Countless times I have come here for a large quantity or food, not quality. Thats what buffets are usually for right? Right! However, it can be seen that the buffet tries to appeal with different delicacies such as frog legs and oysters served during different times. Most of the food is dry and tasteless, however there a couple dishes that they do right. The teriyaki chicken, salmon (they cut into smaller steaks now), barbecue ribs, and snow crab legs (if you get there before greedy foodies get there first). One of the major reasons that I am giving this buffet a low score, is because of the service. It is rather a hit or miss. Sometimes you have to wait on a refill, which most of the time never comes. Next, beware if you want to start eating cookies or any type of dessert. The servers automatically assume that you are done and will bring the check. Then they wait and stare at you until you put something down. Next, if they cleared the check, that means its fine to clear the tables. Hence, I recommend having someone stay behind, if someone wants to get more frozen yogurt or flan cakes. Because if you paid, and go off to get more goodies. You will come back to a cleared table, with possible new arrivals taking over your seat. Food 3.9/5 Service 2/5 Pricing (Bang for your buck) 4.5/5 Friendliness 2.6/5 Courtesy 2/5 Average Overall Score 3/5

In this place you will get the full Asian experience ! First of all 90% of the people working there dont speak any English ! Have fun chasing after them to get service, like a refill on your drinks. It seems like everyone working there hates their job and they were very rude. The food, is okay, all the items advertised on their flyer didnt exist or they were out of it and they didnt replace it. The sushi bar was horrible. But they were quick to bring you the check while you are still eating. NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN !

Service is horrible. Waiters and cook watch what you grab on your plate and then start talking in their language. They are good at picking up the plates but do not ask if more refills are needed. Dining is not done and they already rushing you to leave by bringing the check, we were there 30 minutes. Dont get me started with the food. Food is horrible. My kids love Chinese food, and we were surprised when they mentioned that they did not want to go back there ever again. Very disappointed.

Worst place to go. They dont have alot of stuff. The waiters are rude. The whole time i was eating i felt so bad. The waters kept watching what we would get and walk back and forth in our area. I would go to the bathroom and then they would follow. Thought it was only me but my family and friends said the samething. And they dont wait till your done they just bring you the check rude!!!. I will never come back the food is nasty. Dont go here what a waist of money.

Its an ok buffet... PROS: friendly staff, Mongolian bbq and a variety of chinese food with some sushi/sashimi and some seafood as well... CONS: as with most buffets, food is average at best, NO ALCOHOL.. Overall good experience, went in expecting an average buffet and thats what I got... honestly this buffet is better than the ones I have in my town but take that with a grain of salt if u wish...

Great value for the price. But the service, OH THE SERVICE. Its so horrible. You have to flag down the servers for water, for napkins, for everything. If you raise you hands and say loudly after waiting politely for 10 minutes, "excuse me", theyll lower their heads even further so they can pretend they didnt hear you.

This place has improved over the last year or so, but the food is still sub-par. There is lots of good sea food and the sushi is the best quality Ive had at a buffet, but the rest of the "chinese buffet" food is barely edible.

Pretty good food selection.. Crab and everything.. Even a grill to have a guy fry up you own combination of stuff.. Pricing not bad either.. Really nice décor too. Check out the molding.. Really trick.

The Best Ever! Great food. Happy hour is the best. Good price, $11 and some change. 3:30 -5pm M-F. Hardly any people so you can eat in peace. One thing not good. Only ONE handicap parking space in front.

Many unique foods on the tables, many options not usually avaliable at a Chinese buffet. Great selection. Crispy sweet & sour fish was my favorite along with the best clam chowder Ive ever had.

My wife and I come here once a month. Crab legs is good and the buffet is way better than Hometown Buffet. The price is reasonable. The staff may appear rude because they dont speak English well.

I didnt like the quality of the food for that price, for $16.50 weekdays I expected better quality and more options. , should be 2 star but added one star because they were nice.

Pretty decent. The crab is good which is good for. The soup is probably too much soup paste and is pretty salty. The food is pretty decent, but not that good for its price.

All you can eat seafood and sushi, plus Mongolian grill made to order - all for less than $19. Worth the trip.

A place of quantity, not quality. Food was okay, but service was under whelming. Dont expect high quality food.
