I give my props where it's deserved the food here is delicious also they have a good variety of options to choose from but the only things is they need a flat rate because they have the Chinese ladies working there looking at you plate 🍽 🤔 like they are calculating every shrimp you take every grain rice or noodles 🍜 you take calculating it then adding the amount of plates you take that was ridiculous if they get a flat rate and let people eat comfortable maybe more people might go there that made my family and I so uncomfortable because everytime you look at the ladies there eyes are straight on your plate then writing on there note pads

This buffet was such a great experience! The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious with a great variety of options to choose from. The chicken was especially flavorful and cooked perfectly.

The desserts were also amazing and definitely worth saving room for. I would highly recommend trying the soft serve ice cream — it was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, everything from the food to the service was enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Food is trash. A health inspector needs to come and check this place out. Came during lunch, offerings were cheap. Seafood was questionable. The food was clearly sitting around because it was dry. The only food that wasn't dry was the food in sauce and those foods were soggy. I dont understand how this place is open. They should only open for dinner and on days that are profitable for them. Should charge price up front as well. They charge after you have eaten so they can try to get a tip out of you to pay the staff. Disgusting practices and management of this business.

I came here last Friday with my family (son and father). We came at 2:30pm. It was not packed but not empty. We were seated before paying which i thought was odd for a buffet restaurant, usually you pay first. I should’ve known it was a red flag. We sit down, we had three plates each, wasn’t even a full 30minutes and my the waitress brought us our check “thank you, take your time) while we were just feeding our toddler and chatting. Very rude. Soda was flat and horrible. The food section does not justified the pricing. Also no diaper changing station! After ten minutes we got up to pay because we felt rushed and watched. $70 on two people. Because they charge you for your drinks, $4-$5. And per person, baby was free. We basically went and spent $70 on Chinese food we could’ve ordered at our local Chinese restaurant!

The food is not good, the price is crazy, I stop at 3:00 pm with a friend and they charge me 70 dollars for two plates, is not dirty or something like that, but does not worth the price, I think is abusive, really disappointed, I will. Never come back again.

Was passing by the area and decided to go for chinese buffet. Theres a lot of variety to choose from. The food is alright. Can't really complain.. they need to do something about their fountain drinks though. I ordered a coke and it tastes like watered carbonated cough syrup with extra syrup (because it of the sweetness). Definitely wasnt coca-cola.

The price ($27.99) for dinner is crazy, especially when expected to eat off of paper plates. The food is horrible (crablegs included). The only foods that was tolerable was the honey chicken, white rice and steak off the hibachi grill. Everything else was mediocre. Service was normal being that there's little service needed at a buffet.

I have been coming this place for years I mean years 10-15 maybe more. They have been doing pretty good. They have many variety of food. I always find good stuff to eat. Even I brought my friends and they always find what they like and get full :) I love their hi bachi section. I always made my own plate and they cook it for me. If you are around the neighborhood definitely you should visit this buffet.

All my son wanted for his high school graduation celebration was a dinner with close friends and family at his favorite buffet place. He specifically said “No party”. The staff was very accommodating. They allowed me to get there earlier and decorate the tables. There were 27 adults and 4 kids there. Everyone got up multiple times to eat. My guests had no complaints. Ken was the male staff members who took my reservation and he was very nice. Our waitress that night was Amy and she was very nice and sweet as well. She was on top of keeping our cups filled with the refills. That was a perk the little ones loved. I also had a couple of vegan guests there and they loved the selections that they could choose from. So overall everything was great. My only con was normally when we go there are glass plates but when we went on this day it was plastic plates. We’ll definitely go back because my son really likes this place.
