I have never done a review online before, ever.... This place made a big enough impression for me to write. Nice looking facilities. Huge selection. Price isnt that bad for the selection. Sushi was pretty good. Outside of the sushi nothing tasted fresh. I dont mean "it sat on the buffet too long" kind of not fresh. I mean the "holy crap im going to die after eating this" kind of not fresh. Several chicken items left a sour after taste. Several seafood items from buffet were very dark and had a strong "fishy" flavor. Hibachi grill was where i drew the line... The raw beef was nearly black, the shrimp was almost gelatinous, the chicken was super slimy. I hate to leave a bad review, but wow that was bad. Reviews fom about 3 months ago and father back are good. Reviews from the last month or two are bad. Take the hint. Something must have changed! Dont go there!

Some of the other people who reviewed this place must never have eaten at a good Chinese restaurant before. I guess the others on here ate at a different Grand Buffet than we did. There are plenty varieties of food kept full. There is NO quality to the food, so if you only care about quantity over QUALITY this place is for you. The food has NO taste. Especially the Egg rolls and Spring rolls. This is the most mediocre Chinese place that Ive eaten at. And no, Im not used to giving negative reviews. In fact nearly every review I do on Hotels and Restaurants (Tripadvisor and choicehotels) are 5 star reviews. Never again.

My husband took our daughter to eat there for dinner. The food didnt seem to be fresh. The service was poor, and to top it off my daughter took her $5 bill to the waitress to get $3 in quarters to play the games. The waitress gave her $3 in quarters and put the remaining $2 back into the drawer. My husband went and confronted the waitress and she literally argued with him over the $2. Not many people want to make a big deal over two bucks but trying to take from a child and pretty much call her a liar is pretty pathetic. Mind you my daughter is almost 11 and very well knows how to count. Overall horrible experience.

Demasiada comida, muy buen servicio, personas atentas que te brindan una muy buena experiencia. Si usted no come mucho no vaya, guarde un lugar para los postres que son una delicia. Le recomiendo las brochetas de camarones.

Brand New Restaurant, decided to stop by and grab some lunch with the family. 2 adult and 1 child. Prices are average like everywhere else. When you first go in youll see a large Koi pond filled with Koi. The lighting is a little dim but not bad looking. Plenty of sitting booth or table. Great selection of food, Classic Chinese food and some interpretation of other dishes. I would recommend this place for sure. P.S. the bathrooms are also very clean!

Everything looked beautiful...but tasted terrible. The egg drop soup was just corn starch water with yellow food coloring. No flavor at all....my daughter who loves sushi was spitting things out( which shes never done)...the crab Rangoon had fake crab in it...but zero cream cheese. The bathrooms were clean...thats about tyr only good thing i can say...And considering the cost....We will NEVER go back. Thumbs way way down.

Phenomenal!!! Easily one of the best Chinese Buffets Ive ever been to! The stand outs are the Sushi and Hibachi, both of which are fantastic, and come close in quality and taste to true Sushi or Hibachi restaurants. It stays pretty busy, so the food thats out is usually pretty fresh, though like most buffets, youll get an occasional cold item. The staff is friendly an prompt as well.

I would like to give more star. But 2 out of 4 time I got cold food. 1 time I understand it was between lunch and dinner time. But I went there other 3 times at dinner with in 6-8pm. Still the last time I got so.e cold food. Not all the dishes but still most what got was cold. But they have great selection of food. They are delicious too, when they are at right temperature.

Worst Chinese buffet Ive literally ever been to. NONE of the food was appetizing and Im a pretty fair try-everything-and-give-them-the-benefit-of-the-doubt kinda person. Shocked and disappointed because we went based on the amount of positive reviews here. Husband ran to the toilet when we got home. Service was friendly. Price was fair. We wont be back.

This meal was just ok the oysters seem to be very small the shrimp was very good the sushi was tasty the buffalo wings were quite spicy the General Tsos chicken was a bit dry and the butter pecan ice cream did not have pecans in it the green tea ice cream was doll to The Taste and the chocolate ice cream just tasted like chocolate ice cream.

My wife and I eat here - usually once a week or so. The buffet is well stocked, and the food is pretty fresh. My wife loves the sushi. I enjoy the hibachi grill. The people are very nice. My only complaint: Sometimes the place is in need of some fresh air. Its not a big deal, but it would make our experience there a lot more pleasant.

Good food but the people who go there to shove food in to their pie hole are very rude and nasty. Been there several time and always have issues with nasty, disrespectful, and gross customers. The staff has always been on point and place is cleaner than most. The prices are getting a bit expensive, but good food.

Everything smelled wonderful, I come here for the Sushi and soups, was nicely balanced with full serving stations. I noticed its very clean in the buffet, restrooms etc. Nice Ambiance - very efficient and friendly staff. I will suggest to my friends as well, 8 of 10 in my book.Thank You for Serving Me!

My favorite AYCE Asian restaurant Ive ever been to. Nice ambiance. Very friendly staff. My cup never gets empty either. :D Absolutely the best sushi that you can get at any all you can eat restaurant in this area. I strongly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys Asian cuisine.

Google actually found this restaurant for me as I was searching for for sushi. I was not disappointed, Everything I tried whether it was sushi or off the buffet was fresh and so full of flavor. Thank you Google, great find. I look forward to going back when I go back on vacation.

Gave it a shot yesterday. EVERYTHING except sushi and that with real seafood, coconut shrimp, clam chowder, and desserts was tasting wrong. Either undercooked or the meat was old. Sauces tasted wrong. Vegetables tasted old. But they do have great green tea ice cream

This is a place Im glad me and my came. The food is amazing to be a buffet. The service was excellent as well. I was full and still found myself steady eating. A potato skin shouldnt taste this good either. Ill give them more than 5 stars if I could.
