Reviews of Evergreen China Buffet (Restaurant)

Cynthia landsberger

This place was amazing. Good service great food. So many different options. And allowed me to take desert home!!

QuincyD Mares

This is a very good place to go if you are looking for a quick bite to eat. Its is very family friendly and it even has chicken nuggets, french fries, and sometimes pizza rolls and tater tots. Kid friendly. The chinese options are very good and fresh. There is a little salad bar as well. For dessert they have cookies and other sweets and they even have some ice cream options! Very good I eat here often

Westley Wood

Price's are pretty good. Food selection isn't bad. Service is a bit above fair. The cleanliness of the restaurant could be alot better. They do seem to have actual real Chinese people working there which is awesome. (Note that some of the employees are not the best at English, but fair.) I wish the food presentation was a bit better. The restrooms are small, but they work. They actually play traditional Chinese music in the restrooms as well. Food variety is acceptable, but isn't authentic Chinese food. Overall I'll give it a 7.09/10

Becka Ward

The food was really good! And everyone was nice :)

John Bauer

Not completely horrible, but definitely far below average.

Janae Harker

For the price, it is great! They have tons of seafood, and yummy ice cream. The staff was very helpful and kind. Not the flashiest looking place, but that makes it kind of fun.

Jennifer Seibert

Good food but the bathrooms needed some TLC

Michael Johnson

Love this place, excellent food for the price.

Heidi Baker

Depending on what time of day you go. The freshness of the food. Wish they would switch out food more often to prevent the food from being burnt by the warmers.

Ken Yellen

Saturday, noon, all the dishes in the line closest to the parking lot were cold, except for the soups. I guess they figured the health department doesn't check on weekends. When I pointed this out, another guest said it was all cold also. Great way for food poisoning. This used to be great food. Never more.

aurora hall

Good food good service. My favorite place to go.

Yoshi Harada

Consistently great good and attentive wait staff.

Brian Hillyard

Food was ok. You will get full.

Jeremy S

They have a large selection of food, however it is very poor in quality and tastes as if it has sat under the heat too long. The price is ridiculous for the quality of food. Besides that, 4 out of 5 of me and my friends that went to eat there left feeling sick due to the food. I probably won't be dining here again

Jonathan Blaine

Evergreen has a very large variety of food which I enjoy. Today, most of the food was very fresh and was well prepared. I went at 5:00 pm. I have gone at times before when items were cold. I have found if you go when it is busy is the key. I have never had to wait in line which is good as well. They have a lot seating. I definitely well go again. Good family atmosphere.

Sara Docken

Lot's of food choices!

Frank Tomasetti

Always consistent, been mine and my kids favorite for years. Been going to them for almost 10 years now never a bad experience always the go to meal when you need Chinese food and don't want to wait for an order

mommma life

We have been here before and was totally disappointed with the food that was served today. We got there at 1145 and some of the food looked like it had been sitting there for longer than 45 minutes...i wish this wasn't the case. We usually enjoy their food and service was bad too. No drink refills.

Kathy Hedman

Eating Chinese as much as I want, however I like It, The food is mouthwatering.

kevin chidester

Pretty good lunch

Shawnae Lopez

Food was good. Beautiful atmosphere...food could have been warmer..nice price wise.

Stephanie Dillon

Their service sucks. I had to ask twice to even have drinks brought to us and then nobody asks if we want refills. Don’t go after 6p as they take forever to refill anything on the buffet. And they don’t give you a real receipt with prices. Just a generic paper with your total so you have no idea how much you paid for what. Edit: I’m taking this down to one star. My youngest either has the flu or food poisoning after eating here.

Jim Chavez

OMG what can I say this place is my all time favorite restaurant here in Idaho falls omg I grew up coming here every year on my birthday and I came on the day of my graduation I have so many memories here with my family

Michael Barton

Let's face it, if you're going to a buffet, anywhere, you have by default lowered your standards to a degree. That being said the food here is as good as 90% of the Chinese restaurants out there, the exceptions being the really high quality places. So if you have a hankering for some Chinese I don't know why you wouldn't come here. You pay the same, if not a little less, and get 10x the variety.

Steph Robertson

I love Evergreen, everytime I go there the employees are so nice and the food is good.

