As other reviewers have stated in their critique of this establishment, the food is, well scarce! Its a VERY small buffet and if you are expecting something similar to Jumbo China buffet here you may as well actually eat there instead of this place becuase they do not even compare! Not only is the buffet selection small (which I ordinarily would have no issue with as long as plenty of food is brought out and it is tasteful) but the amount of food that is placed at the buffet for consumption amounts to about a plate full if that! As I write this Im waiting for more "General Toso" chicken to be brought out becuase the person in front of me took the whole thing and that didnt even fill a plate! When I brought this to the attention of the employee she happlily said something to the chef in the back and more was brought out. I fully understand you dont want to waste food but common! Quality of food is about average but I must say the place is clean! Even though Jumbo China has a bigger selection and the food quality may be a notch higher, I feel relatively safe eating what they have with a sense that they practice acceptable standards of cleanliness. Although the place is new so it would be pretty clean anyways. I ordered a water instead of a soda and the water tasted like it was tainted with a perfume or air freshener of some type; needless to say I was unable to finish it. The staff here are extremely pleasant and pretty helpful; they are not pushy like the employees at Jumbo China who literally chase you out the door looking for a tip! The waitress just brought me another water after I made mention of the foul test in the water I had. Well the replacment was not much better. In conclusion, I dont think this place is worth the money - Im sorry. In good faith I simply would not be able to recommend this place to somebody looking for a good lunch or dinner spot. This establishment leaves quite a bit to be desired.

THEY WATER THE DRINKS DOWN. Acted like me and my boyfriend wouldnt notice. Not sure if this is an all the time thing. Also, I paid $18 and some change for the lunch buffet. Which is ridiculous because there isnt many options. The food was okay, nothing different from Jumbo China, which is $30 for two even for the dinner buffet, and has way more options. Kinda feel like the price is a rip off. Staff was friendly but I literally watched this girl put water in my soda. Would rather spend $12 more dollars and get 50+ options at Jumbo, think Ill stick to that.

We live right up the street in Shillington and have come here twice already since the buffet opened. Like any new restaurant they have growing pains. Most food was hot and fresh. It has all of your traditional Chinese foods. There was a larger crowd the second time we went. You have to go into a new place with realistic expectations. We will definitely be back in the near future! Hope they stay in business because they really are trying, food is good and staff is very friendly.

0 Stars. I ordered chicken chow mien and they dont even tell you it doesnt come with noodles. But the whole overall taste is just PURE disgusting. 10/10 worst Chinese food i have ever had. It taste like everything was just soaking in water. No taste, no thickness, nothing. I HIGHLY recommend NOT eating here. P.S. I gave a star because I had too. P.S.S. I saw a comment about credit card fraud after I used my CC already, so I will be looking for it

SMALL place but loaded with lots of choices. food is always hot and fresh. BEST buffet price in town, no body can beat. lunch buffet $7.25, dinner buffet $8.99 all you can eat, the fried chicken it self is worth of $8.99. I LOVE this place would recommend to all my friends and family. THANKS STAFFS FOR THEYRE HARDWORK.

Not hot and noodles were still hard. Not large selection. When we walked in cashier on phone so we waited. Then she hung up and we thought we were next to be waited on only the phone rang again and she answered it and helped them...we stood there. Should have been a sign...oh well, live and learn.

We enjoyed our visit. The restaurant was not as busy as some of the larger buffets, so we could relax and enjoy our meal. The food selection was not as large as some of the other larger buffets but certainly enough to satisfy. The restaurant was clean, prices were reasonable, and service was good.

Was there 2 times. Food was good for the price. Last time there I used my credit card. Next day someone tried to use my card number in Philly. Lucky the card company spotted it. It was the only place used in sum time. Good food but dont use your credit card there.

Staff was friendly, but food was scarce. Asked for more, and got asked how many in return... not very professional. Food was mediocre at best. Had higher expectations, probably will not return.
