Let me start off by saying I dont write reviews, but after this experience I feel obligated to warn others and encourage management to change. Food that should be hot isnt, food that should be cold isnt (obviously food on ice is cold but still didnt taste quite right). Sushi was room temp, crab was over cooked and stuck to the shell and served on ice? I dont know how, but they managed to mess up string beans and broccoli, both not cooked. Dumplings were horribly greasy. Frog legs had more breading than meat, teriyaki chicken seemed old and had an oily taste, even the deserts werent cold, ever tried room temp jello or strawberry bannans? Blech. I tried to sample everything to find a redeeming dish...the water was water, ice cream was frozen and the little cakes were fine at room temp, thats it. Entire place smells like a urinal cake, everything you touch is sticky from the table tops to your shoes on the floor. First time and last time unless they make serious changes, theyd have to advertise so Id find out. Writing this from the parking lot. I sampled most, couldnt stand to eat it and I love Chinese buffets :(

My girlfriend, family, and I had dinner here on Christmas night. Honestly, one of the worst mistakes of my life. Never have I been more sick then I was after eating that god awful food. Stuck in the bathroom and in bed for a day and a half and still cringe when I hear the word Chinese Buffett. Without a single doubt we got food poisoning from this place. Younger man working there that helped us with drinks and seating was a pleasure to have serve us, which is why I left 10$ specifically for him to have on the table. As we were going to pay by the door I see some woman who didnt even help us walk over to our table put 5$ of that tip in her pocket and brought the other 5$ to the tip jar. Ive been here before and it was always good but after that experience I will NEVER go back! Horrendous.

Were pushed to get out twice in the same year while finishing the second and last plate. The food price is not worth it plus the front counter lady is heartless , not worth it at all .... After all the years of going and eating in this restaurant with bad experience , finally had enough and were not going to eat there no more. Not worth it at all... Thank you for the experience China Buffet! Goodbye!

I have been to every buffet in all 3 counties and can honestly say this was the worst place Ive ever eaten at. The food was not cooked right. S&s chicken had uncooked dough inside it still, rangoon were so hard to bite, dumplings dried out like a rock, and the soda tasted flat. Its really a shame this one of the only buffets In the area so if you lived here a while you dont have much to compare it to.

Had lunch there to day 5-22-13 and left at 12:54. Started with stomach pains as I was leaving and have been sick all afternoon. Called and ask for a mgr.. Was told he was not there and given his cell #, called that and got voice mail so I left a message. Still waiting. Wouldnt suggest to anyone. Food is bad and may make you sick. This is not the first time I got sick on their food. STAY AWAY

I have been here numerous times in the past couple years. My only complaint is the service. They bring you drinks once and rarely come over and pick up dirty dishes or refill drinks. Most of the time, I have to get up and ask them to refill my drink and clean up the dishes. Other than that, the staff is friendly, the food is fresh and tasty, and the restaurant is clean.

I hardly EVER give reviews, and I could not give a lower one. The after taste of this food is nausea. Its like I spent $25 on a glass of root beer and bought a plate of rubber. If you feel like regretting spending your money on awful, sickening, old, room-temperature food, this is the place for you! Do yourself a favor and eat anything else, or nothing at all.

Food had really good flavor, but everything was cold. The floor was very dirty as well. Staff was very friendly, but they have to work on keeping their food hot. Also saw one of the cooks put new food on top of old food. Not good. This place has potential, but unfortunately my fiancé and I will not be back. Not worth paying over thirty dollars for cold food.

Overall food quality for lunch was OK and all food was hot. A few dishes (specifically the Peking duck and roast pork) were excellent. Ice cream was also quality. Staff was attentive and kept our drinks full at all times. Some dishes were either OK or not good. However the price for lunch $6.75 plus $1.15 for drinks was extremely reasonable. I would return.

Takeout would have been acceptable, as the food was pretty mediocre and we were hungry. The service was slow and inconsistent. The staff allowed the children of their families to run around screaming. The restaurant was nearly empty and I needed no explanation for this.

This is a place my partner and I frequent. Its not the largest or most grand place, but you can usually count on good quality for what they have. The lunch buffet is definitely worth it. The wait staff and hosts are always so kind and gracious. I definitely recommend it.

Christmas dinner... food seemed okay. Two days later, In pretty sure I had food poisoning from the seafood. Everyone else that had dinner there with me was fine. But they didnt eat seafood. I did.

The service was nice. I really love the food. I miss eating asian cuisine especially the crabmeat, stuffed mussels, clam, then the califonia makis. etc. Everything is well done. Very delicious.

Almost every hot food items we tried were either cold or lukewarm. They should have their buffet station temp. check. Nothing special about this place. Gave 2 stars because staff was nice.

Really good china buffet! Best crab legs and broccoli. General tsp chicken was amazing. What shocked me was there was an 11 year girl worked there. I was amazed that was legal.

Ive driven passed this place so many time. My frist impression just looking at the outside isnt anything special. But wow! The selection was good. Definitely worth the try.

Worse Chinese Food we ever ate. Bill was $28 for the two of us. I guess because they had seafood on the buffet which looked warmed over and smelled bad. Terrible food.
