Eat meat and seafood, avoid rice and noodles.

Even then, it's difficult to really get much for your money at a buffet, even if you gorge yourself. Buffets buy the cheapest bulk deals on low quality foods that they can get their hands on in order to maximize profit.

because remember everyone:
it's not about eating what you like, it's about beating the buffet

I never really care as much about 'winning' at Chinese buffet, since honestly, everyone is a winner at a Chinese buffet.

My faves are:

-sesame chicken
-lo mein
-wontons
-wontons
-wontons
-wontons
-fukken wontons

and banana pudding, because every self-respecting chinese buffet has banana pudding for whatever weird reason.

I wish there was a chinese buffet around here. The only thing nearby is a japanese steakhouse.

That article is really great. The only thing I'd add is to get high beforehand.
