very low quality food. Its one of the worst Chinese restaurants i have been to. With so many other Chinese restaurants in the area i would go anywhere else.

It’s good not spectacular. Medium selection of food to choose from for a buffet. Still I wouldnt turn my nose up at it.

Really decent oriental American style buffet. They have at times pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. Weekend crab legs. Standard fair of foods with a few i do not see else where. Usually have a wait but worth it. I give it 4 stars because it is fresh and hot food. Only hard part is drinks on refills.

Yuck, horrible Chinese food. The fried rice is very gross, too yellow in color, too much food coloring… Most of the meat tasted gamy. The fish is mushy and fishy. The dumplings are like stones! Are they even real dumplings or they are clay that are leftover from pottery making? I couldn’t eat anything when I was there, not even the steamed white rice because it was hard and under cooked.(My plan B was to just add soy sauce to my steamed white rice but it turned out that I had to leave starving even though I had my plan B). This is the worst Chinese Buffet I had ever been to. I will not go back to this place again. Life is too short for crappy Chinese food.

This place is your typical Chinese buffet. There are a lot of choices but some things can be hit or miss. It can get crowded with a lot of kids running around Friday, Saturday and Sunday so its not a place for a quiet evening dinner. If you’re hungry and want to sample a lot of things its worth a visit. Sometimes some of the entrees don’t look too good, kind of beat up. To me its a place I go every three to six months.

I have been going here for years and I love it every time. I would recommend getting here relatively early as it tends to get very busy, but even going with parties of 7 or 8, I have never waited more than 10 or 15 minutes. Dinner is about $ 14 – 15, but they have a great assortment that includes hibachi and sushi. Even though it is a buffet, the sushi is pretty good. They have a wide assortment of sushi that you can see someone making behind the counter and taking any ingredients right out of a fridge, so you know you are getting cold, fresh sushi. I am always satisfied with the food. The only thing I am not a huge fan of is the wait staff. They really aren’t that friendly and they aren’t as attentive as I wish they were.

Sitting here at a table for four… of course because we have a party of five. Most of the servers except one are rude. If you want to be crammed in like a sardine this is the place for you.

I’m surprised by the reviews for this place. This was my first visit and I was really excited about it… at least initially. Once I started tasting the food I wished we had picked someplace else. Lunch was just under $ 8 pp and dinner is $ 13 pp monday through thursday… more on friday, sat, and sunday. There is a lot of choices. One island for american fare, one for salads, one for dessert, one for soups/rice/noodles, one for fruit, and two for Chinese food. There’s also a small hard ice cream bar(and I mean hard — I couldn’t scoop it) with about 6 flavors, a sushi area, and the mongolian grill. The waitress brings your drinks and clears your plate. You pay after the meal so they can add any juice or milk drinks, which are an extra charge. The food was lack luster. Several of the dishes were just downright bad, like the trays full of brown lettuce. The chicken in several of the Chinese dishes was a weird chunky, and the sushi smelled and tasted fishy even though I watched them prepare it. We did not have the mongolian bar. The dessert bar wasn’t very appealing but they have this peanut/sesame/honey bar thing that is FANTASTIC!!! Definitely try it! The ice cream bar however was missing the toppings(maybe that’s only for dinner) and the ice cream was so hard we couldn’t scoop it out. Avoid the pizza, it smelled like raw dough, and the bacon wrapped fake lobster sticks were bad. There were no crab legs in sight. Do have the crunchy fried wontons… they were also awesome! If it wasn’t for the wontons and the honey/peanut bar the meal would have been a complete loss. The wait staff was very nice and quick to clean the tables, but not so quick on the drink refills. They also started putting dinner entrees out around 3pm, complete with a sign saying that it was only for customers who payed dinner prices… lunch runs until 3:30 so why they put it out so early I don’t know. Perhaps to up the price a customer had to pay if they ended up putting it on their plate? Either way you were staring at food you couldn’t have unless you were willing to put down an extra $ 5 per person… food that sat for at least a half hour before dinner service started. Over all the place wasn’t busy for lunch, but there was enough people filtering in and out it wasn’t dead either. The food wasn’t great and I was disappointed. I wouldn’t refuse to go back but I wouldn’t choose to go there, especially if I was paying, and I definitely wouldn’t pay dinner prices.

This place is busy although the wait(depends on the amount of people in your party) did not seem excessive. Once seated I wished we held out for a booth instead of a table in the center with people constantly walking by to and from the buffet area. The food seemed to have a good turnover and the workers were constantly refilling the trays. Food selection is about as good as it can get. There is something for everyone and quite a variety from Chinese, sushi, dim sum, barbeque and American too. Great opportunity to try new items. The price is reasonable considering you get soup, all the food you can eat including desert along with an ice cream sundae bar. Staff was attentive to clearing plates the minute you finished your food. Not really a place to relax and pace yourself but a place to eat, eat more, force desert because it’s there and then get the heck out because if you stop eating the staff brings your check pronto.