Solid Waste

Being an all you can eat buffet it can be a decent value if you have a hearty appetite. I don't find any menu items are a real stand out and if you don't eat right around lunch or dinner food may be luke warm and limited on some items.

Josh Johnson

We have eaten here since our kids were babies. They always remembered our kids names. The kids call it "The Eating place". It is a Chinese buffet. Nothing fancy but we have always enjoyed going here. Friendly owners that always recognise us.

James Lee

One of the best in the country. Great choices.

Renee Kimbrough

Disappointing. Should have believed reviews on Yelp. Food was lukewarm even right out of the kitchen. Over cooked, dry. Wait staff was awful. Stood together chatting rather than removing plates and refilling drinks. We tried to ask him questions but he looked at us with a blank stare and simply walked away to apparently find someone who understood English. He could have at least indicated that we should wait a bit before just walking away. Floors and tables not cleared after patrons were finished. Restaurant was not very busy so no excuses, just a lack of concern and care. Won't be going there again.

Lyle M

Foods not bad but it's suppose to be a buffet and yet many of the popular food is not available. I usually walk in and look to see if what I like is there. If it is empty I walk back out. If it is empty you may not see it refilled for 30 minute or longer.

Ruben Galaviz

Very dirty place. Nothing is clean, everything is gross.

Roy Monroe

It's Chinese food and a buffet! What more do you need? I will say for Chinese buffet, it is really good.

Michael Clarke

What food they do have is really good for a buffet. But the choices are very limited and most of it is seafood. Plus. It is a bit pricy. But if your a seafood lover then this place is for you. The staff is nice but they aren't very prompt with refilling drinks. I've been 3 times and each time they double charge me. Which I then have to call my bank and fix and it's a bit of a headache.

Carolina Torres

Good food, friendly people

Laura Hayes

It was very good

Chris Tapp

Service was horrible!! Had to fill our own drinks. Waited for buffet items that never got restocked. It was not a great experience. Never will go back.

Mary T

This place has a large variety of food. They are friendly and fast. They change out the dishes on the steam table quickly and there is always someone checking the dishes and wiping the steam tables clean. Their desserts are great. They offer American and authentic dishes. One of my favorite places to eat!

Stephen Grant

Overall pretty decent buffet. Sushi is lacking in selection and flavor, but a decent selection of other dishes. Beef and broccoli was delicious! Very nice staff, too!

Hooded Sorceress

This place has amazing food. Would love to eat here every day if i could

Mario Ramirez

Bland plain no real love in the food here I suggest going elsewhere.

Bill Reese

Very good food, entrees were kept fresh and full.

Joseph

The food was good. The only disappointing thing was the ice cream, but everything else was awesome.

Lori Lori

Price is right for average Chinese food

Cody Clark

Always good food, consistent and lot's of options. Personally my favorite All you can eat place and prices are fantastic.

Nathan Riblett

Food was good, service not so much

Nevada Walker

Nice atmosphere snd good food

Lina Leavitt

Very dirty, everything tastes the same. Expensive for not a lot of food variety you don't get to pick where you want to sit. Wasn't busy and waiter didn't come for our plates for 20 minutes . Crab legs had nasty growing on em. Dessert cake is made and then frozen and very crumbly. Ice cream looks as if it has sat for a ling time and freezer burnt. One of the employees had their children there and they were running around the food playing and the boy even grabbed some cantaloupe with his dirty hands and then put it back. This place is a joke! Needs to be shut down and remodeled and under stricter managment....state needs to make a trip to this place and fine them. My family and I will never return.

Sheryl Thomson

If you like seafood, this is the place to be. This is a seafood buffet with a few Chinese food options. The chicken I selected from the buffet was very rubbery. I don’t care for seafood and am not impressed. I ended up ordering beef & broccoli from the menu. It was extremely salty.

Daniel Mcisaac

Chinese buffet. Variety is good, food is fair, great customer service. Pricing is about what you woukd expect for a buffet style place.

Bryce Weyerman

This place is amazing and the food here is as well

Ishtiaque Karim Robin

Very good, most of the time the food is enough both quantitatively and qualitatively. But once, I had a very bad experience because food was not fresh. I gave them a benefit of the doubt and was not disappointed again. This is the best buffet in town.

donnie wheeler

The food was cold and alot of empty pans. The service was terrible we had to ask for refills on pop every single time and asked for a towel or napkins to wipe up a spilled pop and was totally ignored. This use to be a very good place to go for buffet but I will never go back and would not recommend it to anyone....

