- Join The MacMaster in Orlando Florida at an All You Can Eat Chinese Buffet. The cost of eating out in The USA has increased immensely. America was once a cheap place to take a holiday or vacation but these days the price of eating at restaurants make taking a holiday in places like Florida out of a lot of people's price range. A buffet was the ideal place to eat as you can fill up and eat all you want with the family. Chinese Buffet in Florida, again, not cheap but cheerful.
If you are looking for somewhere to eat in Orlando Florida USA then give this all you can eat Chinese Buffet a try.

Another brill vlog 😊 on looks alone it looked ok. Can't wait for the next one... sitting under my duvet watching you in the warmth, your vlogs cheer me up 😊
"Snug at a bug in a rug" 👍😊
I’ve came to the conclusion and accepted nothing is cheap in this world now 😂
Looked a lot Better than the Chinese Buffet i had in Manchester China town on Saturday. Altho i had proper plates, bowls, & Cutlery. Plastic stuff with food is a Big no from me. 😋😋😋😋😋👍
We've been to this very buffet restaurant a couple of times and really enjoyed it. It was full on both occasions when we were there. The plates were proper plates and cutlery too, not sure why they've turned to polystyrene! 🤷🏻♂️ Another great video Lee!👍
I live close by and frequent this place. From my understanding, the disposable plates and utensils is to keep Covid spread to a minimal.
waiting for the premiere! love buffets
Never ever have I seen a buffet with Styrofoam plates and plastic silverware pretty sad also you can't see what kind of food there is who's ever doing that filming
Buffet restaurants are great places to build up your immune system. Love them!
Looks a fantastic selection has made me hungry watching.Look forward to watching more have a great week 🙂👍
I’m lovin’ these Orlando Vlogs!Keep it up. 👍😄
I would never think of Orlando as a place that would have good Chinese food. Maybe Montery Park, California or for sure New York city. New York city has the largest Chinese population of any city in the world outside of Asia.
Hey man, how have I just discovered your channel? I've bingewatched all your American vlogs so far. Absolutely love the channel you seem pretty awesome too. I love your energy and the content.
Hey Thanks. 🕶️👍🏼👍🏼
I built that sign behind him. Cool. 😊
I love Panda Express when I’m in America , quick and easy and always tasty
Hi,,, I see that this video is 2 years old,, My friend, it is true,, when I visit Orlando kissimmee,,, I always go to that same Chinese restaurant, it is one of the best,,, it has excellent food dishes
Yeah lee my 1st experience of a Chinese buffet was right where you are now and to be fair I rated it very well if I remember I would of definitely give it a 9/10 to be fair it was lovely
Good that you’re mindful of expenses while traveling. The journey alone, there and back, is a good chunk of it.
I've eaten there in 2023! I would rate it at 6.5 out of 10 because the food was hot and I went late say 10 pm
always enjoy your interviews especially the Empire Diner in NY!
Whenever I went to the States I loved Orange chicken was my favourite chinese food there, have never found it in the UK
At least you tried it. In my experience I have found cheap buffet places full of promise but seldom deliver. However there are always exceptions but may be this was not one of them. For me the best videos you do are the food ones. The only issue we always feel hungry afterwards hence the increase in my weight. Anyway great channel. Many thanks.
Can’t say I’ve ever had a Chinese in America. I always like the aim for places that Are like typical American ., loving these usa vlogs.. can’t wait to get back over there
Absolutely right the Chinese isn’t the same this side of the pond. For $17.95 they could’ve at least had real plates and cutlery. Hot food melts polystyrene.
i totally agree with you, Lee. Yes, you can find Chinese Buffets in the UK that is worth 10 pounds or even less. The last time i ate was just 7 pounds in Manchester Chinatown and food choices even better.
This isn't the most glamourous part of the American dining experience and it certainly makes us look like total gluttons, but the American Chinese buffet is amazing when you just want to let yourself totally go.
Eh up Lee hows tha doin. I'm always left hungry watching your videos. Thank you for the mention. I were bloke who messaged hi from missouri. Keep up the good work and remember I'm not telling anyone that you and me are twins. Maybe I'm the snack master lol.
Lol. 😂
The alarm bells would have been raised straight away for me. 6pm and not very busy at all. For me, buffets can't win either way. Too many people, and I worry about cleanliness. Empty, and I worry about the food being stood for too long!
Went to this one 3 years ago. Good but not exceptional then, seems the same now. In those days had proper plates and cutlery. Avoided dessert too, but there again normally do. Did like the kiosks though. Score seems about right.
