If I could give this place Zero stars, I would. Please save yourself the stomach ache and go somewhere else. SOOO much wrong with this place it would take me a book to write it all down... so Ill just mention the main things that bothered me. First Ill start with the food... I primarily came here to enjoy the crab legs and fried shrimp... I was EXTREMELY disappointed with both. The fried shrimp was 99 cent store boxed garbage, and the crab legs were extremely salty, so much so that they were completely inedible. Much of the other food was cold, bland, and not cooked correctly, and tasted very inconsistent from batch to batch. I am a grazer so I tend to try a little bit of everything... so I tasted about 80% of the food items they offer and at least 1/3 of the items I tasted were off, tasted very sour like milk that had gone bad. The man who was cooking the Mongolian BBQ routinely didnt cook the food long enough, so your items were partly raw in the middle, making it an unviable alternative to the buffet. The sushi wasnt rotated often enough and was rubbery and bland... Even the puffed pastries tasted like the cream had gone sour. There were TWO items that I actually enjoyed... the ice cream, and the fortune cookies. Now on to the service... you have to wait for someone to come give you refills on your beverage, and at first we received regular refills, but after we had been there for about 20 minutes the waitress brought the check and stopped bringing refills... eventually my wife asked for refills and the waitress rolled her eyes, snatched the glass from her hand and stomped away, when she returned she slammed the glass down and left, leaving my wife confused and me with an empty glass... shortly thereafter we left and my wife vomited on the way home. I will NEVER be back. I wouldnt recommend this establishment to a dog let alone other people.

All the waitresses are rude and Ive been here a few different times. Also I found a piece of metal from the scrubbers they use to wash dishes in my food.. I showed it to the hostess another manager neither one said a thing the manager just took my plate and went to the kitchen.. no one came back to apologize for the metal in the food or to even off a discount which in my experience is what managers do in that situation. I had to get loud with him just for him to acknowledge the fact that there cooks are putting food out with out checking the steam trays for debris and had to say I would call health inspectors for him to take me seriously... I do not recommend this place and suggest a health inspector dose show up cuz this was ridiculous.

This place is my favorite Asian buffet in the Inland Empire... hands down. It can get really busy during the lunch hour and dinner time but their food is so good I just push people out of my way to get to the food... just kidding. Each time Ive been here the food has been fresh. The staff does their job. And I get to eat delicious salmon Sushi to my hearts content. Parking can get tight. They have a shaded outdoor patio area for seating, though it is not always offered as an option for seating. They do have a small selection of different Asian beers and... I really recommend this place. Ive never noticed it to be an unclean location and the bathrooms are far away from the food which I highly approve of!

Worst place Ive been to in awhile!!! Originally just wanted to see what the prices were like but was seated within 2 seconds of walking in the door so I guess that was good. Selection wasnt that great. Thought I was going to be charger for dinner so when I got a plate of crab legs the waitress came over to tell me if I wanted them I would be charged for dinner instead of lunch BUT something didnt taste right with the one crab leg I had gotten two bites from so I told her to just take them and keep me at the lunch price. No smiles around here. No friendly customer service besides the "thank you" and "goodnight" I got as I was walking out. First and last time I come to eat here.

This place is huge but it still gets packed during lunch and dinner hours. Ive been to many Chinese buffets in the area but this one is the best. They have an excellent sushi bar with Tuna and Salmon sashimi. Yes, I said sashimi. They also have the sushi version with lots of cut-roll options. Another section I love is their fruit and salad option. They usually have 6-8 choices of fruits available on the bar. They also have a Mongolian bar where you can have the chef cook the dish of your choice. They only bad thing about this place is, it gets too crowded. So crowded that if youre not sitting in a booth, your chair will hit the person behind you. Ask for booth seating!

The food was pretty damn good, Well most of it anyway. There were some like one of the sushi dishes I had and an oyster and the chocolate ice cream that seem to me were bland, Now maybe its just me and the different tastes I had on my taste buds at the time but I thought they were bland. The servers were EXCELLENT with a restaurant full of people they still managed to serve you and with a quickness clean ur table when you leave and all with a smile. I thought our waitress summer was excellent. The ONLY bad thing to me is the "uncomfortably" close quarters seating. The price was right for the ALL YOU CAN EAT.

First Impressions are EVERYTHING!! This place didnt let me down! Im not huge on seafood, but if you are, youre in for a treat!! Lot of shells, crab, lobster and fish! Theres a nice selection of Asain Dishes, PLUS a HUGE selection of Sushi, which I just loved!!! Everything is kept pretty clean and the restaurant decor is fabulous. The ONLY negitive thing about our visit was the dinning room temperature. Im not sure if the A/C was down of if they keep it like that all the time. It wasnt hot, it was muggy! But other than that, Im definately ready to hit the place up again on a future area visit! DELISH!!
