Chow Time Buffet - Memphis

I love buffets. For some some reason, it brings out the child in me. Buffets done right are fun, even when dining alone. This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. This restaurant not only has Chinese food, but it also has 'southern home cookin '. To be honest, this is the first restaurant that I have ever been to to boast of southern cooking, so my opinion of the southern food is from an extremely amateur point of view. On the other hand, I would consider myself a master of consuming 'American ' Chinese food. The day I visited was a Thursday for lunch. I sampled nearly every item in the Chinese section. I found every item to be unique in flavor when compared to other items. As all the items are not customly cooked to order, as in a traditional restaurant, I was literally amazed at the taste, texture and warmth of the my meal. The chicken eggrolls and the hot sour soup, were so yummy that I went back for seconds. I also sampled from the southern section and was delighted to see such variety of non-chinese food. Most of the food, I didn 't recognize I 'm more used to Southern California Cooking). This concept of the Southern food is a great option for family members who don 't really care for Chinese. The food was also fresh and tasty. The fried chicken was excellent! I really enjoyed how they took simple ingredients like potato 's and onions and made a tantalizing side dish. The salad bar was complete with fresh veggies on ice, everything was crisp. I dined during the week and my total including soft drink was under $15 which I feel was a good value as it is a similar price point as other buffets, but with better food. As I was finishing up, I really started to try to find a reason not to give them 5 stars. My whole dining experience from the friendly staff, to the great tasting food, seemed a little too easy, and maybe I was missing something. Come on, there had to be a catch, there 's no such thing as a 'perfect dining experience ' at a buffet. It was then that I realized that I didn 't try the sushi. I went to the sushi section, only to realize that there wasn 't one. Was I disappointed, not at the littlest bit. The incorporating of Southern and Chinese food as menu items far surpassed the lack of sushi. Thank you to the staff on the day I went, you guys rock, and created a very memorable experience for this newly relocated google guide. And, please remember to tip your servers!

This buffet was divided between soul food and regular Chinese food. Everything was tasty except the hit water cornbread and the dressing. Service was excellent and very friendly staff.

I love this place and eat here every time I come to Memphis! Quality soul food, American food and Chinese food. Definitely over ate, happily (and they don't weigh the to-go plates)

After receiving an email from the marketing manager offering a complimentary meal for me and a guest, my family decided to give the place another try. We
