Happy customers keep coming back to this buffet restaurant, making Happy China one of the most popular Chinese eateries in the St. Louis area. Tucked away in a strip mall in the western suburb of Creve Coeur, Happy China provides plenty of choices for the all-you-can-eat crowd. Its buffet line features five steaming-hot islands of Chinese favorites, along with two cold-item stations and an oversized wok offering a select stir-fry dish. Happy China's owners, the Pa family, hail from Taiwan, so the menu isn't restricted to any one Chinese cooking style. Instead, you'll find dishes from three regions -- Peking, Hunan and Szechuan. Happy China's menu also includes twenty-three hot and spicy entrees, but Chef Pa is happy to turn down the heat for customers who request it. Happy China's dining room is marked by dark lighting, standard-issue, red-vinyl booths and generic-style tables. But decor aside, Happy China gets the important things right: The buffet stations are clean, the food is flavorful, prices are low and parking is ample.

The carpets and floors are very dirty -- needs to be redecorated and lightened up. The food is okay but the ambiance needs modernizing.

THE WORST BUFFET EVER
By signblaster on 12/30/2007
First off whoever rated this buffet good has obviously not eaten there in quite some time. The food was horribly, dried out, and most likely rotten. The smell of the place alone should have made us leave before we ever sat down, But since it was after all voted best buffet by RFT readers, I thought we'd give it a chance, a saturday evening at 7 pm, you would think this is their prime time of business. All of the seafood was completely uneatable, And for $12 per person you would have thought that they might know how to cook anything on the menu, every piece of beef and pork was the fattiest, stringiest thing I have ever tasted. Even the sweet and sour chicken was nasty and over cooked. I don't think that I would feed this junk to my dogs! I highly suggest going to any china buffet BUT this one!
