The MANAGER was pulling snot out of her nose on the floor, no kleenex, no attempt to sanitize either. If I could not put a star at all I would. My fiance and I went to dinner for Veterans Day 2014 to enjoy a nice hot meal. We pay 21$ and are seated. When we get our first plate of food I see my fiance turn white. She then says the Manager who had just touched our cups and seated us is picking her nose. To my surprise I turn around and she is knuckle deep digging in her nose while ON THE FLOOR. She continues to dig around, pull one out and roll it off of her face and in her fingers.There napkins within 6 feet of reach, and hand sanitizer sitting next to her. She did not attempt to dispose of it, or clean up the bodily fluid she was just touching. She did not get up and wash her hands instead she got up and grabbed a Childs drink to refill it. Yes we did alert the parents before we picked up our stuff and left. This was absolutely repulsive, it was not at all a quick scratch, she was PICKING her nose for a good 2 minutes. She had absolutely no concern about spreading her filth around the restaurant or the fact there were customers watching her. DO NOT EAT HERE!! This is the Manager that has worked here for years since my family started going there. She is a late middle aged asian lady, thick build, and her eyes are close together. If management is doing this on the floor, what may her and the other employees be doing behind the scenes?

I ordered from them their website for delivery it said it would show up in 35-40 minutes, I waited an hour called they said that their website wasnt working, but asked if they wanted me to have them still make it and bring it I said yes, I have waited for 40 minutes and it is still not here. Not good service wont be trying this again.

Good service but there is only one or two dishes that taste good, and several that are just edible. If you can put the food down, it may be worth going to a buffet and going crazy like John Pinette. However, for the money you could go to a better restaurant.

Food was not fresh @4pm on a Monday. Everything was very bland and most of it you could tell it was sitting there all day. Only thing good was the apple pie stuff they made. Prices not bad but would rather pay more for a lot better food! Will never come back

Want sure what to expect, but the food was excellent! A native of California where we have top notch Chinese food and living in Dallas for 12 yrs I was skeptical. But pleasantly surprised. Sushi wasnt great but the rest was. Ill definitely be back!

I like the food and the prices are affordable. Not something I would eat everyday and not my favorite Chinese but worth the money. Just make sure you watch them if they refill your drink because they sometimes touch the straws or rims of the cups.

The food is NOT fresh, everything tastes old and cheap. No variety, no salad bar. Their website makes them seem as if they are a good place to eat but do not be fooled. Spend your money at another place.

Service is excellent! Food is abundant! Very good Chinese American food. If you want authentic Chinese food you need to go to China and eat some chicken feet. Ill stick with American Chinese food!!!

This is one of the most underrated places in the city. I really appreciate customer service at this place. Prices are even lower than at all fastfoods around and its all you can eat. Recommended!

This place isnt that bad, reasonable prices, decent food, atmosphere is non-existent. DONT touch the noodles worst item they offer, everything else is good.

Very limited selection. And the guy who cleans toilets is the same one who cleans tables. Way disgusting. Never going back.

If you were the take every single Chinese buffet and align them from best to worst this would end up right in the middle.

Worst chinese I have ever had. Avoid like the plague, which incidentally you may incur from eating this over priced slop.

The food was okay, the atmosphere was really bad and service is non-existent. Two stars because its really cheap.

Buffet is not worth it. Its only $10 but there isnt $10 worth in desirable food. Its bland and unappetizing.

Passable Chinese food as a buffet. If you want "good" food, look elsewhere.

Limited offerings at the buffet and all the dishes had the same bland flavor
