Reviews of Confucius House (Restaurant)

Yepi Sirn

The buffet looked old and dry. The waitress just sat at the corner booth while the plates piled up on our table. Don’t get angry, if there isn’t a tip on the table.

David Smith

This is a nasty place. The cooks don’t wash their hands, and they use old, stale food. Clean practices aren’t use in the kitchen either, for example they use the same dirty boards to cut raw meat and fresh fruit. The bathrooms are very dirty. They use it a lot of oil in their food. They use dirty water to watch the floors

Sitting in the lobby now, my card wasnt going through so I can in right as they clothes and they still made my food even though they closed. This place is the best! Will definitely return! Great customer service

Mace Watson

Love this place. The lunch buffet is great. The food is flavorful and hot. I go here at least once a month for my Asian fix.

Beverly Baumgart

We love this place. Go there often. Always good food. There are usually several tables of Chinese students eating here, so we figure the food must be authentic!

geno malmquist

Favorite Chinese place!

Susan Rand

Went to dinner here on a Friday night. Wasn't very busy. Had great service and good food but was a little confused with my dinner. I ordered the stir fry chicken which usually has a nice mix of vegetables but all I had was chicken and broccoli. Egg rolls were really good.

Yolanda C

The waitress was very nice. The food comes out piping hot though. I already eat slower than most. The quantity of the soup was very large. If you are a big eater and love your food very hot this is the place for you!

Patrick Moore

"Awesome" Great service, five stars is not enough, I would give ten stars, Great food!

Ryan Hooten

Glenn Rose

Website says delivery available at 11am called at 1215 said i dont think we can deliver can you come pick it up??? Uhhh thats why i want delivery smh. So update ur website or dont deliver at all

Evan Olson

Can be a little hit-miss here. Over-all buffet is OK and better than the big place up the street at 100/Nat'l. Most of the food is decent but some items don't have much flavor and/or are a little cold. Got pretty grossed out after the last visit. While paying for our meal on the way out I saw two children that obviously work for the family that runs the place making egg rolls. One of the kids scraped food off of his hand with the bottom edge of the table multiple times while continuing to assemble them. Made my stomach considering I had just finished eating. Haven't been back.

How many places that serve a Chinese buffet do you see the chef cook?!! Exactly.. this place is amazing and they work hard here!!

Alice Link

We had Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp for carryout and it was filled with jumbo shrimp that were cooked perfectly. Probably the best I have ever had. It could have had more walnuts and broccoli - but I'll never complain I got too much shrimp. A lot of people eat the buffet, but the menu has so many choices including authentic Chinese. I just wish this restaurant was close to home, we would go all the time.

Karl Grabowski

Used to go here every week, but hadn't been in a while. The food was as good as I remembered, but the service and restoking of the buffet was horrible. Their lunch is supposed to run until 2:30 but at 1 there were so many of us waiting for more food. After seeing two tables get up and leave (about 20 minutes of waiting), I went to the hostess and asked for 3 of the dishes to be refilled. She went in back and said something. 18 minutes later I asked why nothing had come out... She went in the back and about 8-10 minutes later brought out one, then about 5 minutes later another. That was it. Another two tables left muttering something about "this is the last time". At the end my wife and I were the only ones in the place at 1:40. She didn't ask if we wanted any more drinks or anything. I don't know if I will ever return. It's too bad, the salt and pepper fish is awesome.

Mike Deren

Ran out of bbq ribs. Substituted BBQ pork. Terrible and fatty. Lomein had all kinds of onions and peapods-terrible. Beef fried rice was dry and chewy. Never again.

James Jegers

Ate lunch their for the first time and had the buffet. They had a good selection of standard Chinese items. Everything that I tried tasted good and am planning on going back. Prices very reasonable and the staff was friendly. While many kids might not like Chinese, I think one could find enough off the buffet to please them.

Cheryl Popoutsis

The buffet has a nice variety which they replenish often. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Victoria Brown

Loved the food. Was hot, fresh, good service. Will be going back.

