Sunny China Buffet — Restaurant in Urbana

It cost me and my family of 5 a little over $140.00 to eat there. $20 a person, plus drinks, plus a 15% gratuity automatically added for 5 people or more (it’s a buffet!!!! A 15% gratuity????) and to top the bill off $4.00 for a debit card fee.

Now that price isn’t really the horrible part, the horrible part is the food, I literally couldn’t find one main dish that was good, all of the food was so chewey and old tasting, the only thing notable was the crab Rangoon which when opened had zero sign of any crab, not even imitation crab! Nobody at the table was satisfied with the food or atmosphere, we could hear others talking about it negatively too, we watched one party walk out and another party go to the front door, read prices, and walk back to their car (they were lucky or smart!)

You couldn’t pay me to eat there again, between the food and prices it was a 1 star restaurant at best.

The owner I’m assuming was the older womsn there who was polite and smiling, but who wouldn’t smile watching everyone eat 1 star food and get 5 star prices to put in the bank.

They got me once, but never again.

You can’t see the buffet tables when you walk in, I suggest even if your bold enough to still go there after reading a true review!! Then at least peek around the corner to see the buffet before they seat you, you’ll know right away to leave if you have common sense …. See for...

While I understand to keep buffet costs down, they sometimes don't turn food over quickly .. Food can dry out etc. The ratio of patrons, is what typically causes replenishment

We arrived at six pm. There was one person eating We both tried fried rice, and various other items. Crab Rangoon, chicken

Nothing was edible ...tough, not warm to cold, and the majority of things very dried out and flavourless

I motioned for waitress...I expressed that the items were not appetizing, some not edible. I thought they would bring something fresh I said I could order to go, if they would make it fresh.

I was met with frustration bordering on anger as she demanded I pay for the drinks (not drank) and get out/go.

I paid 5$ for the two drinks and we left.

I can't imagine the difficulty of running a restaurant Let alone a buffet trying to keep it all fresh, warm, available But it certainly wasn't our fault for being disappointed. We made our complaint quietly and with respect. The fact we were willing to order fresh food, and instead were met with rudeness, abruptness and told to pay for our drinks and go, is why we won't be back

While they might have been having a bad day with their presentation/options/ freshness

How we were treated isn't...

The outside of this restaurant looks like a total dump because it is run down. The parking lot is old and needs repair. What is really strange the restaurant has only 5 parking spaces? That should be a clue about the restaurant in general. The service we got from the inside stinks. My girlfriend and I ordered carry out. The food looked dry in some of the food serving trays. The fried chicken and egg rolls were burnt, dry, hard, old and cold. Some of the serving trays had little to no food in them. There was hardly no one in the restaurant that evening. I guess the people in that area were smart. The two workers were rude, and they just stood around watched and followed us. They should have done their jobs by putting out fresh and hot food. I had to tell one of them off. I wish they would have done us a favor by throwing us out the restaurant with a full refund. When I got home the food was terrible the broccoli was bitter. The rest of the Chinese food was very greasy and tasteless. I would have been better off going next door of the restaurant to the gas station for a burger or hotdog and a cheap soda for dinner. I just can’t find a score low enough to give that place. We will never go near that place again even if the...
