Chinese Buffet

Oriental House delivers one of the most consistent Chinese buffet experiences in metro Atlanta. The spread covers the full spectrum — General Tso's, lo mein, fried rice, egg foo young, dim sum items, and a passable sushi bar. The kitchen turns over items frequently enough that nothing sits too long, and the crab legs on weekend evenings draw loyal crowds.

Sitting right on the corridor, New China Buffet benefits from a clientele that knows its Chinese food. The result is a buffet that skews more authentic than average — salt-and-pepper squid, steamed whole fish, and proper stir-fried greens alongside the American-Chinese staples. Weekend dim sum carts make appearances, and the variety is impressive for the price.

Happy China Buffet serves the Norcross end of the Asian dining corridor with a no-frills, high-turnover buffet. Classic American-Chinese dishes, a hibachi grill, sushi rolls, and a surprising number of Sichuan-style items when the kitchen is on. The value is hard to beat and the proximity to the rest of Buford Highway's Vietnamese and Korean options makes it an easy addition to a corridor food crawl.nnAtlanta's Chinese buffets tend to include a wider range of authentic items than the national average, reflecting the city's large and diverse Asian population along Buford Highway.
