China Buffet

Olathe Open 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM 3.9 (8) 2030 E Santa Fe St, Olathe, KS 66062

About this place

China Buffet sits on E Santa Fe Street in Olathe, Kansas, running a full Chinese buffet operation that has built a devoted local following, with regulars visiting often enough that staff know their usual orders.

Beyond the standard buffet lineup, less common items like pineapple chicken and parsley chicken stand out from the crowd, alongside noodles, shrimp, potstickers, bacon-wrapped shrimp, and crayfish on rotation. A small sushi selection rounds out the spread, and the ice cream bar at the end gives diners a reason to save room for dessert.

The dining room stays clean and the buffet trays get refreshed constantly, keeping the food hot even during busy stretches. It works well for a family dinner or a big group looking for variety, with fast, attentive table service throughout.

Old buiding, but Clean. Nice flavors for a decent buffet price

Our server was great! Beverages always full. Pretty much all Chinese buffets are the same set up and it comes down to how clean the place is kept and fresh food. This place is ahead of the game. Not saying it's great because it's not but they do better than most.

This place was great! Large food selection (7 different sections) and all very good. I LOVE Chinese food and was very happy with this place. The people were very nice and it was well kept. Bathrooms were fine, too. I'm definitely eating here again for sure. Also, it was CHEAP! $9.99 for an adult buffet on a Thursday night. I wasn't sure how it'd be due to cost, but excellent! I saw a couple of mixed reviews and I'm not sure how anyone would rate this less than 4-5 stars, honestly. I'll probably take my family here again tomorrow night. Oh yeah, it has a Mongolian BBQ as well, again, all for $9.99. Can't beat that.

I was pleasantly surprised with the 3 PM service here. Lots of fresh hot food and the self serve ice cream was good. Waitress was prompt and friendly. Seemed fairly clean. SADLY no Mongolian while we were there :(

Very cozy and food was amazing. Usually in these buffets you get full super quick because of the nature of the food, but I could eat plenty here

Best Chinese buffet I've been to, crab rangoon was fresh and super tasty. Loved the coconut shrimp too and the crab. Prices are decently priced at $15.00 per person for dinner, and $12.00 for lunch. Definitely will come here again!

I stopped by here expecting a good variety, but it was pretty disappointing. The food selection was quite limited, and a lot of the items had been sitting out for too long. It’s hard to justify the price when the quality just isn't there, and I ended up leaving feeling pretty underwhelmed. I think there are definitely better spots in the city if you're really craving Chinese food.
