    okie this was a pretty much a nope. A basic run of the mill Chinese buffet. With the food that was pretty much tasteless, near burnt, no a great selection, expensive for the price I paid for a small spread, and not the cleanest. Feels run down. Depressing atmosphere. Only plus is drinks come with the meal. Not much yo say but we aren't coming back. oh food was 4/10

    I'm usually very skeptical about buffets, but I've got to say that this place is amazing! Everyone from the host to the servers were friendly and accommodating. The selection of food from the sushi bar to salad bar was enormous! The Mongolian grill had fresh meats and vegetables and made just perfectly. Everything I tried I totally enjoyed and no waste of food! The best part was that my mother who is a VERY picky eater, had no complaints except that there was too much to choose from. Will definitely be going back again!

    Has improved a lot since last time that i was here. They've added more selections and have also raised the price but is worth it. You have more selections and the staff is very friendly. Good selections, good prices. Needs some work in food and cleanliness.

    So happy buffet in general is reopened again! This place is awesome. Tons of variety including beef, chicken, pork ribs, fried soft shell crabs, crawfish, clams, mussels and variety of shrimps. There's also a hibachi grill if you like some fresh and hot meal too. Unlimited self serve drinks and sushi though I would wish there were more variety. Overall a very affordable and delicious place to come if you're mad hungary.

    It’s $22 on weekends and $19 on regular days for dinner (adults). Lunch is $15 Mon-Fri. Included drinks. Food was good. Crab legs were perfect. Had a very nice variety of seafood items. Sushi was well made and fresh. Drinks included. Food looked fresh. Will come again. My only comment was that the steaks were pretty tough and of cheapest quality cut. So if you plan to go there for the steak, go somewhere else. Not a dealbreaker for me, hence the 4 stars.

    Really like the way they cook the crawfish: super fresh, super hot, and super spicy. It's the only dish I enjoyed. Various soft drinks are included. How Smart!

    I absolutely do not recommend this place it was almost 70$ but I said its okay ill pay but when I got in there she kept coming up to us every 5 minutes and asking to take are food plus the worker threatened that if we didn't eat it all she would charge us more also the food was either to soggy under cooked or overcooked if I could give this a 0 I definitely would. And the salad was so soggy so was the desert also the bread was hard . Ps I had never had to give such a bad compliment/review. But this is just facts.

    A lot of variety of food; some food trays in the buffet were cold, but overall it was worth it!

    This was my first time here. It's not expensive and there is s good selection of food. Which I and my family enjoyed. My sin really liked the sushi and clams. I enjoyed the fish and honey shrimp. Only thing is, the white rice. They need to check on it, I got a lot of hard rice due to it sitting so long and the top doesn't stay shut tight to keep the stream in. They also have a food station where they make your food fresh too order. 😋 Other than that, it's great!! It's not fancy, but delicious food!

    I like buffet style restaurants and this is the best buffet restaurant I’ve been to, in terms of quality of food, choice of food, cleanness and service. The buffet includes soft drinks (you serve yourself), good sushi and fair price. $15 for weekdays and $20 for weekends.

    I love it here. We have our favorite waitress who we just adore. She works so hard to make it a great visit everytime. Plus the food is always so good. A family favorite. Best part is it's autism friendly. They always have a place so my kids can be comfortable while eating. One happy mama 💕

    Terrible place to eat. I came here today and paid $50 for party of 2 adults and 1 kid. We weren’t there for more than 30 minutes that’s how terrible the food was, I didn’t even go for seconds. Food was tasteless, hard, and over cooked. & on top of that dirty. I grabbed a plate with a dirty stain, left it on the side and the owner saw me and decided to put it back on the “clean” stack of plates. Don’t think ill EVER come back 🤮

    This place has average buffet food,so the ONLY reason I come here is for the hibachi grilled steaks. I'm a regular customer and for some reason the cook told me that I could not have any more. He was very upset and rude. If he doesn't like his job he should find another place of employment. If I'm not mistaken this place is all you can eat. Very very disappointed, will NEVER come back to this place again.

    I came here when it 1st opened. It was so good. Kept coming back about 3-4 times a year. It was still good. Now? Not as great. Got the hibachi, served up my own serving, and when the person cooking the food asked if I wanted it spicy I said no. He then proceeded to put not 1, but 2 scoops of spicy sauce in the noodles. This made it inedible... Decided to go again, maybe he didn't hear me the 1st time. Grabbed my portion of food, then gave it to the man to cook... He started, then left. He came back with a huge plate of food (3x my portion size), took my food off the grill, and threw it away. He proceeded to clean the grill, Then cooked that plate and handed it to me. It was missing things, and he replaced them with other things. I'm super disappointed since the buffet wasn't too bad. Some thing we're a little old and weren't as flavorful as other Chinese buffet I've been too. Atmosphere was nice, the redecorated, but was confusing since they used a ton of Japanese traditional art work instead of Chinese??? I mean they serve sushi, but American style.... I thought this was a Chinese buffet. Used to love this place, but I don't think I'll come again with this much disappointment.

    I’ve been eager to go to a buffet and I finally went and it wasn’t it. The food tasted like it was cooked in the same oil. Like if you can’t get the chow mein and fried rice correct, how is everything else gonna taste? I ate a broccoli and I swear it was the nastiest thing I’ve ever tasted. I tasted ranted. I quickly spit it out onto my plate and wiped my mouth. My eyes all watery haha. The lady working there kept coming and hovering while we ate like lady… let us eat in peace please. You may just be trying to help but it feels like you’re watching us eat the entire time. It just wasn’t that good ya know? After the broccoli I didn’t trust food anymore and lost my appetite there. I don’t think I’ll come back. How do you go to a buffet and come home hungry?

    It's still a good place to eat but they changed the crab. They are using the smaller crab which is not too good unfortunately

  • 1/5 Alexis Duran V. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to come here a lot back like 4 years ago and it used to be a lot better. I’m very disappointed with the quality of food they serve now and they took out the ice cream which is a real shame. The taste of the fountain drinks is kind of funky too so it’d be safe to stick with water. The food is also really cold and the first bite made me not want to take a second one.

  • 5/5 David O. 2 years ago on Google
    They just opened up again 2 wks. ago. The food is delicious. They have seafood & your basic stuff for a buffet. There's a cook take will stir fry your noodles & other ingredients you choose to have in it. Great place to eat & not crowded.

  • 4/5 Ma C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fair price, not much variety, but something for everyone. They closed on Tuesdays. Paid before seating. Comfortable to get your foods. But, waste foods gonna charged per pound price. Good amount of parking space.

  • 5/5 Ty N. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food for the price little bit of everything.

  • 3/5 Timothy W. 2 years ago on Google
    It was good but they change star crab to a smaller crab it's not very good

  • 5/5 zaynab 2 years ago on Google
    The whole place felt nice to be in and have a meal. I went for dinner with my family and we stayed talking until they started closing up🤣. Besides that, the food was absolutely delicious, every single thing they had was a 10/10. Their pineapple shrimp was my favorite of all the things I'd eaten, and their sushi comes next best thing. I didn't have much interaction with the staff, they don't have servers for each table like home town buffet for example, so I have no complaints nor huge compliments. I would've taken pictures but I was honestly too hungry to care LOL.

  • 4/5 Gabrielle H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went twice in one week. Food is fresh and delicious. I did not get sick after eating. Hostess is kind and ensures plates are removed as we went back for seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths..oh my! Also, they do charge for wasting food (signs posted). Sooo many options sushi, hibachi, dessert, soups, sauces. Delicious option and it was quite busy on both occasions although no one in line.