Carol Tracy

Best place to eat for a buffet.

Quirino Torres

To many cockroaches

Stephen Meldrum

Always delicious variety of foods. Favorites include the stuffed mushrooms, walnut chicken, green beans, chicken on a stick. Owners and service are always courteous. Lace is clean.

Cristy Fielding

The food here is the best Chinese food I've ever had and the best food

Steven Thomas

They are very reasonably priced for great food. Building is not new but people are very friendly and food is delicious. Very casual and relaxing family friendly place to eat.

Benjamin Harker

This place had crab which is a big plus one in my book. Other than that pretty average place.

ty mccutchen

Good grub

Zane Calderwood

It has been awhile since I have eaten here. The food quality has gone downhill. Runny sweet/sour sauce, tough chicken with little flavor...that about says it...little flavor food.

Nicholas Noe

Delicious food, but pricey for Chinese. Two buffets were just under 27 bucks. Huge selection. Good service.

Dorothy Cromartie

I think it should be a Tofu dish added to the few items already for the non meat eaters. Than it will be 5 stars.

Appolo Geticks

Food quality, food selection, service and cleanliness in this place have gone down, so far that I will probably never eat there again. This used to be one of my favorite places to eat, but they have simply let the place go. The food is often cold and or mixed with other food and they have gone from about 15 dishes to about 8, filling the rest of the empty space with cookies and Jello. The servers barely notice you are there yet expect to be tipped and the place is dirty all the time, with graffiti on the walls. I will just go to Mongolian or Happy Chinese Restaurant from now on

Juan Labra

Great Variety!

Barry Jackman

Its about average for a chinese buffet in idaho

Nikki Peterson

Friendly and clean food is awesome

Travis Kerbs

Excellent all the way around. The staff was way nice on point with drinks and very friendly. The bathrooms where clean and food was good. Not five stars on food but decent.

LoDiZZle Dabadollipofdaisy

Well I'm sure my experience would have been better except for the fact that there is a Hispanic family sitting next to me in a booth and they proceeded to let their son pull his pants down and poop right on the booth seat and then just put a couple of napkins over it and left and obviously didn't leave a tip well I tried to forget about that and then the smell started hitting me and I brought it to the waiter's attention and as soon as I know the stores like closing because of a biohazard apparently there's maggots inside this and they've closed down the whole place. Now I would like to try to get in to see if maybe I can have a better experience but my wife has sworn the place off for her life. So I mean hey if something like that happens to some families that could be a great show but not mine

Bryan Smith

I come here very often. It is my favorite. I haven't had better Chinese food buffet or not. Very quick in and out if you want but also a great atmosphere to sit and visit.

Jenifer Barker

Selection of food is nice, but as a food service professional with way to much knowledge in my brain on safe food handling practices and food borne illness, you will never get me back in here unless it over goes a major cleaning. It was a bacterial nightmare.

Jessica Dredge

The food is delicious and the customer is so awesome!! My family loves this place!

Kerry Anderson

Super great food. Always enjoyed when I go.

Andy Eldridge

Terrible. Cold food in the hot warmers. Peel and eat shrimp sitting above the pan in the "ice tray" that had no ice. This place could be a health department nightmare.

Donald A

Kind of expensive. Some food was good, like the shrimp, but some ok.

cesar Hermosillo

Cold food, not enough choice on food and servers not on point, the got me diffrent drinks then what I order, made me sick.

Eric Laing

Food was much better than before. place needs to be cleaned better. Service was ok. Price is fair. Will give it another try. But clean it better or I'll walk out.

Kimchi Burgess

Not a bad place at all. The food was pretty decent, though the variety was a bit average in my opinion. Everything was either hot or warm, and very few things were overcooked. Even so, they weren't overdone to the point of being unpalatable. Best Chinese buffet in Idaho Falls!

Ronald Nitz

We love this place! They have all of our favorite items, and more than we could possibly try in one meal. I don't know how they do it at that price. The staff is also especially nice.

Craig Hanni

Pretty good food. Could be friendlier.

Janice Hall

clean, ample seating, good food & nice staff will return.

