These are the best Chinese buffets in the Gulfport-Biloxi metro, according to Yelp

Chinese buffets are sacred places to get some of the best comfort food in the South.

If you ask people who live on the Mississippi Coast which Chinese buffet is their favorite, you’ll get a long list — everyone has their personal choice for best Chinese buffet.

Some have sushi, others make all of their sauces from scratch and one has a cult following even after the beloved owner sold the restaurant.

Yelp uses a star rating methodology based on customer reviews to give guidance to locals and tourists alike on where to eat in cities across the U.S.

The Sun Herald looked to Yelp to create a list of the five top-rated Chinese buffets in South Mississippi.

The No. 1 restaurant on the list, South China, is on Courthouse Road. The buffet is close to Gulfport High School and is known for their tanks full of colorful fish and ceilings lined with paper lanterns. When beloved owner “Mrs. Susie” sold the restaurant in the COVID-19 pandemic, the new owners kept most of the recipes the same and offer affordable buffet pricing for lunch and dinner that include a drink.

Here’s the full list from Yelp:

  1. South China, Gulfport (4 stars)

  2. China Garden Express, Biloxi (3.5 stars)

  3. Tian Tian Super Buffet, D’Iberville (3.5 stars)

  4. King Buffet, Biloxi (3 stars)

  5. Panda Palace, Gulfport (3 stars)

Casino buffets also include Chinese cuisine, and Yelp says the buffets at Palace Casino and Treasure Bay Casino are top rated, according to customer reviews.

South China Chinese buffet and restaurant is open six days each week for lunch and dinner.
