my meal there and for many weeks now, staff brings my drink and a knife to my table without being asked. One of their staff, TINA, is especially helpful and is very attentive of diners. I don't eat a wide variety of Chinese food but I do go for their SEAFOOD DELIGHT, CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI, MEIN FUN, MUSHROOMS, FRIED FISH AND SEVERAL VARIETIES OF CHICKEN. They also have a SUSHI BAR that includes ONE item I love to eat; cooked then ice cooled shrimp (on the shell). That bar is included in the buffet. The lunch buffet is when I usually visit because of pricing and my desire to eat my one meal of the day before 4 P.M. after which the price increases a bit. They charge (January, 2022) $10.99 for the buffet-a very appropriate and fair price point in my opinion. I usually finish my meal with ICE CREAM from their freezer and always leave completely satisfied. One thing I really appreciate is that they keep the food bins FULL. I have not experienced that at some other Chinese restaurants I visit 'up-north' where I spend my summers. I have been in Florida during winter months for over 37 years (my-my, has Fort Myers changed in that time!) and I have seen several Chinese Buffet restaurants close their doors in that time. There are likely several other great restaurants in the area but I'll keep going to this one for now. When I like something, it is unlikely that I will try elsewhere for possibly being disappointed. This buffet also has boxed food available for take-out and I see many people use that method of enjoying Chinese food. I doubt that you will be disappointed with this one. The ONLY complaint I have is that parking can be an occasional challenge but I'm always able to park somewhere near the door of this Chinese Buffet. I have not been able yet to convince the owner to start a second restaurant "up-north" but I'm still working on it. I truly believe that you will enjoy your experience here.

    The food was very cold and we didn’t even finish our first plate, they made us pay full price (which I figured would happen). Wouldn’t recommend if you want a quality buffet

    So, this is not my usual place I’d go but I wanted to try their sushi bar. And I was surprisingly pleased. Lots of variety and very good to my taste buds. Then, I went to the rest of the bars and tried a few bites of this and that. There was plenty of food (we went around 5pm), it was all hot. I agree with other reviewers that there isn’t much flavor to what I tried and I wasn’t a fan of the egg rolls.

    We went for dinner, place was OK! But the food was old and cold, ice cream was dried and hard we end it up not getting any, super expensive for low quality dinner, after finish up we asked for the check and they made us wait to get it, we pay with a big bills and when we got our change back and we were very fine everything was correct and tip the server, she started asking for tip, plus then her back at us mad and whispering when we told her we were not gonna tip her. SUPER RUDE PLACE DO NOT RECOMMEND!

    I do NOT recommend this place. I paid $94 for 2 kids & 3 adults. the food was cold and tasted disgusting. The person at the counter by the front door stated the reason they are charging so much is because they were serving "hot dinner" all day which increases the prices to $12 a kid & $15 a person. I WILL NOT EVER GO BACK HERE. This was a waste of my time and money. The sweet tea tasted old as if they don't clean the filter for the dispensing machine. The sushi rolls tasted rotten as well.

    Wow. Absolutely garbage but super pricey. $18 for a weekday buffet ? Cold and tasteless food. Never ever.

    My waiter stood behind me while I ate the whole time. Gave me the check while I was still eating. 2 seconds later comes and looks at the check I didn't do yet because I was still eating and says well are you gunna tip me or what. Blown away I ignored her and kept eating she proceeded to stand at my table until I filled the check in and signed so gross and felt very uncomfortable.

    The atmosphere is nice and quiet but the food was very disappointing. Different variety but 1/2 of the food had been sitting and became dried out......