Really enjoying this Trip Lee, hopefully get you back to Ireland before the summer
THanks Stephen. :0)
Went to International drive and it was. Cheap then,l think a $1 to £2 or the other way around it was brilliant with two kids in tow, many years ago.Anyway Lee loved the vlog on the intro behind you is a sticker MSG. Love a good old Chinese buffet my marks 7/10 saved a washing up machine for the cutlery and plates 😂 Many thanks Lee❤. From Richard and Tanya from Southampton ❤
Even though i've just had my tea you just made me hungry again lee!!.
My first MacMaster premiere. The rice looked fluffy & lots of dishes too, but not sure about paper plates. Loved the video.
Think I prefer the look of panda express and not buffet, new to your channel and really enjoy your content 👍
Chinese cuisine is delicious I prefer the one in Douglas, Ga small town their food is authentic.
In Florida you have to go for the early bird menu. Usually 2 sittings starting at 4pm. For those retired there who don’t want a late night. Early bird special
Hot chips on top of a plate of Chinese now that's two cultures coming together . Awesome review mate 👍
Chop seuy is what I cooked at home today. Very tasty. 👍
One of the best Chinese’s I’ve ever had was at Epcot centre in the Chinese area, chicken Szechuan was absolutely delicious! I’ll never forget that dish and have tried to replicate it without success😂😂a real pity prices have shot up for average food there too…..
Another great video Lee. I’m going to Orlando in June and all these videos help. Might be good if you could do at least one review in a “decent” place so we can make price and quality comparisons. But keep the videos coming mate. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Found an amazing amazing unbelievable chippy in florida. Vlog dropping in 2 days. Owned by English and Cooke by the hands of Yorkshire lasses.
Lee I agree, lived in South Carolina for 17 years and still never found a good Chinese...like we had in the UK as a take out on Fridays !!!
Went to Uk December and had a great take out at the same one I used before we moved.
Im sure Charlotte North Carolina have goods ones and the bigger cities like Atlanta and NYC...great videos on I Drive ...🙂
Eating off a polystyrene plate with plastic utensils food which has been hanging around for ages isn't really my cup of tea. Chinese should really always be freshly cooked.
My local all you can eat cooks to order.
Plates, utensils hygienic... Yes BUT in 2022 we should think of the planet!
Cheers

Hi Lee Chinese Buffet’s in NJ precovid prices were 12.00 per person I haven’t gone post pandemic so it seems a little high ,one of my favorite foods is also Chinese
By the way The Fortune Buffet in Wharton NJ is my local fave. Another excellent vlog . You’re becoming an expert in this format take care
You can’t complain at the selection Lee it’s huge
Best Chinese I ever has was when I lived in Panama,Panama in their China Town. Yummy !!
Or Had.
The disposables were a complete turnoff. The food looked just ok. The price was too high. I don't have to be nice, so 4.8.
Oh, the first The MacMaster video I watched was Europe's Largest Chinese Buffet. The place and food looked awesome. When you jumped up and ran around looking for your chips in all that great looking Chinese food, you had me in hysterics. I was hooked. 😉
Lol. Thanks Michael. Yeah not a patch on The Manchester Chinese. 😂
Get over to the 192 old Town not sure if they still do the Classic Car Rally on a Saturday Night with all the old Muscle Cars
Still happening. Saturday is the classic car rally from 8.30pm. There’s also a muscle car show but I’m not sure what night.
It's more of a Chinese American cuisine. It's Orlando so the prices are pricey. It would be something to try once. If your all day at the parks and really hungry
That's bad if you have to use plastic forks and knives and foam plates
We ate at this place back in 2017 and it was $8.00! It was really poor and not like the selection you got in the vlog so looks like a little improvement since we last went!
The food all looks very tasty that’s for sure , we have several good Chinese and Asian takeaways and restaurants near where I live in Australia:) great video
You certainly like your sweet & sour chicken Lee 😆 looked great actually made me hungry watching this one 🤤🤤😋
The last time I’ve eaten from paper plates was at a kids party😀. I wouldn’t eat there for free because I very much doubt they throw the food away that’s been sitting under the hot lamps for endless hours on end (or days), so are braver than me. From what I saw food wise I wouldn’t have given it more than 4.5.
Thanks for the video Lee 👍
Fill your boots up Lee 🥾🥡🤣🤣 got to say I never had a good Chinese in America yet!! Once I was very ill with one I had in Los Angeles 🚑 so put me off a bit having a Chinese in America now and I love Chinese!! That was quite expensive for a Chinese Buffet special if you had a family with you, But like everything in the world now as gone up in price, days of cheap as gone 🤷♀️ as for plastic plates and cutlery I get that for safety!! But not wearing a mask at a help yourself Buffet 😷🤧👀not sure about that 🤔 I give it a 6/10 😊👍xx
We went to a Chinese buffet a couple of years when we came……..it was not good! Keep it going mate (from Ilkeston by the way) 👍
Mmm looks like all the bog standard Chinese buffets ,The best ones are when they cook to order set price 🇬🇧🍀👍🏼
Love these travel videos 👍🏽👍🏽
Tip for next time that you travel to the USA 🇺🇸 Lee , take your own knive , fork and spoon …. Just a thought my friend Xx
Nice One Lee . Had Too Goo ."STAY SAFE "
Cheers Dave.
fook me $25 for the privilege's of eating out of a polystyrene plates & cups and plastic knives and forks no thank you , im sure that place has changed its name since 2 years ago
u da man mac excellent review
As you are in orlando, you should try some of the truckstops in the area, some of them are massive. Compare the standard between them and the touristy places. Or do some and compare to ours when your back in good auld blighty.
