L & D Chinese Buffet, Helena

This is the ONLY Chinese reataurant in Helena that we like! The price of the buffet is reasonable and the food is always hot and fresh. There are other, fancier Chinese places in town...but you will be spending more money for a lesser product if you do not eat here.

Having homes in the SF Bay area and Helena, I'm know and am used to good Chinese food with variety. I love this place because I can always eat a bucketful of broccoli and other vegetables cooked in authentic sauces. The staff greets you and seats you, you serve yourself. I eat there every other day when I'm in town and have consistently seen the same faces for a year and a half, always friendly and smiling when they see me come through the door. Chicken, beef, pork, imitation crab (it's fish and it's fine) and real crab legs are there along with a plethora of veggies, soups, fruits, and desserts. What else can one want. Puts Jade Garden to shame, this place is real. When I can eat like this for $10, I don't care about the ambiance. It is what it is, and it's great to me. Reminds me of wonderful small Chinese joints back in California with several styles of food, not all bland Cantonese. They'll always get my business, been going here since 1999. And there's one in Butte, too, maybe more. L&D stands for lunch and dinner.
