If you're like us, you enter any buffet with a little devil on one shoulder and a little angel on the other.

The little fella dressed in white says, "sample the fruits of this lovely cuisine, but take it slow, kid." Meanwhile, the sizzling hot demon on the other side urges you to go back and back and back, leading you to stuff yourself silly.

This city is stuffed with hearty lunch buffets of many different ethnicities, but OnMilwaukee.com readers chose China Gourmet, 117 E. Wells St., as their overall favorite.

For years, China Gourmet has been Downtown Milwaukee's largest Chinese buffet and that tradition continues in its new location along the river. There are at least three tables packed with food and during the busy lunch hour the food is as fresh as can be.

Interestingly, The King and I, which serves Thai food, and Casablanca, a Middle Eastern restaurant, gave China Gourmet a good run for its money.

Runners-up:
2. The King & I
3. Casablanca
4. Maharaja
5. Thai Palace
6. East Garden

10. Harbor 550