Maggie Stewart

The food is good and the waitresses are very friendly.

Ice And Fire Co.

The food was fresh and delicious. The price is great for the portion size. The staff was friendly. It’s not very close to me but I will absolutely be back

Thomas Johnson

Good lunch buffet, seafood delight has big shrimps and great calamari. Service was prompt and gave my bill while I was up getting another helping. One bad note, there were 2 types of egg rolls when I went in. The big one that looks homemade was good, the smaller type was really bad. It may just have been the one I got, but it literally tasted like sour milk. Good thing I had a big pot of tea to wash it down. All the other food was better than other buffets I've tried it the Hales Corners area.

Z C

Spectacular service, staff very knowledgeable about menu and ingredients. Huge serving sizes for price!

Chelsie B

We enjoyed the lunch buffet, really good! I love the fact that they’re a small buffet, they focus on providing great options. Definitely check them out you won’t be disappointed. We called to find out what time the buffet would end, the lady was so nice we knew we had to stop in. Each person was so friendly and welcoming. We’ll be back. Thanks for the great service and food.

Tom Schneeberg

The wife and I love their affordable lunch buffet.

Dawn Consentino

I gave this place several chances and every time the food was terrible!!! The customer service was awful!! I came here to have a peaceful family dinner and the guy at the door (I assume the owner) was screaming at this woman, she had received seafood that was left raw and they refused to give a refund. Don't ever eat here!!

Renee Parchym

I've had thier lunch buffet several times now. I really enjoy it. It is very reasonably priced as well.

tilde456

Warm casual atmosphere. Great buffet, excellent dinner. Plenty of parking and seating. Service is very good, friendly, happy (generally a good sign). I stop by whenever I am in the area. Important information: Good quality and well prepared food. Pricing is amazing (buffet and hot tea, $9usd) Family owned and operated... I have known them for almost 8yrs... The staff stays on... All of the original cheffs and most waitresses still there... They don't have kitchen mistakes they know their craft The staff eats there.... Haha Open around the calendar... They have something special for American holiday's Also hosting traditional Chinese food for gatherings and has something special for Chinese holidays. Owners come in for traditional Chinese cooking. Food is cooked in huge woks on large gas stations... They still have viewing windows to the kitchen Kids friendly.

Kay

Nice lunch buffet, cream cheese rangoons were delicious, light and crispy. Some items could have been warmer. Honey chicken was great too..

Barb Zimny

First time for lunch buffet and we'll be back! Wonderful staff, food was flavorful and hot. Restraunt was clean and price was right. Good selection to choose from, plus ice cream for dessert. Quality not Quanity is what we look for and this place has it!

Nate Jones

Perhaps it was just a bad day. Perhaps it wasn't such a coincidence. I had the dinner special, Sesame Chicken with Fried Rice. The chicken was overcooked to the point of being chewy. The sesame chicken sauce tasted burnt, and so did the Fried Rice. Also, for some reason the waitress kept calling me, "Baby." I wasn't sure whether to feel flattered or insulted. Instead, I was only confused. At least the price wasn't too bad. ($11 after tax and tip)

Diana Czebotar

Buffet has many options and is constantly being restocked, food is kept hot. Friendly server.

Steve Parys

Not the best buffet

Erin G

Great service, friendly staff. The pot stickers are great and the Honey Walnut Shrimp is excellent! Big portions sizes. We will be back :)

Eric Niemi

Solid Chinese buffet.

Regina Kortas

Great Chinese food! Try the honey chicken.

Molla Girl

Food was really good. And portions were big. Will definitely recomend this place

Earl James

The rug and bathrooms are very dirty. The waitress doesn’t prebus the dishes but chased me out the door for not tipping. I don’t care how much you make an hour, a tip is earned not expected. Also, it’s a buffet you shouldn’t have to tip much

Bruce Krueger

Great Food !! Reasonable prices! Great People!!

