Ive been there quite a few times but they REALLY dropped the ball this time. The owner, who is EXTREMELY nice, didnt seem to be there so Im sure it had something to do with my bad experience.......but there were 6 empty pans of food (a lot for a smaller buffet) and three pieces of sushi TOTAL on the sushi buffet. No one behind the glass making sushi, no one to be found anywhere actually, except one waitress who stood behind the counter while i put my to-go food on the scale to pay and she then proceeded to walk away letting me stand there so she could clean a table (there were only 4 other groups there at tables). She then acted like it was a huge inconvenience that she had to come back so i could pay. Im sure Ill go back at some point, but still a BAD and frustrating experience.

Last three times there good was neither good or of good quality. Pretty much all the good seems to have been at the buffet for way to long. As an example the steamed dumplings were rock hard and the skewered chicken was like leather. Numerous pans at buffet had little or no good. Seems like a resturant thats on life support and will not be in business for much longer unless they wake up and improve their quality substantially. My last visit was indeed my last visit which is to had because I like to support the smaller resturants. Poor, poor quality

Worse buffet Ive ever been to. Admittedly it was not busy, but the food had obviously been sitting out for hours. The sushi selection was not the best. Instead of replacing food that was clearly old and mostly gone, they kept coming from the kitchen to simply stir them around. I saw them replace maybe 2 fried dishes and a little bit of sushi, otherwise no attempt was made to replace anything else.

I work at Berger Chevy across the street. Ive been here two years and had never ventured over 28th street to eat here..until last week. What a GREAT buffet! The service was excellent. Great vegan options too. Tons of very good food - I also saw sushi, Kimchi, soups, some American fried food, REALLY GOOD COOKIES! Im so glad I finally went! New favorite Asian joint!

Food looks like its been sitting since open.. everything was over cooked!an hard! Even the essential things u get from a buffet were gross An rock hard!! Place looks nice but food is gross!! It was really a waste of money , if the kept the food fresh it would be a really nice place smh too bad , I would give the place a zero but one star is ok I guess ...

Surprisingly good. I do believe the food is actually cooked rather than canned/frozen/reheated as you often find at other buffets. Though I could be wrong, and if I am, its still really good. Pretty wide selection too. Atmosphere seems a little hodge-podge, but clean. Staff is really friendly and attentive.

For $27 for two drinks and two buffets it was way over priced for what it had to offer. I bit into a raw dumpling and subsequently spit it into a napkin Gordon Ramsey style. The booths are hard to get into since the table legs are so close to the seats, and if I leaned forward the seat came up.

Disappointed. Buffet low on food when we got here and had to ask if they were going to make more food. Friendly staff but not good enough for 3 stars. Temperature in restaurant was cold and restrooms ice cold and no hot water running through faucets.

Went on a Monday afternoon and the food was just not good. A couple items werent bad but I wont be going back. Most of the food looked and tasted like it had been sitting for hours, and seemed to be cold by the time you got back to the table.

Absolutely amazing food. Load of varieties on the lunch buffet for just $7.80. Best place for Asian meat lovers. Tasty dumplings and sushi as a part of the buffet. Big parking area, clean place, Lotta tasty food option, best price.

Tables are super small in my opinion. Lunch buffet great price, food was delicious and fresh tasting for a buffet. Sushi bar, desserts, and good variety/selection of food. Was pretty empty and nice and quiet when I went for lunch.

Good food with a wide selection, lots of choices! Friendly staff and plenty of room to sit down. Good prices on dine-in and take out (per pound). Been here mostly for lunch several times over the past couple years.

We stopped in on a trip back to Southwest Michigan. The food is so good, we have made special trips up for dinner. This is REAL cuisine. The salmon is awesome and the steam tray has the most beautiful dumplings.

Nice place to eat for Asian food. Nice selection of dishes and staff very nice. Place been there for a while and needs a bit of a lift but worth the trip for the food.

2:30p on a Saturday and were the only ones there. Food was not hot enough. No wonder they made the worst places in GR list! Plus it was $25 for 2 buffets and 1 pop!

The buffet didnt have a large variety and the food seemed old and dry. The restaurant was nearly empty when we visited on a late Sunday afternoon.

Truly love this place but it could use with some updating to their seating. The booths are a little uncomfortable. Food is great though!

Not bad only 10 bucks around lunch time. Also to get really full on cheap, but yet healthy food for the most part cant beat that !!

Not your typical Chinese and Sushi Buffet. You can also order off the menu but the quality of Sushi is flavorful and good quality.

We went late on a Sunday, the food was cold but that I feel that is to be expected. It was good for a quick cheap meal.

Wide selection of food, but all of it mediocre. It was all flavorless or too salty, or it didnt taste like it should.

Hasnt been that good ever since Red Sun buffet staff took over. The food was better when Manadrin staff operated it.
