China House Buffet in Shamokin

Good food depending on your timing if your early it's never hot and seems to not be as fresh as when it's busy!

Great food and great place to come and enjoy Chinese food. Staff might seen grumpy but that's normal.

My friend and I walked in because someone recomended it to us. We are from out of town. We spent maybe 10 minutes in there. The food was completely cold and all around poor. Even tho we didn’t eat anything they still insisted we pay for it. Will definitely actively tell people not to stop by.

Good food and plenty to choose from. If you go away hungry it is your own fault.

Best buffet in our area. Lunch buffet is a great deal. My girlfriend will always pick this resturant when given the choice.

Very good place to eat great food and excellent service

I was very disappointed this Time. First we were seated all the staff was doing was watching you eat.poor service.cold onion rings.very rude . instead of asking a customer nicely to please move. They said just move!Food was good but not exceptional.the steak was underdone and rubbery this time.my friend wrote on the receipt. About how she did not like them watching her eat.and staff was pointing and laughing at us.

the food is great and so is the service

Experience was nice but the food could of been a little better.

Very disappointed. So much was not hot. Lomein and egg rolls were not edible.

Food very good for a buffet. Mostly meat dishes, very few veggie plates. Plenty of canned fruit. Veggie sushi was very good. Service was fast.

I frequent a lot of Chinese spots in my travels and in my travels it is hard to get my hibachi order made the way I like it... and although they may not have all the other things i may desire on a buffet or menu, they make up for it on the hibachi ! When i stopped today i was unsure how it was going to turn out, as my normal "guy on the grill" wasn't present? In his place was a sweet older oriental woman. I placed my normal order, after I collected my portions of shirmp,green peppers,mushrooms,pineapples,baby corns,2 eggs and low main noodles, prepared in butter, garlic, teriyaki, hot pepper chilli oil ... May not be for everyone, but that's what hits for me , and the Magical woman prepared it as good as it can be made to my liking, and so do 2 other chefs I have come to here over last 10 yrs and they never disappoint me on the grill !

It's the best Chinese PLACE TO EAT

Ww had an amazing young waiter very attentive and served us with a smile was very kind . The food was excellent. We were very pleased ! Thank you China Buffet .

We always enjoy our meals there. We miss the guy that did the hibachi. He always made our meals delicious. The lady not so good.

Despite others bad review, I tried to come here and I really surprised that this rest is so good, reasonable price with good quality food, I been here on lunch time, but food supply is always good, food also warm, sushi is good, the desserts are good, I would really recommend this place, they have a good variety of food, waiter also kind and fast to clean your table 👍

The food is average chinese buffet food. They have the hibachi grill but I don't personally bother with it so I can't give a review on it. Service is usually decent when we go for dinner. We went today for the lunch buffet and the place was pretty empty. It took awhile to bring our drinks (2 waters and 2 cups of juice) they only brought one juice and I had to ask for a second one. Not a big deal. Our server came back once to get empty plates, and then he didn't come around again until he brought the check. I ate 2 plates of food without a drink so I told my girlfriend I wasn't leaving a tip since he didn't do anything. Apparently he didn't like that and he was rude to my girlfriend as I was leaving with the kids. She gave him some choice words after he shoved the change tray at her. Tips are earned and I like to tip generously, but if you can't refill my water don't just expect me to give you my money.

Buffet had a great blend of both American (steak, ham, pizza, etc) and Oriental. Several serving areas so you never had to wait to refill your plate. Wait staff was attentive and quick. Will visit there often.

Not bad, just your typical buffet. Prices are good.

Food was good. Service was ok. It is a buffet though. But then our "server" says "no more tip for me". It is a buffet dinner and he got 2 cups of coffee and a tea.

Great food the spread is amazing with different varieties and the price is affordable and the decor feels like your in a comfy peaceful environment

Absolutely fantastic food, service, everything! This is a great place for everyone to go e and eat so much food as a family

Food is good sometimes depending on what time you go service not the greatest lately

Love the price and hibachi that's about it! Service sucks always wait for drinks but ooooooo the food!

