Review Summary

Many diners describe Buffet Chinois Fu Lam as a fast, reliable option for takeout with quick pickup, friendly and courteous service, generous portions, and reasonable prices. The place operates as a counter rather than a buffet, and photos can be misleading, with orders arriving hot and tasting consistent over time. Beef with broccoli is praised for tenderness and seasoning, while some items such as wontons, egg rolls, and certain fried dishes can be greasy, with thick wrappers or overcooked pasta in some combos. A recurring quibble is that chow mein is often swapped for chop suey when ordered, a quirky but persistent issue. Overall, the experience is described as delicious and dependable, with fast service and attentive staff that encourage return for familiar American Chinese flavors.View restaurant profile
