I’ve been going to China Buffet since I arrived in Austin in 1990. It has gone through several incarnations of good/mediochre/bad over the years. After a break of several years (The last visit being horrible) we decided to give it a try. At first, pulling up in the parking lot, we were a bit worred because there weren’t many cars. We ventured bravely forth, to the interor, which still had the same furniture from my first visit. There were few ppl, and the cashier told us where to sit, and a waitperson came and took our drink order, then we were off to the buffet. The selection was good, and after trying a bite of sesame chicken, we was pleased to find that the food was back to being good. Not great, but this is a buffet. The flavors were standard Asian, good and solid. The garlic shrimp were outstanding, excellent seasoning and very fresh. We wondered about the price, since we didn’t bother to check before we sat down. Approaching the cashier, we braced ourselves for sticker shock, and was relieved to find out that it was still only $7.95, a far cry from the last buffet we were at, which charged over ten. All in all, an inexpensive place to get a good meal.
