The food was okay. Some items were fresh. Nothing was really hot or even warm. One gentlemen that worked there was sitting at a table behind us with some other employees rolling silverware. The gentleman talked constantly on fallen ear, as no-one at the table with him was listening or even showed interest. Also, his phone was constantly going off with this ridiculous song that was incredibly loud. Not to mention he was touching the ice cream with his hand as he scooped it into his bowl. Thankfully we had already gotten our dessert, but unacceptable in a restaurant.. and that goes for anybody. It also didnt help that two of the waitresses stood rather close to the table talking and watching us eat, as they were waiting for us to leave. The place was not busy at all. As soon as we stood up to leave, they pounced to clean the table and grab their tip. Even our fortune cookies were crushed. Definitely not the most peaceful or comfortable place to eat, but all in all not horrible either.

This is Front Royals only large-scale Chinese buffet. Naturally, that makes it the best one around. They do have a great selection and the food is always fresh and tasty. Sushi (its kind of "bush league" sushi: California Rolls, Philly Rolls, etc.--often including the mysterious "Krab" meat, but also with shrimp and "real" fish) is a bonus and my daughter loves it. Its good for what it is. Mongolian barbecue is offered, but Ive never tried it. The selection of foods looks good and everything is kept fresh as far as I can tell. Ive never ordered off the menu here. After all, why ask for a menu when there are so many things to try on the buffet? Notable items: coconut shrimp and chicken (seem to be offered sporadically, but always welcome), peanut chicken, hot and sour soup, pepper chicken, fried dumplings. The price is reasonable here. Its always worth the trip.

The service was horrible, we had a very rude waitress she had a very bad attitude from the start, she even cut in front of me to make me drop my food, I should of dropped it on her head. Never asked us if we wanted refills. When we walked in never asked us if we needed a booster seat for our little girl. Did not come to take my husbands order he did not want buffet, I had to get up and give her his order. Would not even bring us the check no thank you no nothing. If you want to waste your money, go ahead but beware and please be warned........... We will never set foot in this place again. We would rather drive to Winchester to have nice service and good food.

We go here often for chinese food, Tonight we went for dinner at 5:30, the food was jaw dropping horrible. It was obvious they just let the food sit on the buffet until it is eaten no matter how long its been out there. The food was so old that the pot stickers had dried up to the point of cracking open. I ate a bowl of soup then complained about how bad it was, they did nothing, the waitress appologized many times, the manager played like he didnt understand any english, how convienent. They charged me full price anyway. I will NEVER return to that place.

Wait staff is antisocial and the two girls we spoke to did not speak English. The food was old, dried up and crusty. My daughter couldnt even stomach the white rice it was so crunchy. They definitely do not replenish based on time on buffet and most items offered did not get refilled. The worst waist of 20 bucks, Ramen noodles with a can of tuna fish would be more appetizing.

I dont write many reviews but this pissed me off.... These people lied... on their website it says 3:30 lunch ends. I got at the desk at 3:24 they said its dinner. This is silly and immoral and really wrong... Its not the money its the point. Horrible customer service. I would watch any business or restaurant that lies. Hope they dont lie about other things on their menu.

Great place to eat staff is fast and efficient always checking your tables for drinks and empty plates to pick up.The previous review dont listen to that the staffs English is fine and food is fresh on busy lunch or dinner hours.Highly Recommend for anyone looking to eat Chinese cuisine

Average Chinese buffet restaurant but for people that prefer buffet than a regular restaurant it is kind of acceptable. Comparing to Mandarin in Canada, this is 1 star :-), but comparing to Chinese buffet restaurant in the USA, this one is 2.5 stars.

They had a wide selection of food, our waitress was friendly and constantly refilled our drinks. They also had sushi, numerous choices for desserts, and kept the food fresh. Very nice place and definitely worth the price!

GREAT FOOD AND THE LARGEST BUFFET SELECTION IN THE ENTIRE AREA! CRAB LEGS, FROG LEGS, CLAMS, MUSSELS, AND ALL THE USUAL CHINESE DISHES! I WILL DEFINATELY BE GOING BACK AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT.

This place is amazing. The inside is decorated like a Chinese garden, and the food is great. Wonderful service, too: I told them Im vegetarian and they offered to make me any dish I want! Such friendly staff.

I end up here driven by my usual curiosity for trying new places and I dont regret. Few meals that I havent seen in other buffets before. Pretty much the cleanest Chinese buffet Ive been.

Food is average, the steam tables could do with being warmer as the food is just slightly warm.