First off my friend I love your channel, that being said, it’s really hard to go to certain places like Orlando Florida, especially right in the heart of international Drive or Disney Springs and find anything that’s going to be an expensive and good quality. If you want something cheap, you can find it but it’s going to be a poor quality just like a golden corral or a Friendly’s. You simply can’t go to those type of places and get low price good value. That’s actually the going rate in most Chinese buffets all across the United States so it is a good price for here. And for a Chinese buffet, it looked decent which is about as good as you’re going to get. On a sidenote the best Chinese food I’ve ever had is in New York city and Long Island. It’s not real Chinese food it’s Cantonese food done for American tastes. There are plenty of low-cost good quality places to find good food in Florida and all across the United States, you just have to go more off the beaten path. If you and the Silver Fox are ever on Long Island and want to make your way out to Suffolk County, there is a place I can definitely recommend that you would enjoy and not spend an arm and a leg. Keep up the good work my friend look forward to the next video, onwards! Lol plus if you get a chance please check out my TH-cam channel and give it a Subscribe I would appreciate it.✌️♥️
Anyone see the ironic sticker at the beginning of the video on the street sign that said MSG ;)
There used to be a place called China Jade.. We went everytime we were there.. was so good.looks like its something called the juicy crab now...
I love Chinese buffets and I could eat at one almost every day. The thing is they can offer so many different items, but usually they skimp on quality and also temperature of the food (because it sits out for so long it's not hot enough). I love the variety and even if you just find 4 or 5 things you really like, get more of that and enjoy. You mentioned that Chinese buffets are different in the U.K. What would you say are the main differences?
Shocked he never did a video on one.
Tourist gouging at it’s finest. Hopefully you’ll find a small Mom & Pop establishment with fair prices. Happy trails ✌️😎
Get yourself back to Manchester for another round at tops buffet. Went the other day - went the other day, always good food.
Went here a few years ago on our first night of our trip, I didn’t know about the free re-fills so was shocked when the woman just took my drink that I hadn’t finished, I swear the food wasn’t to bad there though
It's on International Drive Orlando. That's the tourist area and they will charge more. If you go to Chinse buffets on Colonial Drive, and other areas away from the tourist areas, it will be a little cheaper. It's still not that expensive for edible food.
It's not cheaper in other Orlando locations. Crazy buffet for example is in west Orlando and they are 18.99 now. This was 2 yrs ago so the price must be 2.00 higher bx now.
Food looks really good. Considering a crappy bought in burger and chips in a pub in U.K. now is usually around £14 I’d say the buffet was good value too.
Food looks good but disappointed that they have used disposable plates & cutlery!
It’s like they can’t be arsed doing the dishes!😬😳
More different types of restaurant please Lee!👍😊🇺🇸
Hmm … didn’t look the best to me tbh but as you say it is what it is . Compared to Vegas prices I think you’re doing well so far and it shows Florida isn’t as cheap as it used to be.
If you’re on holiday do you really want food that is just “ok”? But on the other hand it can take days to get it right and spend $$$ getting to that point.
You are helping by giving an honest, balanced review of what you see , visit and eat.
Maybe try an American buffet breakfast / dinner?
Many thanks as ever for all your hard work
Regards

I agree that the price was too high. I'm watching this video late December 2023 and I live in the US and I can tell you Chinese buffet prices here are still less than that at most other restaurants. Also, I disagree that it was more hygenic. At Costco, they have a system where a machine releases one fork at a time. At the restaurant in this video, everyone is just reaching into a bin of forks. Also, styrofoam and single-use plastics? They suck at environmentalism. At the prices they're charging for the buffet, surely they should be able to afford dishwashers. I think you were generous with your score.
You said it, you get what you pay for, another chain restaurant. Most of that food will be frozen or pre packed very little made fresh. I would keep well clear.
Looks bloody lovely there of a evening 👍
Nice review 😁👍😀 lee
Looked tasty
Looks so yummy one of my fab foods always so great
Believe it or not, the best Chinese Buffet I’ve ever had was in Lancaster Pennsylvania! ( Right. When I think Amish , I ALWAYS think Egg Rolls !!)
