I normally do not write reviews about restaurants I go to, but if you are considering going here I strongly suggest against it. From first glance it seems like the average cheap Chinese restaurant, but appearances can be deceiving and the quality of food is what matters when going out to eat most. That is the area it most lacks, from the poor presentation to the almost terrible knockoff-like taste of delicacies such as peanut butter chicken. Every plate I had with meat on it was a plate I grew to regret, it tasted like it had been flavored for completely different dishes and just thrown in with sauce that was wildly different in taste. The waitresses kept coming by almost every second to check up on us and hurry us along in a very understandably empty restaurant. Its not all bad the fruit is delicious and I found myself eating almost all the pineapple pieces and peaches by myself, the vegetables are delicious when not soaked in excessive amounts of oil and salt, the dessert is delicious and the ice cream choices are quite broad for a Chinese restaurant. The last thing to judge is price, as it grew to the end I was hoping for a lower end bill due to the lower end quality I had received. Sadly I was very mistaken, the bill came out to be $11.45 and as someone that came away extremely dissatisfied I felt like I was wasting my money. To top it off the lady at the front desk tried to convince me to tip 3 and a half dollars for my service, which I had to decline politely, I only tipped a dollar less but I felt this extreme tension about me not tipping well for service I quite frankly regret having. Tldr; For quality of service is very pricey, but for a place to bring children and family to sit and relax over a nice meal it may be worth it to you.

Ive gotten food poisoning twice from this place. the food is pretty nasty. on top of that the service is terrible, and on top of that they are racist. I used to go here with some of my white friends all the time always paid at the counter at the front of the store. the one time i went with one of my best friends and business partner which happens to be african american they are extremely rude. stop my at the table before i can get up. demand me to pay at the table not letting me up. which i hand them my card. on top of that i hadnt put a tip down on the tip section on the cc slip. i put cash on the table and she didnt see it the lady then started cursing at me telling me im cheap and speaking in chinese to her other employees. i promtly took the tip. she shut up after that and left. do yourself a favor and go down to new hong kong down the street. awesome food there. may not be a buffett but this place blows. do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere.

At one point, this restaurant wouldve been considered a somewhat decent eating establishment. HOWEVER, it seems through vary years of neglect and employees, that this eating establishment has met its end. There is hardly ever any food out in the buffet during hours nowhere near closing.(5pm-7pm) ALSO, the food that IS out in the buffet has been out for 20+ minutes and becomes absolutely unbearable to eat and good luck finding any food that doesnt share similar attributes to that in the buffet. If anything they should strictly become carry-out. To be honest the only reason Im giving this place a 2 star is because on my most recent visit, the waitress was so kind and attentive that it almost felt genuine, and thats how EVERY dining experience should be. I advise anyone thinking of going to here to think wisely about your decision. Look at the reviews.

Well for $5.99 for Weekday lunch this place is great!! Average food for a buffet, but lots of choices, nice desserts and ice cream. The value is fantastic. Choices that I would normally not cook, or dont have the ingredients for...perfect. Cindy was very friendly as I noticed how she interacted with other customers asking them if they enjoyed their meal, and calling out folks she knew were regulars...great touch. She noticed my family had not been there before..and she was right..We dont eat out much, but my son visiting from the Air Force wanted to get some sushi, so all 6 of us headed to this new place. Worth a visit just to eat something new for a change. For the 6 of us...and my wallet, we were all satisfied.

Food was terrible then when I ordered Bourbon chicken, they served it to me with peppers cooked all through it, which I never saw before. Then when I said I was allergic to peppers and told her she had never mentioned peppers, she told me to pick them out. I was really upset. She didnt understand that because all the food was cooked with it, even if I pulled them out I would still have an allergic reaction. She finally took it back and exchanged it for me while cursing me out in Chinese under her breath. I was kinda happy she became upset, however I was upset as well and I was the customer!

Been eating there since they opened. Never disappointed. Ever. Always fresh, always yummy. Butter shrimp on weekends is amazing! (served Fri & Sat nights, all day Sundays). PS> The persons review is written by someone pretty illiterate and who is lying. Hate it when people think they have to use the race card. Couldnt be further from the truth. The owners are fine, friendly folks, serving great food at a great price. Those who claimed to have gotten food poisoning: if that actually would have happened twice, why keep going back??? Not the truth.

Just came from this nasty place, super old and out dated. Food was old, you can see it was frun early lunch even that we went at 5:30pm nothing was even warm; it was plain cold and dry from sitting there all day. Everything that was put out was enough for just one person serving (thethere were of us) after serving one plate and testing EVERYTHING cold and dry I ask the staff for fresh food, they just brought out one fresh tray if rice, nothing else. Payed $60 dollars to only come home to cook. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DISGUSTING PLACE

Its alright...just depends when you go...ive always gone during prime time...i did go after 7 once and ya never again...the food was limited and looked like it was sitting out too long dry and overcooked. Now if u go rigt at 5 or 6...the place is busy and food is fresh. They seem to go thru ataff changes quite often though...

They have actually more choices than I thought! Doesnt deserve a 3 star. Three rows of dishes, including choices of roasted beef, steam clam and other seafood. There are also salad session, sushi and ice cream. The buffet is $9.75 and is definitely worth it. Btw the floor is very clean as buffet restaurant.

My kids love this place because they can get crab legs. I think it is ok because they keep most of the items at low supply levels and it seems like they are out too long. The staff is good at keeping the drinks full. In my opinion this place is a little below average but my kids really do like it a lot.
