I'd be interested in Chinese/Asian lunch buffets in and around Chicago.

Surprisingly, I can't think of any place in Chinatown itself. Lots of
dim sum and lunch specials, but no buffets.

There must be a few gems hidden in various neighborhoods. If you know
of any, please post. All pointers appreciated.

I don't know Chicago but I've found that the Dim Sum offerings
at some Chinese buffets around here are quite good. It's not as
spontaneous as choosing from circulating carts and there is, as
always in buffets, a tendency to overeat and take too many
things at one time :-)

One to avoid is on Ashland near Wellington, next to the post office,
behind a Boston Market.

It's VERY seafood heavy, VERY greasy, and everything tastes like it was
cooked in the same pot in the same oil, including the desserts.
