One of the best local Chinese buffets, if not the best. Carry out lunch specials are a bargain between 11am and 3pm. Very generous servings with and extra eggroll, crab rangoon, and rice. Awesome buffet selection for only 7.99. Food is always hot and prepared fresh. Lots of really good shrimp and chicken dishes as well as a grill and do it yourself desert. No complaints about the food really except some of it can be on the salty side for those who are watching their sodium but it is a buffet after all. Also, they no longer have all you can eat crab which is a major letdown but obviously it was for sustainability reasons. Staff is friendly and greets with a smile. Restaurant is quaint like any other Chinese restaurant. Overall very happy with this place and hope they will be around for years to come.

I gave them 4 stars based upon my opinion (3) and my 7 yr old grand daughter (5). The food was hot and fresh and is relatively good but not great. My grand daughter loves it and we go almost every time she comes to stay with me. We shop in the plaza which is how we stumbled over this tiny store front. Another reason we like it is because the lunch goes until 4:00 so we can get the lunch price and there is a coupon in Reach Magazine for .50 off adult lunch or $1 off adult dinner but no coupons for children who eat at a lower rate anyway. As of 3/16/15 lunch is $6.95 adult and for her age is $3.75 so not a huge difference from any fast food chains, and the atmosphere is quiet and we get a chance to sit and have a conversation. So thats a few more reasons for the 4 star rating.

You will get sick at this buffet, if not by eating the food, then by what you see inside the restaurant by employees, we go here occasionally only because its close, within the past year I have seen the cleanliness decline and last month while dinning, I witnessed an employee take a half eaten plate of food from a table, then scrape the uneaten portion of sweet n sour Chicken back into the buffet pan on the serving table for others to eat, ugh just gross! I mentioned this to the guy at the register (he said he was the manager) he laughed at me and called me a liar, so rude, then continued to make fun of me until all my family was out of the building so unprofessional here, we will Never Return, I Know What I witnessed!

Terrible service! Asked for napkins so waitress walks off without saying anything. I assumed she hears me and just say to myself alrighty then. So when she comes she gives four of us 5 napkins.... the little ones lol and before I can say anything she attempts to walk off.... once again without saying a word. I politely say excuse me will the advertised hibachi griller be out. She finally speaks! Tells us to hold on. He came out after almost 5 minutes. They had no shrimp. The crab ragoon was anything but crab. I asked about that and was told they were out of crab as well. Mind you its like 3pm! Well after all that we still paid full price so we just kept our tips in our pockets!

I use to go here every week for years with my family and last time i went was around 3:45pm and they tried to charge me dinner... they said lunch ended at 3:50 and dinner starts at 4pm now that dont make any sense at all! And then they said they charged me dinner because my daughter that is 18months old didnt eat all of her food and that there is a sign at the buffett saying do not waste food... i dont think that should even be up, people come to a Buffett to eat what they want and not want.. maybe they shouldnt run a Buffett restaurant if they dont want any food wasted cause that happens at a buffett. Never returning to them again they dont know how to treat customers

I really like this buffet, I go there regularly and really like the fresh cooked beans and all of the chicken dishes. Their crab bake is excellent as is the beef with mushrooms. It is a charming, inexpensive restaurant, quiet so conversation can take place, staff is very friendly and accommodating. I give 5 stars!

This is by far my favorite place to get Chinese food on the west side of town. Its a smaller buffet with three different buffet bars, but they also have the sushi and hibachi grill, which is what sets it apart. Its included and you can mix and match anything you want and they cook it fresh for you.

Clean, fresh food and polite staff. Only complaint is the low rent customers who are pigs and LOUD. Staff sticks everyone in the same section to make clean up more convenient for them to accomplish. So be prepared to deal with belching kids and their moronic parents.

This restaurant is no good. I found nets in my pudding and cantaloupe. The cream cheese in the sushi tasted spoiled. The plates were very wet and non dried. I will never come here again

Bad food, and extremely expensive. $46 for 2 adults and two kids under 10. Rediculous. We could have gone to BWs or something better for that price. Wont eat here again.

I like coming here because t the food is always fresh. They have a wide variety on the buffet and in small amounts so its constantly being filled.

The staff was nice, but there wasnt enough selection on the buffet to justify the $30 bill we paid tonight! This is why I dont eat at buffets!

Fresh food. Fresh sushi. Only downfall is that only the same dishes are offered every time, but they are delicious.

Not a huge selection but every dish I had was good. Sushi, Cod, and chicken dishes were above average.
