PF Chang's Chinese Bistro
PF Chang's is part of a national chain of bistro-style restaurants of the same name. The décor at PF Chang's is upscale with an Asian flair. Large murals of artistic brushwork depicting life in rural china adorn one wall, and replicas of terra cotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, stand guard as you eat. Unlike smaller, locally owned buffet style Chinese restaurants, the food is served family-style. Large servings are brought to the table and can be shared between guests. The cuts of meat used to prepare the dishes are noticeably high in quality. Offerings include Chinese restaurant staples such as beef and broccoli and orange chicken. Additionally, food bowls that combine smaller servings and rice are on the menu.

Panda Chinese Restaurant
Although Panda Chinese Restaurant has a menu that patrons may order from, the size of the buffet is the true draw for this restaurant. Panda Chinese Restaurant's buffet includes two large buffet bars filled with Chinese favorites, including lo mein, fried rice and traditional dishes such as General Tso's spicy chicken. Additionally, there is a full salad bar and a dessert bar. Children's menus receive a different price than adult menus.

Hunan Chinese Restaurant
Hunan is another Chinese favorite among Rogers residents and those traveling into the city. While Hunan's offers a buffet, it also features take-out meals at a drive-through window. For vegetarians, Hunan's offers a limited vegetarian menu and can specially prepare traditional dishes using tofu rather than beef, chicken or pork.

King Buffet
Located in a shopping center just off North Walton Boulevard, the King Buffet is known for an expansive buffet table that includes all-you-can-eat seafood, with crab legs on Sunday afternoons. Other features on the buffet include sushi, peel-and-eat shrimp, shellfish and oysters. The buffet also includes a range of traditional Chinese dishes, including pot stickers, egg rolls and egg drop soup. The décor is a muted pink and green that is reminiscent of Midwestern cafeteria-style dining. However, the brass trim and etched glass dividers are decidedly Asian in feel.
