Neither I or my family will ever come back to this place. For the record my party of 7 thought the food was delicious. However this was the worst restaurant experience any of us had. We arrived shortly after 3 pm which was still considered lunch. Everyone in our party made their rounds sampling 1 - 2 pieces of this or a small portion of that. And like most gatherings we sat enjoying each others company as well as the food ( several were out of town visiting). Well... without warning or at least a polite heads up...they apparently switched to dinner just before 4 pm. One of our guests had brought back one last plate of samples that included 2 hot and spicy shrimps (the jumbos still in the Shell with claws). Before they began eating the waitress for our section immediately came over and asked if he was paying for dinner. Not sure what she meant he politely said no he was here for lunch. The waitress then said that the 2 shrimp were for dinner only and if he was going to eat them then he was going to be charged for lunch as well as dinner. Confused... my guest said no hes not going to eat them then. The waitress then said he needed to give them to her and proceeded to take them off of his plate and left. Two members of our party hadnt gone for dessert yet and sat there awkwardly contemplating if they were even allowed to while the waitress glared at our table. Its important to note that our section was empty accept for our party of 7 and one table of two seated near the front. Made to feel like we were nothing more than "murican gluttons" my party decided to wait for the check pay it then leave. After we paid for 7 lunches ( keep in mind we were only there for an hour...average time listed is 1 hour 10minutes) we got up to leave. The waitress then rushed over and with a nervous look on her face asked how everything was. Disgusted with our service and treatment most just said good under our breaths except one who said "it was very good until you took the shrimp of his plate...that was very rude!!! Now... I get it that buffets want to protect themselves from diners coming in... paying for lunch and then staying for all hours. BUT this was shit pure and simple. I totally admit that I dont know if the waitress took it upon herself to "take the shrimp from the plate" OR if it was the manager on duty who TOLD her to do it. Regardless it was rude and a SHITTY way to conduct a business. Now I know that the majority of you reading this review dont care and will shove anything you can into your gaping maws....but for the rest...if you listen closely enough... youll hear the quiet plink plink of my two cents hitting the greasy poorly washed plate that is this restaurant. Bon appetit. But for me...the next time I have family visit Ill just order a pizza.

Pathetic service. Cold food. Went this Monday. Worst experience ever. They dont have basic sense to mark there each item and mention which dish has which meat in it. In our religion we are prohibited to eat ham/pork/bacon. It was written baked potatoes with cheese i took and started eating it. When i have eaten half of it my American friend told me it has ham chunks in it. I was like what the.....omg! Whose on earth told them to put ham chunks in cheese potatoes and if they put ham init WHY DIDNT THEY MENTION ON TOP OF THE DISH.THIS IS NO WAY. This is rediculious way to spoils ones faith. They should respect other religions. There is diversity of people in America and people come around the world come to eat there. Secondly i was keep on asking to a lady, who was just started marking each dish with name when we start eating, I was asking her to tell me what meat is in it and what dish is it and she was telling me in chinese( which i cant understand) after asking her couple of times i feel ambarrass to ask her again and then this ham incident happened. They didnt even provide small plate to put spoon and knives on it. I put mine on tissue papers which i hv used to clean my face. NEXT TIME ILL NEVER BE GOING TO HIBACHI BUFFET EVER.

One of the best places in Harrisburg. Its a chill atmosphere and the people are nice enough. They tend to leave you alone to do your thing (it is a buffet) and its a fun place to go as a group and price is great for what you get too. They have a great hibachi grill, which is worth the price of admission alone, and decent sushi. The crab is great and the duck they have sometimes also. They also have some comfort foods like pizza and baked fish too. These, as well as some of the Chinese dishes are the same as every other buffet - average. In addition, they have great iced tea (the unsweetened one) which makes all the difference for me haha. Relative to other cities this might be a 2 or 3 star, but if you live in central Pennsylvania this is a place you cant skip.

This place is honestly awsome, my friends and I go here about once a week or so, the sushi is fresh and you can see the chef making it. The hibachi is amazing and again, you get to watch them make it. Ive never in my 15 or so times being there ever, and I mean ever gotten any kind of attitude. Its simple, be kind and polite and they are the same back. Every worker Ive spoken to there is polite. Its a very clean place, especially the bathroom. What I havent seen anyone say on here is that if you go during the weekdays it is cheaper, and on Friday and Saturday the price goes up...... but its literally only about a three dollar differance....... its not bad at all. I personally love this place and congrats to the staff for winning over a few more regulars.

I had a SERVER DEMAND that I tip before leaving. I was with several of my friends and all of them tipped several dollars (even though 2 of them threw up the meal an hour later from FOOD POISONING). I was about to leave after writing in my total and signing the check when the server came up to me and said "check not complete". I said "What? I finished writing the sales receipt." She pointed to the tip line and repeated "Check not complete!". I asked "Are you demanding that I tip you!?" She simply looked away distraught and repeated "Check not complete." I did not tip that day and I will not be returning to this restaurant that seems to both undervalue their employees and customers to the point of illegally demanding a tip at the end of a receipt.

Waitress comes to my family and I and starts touching our food saying "Dinner!" repeatedly. I then ask her why she is touching my food. She then starts touching it more aggressively. There after another waitress comes and says we will be charged more money because we are eating the dinner food. I have no problem paying more but how am I supposed to know about what I can and cannot eat. I thought it was all you can eat and that we were allowed to eat whatever we wanted. The waitress should have explained this to us when we had arrived while taking the order for our drinks. This is my first and last time coming here because of the complete disrespect by the staff in putting there hands in our food . The taste of the food is not all that anyway.
