This USED to be a good place to eat. I went there weekly for almost 5 years and brought home 20-30 dollars worth of food for my entire familys "Chinese Night." I had been so happy with their food and service that I even left a 50$ bill for a17$ meal after Christmas. Unfortunately, since their "Grand Re-Opening" the food has been less than exceptional and the service is the worst I have experienced in the York area. 4 or 5 times in the past 5 months they have not had the food that is listed on the menu available on the buffet and the wait time is atrocious. I started going less and less until my last visit when I waited 35 minutes for an item to be placed on the buffet. I asked several times and was assured that the food would be "ready in 5 minutes" each time. I had 2 containers of food and was waiting for my sons dish- while everything else was getting cold. On my 5th request I told them I was leaving if the food was not ready..it was not, so I left without my food. I waited for 2 months and decided to give them one last try because the family loves the food so much. When I went in, I was accosted and treated like a criminal because I had left without my food the last time with absolutely NO appreciation for the years I was a loyal customer. I explained once again why I had left but they were not interested in hearing my complaint.... Fair enough. By then I had filled my take out container with a few onion rings, which I took to the counter, paid my 1 dollar and told them to keep their food. I will NEVER return to that establishment, nor will any members of my family, or friends and colleagues. I urge everyone who wants to be treated with some semblance of respect to follow suit. Fortunately Noodles and Company just opened up within half a mile of my former favorite place to eat. However, just in case I wish to re-establish the Chinese food night tradition, can anyone recommend a good Chinese buffet in York?

I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. Food was terrible– it was all either dry, undercooked, or had no flavor. Extremely little selection, just one line of cold food, a little area for bad sushi that fell apart, an old fridge for store-bought cheesecake, and a dirty freezer for ice cream. Their wonton soup was terrible and the wontons themself were doughy and had little meat inside. The staff were lazy and just waited around and did nothing. My dad even started to sweat while he was eating but he didnt have anything hot or spicy. Food made us surprisingly full even though we had very little food which was strange. Definitely not going there again...

Polite and attentive staff, fantastic food that is always being replenished, great variety and tasty food - reasonable prices. We go here about once a month or so, and are always happy with the food, the staff, and the cleanliness. Great place located near many other attractions and easy to get to (rt 83 and Frank Theatre are conveniently nearby)

"NO Stars from me !!" (Apparently HAVE to give 1 to post) Disgusting ! Pictures VERY deceiving !! NO "fresh" food ! Food dried to bottom of pans, cold food, fork wouldnt even pierce sushi, glass of water refreshing ~ dirty glass Didnt have the guts to walk out or complain ~ staff stood around on cell phones

This was the worst buffet i have ever been at. There was very little to choose from,food was cold ,sushi was hard and felt like it was left out all day . I will never give them my money again. Worst 25 bucks i ever spent. It would have just been better to throw my money in the trash and go hungry

Food used to be great, but not its rubbish. This used to be my go to place for carry out, but now Im left DISAPPOINTED. The food selection stayed the same, yet there is a noticeable difference with this new management. Its a sad day for my belly, and worst of all, its a damn loss to York County.

This is my favorite Chinese buffet! Ive been here several times and have always had a good experience. The food is always fresh and varied, and the service is excellent. It might be easy to pass by, but it is definitely one of the best buffets in York.

I normally come here a couple nights a week. Lately the food has been old and gross!!!! Then cashier wants to argue and say everythings fresh. Really disapointed that i have to find another restaurant, but my money will be better spent elsewhere!!!

We loved this place with the previous owners. The new owners changed some things, but its still very good. They now have a much larger selection of sushi. The flan is always good. Nice buffet at a reasonable price.

This used to be our favorite Chinese restaurant to eat at but this time it wasnt so good. The food was not fresh and the ice cream was freezer burnt. Very disappointed and unlikely that we will return...

The fact that we were only the third table on a Saturday night should have been my first clue. Food was subpar and minimal, I had to ask for refills on drinks and food, will not come again.

Best Chinese lunch buffet in york. Friendly staff, affordable prices, and a nice variety of Chinese foods. I go here once a week and it is consistently a great experience.

Mediocre food. Run of the mill shopping center buffet. Nothing was bad but nothing stood out as great either. If you are hungry and broke this is a way to get well fed.

Ever since they changed hands, the food quality has not been consistently as good as before. However they are still THE best Chinese buffet in the susquehanna valley

Food used to be good, now its kinda bland and mushy. They are more about just cramming as many people in as they can and less about service and food up keep, its sad
