Worst place to eat Chinese. Just worst experience. It was my first visit. I saw waiting line half way to entrance and the place was packed. I should have read some reviews before I came... Overall foods were not fresh, not tasty, some under-cooked, and soggy. Their plates were disgusting! One of them had rices underneath it and another had food stains on the dish. Employees are not kind. I saw an employee yelling at a customer because that customer was in his way mobbing. Customer was picking up some ice cream and Im sure that mobbing guy could wait a moment until customer finishes scoop his ice cream without yelling “EXCUSE ME!!! EXCUSE ME!!” and slammed the ice cream freezer door. Floor was slippery and I almost fall down twice. I simply dont understand how can this buffet is packed with customers with this kind of service.

Small food selections, cold food, not worth the price. I did a twirl in one spot and looked around, only to be disappointed with the small selection of food. The only good thing to eat is the egg tarts. The grill section needs to put their raw ingredients in the fridge or something, because they are just displaying raw shrimp and chicken with (presumably) no coldness to keep it from going bad. Maybe there is ice underneath the trays, but my plate of chicken and shrimp smelled bad, like they are going bad. At least the servers were very nice and professional. Food were for the most part cold and hard. I had this fish dish that was rock hard, cold, and too sweet. Beware when you come here.

This cant even be considered real food.. I think they raided garbage cans from other Chinese restaurants scooped it into large vats added a bucket of salt and threw it onto the buffet line. I am sitting here typing this review after eating at this Buffet today and my stomach feels like an Ancient Chinese Demon is liquefying my insides and is going to burst out of my Anus whilst clinging onto my Kidney. There was so much salt in the food that I think I now have Atrial Fibrillation, my heart is beating out of my chest and my head is pounding. Dear lord at all costs if you value your life stay away from this place, it just isnt worth dying from Salmonella or Botulism.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner about 7pm on Columbus Day. It was moderately busy, but most of the food looked and tasted like it had been sitting for a long time. The sushi was dry and hard, and even the clam which I got about 10 minutes after seeing an employee refill the pan tasted strange and was lukewarm at best. The traditional chinese food (the main attraction for me) was often either overcooked (squid, founder) or undercooked (chicken dumpling) and was all significantly cooler than it should have been. The only item I enjoyed was the tea, which tasted like it was brewed from a bag. Even the fortune cookie at the end was stale!

So me and my husband ate here tonight and Im not going to lie it was pretty gross. I love sushi and by no means do i expect 5 star sushi at a buffet but i do expect it to be relatively fresh, seeing as it is RAW! The raw Fish over top the rice was dry and hard. They replaced one of the trays so i went back up got one piece only to find out that the new tray of sushi was also DRY! The crab was so overcooked it stuck to the shell. The mussels were dry and cold. The seaweed salad was slimy, bland and left a strange after taste. We paid $30 for a small selection of disgusting food. How this place is still open is beyond me.

A nice $10 lunch buffet with ma po tofu, chicken AND pig feet, grilled sardines, plus twice cooked pork bellies, sushi and a mongolian grill. Finally civilization, but alas no sesame balls... calm atmosphere, lite muzak, lots of wood construction- looks like an old seafood restaurant. Dinner buffet- mostly seafood, steamed crabs, grilled/stir fried prawns... but no ma po tofu, cold frog legs and cold sesame balls. So disappointed. At least the big tv had womens tennis and the grilled sardines i do so like them with plain rice. Not worth the increased price. Lunch is better!

I typically like the Chinese buffets even the cheapie ones. Seeing that this place was packed with cars and the exterior as well as the interior was nice looking. I thought it would be a nice place, however, the food on the other hand was very bad. I could not finish anything on my plate. Even though there is a variety of stuff, the quality was very bad! I will never go back! This was the first time I was actually afraid of the food. If you go there, good luck! If you like the place, more power to you, but there are better places than this!

One star is way too many. Lots of the food was cold. Weird smell and taste to some of the food. Tried going american food . French fries were hard and cold. Mac-n-cheese noodles over cooked, potatoes are instant. 4 of us for dinner and we paid $59 and change. Had to find something. Salad, who can do that wrong, right? Wrong. Ranch dressing was sour, only vegetables for salad was lettuce with carrot shreds in it, cucumbers and whole big radishes bigger than golf balls. Top it off no regular tea. Only lemon tea. Horrible.

hardened, I guess I shouldnt expect fresh hot food at 9 pm at a chinese buffet. Then my son pointed out the roach crawling around and between the serving trays at the sushi bar which made me laugh because he had a plate full of stuff from that section and he had this dissappointed look on his face. After the humor I lost my appetite. As we were leaving, there was another roach at the door to wish us a good night that I took a photo of and am posting here. Hopefully the photo will not be edited out.

Am here with my girlfriend, and between the two of us, the only things we found at the correct temperature was the tea, pineapple, and the one piece of dessert I had. Dumplings, rice, fried rice, orange chicken, shrimp, and clam were all significantly cooler than expected, even when it had just come out. Aside from the temperature, most of my food did taste right. But we expected a lot more to be correct, even coming in around 7pm.

Absolutely horrible!! Outside of the building needs paint but I dont eat outside so whatever. The desserts were clearly frozen before and tasted like an old fridge with no taste. The hibachi chef had an attitude and was stingy with the meat. Dude I didnt tell you to chose this profession! There was a variety of dishes I will say but a variety of garbage is well...garbage. Will not be back to this establishment EVER!

We went at night 1 hour before closing and they had closed the kitchen already and were letting the food that was out run out slowly. So there wasnt any thing edible out. Everything I tried tasted like it had been sitting out all day. The fried shrimp turned to mush while trying to peel them and other things were cold and bland.The 10% discount we received wasnt enough to make up for the terrible meal.