Stripes of Valor

My coworker and I stopped in for lunch buffet because we had seen good reviews and pictures. However, once we started eating we were a bit disappointed. I tried the honey sesame chicken, which was incredibly dry and bland. The general tso chicken was abnormally acidic and the sauce was very runny. Coworker tried their wings, which he stated were so bland that he couldn’t eat them. The only things decent were the white rice, egg rolls and their lo mein. Our server was nice and very attentative. For $8.95 a person plus drinks, this buffet was much too small for the price. For such a small buffet, I would have hoped for better quality food.

Chelsea G

EXCELLENT! Finally found a nice clean, fast and friendly Chinese Restaurant. Food was very fresh and prices are reasonable.

Alison Valona ebert

If you like to get ripped off go here!!! Make sure you write cash on the tip line. A server there likes to add whatever she likes for her tip.

Randy Shafer

We love the food here, been regularly going since the first time we've tried them. Good job cooks.

JEAN ANCZAK

Reasonable price with enough variety and good food

Ryan Szudrowitz

Family friendly staff, great food

Brian Nel

Loved it. The basil chicken is delicious

Tiffany House

I saw roach as we entered the restaurant

Krista Rose

Excellent food. Every time. Try the flaming Bobo platter as an appetizer. Super clean. 3 windows to watch the chefs!

Kismet Annon

I ordered sweet and sour shrimp it was garbage never had shrimp dough fried rice was ok egg foo yan was awfull over all keep your money my dog wouldnt even eat it wish i could give zero stars for this disgusting food

Sean Fagan

The reviews here are excellent both for the buffet and the menu, however it wasn’t quite as excellent as I would have thought. To me it was a normal Chinese buffet, not bad at all but nothing amazing, and the service was average.

Diana Andrews

Ordered take out. Food was ready in 10 min and I was able to pick up in the drive through. Very convenient. Food was delicious. I am definitely coming back.

Jason Koszuta

Their food is delicious! The Orange Chicken and Salt Pepper Fish are our favorites! They have a very efficient carryout system.

Eldamar Isle

The best Chinese food! Wife's best friend lived in China for over 9 years, she says it's the best she has had outside of Beijing! We have been coming here since the first day it opened. Now we have a tradition of coming here as close to Chinese New Years as possible. We usually eat of the traditional menu.

Michael O'Harrow

We came in right as they were about to close down the buffet. We ended up ordering off the menu. This was our second trip here and we weren't disappointed. Service was prompt and friendly. All in all I highly recommend this establishment!

Christina Zahn

Pretty good for a buffet

Michael King

We come here often and always order the basil chicken (best chinese fried chicken dish in Milwaukee) and Hong Sue eggplant. Salt and pepper shrimp and their chili fish are also top notch. Pro-tip: order off the Chinese menu on the back-- that's where all of the REALLY good dishes are!

Jerry Doran

They have a great weekend buffet.

Slavisa R

Good food worth ordering, lost a star for run down decor, but definitely good food.

Lisa Gatzke

Grabbed takeout here. The food was ready in less than 10 minutes. The staff was very friendly while we waited. Great customer service! The food was really good too! I will be back!

Sharon Mahos

great tasting food always fresh and hot it's made in small batches so it's always fresh the buffet is a great deal

ali khan

Good buffet for the price.

Jacob Alfred

Awesome Restaurant! Smaller and very cozy, a genuine Chinese restaurant.

Michael Reese

They have gone through a lot of waitresses in the last several months. Back in the spring, they hired a new waitress for the lunch buffet and she was really nice. I went back on Friday because that’s when I knew she would work and they had a new waitress there. They need to get rid of this waitress, she is rude and lazy. She had asked somebody why she did not get a tip well they were paying and that was rude.

Cheryl Fregoso

Excellent selection of excellent food! Friendly too.

Yahusha is the Torah made flesh

Excellent food

Peer Larson

Great food and service. Very personable and I'd recommend anything on the traditional half of the menu - very tasty!

