    Listen, most Chinese buffets are hit and miss, where 40% of what you pick up you take one bite and push it away. This place isn’t like that. Great variety, including sushi that didn’t even look terrifying, everything was very fresh, only found one or two things that I didn’t care for. Service was very attentive, food was replenished quickly. It looks like your normal run down Chinese buffet, but the food in here is better than most. And, they’re pretty cheap. Less than 20 a person for dinner when most buffets these days run you 24-35. Will definitely be back.

    Nice place to go to. I suggest going when they first open up. The food is good here only complaint I have is the rice was a little cold. Everything else was good. It was clean and our waitress was very friendly and was on top of getting our refills quickly.

    We just had dinner here. It's 14,99$ for buffet, Buffet with Crab Legs was 30$. They have all kinds of seafood, meat, fruits, salads and sushi. Crab legs were delicious, definitely worth the money. I wasn't really impressed with the sushi. Sweets were probably homemade, tasted original. Waitress was nice.

    This is the best Asian buffet I've ever been to. I could say probably after 30 years, most are kind of dingy and the food always seems not kept fresh on the hot bar. This place, everything looks fresh, they are regularly changing out food and refreshing the pans. Excellent Chinese restaurant. If you like Asian food mixed with some American favorites, this is definitely the place. First time I've ever been here. Will be the first of many to come.
