China Buffet Hawaii, Inc.

... Concentrate on the food, cuz it's way better than the 'ambiance'. These nice, well-meaning floks are just about completely, totally clueless when it comes to 'ambiance', committing virtually every possible 'faux pas' re: what even not terribly discriminating people need to experience when dining out. The lights are too bright, the floors are dirty, the TABLES are dirty, the CHAIRS are dirty (and uncomfortable) the two folks (I'm guessing they are married, cuz she kept giving him dirty looks whenever he said anything) were just about the most miserable looking sad-sacks I've ever seen. I wanted to ask them if there had just recently been a horrible death in the family.



... Having said that, the food was actually very good !!! So here we go again --- a buffet where the food is not bad ( ...or even good !!) and yet the proprietors are sabotaging their own (slim) chance of long-term success by insisting on remaining stupid when it comes to the most basic kind of cleanliness, lights, the importance of mood, etc. Summary: Go for the food but be forewarned, as of this writing, these guys are TOTALLY CLUELESS about everything else.

Not great but okay. The restaurant is in Waikiki so for what you pay the food is okay.Dinner is at $13.99.
