Chow Time is pretty good. The food is usually fresh and typical of China buffet restaurants. There is a small all-you-can-eat sushi bar. Most of the employees are Chinese so communication is limited and sometimes they don't know what to do when you talk to them. We're in the South and Southerners are friendly so that's the best way to manage communication issues. The hostess for the past few years is American. The restaurant needs a remodeling and a good scrub, but otherwise it's a good quick place to eat.

My mother and I enjoyed our late lunch. We drove over 80 miles to dine in. They have a nice variety of food. My favorite is Sushi which is always fresh. I also love to watch the Koi fish swim to the top when they think that you're going to feed them. The little pond sits in the front of the restaurant as you enter. I look forward to my next visit to Statesboro for lunch at Chow Time Buffet.