Colleen Kellen

I ended up calling the police and will complain to the village as well. I pulled up to drive thru I ordered and it cost $28 I thought it was expensive They doubled my order and wouldn't refund my money. The original lady wouldn't come to window just this rude cook yelling at me I didn't order what they gave me or charged me for! I asked for menu and they charged me more than on menu! These people are crooks and do not deserve to be in business. Also rude and unprofessional. It's terrible that they think they can take advantage of people.

Emilys' Studio

Fast service. Serving size for dinner combo is just enough. Food is OK with good Customer service. Clean and it was not busy when I came.

L.J. Gibbs

Buffet was fair, nothing too tasty there. They used to be really good but now the food is just fair. Dinner was also fair now, it used to be so delicious, NOT anymore; what a disappointment. prices went up and yet the quality of food went down. Fortune down the street is so much better.

Margaret Czerniejewski

Our food was very tasty. Our waitress Was a gem. Thank you for letting us hangout and talk while we drank our ice tea.

Camille Rhodes

The food was AMAZING! We tried 5 entrees and 2 appetizers - ALL of them were flavorful! Delicious! The service was phenomenal! They are so friendly and were helpful. The vegetables were very fresh! The beef, chicken and squid were cooked perfectly! We will certainly be back!

Rick La marche

The dinner for two is really good and well priced. The egg drop soup was the only thing I was disappointed about.

Chris S

Went here before and I liked the food. So I decided to go back. This is when I got to see how some of the food is prepared. When we arrived there were 2 boys (about 9yrs old) preparing crab Rangoon at a booth near the door. Not a big deal but when one of the boys got some stuff on his hands and used the underside of the table to wipe his hands off that is when we left and when we will never come back

Bill Branson

I recently moved into this area. I have eaten at many Chinese restaurants in my life and had take out. Last night was take out. First let me say my order was ready in about six minutes. The staff were very nice and cheery. The prices are comparable to many places. I must say that the food tasted excellent. It was hot, very tasty, exactly like it should be. I even had my leftovers for lunch today. I highly recommend that you eat there and enjoy the food and the atmosphere.

Sara May

Buffet is decent at lunch time price is pretty average. Hot tea isn't included. Dessert was included.

Jim Hoffman

Delicious, authentic Chinese dishes, with fast, friendly service and good prices.

Deb Reher

We had the fried rice combo. That had chicken, pork and shrimp it was very good and enough to split. Unsweet tea was good as well as was the service. We'll go again!

J Z

The food was excellent. Service was great. The music was traditional Chinese (which I like when I am eating at a Chinese Restaurant)(who wants to listen to easy listening American music at a Chinese restaurant?) I definitely recommend. It would be one of the rare Chinese restaurants that would be good for date night or client meals.

CheerTracker Software Admin

We were so excited to try a new Chinese restaurant in the area. At 5 PM we ordered three meals: cashew chicken which tasted like it came off the lunch buffet line after sitting since 10 in the morning for lunch!Orange chicken which was actually edible half cold half warm and also tasted like it just came off the lunch buffet line after sitting for number of hours and the worst of all shrimp with lobster sauce and had nothing to do or look like actual shrimp with lobster sauce. It looks like they took some shrimp dish off the buffet line and mixed it with egg drop soup. It was absolutely horrible and disgusting! They should be embarrassed to call themselves a Chinese restaurant! I would highly suggest not to eat there for dinner or carry out. You have no idea what you're going to get and the food is so old it's embarrassing to pay $45 for three meals.

Diana Gomez

This place never disappoints! Food is delicious.

Dejana Jeremic

Best traditional Chinese food ever! Highly recommended!

Kathleen Reyes Jones

Consistently good food and friendly service.

Tina Hansen

We love their food, very good! Only place we order Chinese food from.

Gary Karnowski

Great food and service. Will definitely be going again!

