    Good food and all but just noticed on my bank account that they decided to add a $6 tip on my transaction when I had already left cash on the table. Never did I think that they were ever going to do this while doing a debit card transaction so be careful people when you pay with your debit card and you leave cash on the table and you don't write anything down on your tip area, they're having the audacity to write down a tip for themselves again. I got charged $62.35 this sunday 2/27/22 and I left $8 of cash before leaving for the waitress. Now my bank statement shows a charge of $68.35. I wonder how many times they have done this and no one has noticed. Keep a look out for your bank statement.

    After reading all the high praise and seeing the 4.2 stars, I figured we’d get a pretty decent meal. I wasn’t expecting outstanding but at least good. It didn’t even live up to good. We got there 30 minutes after they opened for lunch and most of the food was downright cold. Got two different soups and they were lukewarm at best. The flavor was mediocre. The hibachi food was hot since it was fresh to order. Sushi was ok. Best part about the meal was the fruit and elephant ears dessert. I brought it to their attention and was given a 20% discount which was good of them. We won’t be back though.

    I can't believe I have never eaten here. Food was extremely delicious and HOT!! Will be back with friends this weekend! Wondering if the menu will be different for the weekend. Can't wait to find out! Such a wide variety of food!!

    Amazing buffet. They had a large selection of seafood items. I could eat those fried crab legs and crawfish all day long. For the price of $15 per person it was a deal.

    There is a very big selection at this Chinese restaurant the only thing I wish they would do was add some seasoning to some of their food because some of it does not have any seasoning at all compared to other restaurants. But they have the best sushi bar in town out of all the Chinese restaurants. But overall it's a very good restaurant the staff is always friendly and nice I do like to fish up front. I wish I could take that home with me lol

    Definitely don't recommend. The only thing that was good about this restaurant was the wait staff was quick at filling our drinks and friendly. None of the food was hot, all food lacked flavor, some of the food had a chemical taste, and there was a large piece of plastic that I bit into from one of the buffet items. Some of the plates and silverware had old food on them. Definitely a disappointment and won't return.

    Good variety of foods to pick from including a hibachi station, sushi, salad bar and desserts. Most of the fried foods looked and tasted way too greasy. Our waitress didn’t come by to refill our drinks, not once. Restaurant is spacious with lots of seating available for small or large crowds. Overall the food was ok, but not something I’m rushing to come back to.

    This is the best buffet in Sarasota or Manatee counties. My girlfriend and I have been here many times and the food is always fresh and hot. The staff is very friendly and we never leave hungry. This is a great place to come when you want variety.

    Good buffet. Nice atmosphere. It is better to go there on weekdays. At the weekend a bit noisy and crazy. Good selection of sushi, tasty baked fish and good desserts.

    The buffet was really good! We enjoyed it and think it’s the best Chinese food option in town. I would have given it five stars, however the hibachi cook was unbelievably rude and apparently couldn’t understand me. It would have helped had he taken the ear bud out of his ear. Apparently you can’t get beef at the hibachi grill for lunch so I just got beef off of the buffet. Doesn’t make much sense to me to be able to have beef on the buffet but not the grill. Overall we were satisfied and will return again.

    This place is so dark that you can't see your food. The shrimp was like rubber and covered in so much sauce that you can't take off the shell. The hibachi was burnt. I think the only thing I liked here was the green ice cream.

    Went with a large group today for lunch. Our table didn't like it at all. The sushi, although a big selection, tasted fishy which means not fresh. Threw that plate aside. Appetizers were cold, the egg roll was slightly frozen in the middle! Yuck. The crab Rangoon were again slightly fishy tasting, ewe. Chicken was either chewy and fatty or greasy and cold. Rice was cold, very yellow, and lacked both veggies and flavor. Lo mein was cold and mushy. I finally just gave up after trying three plates of this horrible food. Sorry, they really need to step it up 👎

    The sushi is pretty decent and worth the price of the admission. The rest of the food is your typical buffet type of dishes. Overall the service is adequate. It's clean and comfortable.

    Went on wed night around 7:15 pm. Busy but no wait, plenty of tables. Large dining room. Service was on point, had drinks refilled and finished played cleared efficiently. One of the best Chinese buffet food around. Saw items being refilled constantly so no old food sitting. Lots of sushi roll choices. Saw ice cream and other desserts. Maybe 6 soups. Cold peel n eat shrimp, clams, mussels. Will definitely go back.

    They didn't give you a lot of variety of food. The variety they did have was on the stale side. The pot stickers were hard as a rock crab are gone was dried out and so on. They had a great selection of sushi. They had amazing service and a wonderful atmosphere though

  • 5/5 Dawn S. 1 year ago on Google
    The variety is always wonderful so many things to try. The staff is number one. The staff are always there to help with whatever you need. Handicap access able, the staff will even go with you around the steam tables if you need them to. The buffet is always clean, the floors always clean, the bathrooms are always well maintained. Friendly atmosphere, family oriented, even has a party room for birthdays and weddings or anything else on your list. I highly recommend this restaurant/ buffet and the hibachi grill is one of the best.

    I love their food I just didn't like that there was so much seafood. The service was ok. Kinda had to walk to find my waiter a couple times but she did help after. They have a warm, loving, family vibe that I absolutely love

    Food tastes good for a buffet style restaurant. Usually plenty to choose from and lots to eat. A plus for me is their Rainbow Sherbert. They also have several flavors of ice cream. Wait staff is very attentive. Kitchen staff checks on the various food bars making sure there is plenty to eat and clean the drips/spills made by the customers.

  • 5/5 Maria A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great. The guest needs to learn not to make a mess when serving themselves. We r all adults and we should be considerate. Don't have your young children serve themselves.

    Quite busy on a Monday evening. Very good hot food selections and flavors including crabs, crawfish, clams, mussels. Green tea ice cream. Lacking in the fruit department. Wish they had a noodle soup bar.

  • 2/5 Andrea 7 months ago on Google
    The so called “hibachi grill “ is disgusting. If food services were to check this place out, they’d have several violations. Service from the hibachi is so slow and area is a total disaster. The buffet food was ok, but not great. The place is just really dirty. So that leaves so many questions about the food and the food handling. Once for us was more than enough! No thank you.

    Great food good taste full of flavor hot and steamy and fresh I'll definitely go back ..Great staff

  • 3/5 V R. 1 year ago on Google
    Got here at 3:30, most of the food was cold. They had a good variety most of the food was seasoned on the sweet side which I don’t like. They had a crab boil that I tried and it was very spicy and sweet once again not my favorite plus the crab was very mushy. My waitress never came by to ask me if I wanted a refill I had to flag her down down. Seaweed salad didn’t taste right I was not impressed at all. Somebody said the sushi is the best then they’ve never had good sushi because the actual fish was very sparse on or in any of the sushi.
