Be careful Con Artists!

by Jane1975 at Citysearch

If you use a debt or credit card they will over charge you! You must check your account to make sure they haven't given themselves a HUGE tip!

  • Cons: Will steal from you

Fantastic Chinese Food!

by Jobirr at Citysearch

Today was my first visit to this restaurant. I can say without a doubt that Fire Wok has the best chinese buffet food that I have had in the Kansas City area. You will especially love this place if you like sweet chinese food items. Even the hot and sour soup was alittle bit sweet. I highly recommend the food. The atmosphere is standard chinese buffet fare. My only complaint would be the parking. Almost all of the parking around the restaurant has time limits like 15 min. Lunch time can be a challenge to park. However even a two block walk is worth it!

  • Pros: Taste and Quality of food
  • Cons: Parking

Soooooo Bad

by bbh2808 at Citysearch

Seriously, the other reviews must be from the owners. Everything was terrible, staff was nice, parking sucked.

The only Chinese buffet

by gstrole at Citysearch

Nothing compares to this place. I hate any other chinese buffet. Everything tastes perfect and yes the crab rangoon is THE BEST! I've never had seating issues, but I eat dinner there not lunch. The staff is great. I've taken people here who won't go back to any other place.

  • Pros: AMAZING FOOD
  • Cons: not as cheap as other places but for good reason

One of the best Chinese buffets around

by duff80 at Citysearch

Happened to be driving by this place the other night and we stopped to eat. Neat location in downtown Mission, but parking isn't great.

Restaurant had a nice atmosphere?one reviewer called it romantic?and the food was all very good. This place was much bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside! I was particularly impressed with their General's Chicken and Crab Rangoon?the two measuring sticks of any buffet, in my mind. Interestingly, their General's Chicken featured the name of some general other than General Tso?the name you usually see at Chinese buffets.

Price was reasonable and included soda pop (fill your own) and the staff was friendly. Please note that you pay before being seated and there was no soft-serve ice cream machine.

REVISION: I'm dropping to four-stars just because we eat here all the time and I've come to wish they had more variety. They have added ice cream. Still a very good buffet, but I can imagine better. As for the user who complained about the overcharge on the credit card, I've had the "authorization" charge be higher than the price, but by the time it clears the bank it's always the right amount ? don't know why this happens. They often cross out the tip section on my credit card receipt, so I can't imagine them trying to "inflate" tips.

  • Pros: Great food. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Polite staff.
  • Cons: Parking and seating time were minor annoyances.
