Everything was so appealing that I ate until I was over-full (and I never do that). A delightful variety of fried foods, fresh veggies, noodle/rice dishes, steaming soups, cold hand-rolled sushi and sweetie desserts! Oh - I loved it. The best Chinese food buffet I've (over) enjoyed in a very long time, with attentive service! Was about $30 for 2 adults and worth every penny
The place is nice, the service is good, and the food is also good. I couldn't eat the dessert because the chicken was too sweet.. My stop was temporary for a long trip, the restaurant is close to the main street which is good
Our first time here. Food was great, staff was friendly, prices were reasonable. And the place is very clean. Very impressed.
I've been wanting to eat here for a while so when I was in the area I took the chance and it did not disappoint. The Staff was extremely friendly, the atmosphere relaxed and the food was really good. It is also very clean here and considering how busy they were I was impressed!
The staff was very welcoming! Our waitress was always smiling too! The restaurant was very clean as well. The staff was always putting out hot food. The only complaint I have was the fried shrimp, you couldn't taste the shrimp over the breading, other then that it was amazing! It was alittle under $15 per person and we entered about 30 minutes after they opened. I don't understand why people leave such negative reviews.. Before covid I went to their older buffet and the service was just as good maybe better. You get your money's worth most definitely. You can't spend $15 on food from the store and get as much food as you do at this restaurant. I agree completely with the prices!! I 100% recommend coming to this restaurant.
Food is always great. But refills on drinks and your ticket took to long. The price has jumped high. But like I said food is so worth it.
I really liked the place, friendly staff, good food, cheap, had desserts and I loved that they had an ice cream machine