I used to live a few miles from this place, back when it was called Mei Bistro, when they offered real plates and utensils. I ate there every week for about a year, when I moved on to another place up the road. (Seriously, I think I tried every Chinese buffet in all of C. Florida during the 13.5 years I lived there). I loved that crab legs were included in this buffet's price! Were they offered when you visited- and ate so painfully little? (Really, you Brits don't know how to chow down line us Yanks). As for quality, I'd rate this buffet as average in quality and the price quite competitive. By the way, have you tried Bill Wong's? It's only a few minutes from where you went, at the corner of Intl. Drive and Oak Ridge Rd. Their food was about the best of any Chinese buffet in all of C.F.!
I struggled to get a decent Chinese in NYC last year, your meal reminds me of Panda Express. Not sure about chips on Chinese food though lol.
Did you try PF Changs?
Coming Soon!
That was the first restaurant I went to when I arrived at Orlando for Fanboy expo, good food, but expensive obviously, come to think of it, pretty much everything in Orlando is expensive, but then again, Orlando is the theme park capital of the world, I mean what do you expect?
Hi Mac, I understand about hygiene and Covid, but I'd still like a real plate especially if I'm paying $20 bucks. No paper plates and plastic knives and forks, unless I'm at a picnic.
Definitely.
Hey Mac, if you're still in Florida and need a restaurant to film, try El Primo in Kissime Florida. It is very close to your location now. Be well and try the Bistec Empanizado. You will love it. Prices are reasonable because this place is for locals and my friends named Mac. Lol.
Long time since I tried a couple of those China Buffet places over there... looks better now as used to always be sadly lacking on anything that had.... meat, all rice,noodles,veg.. never saw the ribs.
Buffets in Uk were much the same years ago but now, far more choice.
You were very generous with that marking. I would have given about 5. Polystyrene plates and cups. Horrible to eat off and dreadful for the environment. Enjoy rest of your holiday...
Hi Lee I was at there same Chinese in 2017 and the food was awful, service was just as bad then when we asked for the bill they had the nerve to put 10 dollars service charge on , better off going to millers down the road better atmosphere & service
You should go to Thailand. 1pound for a fresh street food curry. Coconut ice cream too
Mac master you need to go in the golden Carroll in international drive its also a all you can buffet you should go check it out I've been there to golden Carroll it felt like I was at an all inclusive hotel people pigging out big time put me off 🤣🤣🤣
Daym that brought back memories for me I luv the Orange Chicken and General Tso's Chicken in the States been an age since my last visit
General Tso chicken. Chinese American equivalent to a Birmingham Balti.
5/10 for me on this venue, Lee (and judging by some of the comments here about its dubious health rating, I'm being generous).
Throw-away plates at a 'restaurant'... it's not a McDonald's kids' party! 😀
Didn't like the buffet trays being three deep... people being people, you can imagine the cr@p that ends up in that middle tray from spillage.
Food looked okay. Price was very high - for the quality of buffet.
Keep up the top work. 👍
Choice of items in the buffet looked very credible. I have lived in Asia for more than 20 years - the food looked okay.
You made a bit of a rookie error and filled up on stooge - I would have done for premium items. Like the prawns, ribs and beef items. I was not impressed with plastic cutlery and plates but overall I would give it a 7 - respectable.
It's the sigh of the times & everywhere you go people are facing higher costs which has to be passed on to the consumer..its a vicious circle 🔵. You got your 💰 worth anyway..! Enjoyed the vlog & looking forward to the next...by the way is there a chance you can check out the kfc American 🍗 compare to UK...?? Cheers Mr Macmaster 👍
Been there loads of times, it’s went up in price, always ok nothing special, next visit at that price I think we will give a miss, keep up the great work big man
To get cheap meals on I-Drive, use the coupons some fantastic savings to be made.
NOT THE HEFTY PLATES & PLASTIC FORKS!!!!
Omgggg! I'm like, no, you can't one hand that plate if it's too full!!!
Buffets including this one dont normally have plastic dishes. It's only due to Covid that they are in use.
then dont get your plate soooooooo FULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
was that ice cream self serve and included in the price?
Yes everything is extremely expensive.
Loved the review. I know what you mean about the US chinese food not being as good as the UK. That said - i always thought steaks in the US were much better than the UK. On the cost - again its £20 for a buffet. Really? Im not tight but the US prices seem over the odds for pretty basic food. Onwards !
Looked a bit stodgy Lee. We always went to the Golden Corall. Was the best. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
The grub looked just ok spring rolls did not seem crispy plenty batter round most things.👍👍👍💰💰💰
The spread looks quite good TBH. What’s your opinion on US Chicken though? It’s been said it’s pumped full of chlorine. Is it?
