The 5 stars reviews must have been written by either the employees or owner of the restaurant trying to promote the restaurant... You can judge whether a restaurant is good or not simply by seeing how neat and clean their bathroom is and their bathroom is dirty and nasty (thats the mens bathroom). For the food, its eatable but youre paying for the food hence you expect to taste GOOD, not just eatable. It is extremely salty. Im assuming they make it salty so people eat less and drink water more to get full and get out of the restaurant, for profit purposes. The choices are very little, not many on display for you to choose. Would I recommended this place to my family and friends? NO! Would I recommend this place to my enemies? YES! Service is good though, friendly and fast waitresses.

This Chinese buffet has a good variety of items. Plenty of seating in 3 separate dining areas. They do offer in the buffet, American food items such as pizza, fries, onion rings, meatloaf, and mash potatoes to satisfy those in your party that my not want Chinese fare. A Hibachi grill is available, which is included with the buffet. Everthing I tried was tasty. The service to the buffet and my table were very good. Though the price is a little higher than some of the other comprable buffets in the Western NY area. Overall I was not disappointed with my visit.

The food is OK for the price. There is a diverse choices but not much fish for a Chinese buffet. Soft drinks, coffee and tea are not included in the price. The service was terrible, the waitress was NOT PROFESSIONAL at all, she wants to take the order for the drinks when we were standing, she didnt give us the time to seat, they fight for the tables looking for tips. WAITRESS WAS VERY MEAN, SPEAKING IN CHINESE, when we finally ordered our drinks she did through the straws on the table without any respect for the ladies seating arround.

Great buffet! Lots of selection, great price, friendly staff. The only downside: they have free refills but you cant get your own. The staff was very attentive though to bringing refills. Tons to choose from American (Pizza, Fries), Chinese (All your favorites), Japanese (Sushi and a Habachi!), Italian (Spaghetti), and Korean. Didnt even get to try everything after making multiple trips to the buffet. Very clean compared to how many of these places usually are. Im sorry to say but you know its true. Will definitely be back here.

Very Happy and professional staff. Saw some negative and positive reviews and thought I would try anyways and judge for myself. Very Glad I did ! Besides the restaurant name coming through the staff (very friendly ), the buffet choices and quality are awesome ! Been to a lot of buffets, but never to one that had over three choices of flounder and one particular item I had to try... frog legs... Yummy ! Ribs, chicken, and duck very tasty too ! YOU definitely will enjoy this family style buffet !

We usually order takeout off the menu and it is always excellent. Sometimes we do takeout from the buffet, and its just as good and still hot when we get home. My only bad experience was when I ordered the Butter Chicken thinking it was a take on Indian Butter Chicken (makhani). However, it was just southern-style fried chicken with a ridiculous amount of butter on it - so much that it was leaking out of the bag.

In comparison to the other Chinese buffets weve been to: cleaner than average buffet weve been in, and the service was fine. However the food was all rather bland, and a few things were cold. They did have quality ice cream though, it saved the day! The price was also higher than usual for similar (49 before tip for 2 adults and 2 kids). So in the end I wouldnt return, plenty of other choices in the area.

Ate at the Buffet last evening around 7:30pm which resulted in all of us getting food poisoning. Violently sick all evening. Reported to the Erie County Health Department 4/30/14. Sampled a little bit of everything (fish, chicken, beef, clams, shrimp, salad, vegs, pasta, etc). Food was not hot, just luke warm or cold.

It is what is. Definitely not the worst Chinese food Ive ever had. Its a good buffet. If youre looking for something that will blow your mind, why go to a buffet? If youre looking for something that hits the spot and fills you up (for as long as Chinese food can) And its the closest one, go for it.

It was okay, the food could have been better and the service was good with the exception of being kind of forgotten about and having to wave a waitress down periodically for drink refills! I didnt get a fortune in my cookie but for the price this hole in the wall buffet isnt all to shabby!

Nice selection of Chinese American dishes, sushi and grilled items in a very clean and bright setting. Very helpful staff. Buffet is fresh and well stocked and the take out menu is also a good value. Much better than most buffet style restaurants in the area.

It has a pretty normal Chinese buffet but it does also offer sushi and an area with some American fare plus some fruit choices. It does offer takeout but the menu is different. You can takeout the buffet but its charged by the pound.

Food was nice & hot and fresh even though it was packed the waitress put our drinks on the wrong table & forgot our silverware she was good about it though , couldnt blame her with the amount of tables she was taking care of .

I have ate all around the united states and this resturant was blah at best. Service was ok but the waitress seemed to lurk over you as if you were going to try and stuff a few egg rolls in your pocket for the road

This restaurant doesnt accept NYS tax exempt forms. I work at a non-for-profit and I took a large group of clients here. After we are seated and order they informed me that they dont accept tax exempt forms. ugh

A great selection, but unlike the name of the establishment, the employees arent very friendly - Id still go here once in a while though. Its a decent place to go if youre hungry and in the area.
