If I could give it negative stars I would. When the ordered 40 dollars worth of food got home the chicken romaine was horrible the chicken tasted old and nasty. We ordered the 4 season its supposed to come with crab meat no crab meat so therefore we call and complain when we got home they said we must have had an old menu cause there is no crab in the 4 seasons anymore and the chicken is what it is they wouldnt exchange it the end their money back they said top were stuck with it. I wouldnt eat here again and I would not recommend it to anybody the place is filthy and the food is horrible.

Tried it for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised! Delivery took a bit but the food was good (sesame chicken, general tsao chicken, fried rice, egg rolls and cream cheese wontons) and best of all didnt leave us sick and reaching for the Pepto a few hours later! Its local Chinese quality, but best we have found in the area by far! Will definitely be ordering again! Also the dinner combinations are a generous size and would be enough for two.

We didnt get a chance to try the food - we were seated at our table for maybe 3 minutes. The table, chairs, height-chair - everything - was disgustingly sticky/greasy. I couldnt get past how gross it was, so we left. My family went there for the buffet - which is offered on their website online, but was non existent when we arrived..... from the sounds of it - maybe missing out on the buffet was a good thing.

Some of the food didnt taste right (weird taste) and the service I didnt like. As soon as my brother got done with his ice tea someone was there and asked if he wanted a refill and took his plate. He was given refill after refill and never had a dirty plate in front of him. I on the other hand, never was asked if I wanted a refill and my used plates were piling up on the table. Will NOT be going back there.

I enjoy the food. You have to, like all Chinese buffet restaurants, time your visit. Dont go at 1:30pm and expect a fresh buffet, but go at lunch time or dinner time and you will be pleased. Its very affordable. The only negatives I have is their kids tend to run around a lot and that detracts from the "feel". This isnt a 4-5 star restaurant, so dont rate it like one - be realistic.

Disgusting, chicken tasted rotten... When I called to ask if I could exchange it for vegatable version since we didnt eat it they flat out just said no. Rude service and terrible food after spending $50 on take out less than OK service. Never ever eating there again!!! Dirty restaurant, smelled like a bathroom. Buffet was empty and crusty. Upsetting to say the least

Cant tell the difference between orange chicken an general saus chicken (every time). Theyve screwed our order up every time. Last time didnt send a few things we paid for, or send me the missing food or give money back for what was missing and the lady was INSANELY RUDE. Sucks theyre the only place that delivers here.

I was going to write something but @Chris - Mar 28, 2011 took the words out of my mouth. The kids DO detract from your atmosphere BUT its Chinese food. Its basically crap in a cardboard box and we all know that. We love it cus of the draw to the restaurants NOT so much the food and its overhaul of MSG.

Ordered everything off the menu. Steamed dumplings, hot sour soup and mu shu pork all very good. Special egg fu young quite good. Chicken chow mein and sweet / sour chicken were so-so. Friendly staff. Not busy at all on Saturday night, but phone calls and the stream off pickup orders was constant.

Been through all the restaurants in the baxter/brainerd area, Id have to say this is the best in town. Their food is just fantastic, and if youre having buffet, no matter how late you go in there, if theres something you want, theyll fill up whatever you need fresh in a matter of minutes!

Be sure to ask for what you want if you are getting the buffet. They will cook anything fresh for you. Take out and delivery is top notch. Local usually order take out. Dining room is functional but not somewhere you will stay very long. Staff is friendly.

Food was OK, but the restaurant was very understaffed. The buffet table was half empty. The whole time we were there, I only saw 2 employees running the whole restaurant. The lady running the cash register was also bussing dishes and waiting on tables.

Only reason I am giving it 3 stars is it took am got and a half to get my food. The food is good, order off the menu as it is much, much better then the buffet. If you order plan to wait for at least 75 minutes for the delivery.

Whenever I visit my parents, we usually get take out from here. The buffet is okay, but Id recommend the take out as the food is much fresher. The sesame chicken is crispy, fried rice is great, and the egg rolls are awesome!

They wont delivery an order less than 10 dollars. Their specials and entire menu are less than 10 dollars. So unless you are ordering food for multiple people they are not a viable option.

Everyone I know agrees: this is the best Chinese takeout/delivery in town by far. Skip the buffet, its just not busy enough to stay fresh. Very friendly and quick service, every time.

Best Chinese in town. They have been here for a very long time. I remember when the little boy used to run around all over the restaurant. Now he is running the counter. Very cool.

My wife and I love Diamond House. Jenny (the owner) is sweet and her and her husband do a great job serving the locals. Their take out is always amazing!

Unless you visit during peak hours, the entire buffet is terrible. Carryout and delivery are always made fresh to order and delicious.

I have ordered a variety of dishes to find they use fresh ingredients and are willing to spice things up whenever I ask.

The food was gross. The soup tasted like soap, the deep fried foods tasted like the oil was bad. Nasty!