Best Chinese buffet. The bathroom needs some improvement.

Good smooth and not salty chinese food like most places. Good place for dinner. Only thing I can say is more seafood.

Great service and good food will recommend 2any1 who likes a great buffet ❣

Great food at an affordable price. All are very friendly too.

Is okay I guess. Nothing notable or exceptional. I've never gotten food poisoning or diarrhea after eating here so that's a plus.Please click LIKE 👍 if you found this review helpful. Thank You!

We went to China house for Valentine's day dinner. The staff were super. They were quick and did a great job for being a packed full building. The food was all fresh and kept full. Great overall experience.

We come here a lot. We enjoy it. I like trying to make small talk with the wait staff. It's funny. Tip well because I think they are here against their will.

Don't hate it, just watch the time of day any the food, look it over good. I picked out items that may have been out on the buffet for awhile, be careful, this is 2nd time I've gotten extremely sick.

Great selection of food American and Chinese restaurant is decently clean

Not bad prices, but they charge $4 for a drink with free refills, but they never get you refills, so your just stuck with your empty cup. Even if you ask for a refill they say ok 1 second and never come back. Decent food, sometimes cold and undercooked, but it's alright most of the time.

Not like it used to be. Was here for lunch and all the food was just luke warm. The peanut butter topping for the ice cream was dark brown and gritty. I was VERY dissatisfied with everything I tried.

Great food, very friendly staff. They we're on top of things. Grabbed empty plates and refilled drinks quickly without being asked. Definitely my only favorite Chinese restaurant around here.

Food is hard and can tell not made fresh like it was leftovers waiters and waitresses hover around your table waiting for you to pay rudely reaching over you while eating soda tastes like an old sock and act like whatever tip you leave is never enough more than likely not to return

Good food! Good prices! Place needs some deep cleaning or renovation.

The variety is great and so is the food. Although, the workers are not the greatest, as they sneakily speak badly about the customers in front of them. Additionally, the staff will pan handle for tips. For example, the "waiter" cleaning off the plates and topping the drinks off expected more of a tip and confronted me for more. Additionally, the hibachi chef expected the same treatment for every plate requested. Overall, the staff will need to learn customer service from the newly installed buffet in Coal Township before I return here and to stop pan handling for more money for minimum work, when a soda machine can be installed for their "Job".

Excellent variety of American and Chinese cuisine. Food was hot and service was fast and friendly

Nice place. Lots of food options. Pleasant environment. Good service

Go in the evening and weekend, food is fresher and plentiful. Habachi grill is great for freshly cooked food. Decor is predicable. Inexpensive.

Lovely place. The food is delicious and the staff are amazing. I went here for new years eve 4 years in a row. I love this place and I always want to eat here.

The selection of food was pretty good but only the rice was hot/warm. Everything else had such a low temperature that I couldn't eat anymore. This place normally kills it but this time was just so-so

Food always seems decent. Usually go around 12 noon for the buffet. Always leave filled and the price is fair to. They have bathrooms, plenty of parking and easy access. The lack of communication is my only pet peeve.

Very irritated right now. Just went to eat here for our Valentines Day Dinner because we are busy tomorrow. DO NOT EAT HERE AFTER 7:30 P.M. They are open until 9:30 p.m. but they don't bring food out after 7:30. So there was little to no food left, only the things most people don't like to eat. So here we are still hungry and down $30. WORST VALENTINES DAY MEAL EVER!!

Absolutely delicious. Very friendly

The selection is fairly good here. The staff seemed friendly. Only one refill on our drink. Expecting a tip for more than a few dollars at a buffet is pretty lame. They brought the drink and took our plate. That’s all. As the restaurant goes, it is probably the best Chinese place in the area.

Honestly very average. The food was average and the service was average.The decor was nice and the dim lighting made for a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately nothing really made this place stand out from any other Chinese buffet.

I like the food and the atmosphere. The waitstaff is also great.
