Guest Reviews
The food is excellent. We didn’t get the buffet. The pork bbq lomein is 100% delicious.. and my gf loved the vegetable Lomein! Little pricey but worth it. The staff is very courteous!
If you haven't been to Tin Loong in a while, GO! Under New Ownership. The food was fresh, abundant, and sooo soooo good! We got hibacchi and sushi w/salad. No dessert (too full) Service was friendly and attentive. Will def be back! YUM!
We’ve been coming to Tin Loong for years, mostly because it’s the only Chinese restaurant close by. But recently the food has been absolutely phenomenal. The staff is always pleasant. The building is clean. Great management!
Can’t say enough about the new ownership!! Food is absolutely amazing , everything was fast, fresh and delicious. Everyone was super nice and gave incredible service! Highly recommend
Ipul was the most entertaining and fun chef I have ever experienced in my 40 years - we will be back next time we are in Georgia!!! Zoi was the kindest and most attentive server- just amazing experience overall!
Food was very good. We came on a whim on a Sunday when they have their Buffet. Our server was excellent. He was attentive, checked in with is often and was quick to refill drinks. The buffet had an interesting array of food, but I think it was worth it for $16 per person. On ¼ of the buffet, there was your typical Chinese food. The next ¼ looked more southern inspired with fried okra, Mac N Cheese, southern rolls, and mashed potatoes with gravy. The last ½ of the buffet was all dessert featuring jello cubes, brownies, and more. If the buffet isn't to your liking, you can order from their two menus. One menu that is available to order from is their Chinese menu. I didn't look at the Chinese menu as closely because the buffet seem to have nearly everything that was on the menu. The other is their Japanese menu which is ½ sushi & sashimi and the other ½ is hibachi. I wish they had ramen or curry, but sadly they do not. The resin/wax on the tables were coming up, so we thought it was dirty, but it was just the plastic coming up. There is a 3.5% service fee for using card to pay with. Overall, a pleasant experience!
I recently visited this Chinese buffet and was pleasantly surprised by the value for money. The food was fresh, and there was a good variety of dishes including noodles, rice, vegetables, and meat options. It’s a great spot if you're looking for a quick and affordable meal. The staff were polite and the atmosphere was casual. Don't expect anything fancy, but for the price, it's definitely worth it