Dalayza's Show

We really love evergreen. The staff there are very friendly and attentive to their guests. The staff there has become almost like family. There is plenty of variety of meats, Soups, sushi, fruits, veg, deserts. My favorite is the egg rolls, lo mein, rice, stuffed mushrooms, shrimp,crab, chicken, and so much more. I love the fruit and salad bar options. They also have a great selection of icecream which is from Farr's a local ice cream shop.

Tyler

Service is alright, but the food is pretty good. Nice environment to be in.

Adrian Whetten

Wonderful food for a good price. Staff is excellent, food is always good and I never leave hungry or disappointed. Love their Cheesy Seafood. They also have food for the kiddos that don’t like Chinese. I would whole heartedly eat there everyday if I didn’t live so far away.

Meg Hankins

been going here since i was little. wonderful food

karey paul

The sweet and sour sauce was terrible. It was not very good a to all.

Blaze Eckman

Great food for a buffet, always impressed

Pink Peppermint Cheese

Best food and probably go there next month.

SABRINA RISH

Great food

Jared Smith

The food tasted like it had been sitting out all day.

Norville Rogers

Only a few things are good like the cashew chicken and potstickers

Clinton Worle

A good variety of interesting foods.

Paul Cosson

Food taste great but they are always charging you full price even for kids. Had 11 yr and 9 yr old. And 12 and under doesn't get charged adult price. Yet some how for us 3 and all just getting water it still came to $29.55 that's 10+ a person. I asked what a 9 year olds and 11 yr meal cost and was told $7.45.

Caleb Cheshire

So so good, quality of food was poor. Everything kinda tasted the same.

Drew Secrist

If you like cold food and bad after taste this is the place for you. Oh and the hand dipped ice cream is very heavy on the ice. Tasted like it had been in the freezer for years.

Keegan Hennis

Great food and a good price.

John Schwartz

sick to my stomach!!!!!!!!! dont eat here without a STRONG STOMACH!!!!!

allen peasley

Very bad Chinese food for an all you can eat

Terry Stevenson

The best Chinese restaurant in town. The food is always great. They have shrimp, lobster, chicken, beef, noodle, rice, and even desert. For the desert they have jello, ice cream, cake, oranges, pineapple, and etc.

Joy Most

They charged my fiance's card twice after them saying it denied but his online account showed it went through thennnnn they charged my card. So they charged us a total of 3 time for 1 receipt. Our total was $34.83 they charged us 3 separate times.luckily we got our money back not from them they were no help but my fiances card canceled the transactions....never ever will I go back unless I've got cash!!!

Aaron Tuck

Good food good price

Cameron Larson

Best Chinese buffet ever. I have been going here every weekend for the past year. Their selection of food is great and their desserts are awesome. Pros: Stick chicken House chicken Jello-shots Rice pudding Hot and sour soup Good cuts of meat Jake Long Cons: Ice cream

Mike Satterthwaite

Ok not great

Kimleelynn *

Excellent food for a great price. I have been going here for over 17 years and have continued to enjoy it.

Jeanna Hill

Has decent food but a lot of times the food sits to long without being changed out for fresh and becomes very cold and hard from sitting. For the price per buffet I want fresh hot food. Also the waiter service is non existent. You will get one drink brought to you upon arrival and afterwards they will not check on you at all to refresh your drinks or take away dirty plates.

Mac Bizzo

I was thankful that I was not rushed. The food selection and quality for lunch was equal to the cost. Lunch with hot tea was $11

Joseph Garza

Awesome fresh food

Oscar Martinez

Out of all the buffet here in the town of Idaho falls. For me is the best buffet. Why because of the variety of dishes they have set out.

Emily Grimmett

I wasn't expecting much when I went here, but the service is pretty good. I'm just not a fan of the food.

Philip Lyon

Food quality is poor. My wife and i both got sick from the food. Nothing serious though.

NyEli Martinez

Yes yes yes

Marissa Singleton

This is my favorite restaurant! I love the food it is always fresh

Joe Bugg

halinarose ereaux

I love this place

Ryan Grover

Service and quality of food is not even worthy of one star.

Brandon Jones

food was super cold reported to manageer he said just get it from the bottem very unsafe I would not eat there ever again. you were warned.

Maria Dominguez

Food is usually good. Tonight's food didn't have much flavor

Randomly Rachelanne

Great food. Pricier than I expected. Nice and attentive staff!

