"We go here for dinner a couple times a month. They seat you as soon as you walk in the door and immediately take your drink order. When you get back from filling your plate at the buffet, your drink is already there. They have plenty of people working there and you never have to wait for anything. In fact, sometimes it feels like they are hovering perhaps a bit too much. Almost as soon as you finish your plate, a girl will swoop over and remove it before you have even set your fork down. Lol. They have free drink refills and are frequently asking you if you would like more. The food itself is generally pretty good. Sometimes it's hit or miss and you feel like you probably shouldn't have come that particular day. But that's not often and 90% of the time its good. There are 4 separate buffet areas. One has cold foods. You will find fresh fruit, peel and eat shrimp, some salads, sushi, jello, etc. I usually will get their cucumber and tomato salad and some watermelon or orange slices from here. I tried one of their pasta salads once and didn't care for it. Very blah. There are 2 buffet areas with hot food. You will find one item on a carving board in the center of one. It usually has something like sliced ham or salmon on it. I have never tried either. My favorites are the spinach which is topped with melted cheese, sweet and sour chicken, stuffed clams, stuffed shrimp (very bread y but delish , Brussels sprouts, green beans, Lo mein noodles, fried rice, fried cheese wontons, fried donuts. I also pick the broccoli out of the beef or chicken with broccoli as I enjoy their broccoli. My son always gets their mac n cheese, pizza and crab legs. The 4th buffet is desserts. They have small sweets cut and presented in little paper liners that make it easy to grab what you want. I have never tried them but people do seem to enjoy their selection. Additionally, they have an ice cream freezer where you can scoop out your own hard ice cream. A lot of people enjoy that, as well. They have toppings like sprinkles that you can add. As in the service at your table, there are women hovering around the buffets. Always stirring, refilling, wiping, etc. I know it's a nice thing, but can sometimes be annoying. One older woman yelled at me once. Apparently I put a spoon back in the wrong place. Haha. I personally do not eat their soups. I tried the wonton soup twice (figured I'd give it a second chance . Both times the wontons were very mushy and unappealing, as though they had been floating in the sort of nasty looking broth for way too long. And as much as they are tending to the hot foods on the 2 center buffets, the soups are a different story. I have eaten there quite a lot over the past few years and I have never once seen anyone check on or replace the soups. Perhaps I'm just not there at the right time. But anyway, I avoid them. As for the atmosphere, it does seem a bit dark. It can also get stuffy. A/C would help a lot some days. The salt shakers are rather gross. It looks like a lot of them have old food stuck on top where perhaps kids have held them too close to their food when salting. The waitresses do seem to wipe down the tables well. The chairs can be a little rickety so if you are heavy set like me, choose carefully. : The outside can make the place seem a little iffy, too. A lot of times you will see someone from the kitchen out there smoking, next to the kitchen door which is propped open. Not a big deal, but you have the impression that there is a good chance they don't wash their hands when they go back inside. There is also an area with, well it's hard to describe, chicken wire, brush, etc. I'm not sure what that area is for and I probably don't want to know. The last time I was there, I noticed there is a garden planted on the other side. It looks nice and well cared for. I didn't get a good look but it seemed like it was perhaps vegetables and herbs. I'm not sure. They seem busy a lot of times. You see a lot of familiar faces there (locals and also truck drivers passing through. If you go semi frequently, you learn what is good and what you probably want to avoid. We keep going back because the foods that they do well are generally worth the trip. The price for dinner is around $10 per person for the buffet and fountain soda or iced tea (all you can eat/drink on both . The lunch buffet is a bit less in price. At the end of the meal they bring you fortune cookies with your bill."

Today, March 21, 2021, the food was once again dry and hard. It was quite unpleasant, and I think the health department should be notified. I will call them tomorrow because this has happened too many times, and the quality of the food has significantly declined.

This is an excellent Chinese restaurant that serves good food at a good price. The buffet has a wide variety of Chinese food (American style) that doesn't tax your wallet. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon while shopping and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely coming back.

I 've eaten here 3 times. The last two times were NOT by my choice. I have found hair in my somewhat warm food EVERY SINGLE TIME. When it came time to pay the bill our hostess was not pleased with the amount of tip she received--its a buffet first of all, and stood in front of us with her hand out saying more tip, more tip. Not enough. Will not be back ever. View menu

The restaurant was incredibly dirty. There was dust and grime on the walls. As soon as I arrived, I went to the bathroom, but unfortunately, my wife had already ordered a plate of food. I really question how this place is allowed to operate. The bathroom was in deplorable condition and clearly needs repairs. If the bathroom is in such bad shape, I can only imagine what the rest of the restaurant is like.

This used to be an ok place but not anymore. There is a man who I can only assume is the manager who follows people eyeing what they take, like watching your not taking too much. Noone greets you with a friendly greeting. Noone speaks english so when you ask them a question they have to find someone to translate for you. They dont make sure you are enjoying yourself. The food was cold or barely warm. The shrimp was in a pan with no ice. I just will not eat there again

It may have been an off night for them. The hot and sour soup was very good. It was then a hit or miss. It was Sat. night I would expect better) Served cold tea in a mug 8 oz. I wanted hot tea strange taste . Good items vegetables green beans and ice berg lettuce lettuce could have been colder more refreshing warm. My husbands crab legs were ice cold even thought they swimming in water on the steam table. They had watermelon good . Several items were not fresh maybe mixing old with new. That is not a procedure known in the true culinary world. They also block an exit with a stack of chairs? Why???? Servers did their work . They could not answer our questions. cold crab legs) Cakes were stale... View menu

At first, the variety of food looks promising, but the tables are the same ones from the 1996 Burger King. Against our better judgment, we decided to try the food, which at least had a decent aroma. The kids sampled macaroni and cheese, sweet and sour chicken, crayfish, crab rangoon, and egg rolls. However, the macaroni and cheese tasted like it had been sitting out for days; whatever little dairy was in it had gone sour, making it inedible. The crayfish egg rolls were dreadful, and I couldn't bring myself to taste them. The sweet and sour sauce that accompanied the chicken was acceptable, but the crab rangoon was surprisingly bad. It was essentially just cream cheese wrapped in a fried wo...

Was hesitant to go here based on the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised with my stay. The restaurant itself looks kind of shabby and rundown, but the food was quite the opposite. All of the dishes we ate WERE warm/hot, so much so that you could see the steam coming off everything. It was a cold winter day, and all the windows were fogged up from the heat! The options that weren't hot/full were refilled fairly quickly. I was surprised to see some uncommon dishes for a Chinese buffet there, such as salmon and cream cheese wontons. My personal favorite was the fried green beans: so many buffets overcook them and they lose the nice plump texture, but this place found the perfect medium betwee...