Large selection, but nothing that really stands out. Average Chinese buffet. Had one piece of sushi from the sushi bar and it was the absolute worst tasting sushi I’ve ever had in my life. I didn’t try any other sushi after that one, it was that bad. Mongolian barbecue looked promising, but I didn’t try it.

The staff is polite, the wait is never ridiculous(even when there’s a wait), the pizza is great!(What?! Lol) I love their Mongolian grill! My family spends a lot of our celebrations here AND it’s next to the best movie theater in town :)

Look, it’s a Chinese food buffet. It’s not a 5-star gastropub. That being said… For buffet food, its not bad. I’ve been here a couple times(with my dad, who really enjoys Chinese buffets), and even though its crowded around dinnertime, the staff always seems to be able to keep the food decently stocked. Good selection of food, even if all of it isn’t the best quality — again, it’s a buffet… you don’t come here with a discriminating palate. Lot of fried dishes, but lets face it, its hard to screw up fried food. Prices are acceptable. If you’re looking for a good amount of food for a decent price and don’t mind average quality food, this place is your nirvana. Seriously though… don’t get sushi here. Come on, have some self-respect. LOL Oh, and the servers wear name tags with names that are obviously fake. If your English is limited to 2 or 3 sentences, I highly doubt your name is Ralph. That made me chuckle.

We ate here sun night around 730pm after we went to seaside heights. Dinner was $ 13.49 per person and they had snow crabs. At first they were small but then they start bringing out bigger one. They had sushi but did not look good. It was ok but not worst buffet I been to.

Sprite tastes weird. Fruit it canned. And the food is cold, tastes weird also. Don’t taste the chocolate or rice pudding. Sushi isn’t fresh.

A traditional buffet place with lots of varieties from vegetables, meat, sushi, Mongolian BBQ. First time here cause I was very hungry. Due to my Javita coffee, just 2 small helpers, I was full even they are delicious & attractive. Many senior people at the time I was there. Almost all though I didn’t get a discount. Around $ 12.00 for lunch or dinner.

I’ve been here several times, & I must have been a moron to return. The prices are steep & the food is usually lacking. The floor is always dirty. The bathrooms are filthy. The girls at the hostess stand can barley speak english. EVERYSERVER I’VEENCOUNTEREDHASBEENRUDE. The only thing they say is «what do u want drink?» Then«have good night» thats their extent of english. They all have fake english name tags on. The sushi chef is an absolute nightmare. He gives you a nasty look if you take some sushi from his masterpiece he creates out of fake crab. He makes you feel uncomfortable to even take anything. When they refilled my drink several times they never dumped out the cup. They just kept filling it up, gross.

Food was delicious and staff was friendly. I was impressed with how many choices, and the variety of food they had. Unlike normal Asian buffets, they have sushi and a Mongolian Grill which is nice and gives you the chance to try things you might not try otherwise.

Upon walking in, I have to first state that since my last experience at this place(when I found a HUGE pile of hair in with the dumplings and swore I would never go back) it seemed it had improved, drastically. The overall cleanliness of the restaurant was much better, and I was impressed. The food at the buffet, just from looking at it, «seemed» pretty fresh and eye-catching. The reason I went back is because my husband goes here quite often with his work crew and he loves it. Honestly, I was trying to please him, so we went. I started with the fried dumplings, dim sum, and crab Rangoon. Obviously, it’s a cheap buffet, so don’t expect any fresh fish items here. Everything is imitation or from a can. I doubt there was even any crab in the Rangoon, but it was crunchy and okay. The dumplings were cold on the outside and room temperature on the inside. The dim sum was hard on the outside(it’s supposed to be a steamed dumpling with meat), and barely warm in the middle. I went back and grabbed some«fresh» shrimp and sushi. You could easily get better tasting sushi at a grocery store, not that I was expecting much-but it was not that great at all. The shrimp, when I tried to peel it, was VERY slimy, so I opted not to eat it, as that usually means its bad. The third plate I tried had General Tsos, Honey Chicken, Vegetable Lo Mein, Sweet & Sour Chicken and a spring roll. I have to say all of these items tasted fine, other than the Spring Roll, which was literally cold inside. I especially enjoyed the honey chicken, which was very crunchy and bite-sized. Lastly, I had the coffee flavored cake bite, jello, pudding and some kiwi. The kiwi was the most fresh thing I had during the entire lunch. The jello was literally so tough I almost spit it out. The pudding and the coffee flavored cake were both very good. I do want to say that the service here was excellent. They seem to have a great system in place that works. Our server checked on us very often and we were never without a full drink. However, other than the cheap price of their buffet, and the sake of my husband, I would probably never go back to this place. The food is just not good at all. I have also seen many say this place has great sushi. Please know these people cannot have ever tried real sushi before. It is ALL imitation fish or stuffed with cream cheese and cucumber. If you want to try real sushi, go to Xina at the end of 37 and you will never come to this sad establishment for sushi again. Just awful.
