Most of the customers that go here are of lower class, which is evident each and every time we come to this buffet. Been here maybe 3 times over a few years and the food is consistently bad. The grill where you can custom order dishes was dirty and stacked with random objects except for a small portion where the individual was cooking - we didnt even have the stomach to order from it. Takes fairly long to restock hot sellers, such as crab legs, and inconsistent item options. Food has a weird taste to it as well, and they honestly do not have that great of a selection. Service is usually rude - our most recent waitress gave us our check and then literally stood next to our table until we were ready to pay, then as soon as we put our card out, they took it and started wiping down the table with us sitting there; really? Also, staff knows VERY VERY little English, much less than typical buffets, so communicating is hard. There really is no positive here, we are finding a new buffet in the area. I do not know what some of these people are talking about, this place is in no way the "best" in the area. Also, my brother and I had sushi once from this place and both woke up the next morning with food poisoning.

Although young, I like to consider myself a veteran of the Chinese buffet scene. Ive been to the good, the bad and the ugly. This one is simply the best I have ever tried. If you like seafood, you cannot go wrong. A wide array of sushi/sashimi, oysters and clams on the half shell, great crab legs (and not like most buffets that never refill it and the quality is bad, they have good crab legs that are always refilled), lobster claws, crawfish, steamed clams, fried oysters and if you prefer land-based food, all manner of chicken in traditional Chinese styles as well as a great Thai chicken, pork ribs, steak and of course Peking duck. As a great treat that not too many people notice, they also have sweet fried plantains. The dessert is decadent, many different cakes/cookies and ice cream, as well as something you wont find most other places, a chocolate fondue fountain. The popular wedding add-on is available as an end to your delicious dinner. If reading all of that doesnt make you want to go, the next three things will: $16pp for dinner on the weekend, BYOB, Joe Canals next door.

The service was completely horrible. We asked to move our spots because we didnt feel comfortable with people eyeing us. And they didnt care until like the 5th time I asked and they were so rude about it. And I notice the waitress and waiter keep looking at us and laughing. We clearly knew they were talking about us. Its clear to me they dont care about the customers. But thats not the only thing my eating partner gound 2 hairs in her food! Like do a better job. And in my food I found a small metal piece i think it comes from the canned food.And finally my partner and I got sick and it was definitely from the food their the clams tasted weird it was like they were barley cooked. Dont waste you money here go somewhere better were they actually care about the customers.

My husband and I and my son used to love this place. Until one day I came in around 7pm know a week night. I was on my cell phone when suddenly, I noticed a rancid smell coming from the food. It was the vegetable lomein. I brought it to the attention of the owner and was abruptly accused of disliking thier food and was asked never to return. I was treated like 2nd class citizen after my family spent $100.00 per week there. They actually tried to pretend that I was a trouble maker. Apparently they were CAUGHT TRYING TO SELL OLD RANCID FOOD THAT HAD BEEN LEFT OVER FROM LUNCH ON THE HEATING TRAYS. I WONDER HOW MANY CUSTOMERS GOT TERRIBLY ILL. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SHOULD BE NOTIFIED. I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT OTHERS FROM FOOD POISONING.

We go to the China Buffet for the crab legs. We had seven people with us. They charge more for the dinner menu, because of the crabs. They didnt want to bring enough crab legs out. The crab legs they did bring out had deep black circles on them, plus they were discolored. They do not have enough vegetables. Also, the waitress never came over and asked if we needed refill on our sodas. they waitresses were very ignorant, we hadnt even completely sat down and she wanted to know what we wanted to drink. It was not because it was crowded, the place was empty. Next time I will go to Habachi Grill in Cinnaminson N.J., they dont have crab legs, but a huge selection of meats, vegetables and Habachi.

Place had great food years ago. Went down hill fast. The food was cold even though there was steam coming out of steam tables. Food either had no taste to it, or sour and weird tasting. Food was either undercooked or overcooked. As for cleanliness after they wipe down tables and seats i was still sticking to everything.ground in food in carpet. Mens bathroom was disgusting. I had to wash my hands after washing my hands. They were staring at us and following us everywhere we went. Last time she was in bathroom for hours. I used to suggest here but wont no more. Time to go sit on toilet for 6-7 hrs.

I ate here before and I even work in the area. The food while I was there was ok but what I didnt like was after 1 plate, The waitress gives me the Bill. Umm if its a buffet its all you can eat right? My plate was small too because I wanted to taste The things I selected. But that was rude as she stood over me I guess waiting for me to pay. If you do like the food, youre better off taking out then trying to enjoy a buffet while the waitresses expect you to be done after one plate and watch you the whole time.

In town on business and been living out of a Hotel the past few weeks... And of all the places Ive been during that time. Hands down the Worst.(Sorry) Usually, I would have just turned around as soon as I walked through the door. But it was late and I was tired so, I didnt feel like going elsewhere. Next time I will trust my gut instinct. Now if you dont mind I must run. Feels like perhaps my Gut is going to get payback at me for not trusting him.

Around 2-3 years ago we used to go here every weekend but something happened to this place. Last year my fiance found a piece of metal (like from the caned food) in this spaghetti. We let it go then, about 2 months later we went with my whole family and again my fiance had the bad luck of finding a nail in this food! They just took it away and took of a couple dollars from our check,not even a full price for a person. We never went back!

Food was average. Service was horrible. The waitress was threw the straws at our table. Never came back to ask of we needed anything, and when we needed some assistance, no one was easily available. Complained to the manager and he didnt seem too bothered by it either. One of the worst service I received in any Chinese Buffet.