Michelle Mavendorf

Great food, great price

Connie Schwenn

Horrible do not go there. We went for the Buffet which is at 5:00pm we got there at 4:45pm. We waited and waited finally we got up and walked out. We told the owner we will not come back and she said THATS FINE. They said they were busy getting the pick up orders out so, those of us in the restaurant waiting can just wait. Never never again.

chelsy hammill

Omg.... Lunch buffet .... Omg

alihya williams

Food was good. My son ate 4 plates. Lol. Place is small. Not a huge selection but staff was friendly. Sunday Bout 145pm wasn't busy.

sklams

Best Chinese lunch buffet in the city! Quaint, never crowded and always fresh. They may not have the huge selection of some larger Chinese buffets, but they make up for it in quality classic American Chinese fare. Highly recommended

Jay Harris

I stop in at least twice a month for the combo fried rice. The owner and staff are extremely nice. I Absolutely love they're food.

SILVIJA MEDREK

The restaurant has a smaller buffet, but it is very tasty. It is our favorite place for Chinese food

Scott Smith

Sean has people coming back by the dozens, the food is not only authentic but oustanding!!

Loreen Tackes

I've been looking for a really good Chinese place and finally found it!! A little outdated with stained carpeting, but really great food and great service. We had to wait for some of the food to be refilled for the lunch buffet but it was pretty busy.

Katie Kocan

Worst buffet I've ever seen. Scoop your own ice cream extreme, with the scoop sitting in dirty water was stomach turning. The only reason I gave a second star was the one pan of fresh food that was available was decent. But way too much bad to ever even consider another visit. First time in a long time I contemplated just walking out.

Katelyn Little

The food here is always fantastic! The owner is a very kind and caring man who genuinely likes to make people happy through his cooking. Lunch buffet is great, but this last visit we ordered to go. The crab Rangoon off the menu (different from what's served on the buffet) is my favorite crab Rangoon!

Gerald Jaeger

Nice lunch buffet!

Laura North

Love eating here... With family friends or coworkers

Heather Spencer

Generous food portions. Customer service is forefront. I loved the experience.

Nancy Jo Grochowski

Great buffet. Great prices

uzair khan

Owners serve halal/zabeeha chicken, beef and mutton on request

Big Daddy

Awesome Restaurant! Smaller and very cozy, a genuine Chinese restaurant. The owner/head chef was a top chef in China so you know it's great and authentic food. Clean place with a daily lunch buffet, Fridays also has a dinner buffet. Stop in if you want to try some delicious and authentic food.

jim campbell

Ran out of bbq spare ribs and lomain was all veggies.

Journey Inwards

The ONLY Chinese Restaurant in Wisconsin that serves HALAL (KOSHER OR ZABIHA) beef and chicken meats (confirmed by staff). Excellent Service, Super clean Restaurant and Delicious Food. We tried their General TSO Chicken, which is sweet and mild spicy, lightly battered fried, savory juicy chicken chunks, in yumilicious orange sauce with rice of your choice. Mongolian beef, with rice, is thinly hand crafted beef slices cuts, with sauteed onions, peppers and coated in a viscous delicious mix of salty soy sauce and sweet black sesame sauce. Super speedy service, always takes less than 10 mins to see piping hot, fresh food to the table. Their chinese style donuts are super amazing! Restroom/Bathroom/Toilets are all nice and clean. Plenty of tables and booths seating. Lots of parking spaces available, and easy access to highways are always a big plus. They also have a drive through. And Fortune cookies are always interesting :)

Mike Broskowski

Very happy we stumbled upon this restaurant. Great food.

Brian Baker

Spectacular food. Try the noodle platter (HOT) or the salt pepper fish, both are amazing. Service is average. But the open kitchen is fun, the kids love watching the chefs at work, and you can see them using real fresh vegetables and quality ingredients. It's all about the food.

brittney levenhagen

Inexpensive buffet and they are good about clearing your empty plates quickly. It isn't a big buffet, but the food they do have is yummy. I've taken a lot of people here for lunch to try.
