What happened to all of the Chinese buffets?

Seemed like there used to be one on every corner... now they're becoming increasingly difficult to find. There's Oriental Pearl, and Hong Kong, neither of which I care for. Are there any decent ones left? I actually used to enjoy Great Wall, but now it's even been replaced.

Tepenyaki next to Lowe's on Siegen is not bad for a buffet, although it is Japanese. It's all the same to me.

I know Great Wall had a number of health code violations. Not sure if that had anything to do with its closing.

They all pretty much suck. They're buffets......

They got replaced by Pho restaurants

They are extremely terrible. That could be it.

They've been out-marketed in their demos by Golden Corral and Applebees, Denny's, etc.
And post-internet, all the jokes/rumors about the "meat" used really gained steam.

Are you referring to the one on the corner of Sherwood/Coursey, or is there another one? I think that location's buffet is pretty crappy. The last time I went in there the owner/chef was screaming at his wife and she was on the verge of tears. People were getting up and leaving it got so bad.

Oriental Pearl (on Government) is no longer a buffet. The last time I went they had replaced the buffet with a "serving line" with about 6-7 choices. If I remember correctly the serving line (take out) cost the same as the buffet used to

Health Dept started to shut them down. One rep told me Great Wall was a cesspool.

Skip the buffet. Go to Omi. Eat good food.

The smell of feces when you walked in the front door was intoxicating.
