NO 1 CHINA BUFFET – Chinese
A North Florida Avenue all-you-can-eat where the seafood side does the heavy lifting: baby oysters, mussels, shrimp, crawfish, fish and stuffed clams sit alongside the standards - beef with broccoli, moo goo gai pan, Hunan shrimp, roast pork fried rice - with a Cajun seafood section worked into the line. The hot and sour soup gets singled out for actually bringing heat. The room is brighter than the format suggests, walls painted with oversized fish, and the family running it are a large part of why regulars keep coming. Open daily, later on weekends.
