I chuckled while reading these ignorant and ungrateful reviews about this buffet, trust me when I say I have been going here since I was in middle school and its INCREDIBLE. I been here for holidays, and even my college graduation. I live an hour out now in South Milwaukee, and still NOTHING COMPARES! I drive the 40 minutes just to dine here. Milwaukee establishments are garbage! Theres similar buffets in Milwaukee with the same name, one on Highway 100, and 27th. But all different and for me do not compare whatsoever. Less food, cheaply made entrees, very trashy people (sorry) Why else is it great here? Well... The traffic at the Waukesha location is different, its not on a major road or bigger city so theres a peacefulness to the place. Most of the time Asian music is played and the booths have intricate Chinese designs in them. Just very cozy here. 9 times out of 10 the food is STEAMING fresh and quickly replenished. The choices are amazing, hearty, and of high quality. Peanut butter chicken!? Who else has that! Love it! The general Tso chicken, perfect; juicy but crunchy. The thick hearty and flavorful lo main noodles are everything even while not being cooked with a meat flavor. The crispy flat dumplings with meat inside that you dip in the soy sauce- my ALTIME FAVORITE, no buffets in Milwaukee carry that entre. The thin white noodles are fantastic, the sesame pork & mac and cheese during lunch, the broccoli chicken, the crab ragoons, the thin pizzas thrown in for a pizza craving, the Chinese doughnuts, the soft serve ice cream, the insanely flavorful Horchata, they even carry root beer. Y E S !!!!! God I love this place, I always will. Im starving for it right now. May go here for Thanksgiving tomorrow! :)

This place is HORRIBLE!!!!!! The cashier at the front charged us the price for a 12 year old when my daughter was merely 10! (She just had an early growth spurt, so she looked really tall.) The food might as well have been cooked 3 days ago, and the rest are leftovers. When we gave the waitress a tip, she thanked us ever so quietly. The boss just sits around and glares at everyone while the other people work until they drop. The people just askes you a bunch of nasty questions about yourself. The cashier was nice, and he gave us some new dishes after as a gift. (I dont know why.) You cant eat without people staring at you. Just as you all know, I would NOT RECOMMEND this place for anyone.

This place is filthy. I tried to convince my party to go someplace else when we pulled up and the windows were nasty. Dont go in the bathroom if youre not that one deciding you will eat here. You dont need that kind of negativity in your life. The food at the buffet is "steaming," but when I took my first bite, it was room temp. Thats a fancy trick they have there. The food is moderately ok, but Im pretty sure a deadly case of food poisoning is in my near future. Pray for me.

As buffet-style Asian places go, pretty good...I would say above average. Huge variety of dishes, acceptable quality and often quite good, particularly the finger-food type stuff (chicken wings, pot stickers, crab Rangoon, eggrolls, etc). Decent hot-and-sour soup. Entree-style dishes are hit-and-miss, but with the ability to sample portions before loading up your plate, you cant lose, unless you are REALLY fussy...in which case you wouldnt have come here anyway.

Good food for the price - all of it is rather greasy, but that is kind of expected from this type of restaurant. The buffet staff is very courteous and quick to notice when a certain food is running low. I have always appreciated their swift service. I was mildly disappointed when visiting previously, however. We went earlier than usual and the sushi wasnt ready yet. If, like me, you go for the unlimited sushi rolls: dont show up until after noon.

The staff is always courteous and friendly! I also really appreciate they offer a take out option if you feel weird about going to a buffet alone, or simply for the cost! They charge per pound, and even if you FILL a take out container,its only around $13, which for the variety of entrées you can grab, you cant beat that price, especially if you like seafood! FAR cheaper than if youd ordered from a standard Chinese restaurant. I love this place!

I have gone a few time since they have closed and remolded and I thought the food was so good I took my girlfriends sister there when she was in from out of State (Boise.Id) and she had a wonderful time and experience as did my girlfriend and I! We can not wait to return again for some more of the DELICIOUS flavors and foods!! And the restaurant is Very Wheelchair Friendly! at least to me it was.

Interesting establishment, a good one to be precise; I go there fairly regularly. Yes, the prices have gone up a bit in recent years and the menu items arent spectacular. But the buffet! Very nice selection, very flavorful and solidly prepaired. The staff is not very outgoing, but they are discreet so service is generally fine. The hot tea is also very good, and is a fine complement to the buffet.

PORK WAS RAW! Dont ever go here! Took a bite and spit it out to see it wasnt cooked. Completely raw meat. This place is disgusting. Told an employee who barely spoke English, she just mumbled something and walked away. Saw at least 5 health code violations in the restaurant. Had a gallon of milk sitting on an ice bucket that was room temperature. Absolutely horrendous place. GROSS.

Oh my gosh! EVERYTHING IS TASTY Here. Lots of seafood, even for lunch. $9 lunch. $12 dinner. Clean. Quick cleanup staff. Fresh foods are nonstop. Never empty fresh foods. Great hot sour soup, only negatve---no black mushrooms in soup. Very clean restrooms. Fresh fruits. Free drinks. Ice cream. Kid friendly. Large family friendly. 6 table settings for groups of 10.

First: The food/buffet SUCKS!! Second: The waitress was talking on her phone as she walked around grabbing plates, but I shouldnt be surprised as the owner was watching a show on her iPad. Actually there was no music in the restraint, and it probably do the owner could hear her show which could be heard throughout the entire restaurant!

The restaurant very clean and well kept, and the staff was friendly. I thought the buffet was attractive, and the selection was good. The food was average at best, but would be likely to please hungry teenagers. Be careful if you have shellfish allergies, as many of the selections appear to contain shellfish.

We got three dinners: One chicken lo mein (which we found a chicken bone in), general tsos chicken (with sauce the consistency of "boogers," as my friend so aptly described it), and chicken chow mein (which was average at best). The price was right but the food was not. We will not be returning.

MEH! It is really nothing to talk about. You eat it once and then you forget about it. There is really nothing to talk about this place. If you miss some American Chinese food, and have no other options, then give it a shot. Otherwise know that you are NOT missing anything.

The beef had a weird chewy texture. Half of the time, the chicken meat is chicken fat/skin. The selection is kind of small but they rotate dishes every now and again. Taste was OK, not bad but not mouthwatering either. Overall, just your average Chinese buffet.
