This is by far the worst Chinese buffet Ive ever been to. They opened the restaurant and all the food was old and tasted cold as if it was from the day before. Even though they charged me the full price only half the items that were supposed to be out were out. The owner was rude and told me I couldnt use my card unless I spent $12 or more (as he pointed to the credit card sign) . The website says 7.49 but they charged me $8.49. what I put in my plate I couldnt even stomach because it tasted so old and staled. I had to ask 3 times for the soup to be brought out only to be disappointed with the lack of flavore. The waitressed are very polite and cordial. Stay away from this place or youll most likely get food poisoning. The only reason they dont care is because they are the only Chinese buffet within a 35 miles radio and only the second Chinese restaurant within that same range.

The food is horrible and not worth the price. This is the fourth time we ate there and the food keeps on going downhill. This sushi is not good and if they see you taking a few pieces of salmon sushi, they remove it so when you come back its gone. Employees act like they dont understand English so you cant ask them for anything. The food is not fresh, seems like a lot of food but it is not fresh or tasty. Owner acts like a cafeteria monitor. She monitor the food you take and if you dont eat it she make nasty comments and is confrontational? Why make it a buffet style restaurant if she is going to monitor what people eat? I told her the food tastes horrible. She was so rude and nasty to us that we would never go back not to mention overpriced for the quality of food.

The food wasnt bad per say, BUT the people working there are very rude and the minimum charge for a card is 12.00. I hardly ever carry cash. When I handed her my card she got very assaultive verbally saying 12 dollar, 12 dollar. So I told her I dont have cash so then she attempted to sell me 4 sodas to make up the difference. Complete BS. I ended up leaving a 4 dollar tip and then she asked me if this was my first time there I said yes and it will be last and o have never been back. These people are completely full themselves and this place wont be around long. My advice take the drive to reading and go to Jumbo China on the fifth Street high way you wont be disappointed

Avoid eating at this restaurant!! The food is absolutely terrible. There are several health violatons including raw shellfish placed in the same cold bar as dessert puddings (the raw oysters were right next to the pudding with potential for contamination), hot food served below safe holding temperatures. The restaurant is dirty and not very clean. Sushi bar items are dried out and not held at the proper cold temperature. Cashier was unfriendly and did not ask if we enjoyed our meal. The employees are very unhappy and rude. Miserable employees and poor food so not justify the overpriced experience you receive here.

The food was brown from sitting under the light for a long time and when I asked for them to bring out fresh food I was told that the food was fresh. Against my better judgement I attempted to eat and felt instantly ill! My husband told the manager that his wife wasnt feeling well because the food was not good and that he would pay for my food but not his because he had not eaten it. He was told that it didnt matter if you make a plate you have to pay. We did pay however, the food and the customer service was horrible! Save yourself and your MONEY go to Red Robin across the street!

Showed up during lunch buffet and they would not honor the price because it was 30 minutes prior to dinner. They told us that the dinner menu is better quality food. The owner asked why are you asking about price no one asked about price. They were extremely rude about the whole process. She told me Ive never seen you in here before LOL. Interesting enough Ive been to their lunch buffet often so that proves to me that they dont care who eats there they just want your money so my theory is we pay for them to be here they need to get back in the boat where they came from.

At the time of payment, the cashier always asks how much we are going to tip, and various occasions say that the tip is little Al momento de pagar, el cajero siempre pregunta que cuanto vamos a darle de propinas, y varia ocasiones dicen que es poca la propina

I dont know what these people are talking about. I have been patronizing not only their buffet but also their prior location Xiang Shan Restaurant since they set up shop in this town may years ago and I have always had a pleasant experience. The owners are very nice and if there is any kind of a problem they never have any issues rectifying it. Also I have NEVER tasted any vinegar in any of their foods. I would say if your undecided go ahead and give them a try rather than believing some of these ridiculous reviews.

We decided to save a trip to Reading to a different Chinese buffet and tried this place out instead. The people were nice but the food was not good. We arrived around 4:30pm and it seemed like the food left from lunch was still out. It looked old, all the meat was wet, the crunchy food was soggy and the selection wasnt as amazing as the reviews made it out to be. But once 5:00pm hit, the staff began to bring out the fresh stuff...to bad we were already full.

I give it. 0.1 only because my second time will now be my last time returning, I dont like that they charge for a two year old who barely even ate food on her plate . I was very pissed at the cashier and bad stink attitude she had towards me asking why I was paying so much and she yells noting free !!" Ok I understand but a two year old your charging me . My advice that place is not worth your money the food isnt even that great .

I just walked out of the worst chinese food ive ever tasted. I did give about 16 different items a try. And every one of them i bit into i did not even finish. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Fifteen dollars to walk out feeling unsatisfied, and wanting to go to McDonalds. And i cant stand Mcdonalds. But test your luck if you want to.

This place are horrible, nasty food (dry food and vinegar flavor in everything)and expensive. Courtesy tip??? This place not understand this word. The service are horrible and disrespectful... And you have to pay the required tip in other words is a obligation pay the tip that the employer put in the ticket... So.. Save your money. !!!!!!

Buffet lunch special was a pretty good bargain, and the staff excellent compared to most Asian buffets Ive been to. However, the food left something to be wanted. The sides like rice or potatoes were fine, but chicken and beef were dry and tough, also I am a big fan of seafood but the baby squid seemed a little too fishy even for me.
