About China E Buffet
Located at 130 W Palm Valley Blvd, Round Rock, TX 78664, China E Buffet operates as a chinese restaurant serving Round Rock in Texas. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as buffet restaurant, restaurant, seafood restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Round Rock; 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 Texas 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.
Hours are published for 2 days a week. Typical hours are 11 AMβ9 PM. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

Its website is chinaebuffet.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

The booth felt greasy. The server acted like we where a nuisance. The American food was better than the Asian food. But my mom liked it. And that is the only reason I gave a 3 star instead of a 2 star.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. This was one of the worst dining experiences Iβve ever had. My family and I were never served water or drinks unless we went looking for the staff ourselves. We repeatedly had to get up and find someone because no one was checking on our table. When we finally got service, the staff acted annoyed and rude. They were talking about us to their coworkers in another language and making it obvious that they did not want to help. Their attitude was completely unprofessional. To top it all off, they charged us a $20 tip despite providing terrible service. I gladly tip when service is good, but forcing a tip after treating customers this way is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

Iβm not usually a fan of Chinese food, but my husband loves it, so weβve tried quite a few places over the years. Out of all of them, China E Buffet in Round Rock has become my absolute favorite! Even though Iβm picky when it comes to Chinese food, I always enjoy eating here. Their chicken tenders and French fries are my go-to favorites, and theyβre always fresh, hot, and delicious. When it comes to the buffet, the fried rice, teriyaki chicken, and hot & spicy chicken are the dishes I keep coming back for. I also love their pink lemonadeβitβs so good! One thing I donβt particularly like is that they sometimes bring the check to the table while weβre still eating, usually when weβre only on our second plate. It can feel a little rushed and uncomfortable. However, that small issue doesnβt take away from the overall experience. The food is consistently fresh, the buffet is well-stocked, and everything tastes great. If youβre looking for a Chinese buffet in Round Rock, I highly recommend giving China E Buffet a try!

I recently had a fantastic experience at this buffet! The variety is incredible, but what really stood out was the freshness and flavor of the seafood. The cooked shrimp were plump and tasty, the breaded shrimp were nice and crispy, and they had a wonderful crab salad. Beyond the seafood, they have a great selection of meats and sides. The roasted pork was tender and flavorful, and they offer favorites like broccoli, corn on the cob, and even some delicious plantains. Everything I tried was well-prepared and delicious. The overall atmosphere is casual, the staff is friendly, and it's a great value for the amount and quality of food you get. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a great buffet experience!

Great hot and sour soup, good egg rolls. Wasn't too fond of the Kung pao chicken. It was $38/2 adult lunch plates and 2 drinks. The dessert bar had peanut brittle! Since when do Chinese food places make peanut brittle?! And had almond cookies. Wouldn't write home about any of the other desserts. I love chow mein but couldn't bring myself to eat any due to the color of it. Looked like spaghetti. Not sure what makes it look that way but I decided to skip it. My daughter liked the sushi bar.
