China House, Ozark MO

This is an amazing bang for your buck. A locals hidden gem. Fresh, affordable and athletic. $10.00 gives you enough portions fir the whole day. For those who are just passing through!

The waitress, hostess, busser needs help she is doing it all by herself. She is pleasant and does a good job but she is run ragged. Food is hot n fresh and tastes good.

This place used to be my favorite place to go to but that was before the new owners. Very diry on the inside, the floors are almost always gross. Might be why they're drive through only, whatever better that you don't see right? They've been getting greedy with their food too, before this if you ordered a large rice they would fill a whole to-go box but now they only fill half the box. I tried calling them out on that and they had the nerve to tell me this is what they've always done.

China house is real clean. All of their food on the buffet is really good, I liked the spicy shrimp myself. The staff was real nice as well.

The good:
Price,
Selection,
Excellent service (although they could use more help, and had a hiring sign),
Food is a good value.

Not so good:
The facility is aging, and is in need of maintenance.

Do not like the buffet at all but the drive through food is the best around. We love going here!

This is probably my favorite buffet! Staff is always super friendly! Even now, when there is only the 1 server and the place is packed, she was so nice! On top of that she was doing a stellar job keeping up on drinks, register, bussing tables & seating/greeting the guests! Give that young lady a raise! The food is hot & fresh & the price is more than reasonable! Love this place!

Barely any food, food that was there was cold and old. Sat for 45 minutes to wait fir fresh food and it never came. Will never go back here again!

Where to start. This is easily the best Chinese buffet in 20 miles. Don’t even bother going all the way to Springfield for Chinese, you got all that you need right here. The food is usually fresh or at least they will get fresh food out if you just ask them. The buffet is less than $10 and always fills me up. My friends and I have been coming here for years, and I just want to say that the people are incredibly nice and the food is great, not to mention it’s endless. It may look small and dinky, but it is an absolute joy to eat here. Plus, it’s run by the same like 4 workers, so you know you’ll always get the same experience. Never a bad one! Seriously, take your family here especially if you are hungry and don’t want to spend tons of money. This is the place to take a hungry teenager and I feel this place was a key aspect in my high school journey. So many memories. Thank you for all that you do China House staff.

A little family owned Restaurant with good food and good service. A good selection for a small restaurant too.

Great place to eat! We asked a local where the best Chinese buffet is in Ozark. And this is what they told us. It's way better than our home town buffet. We will return. Thank You!

This is one of the first places I’ve been able to serve myself at the buffet since the pandemic and all of the food was delicious and the service was great! Will definitely be returning.

We arrived at China House about 7 pm. The line was empty, so we thought they would bri g outmore food, Wrong. Don't waste your
Time.and money. The waitress keep asking me what wrong. I told her there's no food out, so they bring out chicken nuggets.

We only order to go because the food on the buffet is almost always old. I ordered bourbon chicken and specifically said to make it fresh. I am willing to wait the extra 30 min it takes. They told me “Sure, sure! ” they would make it fresh. Got my food 30 min later and it was NOT fresh off the grill. It was hard and inedible. They gave me the nasty food from the buffet. I waited the extra time for nothing and they thought I wouldn’t notice? SO frustrating.

The food was outstanding. The same basic fare as expected, but the best of all the Chinese buffets in the area.

Luckily the food was slightly better than the condition of the bathroom. I literally about walked out after washing my hands. One can only hope the kitchen isn't in the same shape. Thought about going back in to take a picture but once was more than enough. Won't be back.

I went in to order wonton soup and was sent home with noodle soup. No wontons at all.
Disappointed.

Wasn't very good some of the food was cold and they were out of ice tea as soon as they were open. So I won't be going back there to eat.

Food wasn't bad there just wasn't very much of it. Service was nice. Restaurant was semi clean
