This is easily among the top Chinese food buffets in the area. It has all the awesome Chinese and Japanese food you could want, at a reasonable price: excellent sashimi, sushi, rolls, Mongolian BBQ, noodle bar, Chinese food galore, crab legs, oysters, lobster, seaweed salad, and of course desserts including the yummy fake ice cream you always get at buffets. What more can you ask for? Plus, if you have kids, they only charge $1.25 per year, up to the adult price - which is really reasonable if you have younger children. The restaurant itself is fairly new on the inside, so everything looks modern and appears to be well-maintained and clean. It had a much better appearance that 99% of all other buffet-type places Ive been to.That appearance includes all of the food, which not only looked good but also seemed to be much higher quality that you would find at your average Chinese food buffet. I didnt notice any cut corners or overly cheap offerings. We came during the weekend on an evening, and I definitely felt like I got an excellent value, consuming mass quantities of different sashimi and lobster claws. If I had more room I would have consumed mass quantities of everything else, also. It all looked delicious. We did not have to wait for seating and had an excellent time. This is definitely on the short list for good places to have dinner, especially if there are guests in town. Five stars and I hope it lasts. There arent many places like this in the area and if my restaurant budget was higher I would go here all the time!

Had the worst experience with the service and the management. They gave us the price over the phone and when we got there they changed the price on us by making it $10 more expensive. When we brought that to their attention, the man at the front desk came to our table and starting arguing about that and eventually started talking loudly and then started shouting at us and everybody was staring at us. It was quite embarrassing. The man was very rude and had bad adittude. He ruined Fathers Day for all of us. We have made our decision to not dine at that restaurant again, and we will report them to the customer bureau for this

Great food all you can eat, I honestly just eat oysters and crab legs. Great Mongolian food and phò soup my daughter loves the chocolate fountain, but wish they had more of kids selection maybe at least just slices of pizza. Great service they keep clearing plates of my table every second, but a quick tip maybe for the owner if your hours say 10 pm closing make sure not all bars are closed at 9:30 people get mad about this or ask the guests if they will like second plates before putting everything away, please.. But overall a nice place to have dinner and eat all you can eat.

The place offers a good variety of cooked seafood dishes. Theres a grill for made to order entrees and a decent sushi bar - it wont be the best (even considering its buffet settings), but at least the fish is fresh and the rolls are not made out of randomly thrown together junk. For desert theres a chocolate fondue fountain. Its... novel, but youll probably run out of things to dip in chocolate pretty quickly. Overall the place hits a nice balance between quality and price - good AYCE food that wont break your wallet.

Ive eaten here many times without a problem. The last time I ate here I was accosted by the sushi chef for accidentally dropping a piece of sushi off of the plate and onto the ice used to keep the dishes chilled. He yelled at me then quickly picked the piece of fish up and threw it away angrily while asking me if I needed his help and if i was ok. I have only had issues like this with the crew that works the stir fry, pho, and sushi counters. Shame on them.

Been here twice. Both times for dinner. First time was for $21 second time for 17.99. Both times were excellent, sushi including sashimi, big crab legs, ginger lobster, shell fish galore. On top of seafood they have it all, quite an assortment, and Mongolian BBQ inc whole steaks. I keep forgetting to try the chocolate fountain next to the fruit. Always so full by then! GREAT VALUE!!!

Sushi, stir fry, bao and classic "Chinese" dishes all in one place! Ive been here a couple times for lunch with my co-workers since its right down the street. I know the quality is not the absolute best but I think it passes for an all you can eat buffet with sushi. The quality could definitely be better but the variety is great for the price so Im giving it 4 stars but I recommend it.

The lunch buffet is cheap and so is most of the food. The pork and beef are very chewy and fatty. The sushi chef and the stir fry chef during the weekday are unfriendly and a little rude. The sushi is clumsily prepared, filled with rice, and the wasabi is like play dough. Thank goodness they have fruit and because of this, its a step above fast food and a better value for your buck.

Went here for brothers birthday and loved this place. Extremely happy with oysters and seafood. Mongolian grill was delicious. Everything about the buffet was great and very satisfied customer. Good Margarita and cold beer. Love this place. Feast, eat drink and be merry. Favorite food were oysters. Im getting hungry thinking about about the Kobe Beef Buffet.

I came in late, close to closing, with my daughter and her friend. The staff was so friendly, treated us so nicely! My daughter and her friend were very impressed with their attention so close to closing. Even made some last-minute dishes and rolls that they wamted to try. Ill definitely take them back when we have more time to sample!

The best buffet restaurant Ive been to in a long time. Great food, price is reasonable and service is adequate. Dont listen to these people who expect a 5star restaurant experience. This is an Asian buffet and the food and the variety of seafood they had was amazing and delicious. Im bringing the rest of my family to eat there tonight.

Variety! Variety! Of seafood dishes, sushi, Korean BBQ, Pho, Chinese cuisine, fruit salad bar, and fondue bar. Lunch is only $13 all you can eat without a drink and dinner is $19 all you can eat without a drink. Has a full bar as well. The food is above average for an all you can eat buffet. Im there every Friday.

We love this place! Seniors get a ten percent discount on weekdays if they go between 10:30 and I think it is 3 p.m. cant believe how reasonable it is considering all of the variety of food that they offer. It is best to go by 11:30 a.m. because not so crowded then and the food is not so picked over.

I would say the food quality and flavor is acceptable considering its price. It is not a very high end buffet place but it does have seafood such as crab legs, lobster meat and oysters. The dim sums are also OK considering the price. I dont really like the sushi there though.

Food quality wasnt very good... hot buffet food was old, and you could tell it was sitting out a long while. Also plates and silverware were dirty. Only decent item was the Mongolian bbq which is freshly cooked in front of you. Not worth the money, however.
