    The waitress was very nice. American food isn't great, but it doesn't matter because everything else is great. There was a line to get in during the lunch rush. And the place is clean and very nice looking.

    Food was fantastic. Variety was amazing, unsure if it's normally like this as this was first time visiting. Waitress was quick to remove plates and keep drinks refilled. Located in shopping plaza. Will return

    My adult daughter and I ate here in July 2022. The food is very good. The buffet has many, many delicious dishes to choose from, including sushi. The waiter was very nice. Reasonable price for buffet. Also, seniors 65 and up can request a discount. 🫕🍤🍣🥟🍚🍰

    I do this every time. I give in to the temptation and then leave feeling guilty. It's an addiction. That said, this was above average experience. Lots of options for putting together a good meal, steam tables refreshed often and they were clean. I usually bring my own disposable gloves these days because I avoid touching shared surfaces and implements, but they have a dispenser (if you look for it). My waitress refreshed my water as needed, cleared dirty plates and brought the check when I was done. Other than a few kids who needed better parental guidance, this was a good experience.

    This place is great if you like water from mildewed ceiling dripping on your head. The staff can barely speak English, the buffet is NEVER full. The last few times we went the bins stayed empty for the entire duration of our meal. I asked one of the workers about filling up the empty bins & they were never filled. I honestly don't see how they stay open when the restaurant is in such poor unsanitary condition. The ceilings are caving in and water rings all on the ceiling. The bathrooms are always beyond disgusting.

    Food was not bad. Sushi was decent. I didn’t get to try the habashi, but my friend did. He stated it was good. Some stuff was eh, but there were stuff that was doable.

    Honestly love this place. But here recently it's like everyone that works there either hates their job or is OVERLY enthusiastic. I don't mind a friendly "hi, how are you" etc. But when the waiter is SCREAMING at my face and is wanting to have conversation while I'm clearly out with family and trying to enjoy my meal..... calm down. It's hit or miss with the staff completely. Either you have an attentive waiter or you don't.

    Always great food. I have never been disappointed and talk about a selection. You can't go wrong... Probably my favorite place here in Dothan

    We have a picky 2 year old but they have PLENTY of options for non-Chinese foods (pizza, fried chicken, yeast rolls, smoked sausage, Mac-n-cheese, etc). Service was great, our drinks were refilled very quickly, and the food tasted great. Some of the food was lukewarm instead of piping hot but it’s a buffet, so you get what you get. It was not cool or anything though. I highly recommend, especially for a family with young children!!

    Everything to choose from. They have sushi, Mongolian style where they cook what you chose on the grill, salad, southern food, Chinese selections, and desserts. The taste is what I would expect for a buffet. The temperature of the food was good. The buffet was kept pretty clean.

    Your typical chinese buffet in america , food was delicious , nee portions came out literally as soon as it got slightly low .. 2 reasons i did not gice it 5 stars #1 no general tso chicken... #2 im sorry but everytime ive gotten chinese food i have always received a fortune cookie 🥠 , this was the first time i did not 😞 . But other than those reasons i recommend eating here . The staff was quick to get your finished plates off of our table and quick to refill our drinks , a little too quick for the drinks once the cup was half way gone they would try to refill.

    Went here to have dinner before leaving town. Food was very good. Just had to ask the waiter a few times for my wife to get refills of her drink.

    Food was awesome just like the service I had been there before and had the same experience...they have a very nice restaurant and I really like the price said I would be going back and I did and will be back again

    I give this place a 3 star. I went with family but I couldn't eat because I wasn't feeling well. I never fixed a plate but I was still charged the full price. After explaining more than once I finally gave up. I guess fixing my 7 yr old daughter's plate counts as me eating......... their food looked nice though.

    Food is Fresh and has lots of flavor, tons of options to choose from staff is really nice especially Linden he is the BEST. The only downside is the men's bathroom it's dark in there and the toilet paper is very thin, the floors are dirty it is a safety hazard to walk in there from what my brother told me. Overall has a Wonderful Experience.

    The food was great. I had two plates of crawfish, and they were cooked perfectly. They came out of the shell with no problem. Also had some low country boil that was fantastic. Will definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 Dianne B. 1 year ago on Google
    Plenty of items to choose from. Was very clean and staff was friendly and on top of keeping our drinks refilled. Tried the ribs they were tender with plenty of meat on the bone. The sushi was delicious and very fresh. Fish was excellent. If I had to complain it would be the deserts. The cakes were pretty stale. But hey we don't go there for dessert right?

  • 3/5 C J. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good service.The food was okay,but the ribs and steak definitely need some work.

  • 5/5 Timothy M. 2 years ago on Google
    They have a large selection here to choose from including sushi and raw items to select from for the chef to cook to order. Everything I ate tasted great and was fresh. We went on a Sunday after Church. It's typically more expensive in the evenings, on weekends, and holidays but it seems the selection of food is better during those times.

  • 4/5 Bill B. 1 year ago on Google
    They have a lot of variety including sushi. My favorite is the stir fry hibachi. You can choose between steak, crab (krab), shrimp, and chicken. Then you choose your vegetables and sauce. I love the #2 spicy hibachi sauce. Then they stir fry it on the grill for you.

    I've been traveling all over the southwest this past year and by hands down this was the worse restaurant I've been in. I love Chinese food expecilly a good buffer, they seem like there not sure what they are. They do not speak English enough to answer a question or understand when you ask for a glass of water and there food is all over the place. They have sushi that I wouldn't touch because it looked old and limp, a barbecue, fresh salad mix that was brown and limp, crawdad... kinda strew that I think was supposed to be jambalaya but wasn't, shrimp cocktail and some rice with the few everyday dishes like chicken and broccoli, pork and broccoli noodles and the two soups, wanton and egg dropped. We stood online for about 20 minutes on Sunday and thought it would be wonderful but it was the worse we can ever remember eating. Save the $14.00 a plate and go to a real Chinese restaurant and spend the extra money!

    I swore, never to return here after a horrible dinner her 2 years back. But son took us here and we decided not to say anything. It was actually MUCH MUCH better. Food was fresh and very good. Sushi Bar was excellent. Pay as you leave made me feel as of I was not trapped to stay food appeared horrible and I wanted to go elsewhere. ... consider this now as best Chinese buffet in Dothan.

  • 4/5 Dominique R. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a decent restaurant. The waitress was nice and quickly had my party seated and drinks came back quickly... The food is good but they didn't have much of a variety to choose from.. I would rate my experience 5 out of 10.
