They deserve NO stars. WORST BUFFET I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!! Walked in, asked for a booth- they said No, you need a table. So we got a table- my sister took her daughter to the bathroom and waitress came over asked what we wanted to drink- i said WATER. EVERYONE, WATER. So the waitress said "mm no no no..(asking my daughter,5) what do you want to drink apple juice or orange juice? (I assumed it came with the meal because she told me no about water) - she comes back with two cups of apple juice for the kids- i asked if the apple juice came with? She replied "no you pay for juice" i said okay- well i dont want it. She proceeded to walk away. THE WATER SHE GAVE US HAD NO ICE IN IT. We go up to buffet- their was either not enough or it looked old. No variety what so ever. While finishing plates- we put them to the side- waitress NEVER came to get the plates - or fill up drinks- we get the check and its $40 !!!! 10 for my sister 10 for me 5 for my daughter and 5 for my neice and $10 for the nasty ass apple juice she gave our kids! WHICHHHHH I SEEN HER BRING FROM THE BACK- WALMART BRAND APPLE JUICE. Usually costs $2 for a big jug!! We paid the bill and she proceeded to ask for a tip!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!! WORST SERVICE AND WORST EXPERIENCE.

I have never had an issue here since its grand opening years ago. The staff are always nice and friendly. Unfortunately, when youre dealing with food, customer service shouldnt be prioritized over food safety. Today I ordered a meal of Sesame Chicken & Shrimp before work. When I arrived to work and began eating, I immediately noticed the shrimp tasting soapy. Nodding this off as me just tripping after a long work week, I took a few more bites of the food. I felt an instant overwhelming feeling of nausea and dumped the food into the trash. I called to speak with the manager, who instead of denying the soap claims (maybe staff washed their hands over thawing food in the sink? Idk.) she asked me to bring the food back to re-prepare my meal. I spoke with someone from the Poison Control center who directed me on what to do if symptoms worsens. In short, just be careful. Chinese restaurants in this area have been shut down for roaches and other violations (such as staff washing their hands over food in the sink).

This place isnt a great choice food isnt for tasty and they put a ton of rice under meat to make it seem like your getting g a lot but not true. Also they not friendly and will cheat you out of your money. My order came to 7.43 she charged me 7.50 no cash register just shooting numbers. Its 8 cent but it adds up also they menu is confusing. Shell put that you pay 4.99/lb instead of ordering for take out menu. Best suggestion is not to eat here, horrible customer service, horrible food in my opinion, also they overly priced. Please be aware and pay close attention to your food and cost. This is the most dissatisfied place in all of Tampa and I have been to some not so great places. I searched this place just to add this review. I declined a soda which was .89cent and when and paid 1.68 somewhere just to mpt give them anymore of my business, last I was charged a dollar for and egg roll that was the size of my pinky finger!!

DO NOT waste your time or your money. The food was cold and nasty...the hibachi grill looks like it hasnt been used for months and if asked they look at you like a deer in headlights. People that work there walk around the entire place carrying around screaming babies not even caring that people are there. the service sucked and the servers like to yell from the back of the place to the people at the front of the store. i literally sat and waited for them to refill my drink for a solid 30 mins AFTER asking them showing them my drink had been empty for a good bit. i can honestly say that i will NEVER return to that place

Me and my mom had eaten here and the experience was unpleasant. From the moment I walked in the door it went downhill, the food was very bland tasting and unappetizing, not to mention that there isnt very much to choose from. I had picked up some crayfish from the buffet and had noticed there was no butter for it so I asked if they could bring me some to the table and when they did, it was a mixture that was a 1/4 of butter and the rest filled with water. My mom ordered a hot tea and when they brought her the kettle, it wasnt even heated! I can promise that Ill never go back to this restaurant.

Estuvimos en el primer piso y el ruido y la griteria que hubo en el pasillo duró hasta las 3:00 a.m. no nos dejó descansar. Las habitaciones son viejas, el matress igual. La limpieza bastante regular. El desayuno estuvo bien. Por el precio que pagué esperaba algo de mejor. calidad.

i had a stomach ache when I ate their bake mussel with cheese. there was no mussel in the shell on all of the mussels and therefore it means the seafood had already been eaten with prior to serving it again. the meat wasnt there anymore and therefore they re-used the mussel shell which is so grossed come to think of it. this is why I had a stomach ache. the food was greasy. it is very unsanitary to serve a shell that had been eaten by someone else before right? why would you eat here?

Food was ok if I have to give it a rating out of 5 it was all 2.5. The service was, well if I had received service rather than being seated, Id have something to say about it. Not the restaurants fault but the customers were all very loud. For the price you pay here for the bad service, limited amount of food choices, and bad atmosphere its not worth it at all. Probably wont be coming back here again. oh and lastly the picture on the menu is NOT this restaurant.

Food tasting funny? Thats the taste of slave labor. Signs of HUMAN TRAFFICKING. A white mini bus (transports the workers who all live in a small room together. MEXICANS in the kitchen and CHINESE girls working as waitresses. Lack of English. Some of these workers are UNDERAGE. ALL habatchi/Chinese buffets are running the same organization. These staff work 12 hours everyday and are TRAPPED. If you eat here you are helping organized crime in America!!

Water and sushi rolls were ok everything else very oily and greasy, and absolutely tasteless. After dinner there me and my friend felt like we ate plastic, no satisfaction. Lunch price (till 3.30 pm) is $7.99 and dinner is $9.99. For THAT price you can get better food quality at most of Chinese or Thai restaurants (especially during the lunch time). I was very disappointed. This was my first bad experience with Chinese cuisine!

This is the worst restaurant ever. My husband and I went to eat there and the lady cussed us out only because my husband didnt like their cold meat and left it on the table. Only thing my husband and I enjoyed was the rice and the water. I paid $21 and change only to get cussed out. She had the nerves to say is that how my mom raised me and is that how I eat at home. Please dont wasted your time and your money there.
