There seems to be 2 opinions of who owns this place - the people from the buffet on 466 or the people that are on 466a at the takeout place?

Since the China Buffet on 466A has the sign in their window saying it's open I'd say it's theirs.

I recognized an owner from China Gourmet on 466a at Evergreen today so I am assuming it is that one. I agree that the servers bow too much. Ours kept saying, Melly Clispmas Honey! Once would have been enough!

The place was very clean but it is new! Time will tell! The food was ok and plentiful but not as many choices as I'm accustomed to, definitely not $13.25 worth! I asked about crab legs and was told they would not be on the buffet but I could buy a pound for $5. I don't think that was correct as you can't buy a pound of crab legs anywhere for $5.

Guess they are off my dining list.

Coupon for 20% off total bill, excluding alcohol, on page C7, Local section, of today's Sun, 12/26.

13.25 does seems expensive for a Chinese buffet...the coupon makes the cost more reasonable. Will have to give it a try. The place in Colony was our go to for quick, cheap, and tasty Chinese takeout, but, we felt the quality of the food had gone downhill in the last few years. We will see if Evergreen does better.

Hope they are successful....

Impromptu Christmas eve dinner. We thought it was very good, very good food, nice décor and extremely polite and courteous servers. I felt I got my 13 bucks worth and will certainly return, next time for lunch. We are very close so we'll be a regular. Trips on and above 466 are getting old.

The food is delicious, especially the pick-your-own ingredients that then get cooked for you on the grill. After one lunch and one dinner, this has moved to the top of our Chinese restaurant list.

They are going to make a special offer on their grand opening date, Jan 16, 2014, buy one buffet and get 2nd one 50% off. Plus you can find 20% off coupons in Thursday Daily Sun Next week.

Do they (or will they) offer MSG-free food? I have blood pressure that is a little high and MSG makes it go quite high.

We tried it the other night. The food was OK. Typical for a buffet. Not in any hurry to go back.

We ate there last week for dinner. Save your money. Food was just so-so.

This thread prompted us to get the 20% off coupon in today's newspaper and head for Evergreen.

Lots of food, good variety, super nice staff and decent pricing, BUT, although edible, it was nothing special. We wouldn't hurry back. Just a little south of so - so. Really quite blah.

If you've ever been to a Lin's Chinese Buffet in Texas (there are several) you'd know why we were disappointed. I wish them luck and we'll keep an eye on the reviews.

Went tonight around 6:15 and they were very crowded. If you like the food at Colony, you will probably like this place. I find it to be very tasteless. Couldn't get the food cooked at the hibachi since no one was behind the counter. Later I saw a line waiting to get food cooked. Many trays were empty, both in the entrée and dessert areas. Several flavors of ice cream but no toppings. Still looking for a good place for Chinese carry-out but with no luck.

I would rate it 5 out of 10.

It's a expensive for what you get .... there is quantity with some quality! Evergreen provides a wide variety of food. Lunch opens at 11 am and everything is fresh.
