Absolutely love the food. A big difference than your regular hole in the wall chinese joint. Crispy sesame chicken and the mongolian beef (no bamboo or peppers) are my two favorite dishes there. The potstickers are a tad small both in size and quantity for the price, but tasty none the less. The eggrolls are the best around, wouldnt change a thing. The prices are pretty standard around the board, but you cant beat the buffet for the price. May not have as many options compared to other buffets, but the quality is outstanding. My only real issue at all is the staff have very thick accents, but theyre always more than courteous and they do their job very well. My drinks never been even close to empty. If anyones got any issues with this place, its most likely due to the different style of food and they cant adapt.

Great lunch buffet. If youre in the area, swing by and grab the buffet. There arent as many items as some dedicated Chinese buffets, but the quality of food is much better. I would rather have a smaller selection but higher quality. The Egg Rolls, chicken wings, and fried rice was excellent and always a staple. Theres also always egg foo young too. Some of the main items rotate, like beef and broccoli, mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour pork, etc. No matter what you get, itll be good. They are also part of the Rewards Network, so you can get airline miles / points for dining here. The also have regular lunch / dinner service which is delicious.

What is everyone talking about? This place is seriously wonderful. I travel all the way from Tinley Park to this chinese place. To be fair, I come on the weekends between 12-3 when they have the lunch buffet, which is $6.75. Cheap as heck. The staff is awesome too, Ive gotten free crab rangoon, let my 5yrs old twins eat buffet for free and my drink is NEVER empty (or even half empty for that matter). The food is super delicious. The crab rangoon is absolutely the best ive ever had. The bufffet changes everyday so its not the same old food when you go in. There is plenty of meat in all the dishes. I always leave there stuffed! A++++

A consistent experience. Consistently get bad service, which is ok as its a buffet. And its cheap. Which makes it good as long as you dont die. They dont rush you. Nor do they always properly label seafood, which is tricky for those allergic like myself. Ive learned over the last few years what is safe and what isnt. Management really doesnt care, and I dont care that they dont care. It all works out.

OK if I could give this place no stars I would. I hate this place. Staff is rude and stupid. They dont pay attention half the time your ordering and they always try to rush you like they have something better to do. Prices are the same as any other place. Sometimes the food is old and tastes like garbage. Again rude staff and old food. Dont recommended

Food: GROSS. The worst Ive ever had!! The rice was HARD. It looked like the food was leftovers from yesterday! Service: (no offense) I couldnt understand the waiter. Atmosphere: old and dark! I fear they might have a rat problem. Overall: **worst buffet ever** only 2 tables of nasty food. Glad I didnt pay for it.

The food was bland, overcooked and the Mongolian beef, as one previous person stated, had no beef in it. Not only that, but it made my dad sick. Apparently, people around here have never had good Chinese food, if they think this place deserves more than one star. Ugh.

I love Chinese food. I eat it as often as I can. This is some of the best Chinese food I have ever eaten. I got it to go but wish I would have sat down to that buffet. Im kicking myself cause now my vacation is over and Im going back home.

Food is untrue to its description and is mediocre. The egg drop soup? Disgusting. The sesame chicken? Dull but alright. The vegetable chow mein? 95% vegetable, 5% noodles. The rice? Rice. The fortune cookie? Probably the best thing from my order

Horrible experience. They say they are open until 9pm, but wont take orders after 8:20pm. Had a taste for Chinese 2 nites in a row, and they were unavailable both days. Learning that they are really not customer focussed. ORDER SOMEWHERE ELSE.

A small buffet compared to larger Chinese buffets, but the food basically tastes good. Lunch was about $8 plus tip. Just got back another good lunch. Attentive staff from the moment we arrived until we left. Good food at the buffet again.

Prompt friendly service, hot tasty food, cold water, hot tea, with a warm, well aged Environment. What more could you want? Oh a lunch buffet? They have that too. If you enjoy the little things in life, this place could be right for you.

I personally thought the food was a little gross. No fresh ingredients. I could see some people liking it, though. HUGE quantities. Subtract 1 from your party if buying a family meal. Most single meals could feed 2 easily.

Went for lunch. Food was okay, portions were very large. Had lots of mongolian beef left over to bring home but when I got home, much to my surprise, all the meat was missing!!! Needless to say, we wont be going back.

Been coming here for years, yes they only have a small selection on the buffet but it is always hot and fresh. Best buffet for the price, service is always excellent and food is always delicious.

This place is awesome, check it out for yourself. The Spring Rolls were perfect; the Miso Soup, Spring Salad, and Wakame Seaweed Salad was great! Thank you for opening in Woodstock!

I order here often and havent had a problem with this place until recently. I ordered an orange chicken lunch special and found an insect taking a swim in my fried rice, Disgusting.

The food was very bland and just very average. I ordered the large Beef Lo Mein and after my first serving, almost all the beed was gone. I most likely wouldnt go back.

HORRIBLE BUFFET. Soup was watered down. Lo Mein was funky. Overall substandard food quality. Nice friendly staff tho.