Nora Wakley

I really don't like the idea is that you guys track me everywhere I go or if I pull over in the parking lot I get stupid messages of how was this place or how was that place and all I'm doing is pulled over to use my phone

Nancy Archibald

I really enjoy the large variety of meats, seafood and vegetables at Evergreen. I like the lightly sauteed bean sprouts with paddock white fish and ginger garlic sauce over the top. I'm now eating a ketogenic diet, which has helped me lose 103 lbs these last 11 months. Evergreen has many ketogenic foods conveniently available which makes this lifestyle easy. The staff are friendly and helpful. Your whole family can choose their favorites from their wholesome menu. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Cheyenne Taylor

Delicious food & great service! It's never a bad experience when I go here. All the staff is very friendly!

Spencer Plate

Decent Chinese buffet. About what you expect.

Christian Stark

Food was good. But they didn't have a huge variety

Jeremy Norman

Surprisingly good, lil more pricey than I thought, but really yummy

Josh Sullinger

Amazing restaurant, great food, family owned.

Krista and Carl Roker

Great place been coming here for years restroom needs attention but other then that me and my buddies enjoy a lunch here every sonoften

Ryan Ayres

First thing you notice is the smell before entering the dining area (a nauseating dead fish odor). I should've done a 180 at this point, but decided to give it a chance. The decor is in deteriorating shape and the floors look nasty. During dinner rush hours, there were only a spattering of customers and the buffet looked to have been out for a few hours. Food was cafeteria quality and the General Tso had the strangest color and taste I've ever encountered. The only thing I remotely enjoyed was the Mongolian Beef. The price was more than better quality buffets

Rose Brockman

It was awesome keep the good work up

benjamin cortes

Delicious food and Wilson was an amazing server

Kay Brower

Sushi looks like it is from a gas station. Overall flavor was blah.

patrick eddington

Always friendly food is great one of my favorite places to eat

Max Bailey

Good selection and variety

Viviana Garcia

We eat here often.....food is authentic and very good. My favorite is the hot and sour soup. Restrooms could be a little cleaner though!

Carston Wood

Good foods

Lidia Estacio

I wish they had more variety and the place does not smell well and it could be more brighter in there

terrie burgess

They have something for everyone, from American to sea food

Sean Bigham

One of my favourite places for good food and friendly staff. In 11 years never had a bad experience there.

jonathan cardiel

Really bad

Joseph Smith

Pretty tasty for a Chinese buffet in idaho.

Eric Schaat

Great staff, very friendly; good food.

Steven Pietrok

Decent food, just a little expensive great selection of food though

Kristi Eldridge

Good place to eat when our favorite is unavailable

Janetrobinson2468 Robinson

Pretty good buffet, lots of choices! I love the flavor and the huge amount of dishes

Angelica Verdone

Great food. Nice spread for the buffet. Cheap prices

stan johns

Ok place, food was ok, variety ok. Not quite as good as others.

fritz beedle

Lucky if you don't get food poisoning from there

Exclusive

I would not say "bad" but there are only little food and a little place. The food seemed like it was from another day and they just heat it up and put it back. But the service was good.

Rachel Zaladonis

Love this restaurant. One our favorites.

Tristin Pratt

There is plenty of variety here: you could fill two or three plates with a single piece of everything. For the most part, it’s good. Some of it is a little bland, but there’s enough other good things to make up for it in my opinion. The price is definitely fair if you eat enough.

Madeline Johnstone

Good food for a good price. Clean, family friendly, and great service.

Shannon West

I love the food and the employees are so nice !

Ashley Pitman

I very rarely leave a review. If I could give zero stars, I would. This buffet was HORRIBLE, and ridiculously priced for awful food and terrible service. I will never go back, and would not suggest to anyone else to go either. I am amazed that they are able to stay open. Wow.

Perry Shumway

Decent food, decent price. Yes, sometimes some items aren't as hot as maybe they should be. Whatever. The picky will gripe and moan, of course. For everyone else, Evergreen will satisfy that Chinese buffet itch, not in a stellar way but with a mostly satisfactory eating experience. Avoid the sushi though, haha. Kinda gross.

Mike Rhoades

Off the charts with the new. Stopped coming here for years. In love with it again.
