They are not very good at keep warmers full. Everytime we have gone some of the warmers are empty, which means having to go back up later. Also had some wonderful sweet and sour pork and no longer offer.

My recent visit to Wah Lee Chinese Restaurant for their buffet left me with mixed feelings. While the buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, the overall food quality left much to be desired. The selection at the buffet was extensive, featuring classic American Chinese favorites such as sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and lo mein noodles. However, many of the dishes appeared to have been sitting out for a while, leading to a lack of freshness and flavor. Some items felt reheated and left over, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the staff were attentive and kept the buffet well stocked throughout our meal. The restaurant itself had a pleasant atmosphere, with comfortable seating and clean surroundings. While the buffet at Wah Lee Chinese Restaurant offers convenience and variety, the inconsistent food quality detracts from the overall dining experience. With improvements to ensure freshness and flavor, Wah Lee has the potential to provide a more satisfying buffet experience for its customers in the future.

Great food when fresh; which, is usually at their peak times for buffet. Staff are nice. I go here first, before others, if seeking Chinese food.

I’m not sure how this place has 4 star reviews, we stopped by here when driving through Brandon and this has to be the worse Chinese food we have ever had. Cold and very stale. The food had a really off taste to it and the sauces all tasted sour/bitter. Extremely disappointed, definitely not worth the money.

Great place for a quick hot meal. Reasonably priced. There were somethings I didn't care for, but there is enough of a section to satisfy anyone.

Every single time weve ordered take-out there is something missing or wrong. Today there were no chop sticks even though right on their order sheet it said chop sticks. In addition, we ordered combo D (as in dog) & got combo B instead. Weve decided to try out another Chinese restaurant to avoid future frustration.

Found this place by accident and it was a pleasant surprise. Servings were small but the prices were good so it worked out. Staff struggled a bit with communications but were very accommodating and pleasant. Food was authentic (ordered a la carte - we didnt go for the buffet). Ginger beef was beef fried up with long shavings of ginger. YUMMY!
