About China Buffet

The business is registered at 816 E 5th St, Dayton, OH 45402; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Dayton; 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.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 10:30 am–9:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (937) 223-3868. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.
With 3.7 out of 5 on Google from 892 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for chinese restaurants in Dayton. Recent reviews are the best guide.
Dayton is in Ohio, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. Traffic in Dayton peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then.

Kid at the counter was wonderful. Sadly, the buffet left me desperately wishing I had done fresh carryout. The fried zucchini was far overcooked, hard on one side, and the zucchini itself was unseasoned and bland. None of the shrimp were deceived, so plenty of shrimp bowel matter and the egg roll was gummy and rubbery. The sweet and sour chicken was also rock hard, overcooked, and dry inside. Next time I will avoid the dinner buffet and try the carryout, though the food needs much more seasoning and flavor. I had to throw must of it out. :( Kudos to the guy at the desk for his excellent service though.

DO NOT EAT HERE! Food was both overcooked and undercooked somehow. The carpets haven’t been cleaned probably ever. It smelled like literal pee in the place. The pork egg roll was GREY, and the “fried rice” had hair in it and the peas in it that were so hard, IT CRACKED MY MOLAR! Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. Calling the health department as I’m typing this!

Tasted good, but couldn't get past the lack of options. No dumplings, no garlic chicken, missing so much that every other Chinese buffet has. Wanted a tip, but we had to seat ourselves and get our own drinks and refills.... No interaction with staff other than to pay.

My food was completely over cooked or maybe just sat out way too long. Rice hard, pizza hard, broccoli no flavor just taste mostly burned, sweet cakes hard as a rock, Mac no flavor, chicken was probably the only decent thing I got on my to go box. I wasted 14.95 & the long distance travel due to the fact the the buffet that was close to me was closed down & I wanted the food so bad I looked at the reviews before I came and remembered as a child it was good this is extremely bad I am hungry and was really wanting this food :( & can’t finish it cause it’s all hard, over cooked or no flavor

It's not the fanciest place but the food is good. Especially the bourbon chicken and the glazed shrimp. The staff is top tier. They are amazingly sweet, so kind to my daughter and they really care
