DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! When I first saw the exterior, I thought,"If they can afford two large statues, then they must make a good amount of money; therefore, they must have good food." But when I went into the buffet, I was totally wrong. At first glance, the "food" looked okay (2.7/10), but the experience was bad when we got to the table. First of all, the chairs were a big problem. The wheels made it hard to stay in one position, and they were torn. The atmosphere was just plain nasty, artificial plants; drab, stained carpet; Christmas lights still up; etc. But the only thing I cared about was the "food". So I examined the "food" first, before getting some. NOTHING WAS EDIBLE EXCEPT THE RICE (notice rice isnt in quotations). The "fried bananas" were way too salty, the "garlic bread" was hard as a rock, and the honey "chicken" tasted like something that wasnt meat. The "chicken" at the middle was okay, but I wouldnt go crazy for it (2.3/10). I didnt dare to get up and get more. Because I watch lots of Restaurant:Impossible, I know stuff that restaurants and buffets like this do that violates health standards. For instance, nasty places like this may not clean their ice machine, so I didnt risk drinking the water. The service was ok. They werent convenient, but they werent mean (at least at my only visit). The restroom was nasty. The when I flushed the urinal, it made this loud noise. There was some stuff on the door too. It was funny, because I thought Id never go to a place like those featured on Restaurant:Impossible. But this place was the first that Ive been to. Also, this was the dining place where I spent the LEAST amount of time at. In summary, DO NOT GO HERE. THE FOOD AT A GAS STATION IS BETTER.

Honest review here... The seating was fast, as I was a party of one. I didnt order a drink but had water. Therefore, I dont know if Coke, and soda/pop is part of the buffet price or not. The food was terrible!!! I ended up not feeling so good afterwards from it. I am a avid chinese buffet diner, and this place missed on so many marks. The food was left out too long, and was cold. The varieties of chicken was lacking overall choices for that matter was lacking. The food was not brought out enough or refreshed and if it was it was just added to the old cold food (most buffets do this). The cream cheese crab ragoons were nasty, tasted too much like crab!! The service was terrible, apart from fast seating. I had to wait for a refill on water with not that many people there during the weekday, and for my bill. The bill was OUTRAGEOUS!!! I ended up paying $14.86 (no tip included) for a crap LUNCH buffet, no drink other than water, terrible cold food, and service. Im sorry but I dont wish my worse enemy to eat here. I should have known that this place is an overpriced tourist buffet restaurant catered to take your money and leave you sick! STAY AWAY! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

AWFUL!!! This is one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. If I could give this a zero star, I would without hesitation. Of the few items that looked edible, exactly one was -- the steamed rice. Everything else in the buffet was dry, cold, and terrible. When I brought this to my server s attention, he immediately got the manager who he was clearly terrified of. This woman was by far the most unpleasant person I have ever encountered in a restaurant. She was arrogant, demeaning, and rude. After explaining the state of my food, she accused me of attempting to steal food by eating a bunch and then complaining. I calmly stated that I had been unable to eat any of it, and I just wanted my money back so that I could leave. She would have none of it -- rudely raising her voice and accusing me again of trying to eat for free. On my way out, I was again insulted. This place should be avoided like the plague. NEVER EAT HERE, YOU WILL REGRET IT. You ve been warned.

Its a Chinese buffet. Pretty straightforward idea. Executed solidly. We went on a Saturday at 2:30 pm. Not a time when restaurants are busy, but the food was hot and it seemed fresh to us. Service? Its a buffet! Get me to a table and point the way. How much service do you need? They cleared away our used plates and filled our drinks. They were friendly. What else do you want? Atmosphere was simple. Im a bit of a clean freak and I checked every piece of silverware and every plate - clean. I checked the bars and the floors - clean. I checked my table and my water glass - clean. So the place is clean, the food is hot and fresh, the people were nice and attentive, and the price is competitive ($8.95). And, if it means anything to the reader, were NYers. Everyone knows the best food is in NY, especially the best pizza, bagels, and Chinese food. I was satisfied. Unless youre a whiny, complainer who likes to find fault with everything, youll be perfectly satisfied here.

Absolutely filthy, the chicken was red on the inside and more than half the buffet has not been changed since the end of lunch till the end of dinner. Waitresses and cooks caught feeling the menu items with their bare hands (no gloves) to see if they are cold and putting them back into the buffet tray. Do not come here looking for a half decent sanitary buffet. Most of the menu is Americanized ( chicken nuggets, wings, pizza, and more) the actual Chinese portion consists of only teriyaki chicken, general tso chicken, coconut shrimp, fried rice, lo mein, steamed rice, and pepper steak, not to forget the two small plates of half assed California rolls with imitation crab meat. I recommend going to a chain restaurant near by like Shoneys or steak and shake where the quality is stellar and the price is reasonable.

WORST BUFFET EVER. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!! Their food was terrible everything was poor quality and for 15$ it was not worth it! Its so expensive for a buffet while theres other places that have cheaper prices and better food! Worst food ever I felt I would get sick if I kept eating it! Not only is the food bad but the SERVICE IS TERRIBLE!! They got really upset when I got a second plate and didnt finish the food in my first plate! Its a buffet for a reason!! Thats really annoying that they dont treat it like an actual buffet! And they threatened to call the cops when I got more than one plate and didnt finish my food! This place is overall AWFUL! BAD FOOD BAD PEOPLE BAD ENVIRONMENT!!!!! DO NOT GO!!!!!!!!!

My experience was absolutely first class. Excellent selection, wide variety of choices on their buffet, the food was hot, and certainly tasted fresh, and freshly-cooked. My wife is Chinese, she enjoyed the food. Im from Boston, and I think it compares well to any Chinese food Ive had in Massachusetts. The service was excellent, waitresses friendly and very accommodating. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The owner came by to make sure everything was okay. It was the best Chinese food Ive had, by far, in the three years Ive lived in the Orlando area. In fact, as good as any Ive had period! I highly recommend it. You wont be disappointed.
