A friend of mine was once banned from the local all you can eat Chinese buffet for "abusing the system". The same buffet will scold you for not finishing your plate, and they really get pissed if you tell them it's because their crab rangoons taste like windex.

all those weird little variety cakes/pastries like every chinese buffet has

the couple of feet of inexplicable macaroni and cheese and bad pizza and fried chicken in the chinese buffet

I'm helping!



The Chinese buffet by my place has a one-plate limit, so it becomes an All You Can Stack restaurant. I use buttresses of ginger beef to ensure the structural stability of my pile of noodles.

Also Chinese buffets are the only restaurant I will eat at alone, so much easier to just cram food into my throat.

I don't weigh my food so I don't really know how much that is but I usually eat one plate of dinner and one plate of dessert. Sometimes I get egg drop soup and crispy noodles.
I'm really lovely to take to a buffet because I don't eat my money's worth.

I don't stack, I don't usually like my food to touch.

dont really go to chinese buffets anymore since the good one closed down. at that one it was a "buffet" but if you were chinese theyd bring out fresh plates of food to you which was cool.

it was kinda whatever they just cooked and wanted to give you but it was usually good stuff

There was a really good Chinese buffet near my house but it closed down. Now the only one close is on the highway and once a homeless woman wouldn't let us leave the parking lot until we gave her money.

as an asian im equally confused by this phenomenon. i think like 20 chinese people come overseas in a shipping container and are trucked to the buffet and live inside it.

The MSG in Chinese food just kills it for me. I get really bad side effects like migraines, muscle spasms, nausea, I have had a seizure after eating Chinese once and heart irregularities. That poo poo damages your nervous system, Chinese food needs to be banned or the use of MSG.
