    The food was very good. I particularly enjoyed their vegetable fried rice and green beans. They were both cooked very well. I was initially thinking about giving 4 star rating because the only issue I initially found was the crab rangoons were a little odd and undercooked. They were warm on the outside, cold on the inside. Definitely not food service safe.

    However I found some things that bothered me enough to knock of another star. First,  it is a personal pet peave of mine when buffets have tubs of ice cream for patrons to scoop from. They're unsanitary and gross. Desert options were nonexistent aside from the ice cream and nasty cakes you find at all Chinese buffets.

    What really set the 3 star review into stone were the bathrooms. No changing stations were present in either restroom. I had to change my baby on the counter, which was completely soaked with water. Because of this we will probably not return until our baby is potty trained.

    1 star only because  zero (0) is not available!!

    WARNING: The best thing Top China Buffet could do would be to close their doors, permanently! It was absolutely the worst food I've ever tried to eat. Water was served with no ice; not sure what that was about. All the foods looked gummy, looked more than a day old, things that should have been crisp were chewy and tough to bite, and there were children running all around the buffet items! The room was hot. The food was NOT! The very few things that I recognized as real food were cold, old, flavorless, including the soy sauce which tasted like cold coffee!! This place should not be open to the public! Definitely overpriced since it should not be sold at all! We did not eat the food on our plates, we paid, and we will never go there again!

    This is one of the worst restaurants I have been to in awhile. The food was horrible and taste funny like it's been sitting out all day and night, the waitress had a bad attitude like she didn't really want to serve us and sadly my family and I all got sick from eating there!! Don't go here u less u want a good dose of food poisoning!!!

    There wasn't much of a selection for a buffet. Only 3 buffet islands with the majority of the food as cold as the ice cream. My gf and I came here at a peak time I believe which was 12 aka lunch time and was unimpressed. My gf said however the moo goo gai pan was too die for....

    Food was good came into town needed to feed the family fast. Ate the buffet was very cheap for a family of 6. But the Resturant wasn't the cleanest bathrooms were disgusting. And it needed to be updated badly. Gave 3 stars because of the food
