Lee's China Buffet — Restaurant in Ozark

First time ordering from here to take advantage of a Door Dash discount.

I ordered the Sesame Chicken with Vegetable Lo Mein and the Sweet and Sour Chicken. I didn't know it would come with egg rolls (I presume 1 per entree) so that was nice, and there was a box of rice I can only presume came with the latter entree. The Door Dash menu made no mention of the white rice or the egg rolls.

I was expecting the Sesame Chicken to be nice and crunchy, but it was the complete opposite of that. Not even the time of the drive over for the delivery could have caused that, so very disappointing. Even the non-wet Sweet and Sour Chicken was not that crunchy. Perhaps my air fryer can fix that? The noodles tasted like cheap noodles and oil. Egg rolls and the sweet and sour sauce were just alright.

If you can't already tell, the food is all oil, tons of glutenous breading, and sugar. The meat is hiding somewhere in that breading... somewhere.

Like you'd expect from any Chinese buffet, they prioritize quantity over quality. Eat here if your intentions are to overstuff your belly and make yourself sick. Perhaps dining in at the Hibachi would...

Not a good experience. Came in at dinner time. The only sea food were some really bad shrimp, all soggy and squishy, texture like biting into a chewed up shrimp that was shoved back in the shell. That was both on the skewer and the only other regular one. I think they had one kind of fish. I’ve had Chinese were more sea food was served at lunch. No one came for drink refills until the very end when we were about to leave. And then she poured me the tea not like I had requested. Payed $30 for 2, and it was awful. Would have been better off going to Little Caesar’s across the street and grabbing a $5 pizza. Way better taste and save a ton of money. Normally I love Chinese food. This was a huge disappointment. Quite possibly the worst...

It used to be such a nice place, but they really need an upgrade and more variety... They only use two of their three buffet bars, and the place looks dead most of the time. It's not how I remembered it being several years ago... Some of their food is still the same, the house special is still one of my favorites. But when I came here most of the food was lukewarm, broccoli was undercooked (basically raw) and the imitation crab meat was very plain, I could keep going...

Would I go here again? Maybe. It's obvious they need the business and I used to love this place so much, but they really ought to paint and repair the exterior so it looks more upkept and inviting, and focus on the quality, cooking and taste...
