I had hoped my first impression was a "bad night" or bad timing on the buffet, but our second attempt only confirmed it. The dining room has very out-dated decor & furnishings, substandard cleanliness, and terrible lighting. The buffet, to be honest, is a horrible excuse for an appetizing choice, and loaded with MSG!! The food looks & tastes "old" or "re-used". The menu items dont leave you wanting to come back again. The only thing that is a possible positive is the Mongolian grill (fresh & made-to-order). Besides the friendly staff, it was quite a disappointing experience (both times).

This was the worst food I have ever eaten. The only thing that was edible was the watermelon. I will warn every one I know not to eat there. The only plus was our sever was and a nice person. I was given a $4.00 "discount" on my $42.00 bill none of us even finished our first plate of food. The "discount" should have been you all ate hardly anything you just have to pay for your drinks. I did leave the waitress a nice tip. It was not her fault that the food was horrible. I only gave them one star because you cannot post a no star rating

Im currently eating here and had stuff hanging on my ice in my tea, chicken was very....Poor.....Noodles dry, and service poor. All around dissatisfied. I have eaten here before and thought they would have bettered but havent. I dont suggest eating here. Also found hair cooked into the chicken and their focus seems to be placed on occupying a gentleman I sat in the booth next too; seems to be a "sugar daddy" figure from what I gathered out of the conversation. I was embarrassed to have my daughter here.

Average and similar to many of the Asian or Chinese buffets around the country. This one did not stand out for me in any way. GOOD: Its a clean and attractive restaurant. Service has been friendly and efficient on my visits. BAD: The food quality has slipped recently. On recent visits, the food has been heavy with grease... enough that it was affecting the taste and, therefore, overall value. It used to be better and I may now begin to proactively avoid.

This place is so disgusting. Me and my father went out to eat here since we love Chinese BUT i wish we never did. We picked out lots of food, there are alot of choices and all but as we were eating my father found a cockroach in his rice. It was deep fried. We got a refund of course, but that is unacceptable. The staff is however very nice so 1 star for them otherwise i wish there was a 0 star option because this restaurant needs to close or clean up better.

The staff was the best of any Chinese restaurant I have been to. Little things like getting us a high chair without having to ask, helping my other son push in his chair. Plates where always cleared and drinks filled. The coconut chicken, noodles, and mushrooms where really good. Some other things like the sushi werent my favorite, it had a mustard sauce that I didnt care for. But overall everyone found something they liked

Good Chinese food at affordable prices. The buffet has western dishes for those in your party who dont eat Chinese. The flavors are as rich as any Chinese Ive ever eaten No MSG! Quiet, friendly atmosphere with an attentive and kind wait staff. When youre finished with a plate it quickly is cleared, even if youre making multiple trips to the buffet.

At noon this place might be decent. At 830 on a Wednesday its pretty bad. Nothing was fresh or even reasonable and i am not picky. Seriously questioning my sanity for eating here. Yall need to up your game. Pretty bad even for Chinese buffet standards. Only thing edible was the rice and green beans.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE CHINESE RESTAURANT! !!!! This is the ONLY place I have found "Coconut Chicken " it is simply AMAZING!!! I love that they always have sushi on the bar also. ( My favorite is a crabmeat or tuna and cream cheese roll with avocado or cucumber

Food was luke warm, need to refresh everything after long periods of time. Dont mix old fish dish pan with new fish dish pan that just came out, always replace pans completely, need clear covers for buffet. Very limited options and need to De-vein shrimp

We go and grab takeout from buffet. Not my absolute favorite place for chinese food. Most of it is decent though. But the service is fantastic. The owner is very personable, always remembers me and my boyfriend, gave us a free drink last time!

For around $11.00 on a weekend not bad price. The service was great, with refills and plate removal done quickly. The workers were cleaning when not doing anything else. A couple food items seem a bit old but most everything was good overall.

It is a better than average Chinese buffet. Worth going to if you like Chinese and are in the area, but not worth going out of your way for. I like how they did their crab rangoons better than other places have done them.

I ate there two months back. I was reminded of this place and thought I should give a rating. Service was poor, facilities are shambling in many spots, food was the most bland I have ever had. Would not recommend at all.

First time visiting at lunch. Was impressed with the cleanliness, service, selection and flavor of the food. The best Chinese buffet I have visited in the Louisville. Its in an odd location but worth the drive!

Saturday lunch with the family has never been THIS bad! Food tastes microwaved and old, mislabeled, and just down right disgusting. Staff are great, table service Is terrific, and overall great atmosphere.

The food was disgusting and not edible. I like Chinese food, but not from here. Tried several items. All bad. No refunds, LOL. So paid for the buffet and drink. Then left. Never to return. The place is foul.

Its pretty good when you consider its a Chinese buffet. Its not going to be a 5 star restaurant since its just a buffet. I love the hibachi grill.
