China Bear Restaurant

We went for a dinner buffet. It was horrible. There were flies on the sushi, fruits, & sauces. You can clearly see that the food had been there longer than it should have. There was food that had a sour taste to it that shouldn't have. Nothing tasted right there including the sweet tea. The place needs to be cleaned. When you walk in there is a smell of issues with the plumbing. The food that was supposed to be cold wasn't. There was poor quality of food. The place needs to be cleaned. We never want to go back. It is very disappointing to pay for food that should have been thrown away long ago.

Pleasantly surprised! I did not have high expectations but I was wrong. I had the stir fry beef broccoli with sautéed green beans so tasty and fresh. The buffet had a pleasant display of a ray of Chinese cuisine. I genuinely enjoyed the overall experience.

Well. It’s not the best food around. I only ate sushi and crab legs. The fish sushi was questionable with the flavor and texture. The crab legs were tasteless even with the butter. I had to add salt to the butter to make it eatable. The servers kept bringing out a fly zapper — the one that looks like a tennis racket— to kill some flies at the actual buffet line. I went to check out the desserts and fruits, but the fruit flies and flies were a little off putting and the fruit looked a little sketchy. Unfortunately I would never come back on my own choice. It’s unfortunate that I have to leave a review like this. Towards the end of the meal, I heard a story of how they were shut down once after an incident of a rat falling through the roof into the dining area—the people who told the story were actually there when it happened. A little disappointed with this selection choice for lunch. Oh-yes. When we first walked in, you could smell old mop water that was used to mop the floors, and the restroom also had an interesting smell.

I had a very concerning experience here and feel it’s important to share. I dined here last night during dinner service, and while getting food for my child, I passed by the dessert area and saw a live fly on the apple pie. I brought it to the hostess’s attention, and she did acknowledge it and informed another employee. It appeared the staff was very busy, and unfortunately nothing was done to address the food at that time. Because of that, I avoided the desserts and chose something else. However, when I later served myself fruit salad, there was a dying fly inside the fruit on my plate, visibly moving. At that point, we informed our server, who apologized. However, the situation itself was extremely unsanitary and should not have happened in multiple areas of the food. What was especially frustrating is that despite these issues, I was still charged for my meal even after encountering flies in multiple items I selected. After leaving, I experienced symptoms consistent with possible foodborne illness, which made the situation even more concerning. This seems like a larger issue with food safety and cleanliness rather than any one employee. I hope management takes this seriou

Reasonably priced with good food nothing amazing but still worth the price I'd come here again if I was a bit low on cash looking to eat well. Food is for the most part was hot. Other than that the interior looks magnificent and the server was extremely nice.
