My grandson chose China Inn for his birthday lunch. The food is very tasty and eye appealing. The peanut chicken and Mongolian beef are among my favorites. The buffet is smaller than most Chinese buffets but here it is quality instead of quantity. The restaurant itself is an older building and is reminiscent of old school cafeteria dining.

Nice people work here. Prices are fair. Most items are at the temperature they should be, and most items are very good. Of course there are odd items I'd never eat, but overall, they do an excellent job. Most buffets are awful. China Inn is well above average!

I ordered the chow mein for delivery. Tipped my driver very well. My soup is like water and my chow-mein has no noodles… The lady on the phone was rude and kept telling me chow mein doesn’t have noodles. I told her even on the menu it says noodles and everywhere I’ve ever ordered chow mein its noodles. It translates to noodles… So I have mushy onions and shrimp with snow peas in a white sauce… the egg drop soup is disappointing and I feel like it’s hard to mess up that. I was trying to be calm and nice and just let her know they didn’t put noodles and she didn’t offer even a partial refund or a free anything next time and didn’t tell me they would fix it. So I guess if you want noodle-less chow mein…. This spot can do that

The food was great! We got there around 2:30 or so in the afternoon and food was fresh! I was impressed. Service was great too. We didn't like the lemonade and they did not charge us for it. I recommend going here if you're hungry.

For years and years our family were die hard Yen Ching fans, until they recently came under new ownership. The food there is now inedible and we were devastated. No longer having a dedicated Chinese restaurant was dark times for us. However, by some kind of Christmas miracle we decided to give China Inn a chance, and thank goodness we did. We ordered take out, chicken fried rice, hot braised chicken, and a pork egg roll. Everything we ate was absolutely stellar. It’s so nice to have a new go to Chinese place again❤️
