    A nice buffet with a good variety of food. Quick service and very friendly. A good place for a reasonably priced Chinese meal. Although it's not the most trendy spot around, it was clean and quiet.

    Very dirty inside! Should have been my first clue and left...but I didn't. Waited a while for a seat. Had ice water to drink which was probably the best item I tried. I thought they have to at least get some soup and cheese wontons right? Wrong! Soup had old veggies in it and the hot and sour soup looked like a thick gravy or sauce. The cheese wonton tasted like the oil was rancid that it was fried in and the cream cheese had turned. Did not want to stay for anything else. Unfortunately they charged us full price for a cup of soup and ice water. But to tell you the truth I would have paid anything to get out of there as fast as I could! Yuck. Will not return...

    Please ignore the previous negative reviews; I've been eating here for nearly ten years and have never had a problem, the family that owns the place is very friendly and helpful; the children that are there are quiet and well behaved. The food is pretty Americanized Chinese, but has good flavor and the quality is the same day in and day out. My favorite thing to order is the wonton soup. The fried rice has great flavor and the little pieces of steak are wonderful.

    Hope's is a nice little buffet style Chinese restaurant. Not a huge buffet but the price is right and the food is good.

    After having dinner here, I spent 24 hours vomiting and having severe diarehea in the bathroom. So, I also looked them up and they have received several warnings from the Food Board for unsafe food. BEWARE!

    I've been here for the lunch buffet a few times since I work in the area. As far as generic chinese buffets go, it's pretty good. The food tastes reasonably fresh and there seems to be a lot of turnover with the dishes which is a good thing. I wasn't worried about anything sitting for too long. It's also super cheap. We did catering from here for a big lunch meeting at work and it was a hit. We wanted something other than the standard sandwiches since we've been having a lot of lunch meetings. People really liked it and they were really helpful with the order. Easy to work with. I wouldn't go there if I didn't work in the area but I would rather eat here than all the fast food places around and there is a huge variety on the buffet so there is something for everyone.

    Do you like going to the MN State Fair to see the biggest fattest pig? Well, now you don't have to wait all year to see one; just come on in to Hopes Chinese Restaurant! I'm totally serious. I've been there a grand total of three times. Yes, I know, I know, I rated it poorly but have continued to go back; I only do it for my dad, he loves eating there for Father's Day and other special Dad occasions. I was just there again for this past Father's Day and all I saw were giant pig people. *(note, my father is 53 and 160lbs and I'm 24 and 128. We were the only normal weighted ones there.)* The food was decent and probably coated in some sort of lubricant as to make it easier to exit the body. It is a buffet restaurant, and a step below Old Country Buffet. That is correct, a step BELOW. I had a salad (was alright) and then fried and white rice with mushrooms drizzled on top. That was delicious, but I don't know about this stuff they call "steak." It was tasty, but steak shouldn't get as flat as a CD case. My dad loved the three plates of different things he picked out, and mine was satisfactory. I don't ever voluntarily go on my own; I always go with my dad when he wants Chinese buffet. The only thing that I find safest to eat there are the jell-o cubes. Like Dani S. said before me here, "Beware" and eat at your own risk. The food may give you the poops; if you survive then you conquered! The best preventative from eating here is looking at all the ginormous people that are scarfing food like their next moment won't come. Ish-tah. Benefits: All you can eat for $9.95 Cool Chinese silk art on the walls Staff are hospitable and very friendly You can pretend that you are a judge on "The Biggest Loser" Look Out: Bathrooms are filthy The owner's children run around and pick food off of the buffet table Scary obese mutants You are in Spring Lake Park

    Good Food, Good Service. I found this place, just passing through town. Pretty crowded. The buffet was continuously being refreshed. The food was tasty. The waitress (is it called a waitress in a buffet?, i always wondered) was very pleasant. Kept the water glasses full, and cleaned the plates away as soon as it was finished. I went for lunch by myself, and brought a few friends back for dinner on Friday night. Pretty crowded, but still all was fresh, tasty and plentiful. And again the server was very pleasant. Funny thing, i read a few reviews after i was there, and i am convinced they are talking about a different restaurant. (Especially the guy that complained about $46 for 4 people and a baby.) I think for an all you can eat, buffet dinner, that was very under priced!! His mother in law would be happy here!!

    My family loves coming here to eat at the buffet, the food is fresh and tastes great - the singapore fried noodles, sesame chicken, pepper steak and soups (egg drop and hot and sour) are awesome we think this is the best Chinese restaurant in the area. We have never ever had any problems with staff or the owners children they have always been quiet well behaved and polite to guests. We have also had no problems with other guests who come to eat be it they are skinny or over-weight, if that is what your concerned with then y'all must be pretty shallow!! We frequent Hopes on a regular basis when we get the Chinese food craving and I can't say enough good things about the buffet - the price is right ($6.80 per adult for lunch they even have prices for children based on age) and as many refills on pop as you want, we just stick to water though. There is also salad and sushi on the buffet line for those that like that kind of thing, along with many appetizer type of food to choose from such as onion rings, egg rolls, cream cheese wontons, potstickers, spring rolls. Also on the buffet line you can have a choice of fried or white rice, pepper steak, sesame chicken, orange chicken, beef and broccoli, fresh beans and shrimp, general Taos chicken, chicken and green peppers and chow mien to name but a few. For seafood lovers you had best visit for dinner (a little more expensive at $8.90) but for all you can eat crab legs, shrimp, coconut shrimp/walnut shrimp, and some other dishes what more can you ask for? For you dessert lovers, they have a small but yummy selection - home made mini donuts, ice cream, apple turnover, all kinds of fresh fruits, chocolate eclairs, puddings and jello. The place gets a little busy around lunch time during the week you will find the workers in the area in here for lunch (Drs, EMTs, ambulance drivers, construction crew sometimes etc...) and after church lets out on Sunday the crowd pulls in for lunch. Highly recommended. As an added note: The owner and wait staff are most definatly not rude, they have been nothing but kind understanding and treat my family like family every time we go there to eat - we have NEVER had any problems with the staff and any problems we did have were immediately seen to. The food is not cold, this is what the steam table is for to keep food warm try getting your food from the bottom of the pan or mixing it up slightly before plating it - my family has nothing but good experiences here, and no we have not found any hair in the food. My family frequent this establishment on the weekends and love the place no problems anywhere - the food and soup is excellent as always. The place is never dirty when we visit the staff are constantly cleaning tables and sweeping the dining area floor. The hot and sour soup is SUPPOSED TO BE THICK... when it's thin and watery it has just been brought out and the vegetables are raw which sucks!!! Our other family favorite egg drop soup has always been great no problems with it or it's vegetables. If you decide to visit on a holiday then yes the place will be busy and you will end up waiting for a free table!! Just a heads up this restaurant has been in business for over 20 years so they must be doing something right!!!

    One of the oldest Chinese buffets I've been to and still a favorite of mine. I remember being brought here when I was younger. They don't have as big of a selection as they used to, but the quality is a step above the rest.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
