I wouldnt recommend. I went there previously and they gave us the child price for buffet for a 10 year old but went there again and they charged us for four adults even though the youngest was 8. When asked why the price was different he told me its because it was someone else and not him working that day and the childrens buffet is only for 5 and younger. Then the guy over charged us and when I brought the mistake to him he couldnt tell me why the price was so high, eventually another guy came up and showed him he did something wrong, so they gave me 2 dollars. When I asked to speak to a manager he said no, I could talk to him. When I asked for the owner he said she doesnt come in often, but would take my number to give it to her. The selection for the buffet was very limited. If it wasnt for the price difference it would have been a ok place to go for a quick lunch, but I was very displeased with how they handled the situation and we will not be going back.

Probably want to scratch this one off your list. Was looking for something within walking distance of the Fairfield Hotel. For this, they get a star. Phone manners were abrupt if not rude when I called to ask for the hours of the lunch buffet and confirm the address. My "thank you" was met with a "click". Buffet hours were 11-2:30 and I arrived a little before 2. Of their 18 tables, only one was occupied. The buffet, fairly small to begin with, looked pretty cleaned out but they did offer to bring out whatever I wanted. The fried egg rolls were terrific but nothing else stood out. The appearance was plain but clean, including the restrooms. Temperature was uncomfortably warm. At $6.75 the price was fair for a buffet. My impression was that of a business just trying to hang on by minimizing the amount of food on the buffet and leaving the AC off. Made me wonder what corners were being cut in the kitchen.

Based on the reviews and its closeness to where I work at Creighton, I so wanted to love this place. I did not. First off, I dont know where these "great prices" are coming from, here and on the menu. My small sweet and sour chicken with drink came to $7.95, hardly competitive with any other fast food lunch. The customer service of the woman running the counter was pretty lousy - even my request for a copy of the receipt was met with a sigh and rolled eyes. This was no teenager either. The food was no worse than but certainly no better than any Chinese place, it was nice and hot but that only melted the plastic fork that came in the sack. It is a nice little gem on an otherwise lackluster corner at 17th and Cuming, and I would like to see it succeed. Maybe the trick is to use it for a sit-down buffet and not a quick take-out. But for me, its back to tuna fish sandwiches. I left disappointed.

Ive been here a couple times the lady who takes your orders behind the counter is very RUDE. The way she treats people is terrible. I brought my 4 year old and 1 year old. They have no prices listed my issue was I assumed a 1 year old is free? My prior visits she was free and now all of sudden its 3.99 and i could not get any explanation for it. When I handed her my card she didnt even want to tell me my total. & rolled her eyes when I asked and then a man came out and finished the transaction. The ice machine never works! Food isnt really good. Its bland and not that much of a selection. Theres many other local buffets where 2 & under eat free and have friendly employees with better food including fruits and desserts. Dont waste your time or money going here!!!

Good Value - I stopped in based on google reviews, and I ended up liking it... The wonton soup was "fair" with flavor. But the wonton help up in the broth for 30 mins with out turning into "MUSH" and that is reason alone to return! I was not too impressed w/ the service when I walked in to pick up the "To Go" order, and the room was stagnant (like maybe the air was off). But the food was ready (just had to toss the soup together) and I was out of the there. Id do "To Go" again...

Within walking distance to the hotel. Got the Chicken Lo Mein, small fried rice and steamed dumplings! They were quite excellent! Just the fried rice and either the dumplings or Lo Mein wouldve been a complete meal for me (just over $5!)! The young man that took my order was very polite and gave an excellent recommendation when I asked what kind of dumplings I should get. Would definitely recommend.

I used to eat here several times a week when I worked at Creighton, and I drive out of my way to go there for carryout. Their Hunan Chicken and General Tso Chicken are the benchmark upon which I compare all oriental food and nothing else has ever come close. I just wish they were still open on Sunday. Theyve more than doubled their dining area and now have a lunch buffet.

Being very picky about Chinese food, and being with a group of Taiwanese, we felt food was of the Cantonese/American variety. They didnt reply to Mandarin Chinese. The food was hot, served quickly and it appeared they had a buffet on weekdays. I cant compare to the rest of Omaha, but it was decent compared to my other American experiences.

We ordered delivery (honey walnut shrimp and a seafood special, 8 and 9 dollars respectfully) and were amazed at the portions. Lots of shrimp with broccoli, scallops, shrimp, vegetables. It was delicious. Good for us college students. Will be ordering more in the future.

Worst customer service just wanted to let them know there was something wrong with food didnt ask for money back or replacement and rude server just said something about me eating some first and continued to be rude and ignore me when I asked for supervisor.

Fast service, moderate pricing, great flavor on the generals chicken, broccoli beef, and garlic chicken. Lunch buffet is extraordinarily affordable with a to-go option available and a good selection overall.

It was my first time and never again. The broad at the front counter was rude and I dont give rude people my money. Food was not all that great either and prices were high.

Darn good lunch buffet at a great price. They knock a buck off the price if you pay with cash too. Better than many more presumptuous and expensive Chinese restaurants.

Not much to look at but very very clean and the food is excellent, top quality. Some of the best Singapore Mei Fun in Omaha, or anywhere. They know their curry dishes
