China Buffet — Restaurant in Antigo

Someone has turned this place around as of 2022! The food they serve today is very good and they have managed to keep their prices as reasonable as any other restaurant, the service is friendly and fast, and it's busier than ever which is nice. The restaurant itself is still a bit drab in terms of décor, but the food is definitely worth it. If you're local and have given up on getting good Chinese food in town, give Antigo's China Buffet another go. If you're just passing through, I think you'll find this hot, ready-to-go buffet is a nice alternative to fast food.

Edit: Hours differ from what Google states. Current hours as of 4/22 are 11am-8pm Mon and Wed-Sun. They are closed Tuesdays

One Star review from 3 years ago: I am afraid this restaurant fails in every aspect of food industry. The food isn't good, in fact it isn't even average: it's definitely below average, and we've tried a good portion of the menu hoping to find something they could prepare that was worthwhile. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is unappealing with old convention hall-type tables and chairs with uneven legs, and there is no attempt at decorating. The carpeting is worn and dirty, and the bathrooms are rundown and unkempt. It's like a ghost town even at lunch time. I've found the staff to be grouchy and unfriendly. I'm rooting for someone to turn this place around because we need a good Chinese...

Where do I start? China Buffet is easily some of the best eats around. You say it's not authentic-- I say how dare you. China Buffet is delicious. The food is incredible: it can satisfy any hunger, quench any thirst, stop a baby from crying, end world hunger, save the environment, and make world peace from just one bite of general tsao's chicken. And that's only the beginning. I tend to gravitate toward general tsao's flanked with some lo mein as my first dish, which is often succeeded by a dish of sweet and sour chicken also companioned with a heap of lo mein. At this point I can feel my stomach screaming for more, so I comfort it with some egg drop soup, as to say, "don't worry stomach, more is on the way". After half time, the possibilities are endless. Chicken, lo mein, more chicken, pizza, eggrolls, french fries, chow mein, potato slices, etc. And for the final 3(ish) courses or so, I may indulge in some doughnut balls, strawberry ice cream, tapioca pudding, grapes and some other chinese classics. But who's to say it ends there? Of my 19 years of life on earth, I've never found more satisfaction than the creamy tapioca and the tangy general tsao's chicken combining for some absolute money. This place belongs in the heart of China, so if you get a chance to stop by, you're saving yourself 500 bucks from the airplane ticket. To general...

Very disappointed. This place sucks. food is cold, greasy and everything tasted the same. I give 0 stars for this place. So yes I would say I have to agree with Andrea Johnson. We have been going here for the past few years but the last 2 times we went the food was cold and nothing to taste. Everything tasted old like it's been sitting out all day. Staff were not friendly or caring at all. I went to use the restroom and my boyfriend was at the table when staff came to get the plate and the lady asked "How is everything?" My boyfriend replied " were kind of disappointed because everything is cold and my girlfriend is upset." When I came back to the table the lady came up to me and said "we have a microwave so if you need to heat your food up you can do so." First of all it's a restaurant I shouldn't have to heat up my damn food!. Terrible customer service & Terrible food!...
