Wide variety of flavors and different types of food
From sweet and sour pork and chow mein noodles to classics like dumplings and minced-pork, Chinese food is a reflection of the highly diverse culinary culture that has developed and thrived in China.
Globally, Chinese food is one of the most popular cuisines… and for a good reason! Dishes often combine bases such as tasty rice and noodles with flavorsome cuts of meat, fresh beans, and bright vegetables. Dumplings (either steamed or boiled), are filled with a wide variety of fillings: it’s entirely up to you which type to choose. Remember, we’re talking about an open buffet, so why not try them all?
Seafood is another particularly tasty component of Chinese cuisine (and always a winner at an All-You-Can-Eat Chinese buffet). Juicy fish and shrimp are great bets for one of your many entrées, while crab legs and more traditionally expensive seafood are also included in the one-off fee. With all of this in mind, it quickly becomes apparent how an All-You-Can-Eat buffet experience can provide such great value.
Just make sure to leave some room for the Peking duck! Typically roasted in a hot oven under syrupy honey glaze, it’s the ultimate in Chinese cuisine.

A cost-effective and budget-friendly option
With the sheer variety of food on offer at a Chinese buffet, you might be surprised at how affordable an evening spent there is. Paying a one-off fee (which covers any and all available food you can eat) never fails to create a fun and affordable meal/experience that you’ll want to enjoy again and again.
Prices vary between $10 and $30 per head (averaging out at around $20 for most All-You-Can-Eat buffets), and for that price, you’re set for the night. Stuffy old culinary ideas about particular flavor combinations and minimalist plate dressings fly out the window, with only one rule remaining: if it fits on the plate, it’s fair game! Oh, and if it doesn’t fit on the plate, there’s always seconds… and thirds.
