The phrase "Chinese all you can eat" most commonly refers to Chinese buffet restaurants where customers pay a fixed price to eat unlimited amounts of food from a variety of Chinese dishes. These all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets often include multiple options like appetizers, main dishes (meat, fish, vegetables), sushi, and desserts, sometimes with live cooking or grill stations. Examples include Gong-Bao Buffet in Dortmund, Germany, known for its diverse selections with Chinese, Mongolian, and sushi dishes, priced reasonably with drinks sometimes included. Other examples include Asia Palast and XIAO, Asian experience buffets offering a range of creative sushi, live grill Mongolian style, vegetarian options, and desserts. These buffets often have family and child pricing and may also offer take-away options. Many buffets have specific dining time limits, such as 2.5 hours for eating and drinking.
This style of dining is popular for its variety, allowing patrons to try many types of Chinese cuisine in one meal for a set price.
