Going to a chinese buffet, but I'm veggie and fussy, only want rice. Will I still get charged the whole price for an all you can eat buffet? Or is there a separate kind of menu thing? Confused!

No they'll charge you.
People like you are just good earners for them.
At any 'all you can eat' place, the food is produced very cheaply and they account for things by 'covers' meaning person who eats a meal. The restaurant would be losing money by having you come in and pay say £5 for a bowl of rice when they could have someone sit in the same seat at the same time and pay £20 for the buffet.

most places that are buffet still have a separate menu for those dining that arent going to have the buffet. you may want to give the restaurant a call first and double check so you wont end up surprised

they usually have a "normal menu" to order from and it would be much cheaper to buy from that rather than pay for the whole buffet menu, unless you go halfs with a friend, they have what they want and they get you a plate of veggie rice.

I concur with SPARKLYTHINGS most restaurants still have the standard menu. We have Ryan's and for the longest I hated eating off buffets that is until I noticed my friends going back until they were full and I'm stuck with just a single entree dish.

A good Chinese buffet restaurant would have sufficient selection of different dishes to allow you to only have items suitable for a vegetarian. They will tell you which are and you can pick those. mind you you are missing the best thing if they do a good crispy roast duck

If all you want is rice I am sure they will do that for you for the normal price of a rice. Kinda defeats the object of going to all you can eat though!

e) sushi, buffet, & $a million.ninety 9 ought to on no account seem in a similar sentence. until of path the sentence is going something like: guy dies of unexplained reasons after ingesting at an All-You-Can-consume $a million.ninety 9 Sushi Buffet.

Why would you even go to to it if you don't want to eat any of it? However, I'm sure that if you told the staff you only wanted a plate of rice and notheinf else, you would probably only be carged for that.
