About China City Buffet
International Chinese American Buffet
China City Buffet is a chinese restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. It is listed at 3650 S High St, Columbus, OH 43207, which places it among the local businesses of Columbus that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Google also lists it under buffet restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Columbus; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Ohio are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
Hours are published for 6 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 amβ9 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (614) 491-8877. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, chinacitybuffetcolumbus.com.
Its Google rating is 3.5 out of 5 from 1,327 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.

I work in the area. I attempted to go to this place twice. Both times their food looked like it's been there since lunch. The first time I didn't order because of the way it looks. So I thought , let me try again , so I went there today same thing , no options. Food looked like it's been there since lunch. The Health department should pay them a visit. The only thing I can say nice is the one young girl working there is a very nice young girl.

The food was mid⦠they had crab which was good. went on a Sunday around 5 ish. They gave my sister a dirty cup, had water and you could see stuff floating around in it.., so check your dishes⦠environment was nice and the waitress was nice⦠was also $98 for 5 people and 2 beverages. And yes if you tell them the food is stale they switch it out immediately with fresh food.

This place is fantastic! The food is absolutely delicious. It meets every expectation. They are always putting fresh food out and they gave some food that no other buffet has. Their peanut chicken is amazing! Their egg rolls and lo mein are the best I've ever had. The brocolli chicken and stuffed mushrooms are a favorite. The service is spectacular and the waitresses are so nice and friendly. The restaurant is so nicely decorated. I 100% recommend this place to everyone.

My family loves a good Chinese buffet. We used to visit this place pretty frequently prior to the pandemic. It has gone way down hill. When we arrived the parking lot was almost empty and sort of seemed abandoned. When we entered the place just looked rundown and unkempt. We were seated relatively quickly. Our drinks were served and we were off to make our plates. The food had been sitting there for quite a while. Food items were stuck to their trays and some things had gotten mushy and some too hard for consumption. The rice almost felt uncooked, but it had just been sitting out. Vegetables had gotten so soft and unpleasant to eat. We filled our plates with our favorite dishes and were immensely disappointed. Barely any cold dishes like crab salad. The lettuce was covered in ice, just very unappealing. And for 4 adults the total was $65. I paid cash and the server short changed me by $2. She said I was wrong when I asked for the rest of my change. She went to grab my total sheet and came back with the remainder of my change, instead. Unfortunately I didn't leave a tip.
