Mom and I used to do that all the time.
If you are not a huge meal eater, one or two appetizers is more than
enough split two ways, and saves a LOT of $$$ on eating out.

"good chinese buffet" is an oxymoron. Chinese food is just not
intended to sit around in steam trays. For a cuisine that developed
the sizzling hot pot, a buffet is a terrible idea.

Now dim sum are another matter. Any tripe with garlic sauce???

The closest thing we have around here like that are packages of mixed

There's a Chinese restaurant not far from me with a good lunch buffet.
The hours are pretty limited, the food selection is limited, and it is
popular, so the food turnover is very high. Some of the dishes seem to
get replaced every few minutes. That's as good as "cooked to order",
since a platter of food will sit on your table for much longer than that
while people eat their fill. For most of the day there is no buffet,
and the food is cooked to order and served.

There's an Asian buffet, also not far from me. The hours are very long,
and they have nothing besides the buffet. The one time I went, there
weren't many customers, so the food turnover wasn't high. Worse yet, at
their most expensive time, they offered 150 dishes!

Buffet only, 150 dishes, sounds like Todai. They have an entire
island that's seafood only. I'm not a buffet fan, serve yourself
dining is too much like staying home.

Yes, preparing such things would be a real pain. Some things
could be made ahead--or even could be left over. Oh! That
probably would not be a welcome thought to a purist!
