We ate here on March 17th, 2013, for lunch. This place used to be our favorite place as wed eat here a couple times a week w/o fail (for about 7 years). Lately however the food has gone downhill the number of items on the buffet has been lowered to a less desired and less expensive item and the overall experience has dropped dramaticly. Today the food was cold, the soda out of the fountian was flat (all of them) so we had to have water and the dishes were dirty. Also today being a Sunday meant the price of the buffet is higher (dinner prices all day) but the only item on the buffet that isnt on the regular menu is the crab legs. When we got there only a few legs were left in the pan, we took them which emptied the pan and it took 28 minutes for them to bring more out. We walked out dissapointed for the 4th time in our last 5 visits. Needless to say were done going here for lunch/dinner. They have cut staff, lowered the quality of the food, and in our opinion they are struggling to stay afloat.

It is pretty standard as far as Asian buffet restaurants go. It has a salad bar, dessert bar, ice cream dispenser, your usual islands of various Asian chickens and beefs-- the whole works. The food is great on the scale of Asian buffet restaurants, and my only complaint is that both times we have eaten there, an employee is vacuuming the entire time we are eating, within fifteen feet so quite loud and conversation-debilitating, about two hours before the restaurant closes, and, both times has caused everyone in our area of seating to leave abruptly, all at the same time. I dont know if its because of the vacuuming, or perhaps was just coincidental, and maybe everyone eating while I have been eating simply decides they want to leave, all at the same exact time. Who knows, but anyways, if you want really good Asian food, I would recommend this place for sure.

I keep saying Ill never eat there again but it is in a good spot, but today is the last time. I had to choke down the food. $5 extra so you can have 2 soggy snow crab legs that look like they came out of a swamp for their dinner price is a joke. Everything tasted old with a lot of salt everything was mush. The rice was dried out, they didnt have hardly any meat in the stir fry. Nobody said thanks. The workers park in the front row parking so they dont have to walk far, tells me they value themselves over their customers. How often do you see a van parked right in front? Update* Decided to go to lunch with my employee he found a 3" metal brissel from a scrubber in his noodles...luckily he didnt bite into it. They gave me a refund but never said sorry.

I would honestly give this a 0 stars if I could, the food was horrible and dried and quite cold. It had no flavor and was some how greasy an dry at the same time. The customer service was frankly awful I stood there for 5 minutes while who I assume to be the owner was eating and eventually he went and got someone to cash us out. She was just as cold as the food and had no personality. The prices were ridiculous and it was over 25$ for the dinner buffet for 2 people. 10/10 would not reccomend. I have no clue how this place has almost 4 stars.

Everything was just okay here for me. Not a lot of good food choices. No service for anything but that didnt bother me to much. Food quality was not that great which did bother me. I wont be back since there is a much nicer Chinatown Buffet over by the Holiday Inn just down the road in Otsego off Co Rd 39. Just pretend you are going to the Holiday Inn and you will see it across from it. There you get much better service and the food is much fresher and much better choices.

Found metal shavings in my noodles! told the lady up front what I found, she took it and put it in the garbage then said sorry and nothing else.... how about my money back!! How about you go in the kitchen and tell the cooks! How about removing the rest of the noodles from the buffet! Nope! Nothing. Ill never eat at this place again!

Thought the food was very tasty. Fresh egg rolls and nicely seasoned chicken and pork. Fish and shrimp were pretty good too! Found the smaller pieces were tastier than larger bits of the teriyaki chicken and/or pork. Overall really good!

food doesnt change but that said its always good even late before they close you ask and they will make anything u want off the buffet. my wife and I especially love the Chinese donuts. Definetly a sweet treat to keep the kids up...

I love the lo mein noodles, peanut butter chicken and Japanese chicken! I grab take out all the time. Its my favorite fast food place to go to! I can fill the take out box and make it into two meals. Well worth the price.

The place needs a make over. Its okay food for a buffet, but if they changed the interior, gained more respect for their clientele, and kept the place cleaner, Id give this 5 stars. Its really gone downhill in a year.

Been going there a lot again lately, seemed like quality wasnt the greatest a little a while back but have had nothing but very pleasant experience last year or so and the take out option is my favorite in town.

Very slow to bring out new food. The food at the bar looks dried. And if they know you are there for the crab legs (which isnt that nice. It is just adequate for the price) they dont bring out any.

not bad for being located in the north suburbs. dumplings are decent, pork and mushroom is decent. hot and sout soup has black fungi. as with all buffet come when they open and all is dencently hot.

This quite possibly the worst buffet I have been to. The seafood in one dish was awol, the imitation crab must have been imitation imitation. The texture was awful. Save your money!

Always liked my experience there with others, but when I went on my own I got the impression they were trying to drive me out, taking my cup and fork each time I got a new plate.

This is a typical all you can eat Asian food buffet...not great, not terrible. If youre in the mood for mediocre Asian buffet, this is one of your only options in the local area.

This place has amazing food and is really well cooked no undercooked products and no overcooked products ethier the food is really delicious and is a buffet

Tom Lutes

Awesome place. Really tasty food, including some dishes that you just cant get anywhere else. This does mean that the place get crowded at meal times, though

Okayish very Americanized, not even gonna question the wheel barrel in the lobby and kitchen and the random bushels of bananas behind me

Blue collar Chinese buffet. Not spectacular, but solid. Come during high volume time for best food/freshest food like any buffet.
