“ Not too many options but the food is pretty good. They bring out smaller quantities to refill food so the food is always fresh even if you come close to closing. Crab rangoons, egg rolls, soup, and honey chicken were my favorite. Fried shrimp for dinner is really good also. Service is always very attentive and friendly! ”

“ They're having okay Chinese food but the price I was paying for I don't think it's worth it but the waiter she was very helpful and just keep coming back to checkout us on the water. And do we need any thing. ”

“ Myself and 3 hungry boys loved this place. The food is not as salty as normal Chinese food. It was very good. Meats were tender. I was very happy that foods were covered when we showed up. This will be a tradition for us after fishing in the future. And very friendly service. ”

“ Been here many times, 3 yrs ago and now this summer. Pretty much the only buffet in the area. Food is ok nothing special, they bring out smaller quantities to help things be fresh. It's just not exciting... Smaller selection of the basics. They really need to add a few things and spruce the place up a bit. Service was good and place was clean. Ill return I'm sure. Just wish a bit more options. ”

“ My wife and I have eaten at the China Sea Restaurant many times. We always get the buffet, and the food is normally very good for Chinese food in Alaska. I will admit that the buffet is not always stocked to capacity, but given the population in this area, the food would get a little old just sitting there. It's nice to have fresh food brought out as the portions get less. Plus, how much food can you eat? No need to fill your plate, not eat everything, then have it thrown in the trash. The waitress is very kind and attentive. Prices are a little higher than we would like, but everything in town is sky high. ”

“ I love the environment of the place, It has your basic assortment of Asian food (orange chicken, fried rice, broccoli beef) they do have some sushi rolls they put out that are pretty good. And has a cute little soft serve ice cream machine. Honestly a pretty decent place, worth the cash. ”

“ I've been dinning here since I was a child and have never had a bad experience its always consistent ”

“ Love their food, but certain employees are much more accommodating than Others. You can buy the buffet to go and when I go closer to closing time. The son of the owners (believe that's who it is) will actually ask what dishes they may be low on and they will whip out whatever u desire (granted its a dish from the buffet tables) to replenish the buffet for your to-go box. The blonde waitress did not do this so I was definitely a little disappointed about this. But the food I was able to get was still up-to par with what I've come to expect from this place. This is the only place on the Kenai Peninsula that I would even recommend to get your Chinese food from period. ”
