China Buffet Emporia, Ks

Well after a very full fall it is time to start a new year.  In the spirit of starting over I had my first meal out at a restaurant that is also starting over with an interior make over.  Hopefully there will be people who are willing to give it another chance in the new year, and based on the crowds on New Year's Day, I would say that it has a chance.

The China Buffet located on Industrial Road and Highway 50 in Emporia, Ks has undergone a little transformation.  The interior remodel inspired confidence in the quality and improvement in the food as well.  This is a typical buffet of Chinese food that offers a little bit for everyone.  Lunch price was $6.99 and the dinner price is $9.99.  The tables were sparkling (they are glitter infused Formica table tops) and clean.  The food was hot, fresh, and generally well seasoned.  

The nice part for families is that there is a selection of American cuisine for those picky eaters in your family.  There were chicken nuggets, fries, and even pizza available.  The buffet is well organized and grouped in ways that make sense and make it easy to find the food you are craving.  Highly recommend the Crab Rangoon, Garlic Chicken Dish, and the Cucumber Salad.  

The wait staff was pleasant, friendly and for the most part efficient.  Dirty plates were taken from the table quickly and politely.  Everyone who was working seemed to generally be smiling which indicates a good environment.

Overall, I would recommend that if you like Chinese buffets in general to give this one a shot or a second chance (as the case may be).  You might be surprised by what you find.
