The variety is outstanding. The wait staff is helpful but has a tendency to hoover. Our waiter asked my husband if he wanted a refill 3 different times in 2 minutes. I appreciate great customer service but it can be annoying at times. Otherwise it was a great dining experience.

I have many Chinese buffets and the summer palace is up there among the three tops. The food was very delicious, great variety, friendly staff. The bathrooms were cleaned. One thing I didn't like is that they don't offer the 10% military discount as many other restaurants do. Nevertheless, the regular price was low enough to ensure it.

This is definitely one of my most popular Chinese food buffet places! The Mei Fun noodles are a specialty here, and the fried rice is great! Don't forget the broccoli chicken or the broccoli cow! If you have a great desire for Chinese food, but someone else in your party does not care much for it, tell them that they also have American Food on the other side of the buffet area. Pizza, chicken nuggets, STEAK (was delicious), bread rolls (VERY comparable to Bush's chicken rolls), and a huge selection of products from the salad bar with a variety of fruits. The watermelon tasted so good, especially at this time of the year I expected less sweetness, but I was wrong! And the vanilla ice cream was a taste very close to homemade vanilla ice cream! It was all so good!
