My girlfriend and I loved it. On a whim we decided to find a Chinese buffet (both of us having missed it since our favorite shut down a few years ago). We looked up the reviews before going and were a little cautious upon walking in. Once we got to the food though...Wow! Now we didnt try a fair portion of their offerings, like the hibachi, sushi, or the make your own soup line, but what we did try was all really good. They have all the staples you come to expect from a Chinese buffet, and some really interesting things you dont. I waited a day or so to write the review to make sure that my digestive system could handle it (Ive been to a few places that tasted great but wreaked terror on my GI tract a few hours later) and after no problems of a restroom nature I can say that we are 100% satisfied and will be going back. I should mention that this particular restaurant has a policy of charging for food that you leave on your plate, and for us that isnt a problem, but I can see where someone might be turned off by the idea. However as a former restaurateur I can see the sense in it, as it helps keep overhead down. Oh yeah! I did go into the restrooms to check out some of the negative reviews, and found them to be perfectly adequate. I would say the floor needs a good deep scrubbing, (the grout looks a little dirty, but thats pretty normal) but the overall cleanliness was very good. It smelled clean, and you could tell they had recently renovated, so all in all I wouldnt have a problem using their restrooms either. Ok rant has gone on WAY longer than I thought it would. Sum up is its a good, clean, and satisfying place to eat. There is only one negative that I can think of, when they gave us our check there were NO FORTUNE COOKIES!!!!!! However in their place there were a pair of really strange/different but VERY tasty green tea/ green apple mints. I know strange right? I was skeptical at first but once I tried mine I was sold. So yeah..............go eat here its good!

Worst place ever!!!!!! I never like to give reviews because no matter what my experience is I still believe in allowing everyone to have their own experience, since everyone has their on criteria and expectations. Me and my family love to go to different restaurants and compare. And believe me our expectations could be very reasonable due to me and my husband working in food and beverage management. But this by far is our worst experience. Its not the worst food but not the greatest either, $14.99 is not worth paying.pThey dont have over 350 items like they say on their menu. Unless they are couting seasonings. They say they have a lot of seafood but from what i saw is the same in many other buffets. Maybe they might have a little more but nothing spectacular either. The WORST PART they overcharge people. If you are planning to go with your kids they do NOT charge by age they charge by height. I was charged for my daughter as an adult price, Yes $14.99. My daughter is 5 feet tall and only weighs 95 lbs. And She barely eats. I understand how many people try to get away with paying cheap by lying about kids ages. But im sorry their should be a better way to deal eith that. I mean you could look at my daughter and tell shes only 11 yrs and not a big eater. I am soooo annoyed by this policy of theirs. I mean come on.... I have a friend thats a little person, you can tell hes an adult but measures about 3 1/2 feet, you think theyll charge a childs price for him??? Of course NOT. I approached the Manager and his unprofessional answer was " Whatever" just totally wrong. Please dont support places like this.

Have been here a few times, the food is pretty good. Hibachi has less options compared to other places, but the soup bar is really good. Today we saw a girl up at the buffet with a bird on her shoulder. YES, a real live bird on her shoulder. She was getting hibatchi and one of the cooks noticed it and pointed it out to the other cook. The girl took the bird off her shoulder and showed it to them (it was a cockatiel). This all happened right over the open food and sauces that everyone uses and eats. I told the girl that she shouldnt have a bird by the food and she just looked at me. I mentioned something to the young men working as hosts and they went to look for the bird. I knew it was crowded and they couldnt easily spot her, so when I found her and the location (still on her shoulder, but at a table), I made a point to let them know where. That is definitely a health code violation--she was petting the bird and it was flapping its feathers and grooming itself in line for the buffet...that is not ok. We even proceeded to tell the manager who just wrote it off. Spent $54 for lunch on a Sunday, with a bird. Probably the first time Ive left a buffet wanting to get food somewhere else afterwards.

Its been renamed and remodel. Formerly, "International Buffet"? This review was for the new one. I used to come here quite often because of their huge selections! Their fresh sushi bar was very good, but the hibachi bar was not that great because of their meats. The meats tasted like they were marinated in baking soda overnite. They also have "pho" noodle right next to the hibachi bar that are good, except for the meats. There are a few selections to stay away from such as the chicken wings and the bbq pork on a skewer. Theyre dry and rubbery. As for the rest of the food, theyre very good. I would have given them a 4 stars, if their restaurant was more clean, especially the bathroom. I stopped comming here after I saw this one lady refilling the lomein noodle. She spilled them onto the side rail, but picked them up with the tong and back into the hot serving tray. I know that all restaurants are not 100% clean, and what you dont know, doesnt hurt to eat. So, if you want to try this Crazy Buffet restaurant, go for it, and write your review to help others!

So Im a firm believer in the idea that most Chinese buffets arent too different from each other. Theyre either four stars or one star. This Chinese buffet is on the higher end of the four star ones, though. For cooking options, not only do they offer the hibachi, they also offer a soup bar where you pick a broth to cook a variety of items in for a pretty delicious soup. Their sushi is pretty on point. Nothing super special, but very good for a buffet. The rest of their options are literally standard. My favorites are honey chicken, the the crab rangoons, and the fried rice. But, Im a simple creature. For dinner on the Thursday night we were, they put out the main options of fried crabs and fried shrimps. They looked great, but we were there for lunch, so I didnt get to sample them. I was also perplexed about the lack of snow crab leg clusters. Maybe thats a weekend item. I was sad. Ultimately, this place accomplished my goal. I brought 10 people here to have a great time and a great meal for my birthday, and mission accomplished.
