China Lobster - Lower Burrell (PA)

3 /5 Tami Lee: The food, service, atmosphere, and prices were all just okay. My first experience dining at China Lobster in Lower Burrell was not remarkable. Upon entering the store, I was greeted. Parking is limited. I was taken aback by the stunning fish tank display in the front lobby. I was seated in a booth, which I preferred. The restaurant could use a thorough cleaning. The staff were helpful. Dishes were removed from the tables, drinks were replenished, and the buffet was restocked and cleaned. The food selection was abundant, but the quality was underwhelming. Some dishes were enjoyable, while others fell short. There were a few bothersome flies hanging around the buffet steam tables and restaurant walls, which was frustrating! I appreciate the diversity of the staff. The bathroom was tidy, and employees were at a back table snapping green beans. Overall, the price was fair for what you got.

5 /5 Michael Mester: My wife and I had dinner at China Lobster. I had the Happy Family and a pork roll. My wife had the Subgum Pan-Fried Noodles. The place was busy and most people were getting the buffet. The Happy Family was hot and delicious with fried rice. My pork roll was excellent as well. My wife loved the Subgum Pan-Fried Noodles. Service was excellent and we were pleased.

5 /5 Nick: Love this place. I drive a little bit to come here but it’s so worth it. There’s only a few good buffets I know of in the Pittsburgh area anymore and this is definitely one of the best. Hadn’t been here since Covid but glad they’re back with the buffet and it is really good. Just like it was before. Lunch price has gone up but they all have.

1 /5 Danyell Devich: This used to be a favorite. It has definitely gone down hill. Our waitress though was very helpful and good at her job. The food was just ok but did not seem very fresh.. sadly my entire party got very sick after eating here.

3 /5 Kyle Gower: So the buffet was okay. I think the best things on there are, the coconut shrimp, garlic green beans, and chicken nuggets. The rest is okay but they have a word variation of the flavors of those other dishes that I do not like. I wouldnt say it was bad, but I dont think it was worth the money to eat there. While the place is clean it has a dingy and grimy look to the eating area. The buffet looks clean and crisp just the eating area is not great. The wait staff was great here and significantly improved my experience eating here, but not a place I would recommend, but not bad enough for me to hate on. It is just not for me flavor wise on a lot of things.
