Hibachi Buffet & Grill in Chantilly probably has a few more Americanized Chinese items than other places.

Golden Buffet Rt 1 Alexandria and in Bailey’s Crossroads

Peter Pan in Fairfax Circle used to be really good. I haven't been there in years but Mr. Google says they're still around. Maybe someone else can chime in if they're eaten there recently.

Springfield has the Blue Pearl Buffet. I haven’t been but they advertise all you can eat.

HAHA

My oldest's first college paper was on how our family finds Chinese Buffets on every trip. LOL

I hope you find one!

Looking for recent Chinese buffet recs! The aim is not honestly anything fancy but a sort of traditional American Chinese buffet but where the food is good. Not dim sum not hot pot. Old school American Chinese buffet. My elderly dad is visiting and growing up in the Midwest we would always go to Chinese buffets as a sort of bonding thing for the two of us so it’s special. I’d like to find one to take him while he is here. We are in Fairfax.
