Chinatown Cafe

This place use to be amazing. They are now under new ownership and the food selection shows it. We will not be coming back until changes are made. The service however was still great, they do what they can with what they have.

We used to love coming here but had lunch there today and the food looked like it had been sitting for a long time. There was what looked like “film” over the food, certain foods were cold and the fried rice had clumps of uncooked rice. I got chocolate pudding and bit into a metal piece. For $60 for 3 people it was absolutely not worth it. Will never go back.

Chinatown Cafe at 2317 W University Dr #125, Denton, TX 76201 First thing you want to know is this restaurant has rewards program. So make sure you get your rewards card and get it stamped every time you eat here. Now to me this is a typical Chinese buffet that caters to a lot of different tasty🍛🍲🍤🥡🍚🍱🥠🍟 items for lunch especially. I was able to eat corn dog and fries somedays. Typically the food is very good, hot, fresh and ready to eat at 11:00 a.m. I do want to give out to shout out to my server 👨‍💼 I always sit in the front right and this guy is always very attentive and focused on details when he's serving the customers. Next time I got to get to know his name better. I would definitely recommend eating here anytime you're craving some delicious Chinese food with extra 😉

Went on a Saturday evening for dinner for 3 in the coldest part of the year. The restaurant was freezing- could not get comfortable- had to keep jackets on. I know it’s probably expensive to heat that huge restaurant. The waitress was great. FOOD WAS AWFUL- out of a lot of things (maybe because the freeze has slowed down everyone’s restocks) - a lot of old food that looked & tasted like it had just been sitting there for hour's, was very bland, desserts that used to be plentiful were seriously lacking. For the price it was a serious bummer. Very obvious that’s the management changed. The best part of the experience was the big beautiful ZZ plants in the front. That’s it.

As far as buffets go- in my opinion- this is one of the better ones. Food is flavorful. Good variety: soup, salad bar- fruit- fresh food cook to your order. Friendly staff & place is clean. Off of university in Denton. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.
