My wife and I really enjoy buffet restaurants. We try at least one wherever we travel. This buffet is, I believe, the best one we've ever had the good fortune to randomly select on our travels.Most of our experience is based on 'Chinese' buffet restaurants in the NY/NJ/CT/MA region. Compared to those, the number of different foods served here is better than average. What impressed us most were the types of foods offered and the rare high quality of everything we ate. Most buffets we've been to offer mostly the same options (General Tso's chicken, coconut shrimp, chicken skewers, crab legs, fried rice, lo mein, wontons, braised salmon, 'seafood' stuffed things, a roast, sushi, grill, limited salads, etc.). Those things existed here, but there was much more we've never seen before in other buffets: different types of steamed buns, Italian themed pastas, roasted meats, lobster rolls, and a lot more I can't recall now.Truly, EVERYthing we ate tasted VERY good. If I have to critique, probably the least delicious thing I ate was an egg roll that tasted merely average. The different sushis and sashimis were very flavorful and fresh. The fried foods were crisp outside and juicy inside. The meats were tender and flavorful. The salad selections were fresh and tasty. The grill produced especially delicious fare. The 'Chinese' foods were much better than in most 'Chinese' restaurants. I can't rave enough about how much we enjoyed the food; we ate far more than usual and far more than we should have just because we enjoyed the tastes we experienced.The restaurant was very busy, about 3/4 full, when we ate here, and at no time were any trays of food left empty or gone stale; food was refreshed rapidly. The servers were very attentive as well.This restaurant deserves more reviews so others can know about it too. We just happened to be passing through Scranton on I-81 when we needed supper, and selected this place at random using our GPS/map program (sorry TripAdvisor, we didn't use you that time!). I was dubious that it was far more highly rated (4+) than the usual buffet (3 to 3.5), and I was expecting the usual dingy, stale-smelling buffet restaurant with typical fare. We were so glad we ate here that we considered rerouting our return trip so that we could come here again, as we live far away.

We've been to China Palace Inn,several times.They're food is excellent,the place is always clean and the servers are friendly.I asked to have a dish that was not on the menu and they made it exactly how I wanted it! Not many restaurants will do that.I will say,they make this dish as good as any Chinese restaurants in Chinatown,in NY! The first time they made it for me,I had to tell the server to tell the cook,he did an excellent job making it! We have also had other dishes there and all were very good.Needless to say we've been back almost every week.Great food,great prices,nice portions and great service.

3. China One
Reviewed By filetdafunk
We've been going to China one for many years and are always very satisfied.Their food is always fresh and made to order.Great Chinese take out! Although they do have limited seating,like any other take out restaurant.The decor is typical as well,not a place you'd want to go for sit a down dinner,unless you're there for a quick meal.They offer free delivery as well.We live less than a mile from them and most of the time it's delivered within 45 minutes.If you're looking for great Chinese food,especially for take out,this is the place to go.
