Next month will mark two years since Joliet Patch last wrote about Super China Buffet.

In August 2020, Joliet Patch reported that the long-time Joliet restaurant was back in business after taking five months off amid the new coronavirus outbreak across Illinois.

Since 1997, Super China Buffet has been on Joliet's West Jefferson Street next to the Rax Roast Beef, according to owner Steve Zheng. The buffet at the long-time Joliet restaurant includes American, Chinese and Mexican cuisine, Zheng told Patch.

"We were always going to reopen," Zheng told Joliet Patch's editor. "Yesterday we had a lot of people."

Super China Buffet is carryout or dine-in. It does not do deliveries.

The restaurant's business card proclaims, "The Best Buffet in City. We are serving 100 percent fresh fruit smoothies!"
