I DID like it at one time. I had never had a bad experience there till February 2015. The manager Is BY FAR the rudest person I have encountered. I know we came in late, I knew the food wasnt going to be fresh, but I didnt expect the manager to be so rude & condescending. I speak perfect English, my husband & children dont speak Spanish, yet he kept "trying" to speak to me Spanish whiff Id very rife. The waitress & cooks have more clad than this man. Other than the disturbing looks he was giving us the entire time, when30 min went by he have us our check. My kids went to get ice cream & day form to eat...he decided to ask us to leave. Because it was ALMOST closing time. He pointed at his watch& to the door..basically telling us its time to go. The place looks rub down, old, & definitely needs an up date. I My family& I will NEVER go back to that place.

In comparison to other typical Chinese buffet restaurants, this one wasnt that bad. All of the food was hot and the customer traffic kept the food rotated and fresh. They have all your typical Chinese buffet items, but I particularly liked the pan fried dumplings and their Lo Mein noodles. Some of the buffets Ive been to seem to cheat and use spaghetti noodles, but these were genuine rice noodles. They also have your typical dessert options, but I found it weird to see an open pack of Chips A Hoy cookies at the end of the dessert table. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, and the wait staff is on point when it comes to cleaning off the used dishes and refilling beverages. Id come back if I was in the area again.

As my wife sits here fighting back the urge to puke (literally), wonderfully descriptive words pop into my head about the food. Such as gross, nasty, overcooked, unexciting, bland, limited, waste of money, waste of time, weird after taste, disgusting and did I say gross? Other thoughts were wheres a hospital, wheres my doctor, wheres my lawyer and wheres the Board of Health? The place was busy so we thought it would be a good to eat however we quickly realized the other patrons most likely developed a immunity to the toxins they were ingesting. It was bar non in our 30+ years the worst food ever and Ive eaten Goat Bile Soup (true story). Fortunately we never have to eat there again!

Its not very fancy. Although, they have superb food. I reccomend this highly. Its cheaper than most buffets and the seating is really decent. Its not a big of a selection choice but that have things youll make due with the present food. Their food is always warm or fresh and you can always count on their food desserts for a finish. For a first timer I would highly recommend their cream puff wontons. Its discount and not too shabby. This is an ideal family restaurant, and maybe even a date. Staff is really nice and polite. To be honest I cant describe much in words; youll have to see for yourself. Dont let that first look fool you!

Today was my first time to visit this eatery with my wife. The food is excellent and the place is clean. The young man bought my check to the table and my wife had not finished eating so I went forward and paid with my credit card. My wife and I left the eatery and the young man who waited on us came running out and said that we had not paid. I went inside with him and the young female who rang up my check couldnt find the check. I like the food but not the sloppy clerking at this eatery. Good thing I had the receipt or I could have been arrested.

If you like old cold food and looking at a hole in the wall type of place. Then this is the place for you .or if a zombie bit you then this is a cold blooded place for you ....if its real stringy its cat meat if its real tough its a dog ...looks like a dump ...what Are they doing with the money ? This is the most honest post on here ...but hey if theres no more food on earth then yes eat here ...they should charge 8.00 for the buffet. Honestly plasce is a sight id rather eat in your bathroom at home than here...

I have eaten here about half a dozen times. The place is a little run down and just the overall appearance looks a little dirty, so I do wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. The bathrooms are always clean though. Food is what you would expect at a buffet, not high quality and only luke warm usually, but it does satisfy the need when you have that hankering for unlimited Chinese food! I keep coming back so not all bad. I always love grabbing an ice cream cone on my way out.☺

Nearly every time without fail when my husband and I go here to eat, they always want to seat us in the very far back room furthest away from the buffet even though there are plenty of seats available in the front. The other night I flat told them I was tired of always being put in the back, and they either seated us in the front, or we would go somewhere else. This is the only Chines buffet in town, so when we want the variety of a buffet, this is what we have to deal with.

If i could give this place a review lower than Poor/Fair i would and it would be HORRIBLE. First the place doesnt look appealing at all. Next they give us a booth, but when my wife and i return, someone is in our seat. I tell the waiter who then tells us to go to the back room which looks like a hurricane Ike rolled thru. The blinds are all beat up and windows dirty as hell. Worst of all the service SUCKS. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE NOT WORTH IT.

Well I have had a lot worse, but Ive had better too. They are very friendly people & I like to go here after I get out of class sometimes if Im just craving Chinese and need to eat quickly before my next class. They dont have very many beef dishes though,but it is pretty good. Its a lot better then another Chinese buffet on 45, at the Dickinson exit.

It was "ok". Typical Chinese buffet spot thats a little run down and needs a makeover. They had little crawfish and Vietnamese spring rolls which is something I havent seen. Because Im half Chinese I tend to be particular about Chinese food and the food here was just average. We might be back

Best Buffet to go to. All food is good and always have a good supply on the buffet. Always friendly staff and owners always greet you at the door..No matter if u bring 2 ppl or 8ppl service and food is always the same and great. They also have unlimited crawfish year round. Yummy
