China Taste — Restaurant in Globe

Have you ever had food so bad that eating it made you feel a little worse about your life? China Taste Buffet is, without a doubt, a restaurant that will invoke those feelings almost every time..

I'd like to start out by saying that my expectations of Chinese food at buffets aren't really high. Really, I know that most of the time, the food at these places barely even qualifies as "Chinese". Even so, I was pretty impressed by just how bad the food is here. The majority of it is flavorless, oddly colored, lumpy mush made for people who might find Panda Express too exotic.

Even so, it's one of your few options in Globe if you want to go out for a meal that involves white rice, which nets it a star. Also, I'd recommend going in for lunch instead of dinner - the food tends to be (slightly) fresher and more plentiful.

On a bright note however, they do a pretty decent job at dessert. There's a decent selection of ice creams and other stuff, so I guess you can always fill up on sweets if the buffet proper...

This used to be one of the best places to go for something other than Mexican. Decore hasnt been updated in 20+ years, and it shows. $21 a person is incredibly overpriced for the quality that we saw tonight. Coconut shrimp was too dark, like the oil hasn't been changed recently. The honey walnut (?) had a sauce so thick it was like the pudding on the desert line. Had a bizarre flavor. Soups were bland. Egg drop tasted like a thickened version of the wonton broth. Hubby reported several of the dishes he tried were cold. Beef and broccoli was definitely barely warm, though it tasted good. Same with the rice noodles that had just barely been put out. It's like everything was microwaved, half stirred and thrown out onto the line. The sodas all tasted like diet or zero (sucralose after taste) and hubby's last glass was thick. Sad to say, but I think they should've stayed closed. We're both queasy upon...

Breaded chicken meals are absolutely ridiculous. I guarantee there's five times as much breading as there is chicken. Sauce flavors are good but I cannot eat a pile of fried dough for dinner and the dough does not taste good at all, in fact it's mostly flavorless but a little sweet which is weird. I would bet money there is not a quarter pound of chicken in this entire meal. Literally ping pong ball sized pieces but good luck finding ANY chicken inside. I was so excited for them to reopen but this is very disappointing. I will never order anything breaded from there again! My friend went ahead and ate his meal of fried dough and then was sick for a few hours until he vomited. I would like to add a picture of all the dough balls I cut in half and then disposed of but it...
