@candiselin86 Domino’s in the US is strictly takeout or delivery 😭 The seafood buffet only costs 169rmb per person, which comes down to about $23 US dollars.

I always eat there when I come back to China. #china #chinesefood #chinese #foodie #seafood #buffet #lifeontiktok #tiktokpartner #中国 #中国菜 #vlog #travel
