I went here for my 17th birthday, It wasnt as terrible as I expected. The staff was quick to refill our drinks and take away our dirty plates but they were also quite rude. We stayed for about an hour and a half and you could see our waiter glaring at us like she wanted us out. Also, most of the food I ate was great- but their was also some huge disappointments. The mac and cheese, it looked so good but it tasted like sad, wet noodles. Couldnt even taste the cheese. Another thing- the shrimp. I LOVE shrimp, and I wasnt expecting it to be perfect but out of the 8 I had, I could only eat half. The other half were either still frozen or had a yellow tint. Also, the sushi, I probably had 2 full roles- every now and then I would eat one that tasted like pine sol. Lastly, the establishment was suprisingly clean, first buffet where my feet didnt stick to the ground- but that all changed when I went to the bathroom. I could barely pick my shoes off the ground. All and all, I would definitely go back. Its cheep, decent food, and pretty clean as long as you dont use the bathoom.

I have been here a lot of times, once or twice a month for an year or so. According th my experience, this place is highly hit or miss. When there are a lot of people, especially when there is a tour bus or something, you will end up paying the same price, but eating leftovers. When its crowded, they usually fill those cheap, lunch menus fast and very slow with good dinner ones. Especially with the sushi bar, the sushi guy just make cheap rolls. Last time when I was there, empty sushi plates were filled after 1 hour (could be more than that, since thats how long I stayed there). My recommendatation is, if you see a tour bus somewhere in the lot, turn back. If its "all day dinner" day, turn back. Also, check the food first before you pay.

I have been to this place around 4-5 times. I liked the food and the place is specious. However, in my recent visit I noticed that they just dont about hygiene at all! While I was filling my plate the lady who was re-filling the fried shrimp dropped few of them on the counter top and instead of trashing them she put them back in the tray. At first I ignored thinking of 3 sec rule. But I noticed the same thing another person did at the fruit counter! Dozens of pineapple pieces were dropped on the counter top & were collected all together and put it back in the serving tray! Same thing where they serve rice & chicken dishes! I cant imagine how they handle food in the kitchen! Very disappointed :( Not going back there again.

My good friend and I had dinner at this location. The wait staff were extremely rude, intrusive, disrespectful, and insensitive. A female wait staff reached across the table where we were sitting and eating to pick up the soy sauce bottle without excusing herself or asking if we needed the soy sauce . The other staff apologized for her. She then brought the soy sauce bottle back and began to reach across the table the second time. She was very rude and the manager on duty said she was new and didnt speak english... I will not be patronizing this restaurant again and I strongly suggest you give it some thought before you do.

As a former resident of Laurel, I will give this place a thumbs up. Comparable to other chinese buffets in this area this is one of the top. Selection is great here youve got raw oysters, mussels, chicken 5 different ways. The sushi bar has the typical dragon rolls, sashimi and seaweed salad. Servers are checking every 5 mins if you need anything at your table. The price of $11.50 weeknights and $12.50 weekends and Friday for dinner is a good deal. If your in the area and really want to fill up Id recommend this place. Not to far from BW parkway and nice assortment of your typical Chinese American dishes.

I would like to say I know one way or the other about the food but even though the closing time says 10pm we attempted to go in at 9:20 (after being stuck in the parking lot for over 10 minutes due to horrible rain storm) and the hostess told us "we pull the food at 9:30". I guess I should be grateful she told us before we paid but after getting 2 kids in a stroller and dealing with the last remnants of a storm to get inside I just really wish they said online that closing is at 9:30 because if I cant get food until 10 then you arent open until 10!

My parents came here and within their first plate they had a cockroach in their plate. They had gotten mainly seafood and thats where it popped up from. My mother was able to kill the roach but then was struggling with the manager/owner to get a refund, as if they did not believe her and then had the audacity to ask if she was going to continue eating (because if she was, there will be no refund). I came here a few times prior to this and thought the concept was cool and the food was meh, decent, but now I am staying far away and so should you.

The prices listed online will not be honored at the restaurant. There is no need to ask them because they will rudely refuse to honor what is on THEIR website. There were multiple children picking up food with there hands and noone regulating them even after I reported it to the manager. Also just like the other reviews food would drop on the counter and it would be pushed back into to the bar by employees. Smh. I understand it is a buffet but it was not sanitary, multiple gnats and a weird smell. Check your drink cup for nasty residue.

Nope do not eat here. My brother worked here they had roaches in there rice. They cooked there crab one day brought it out the next day then I was told by 2 workers that they had crabs in the refrigerator for 2 weeks and cooked it again. Then they put it out. I stopped eating here when I was told. These people are nasty to its fullest content. My brother and the old workers still have the video. Mind you they have there workers work over 12 hours a day. And not get paid overtime

The place was really busy food looked good, big selection. The hibachi chef drowned the food in soy sauce rendering it inedible. I swear when we were done eating a fly did a kamikaze dive into the soy sauce dish and drowned. We stared in disbelief. I tried to rescue it but I was getting dirty looks from the waitress while Im fishing this fly out with the chop stick. We had a great time! The sushi, shashimi and nigiri was decent they even had squid and clam.

A disappointing dining experience. We had been to some Asian buffet many times, but not one like this. Horrible attitudes towards to customer. They charged service fees depend on who u are. Unfortunately, as high as 30% tips we were be charged. More worsely，a waitress or a supervisor complained that too much foods we ate and even abused us like pigs. What a rude and tacky staff！ This was the way u treated customers.
