    A typical Chinese buffet with many food options. Pocket friendly. The standard is pretty mediocre. I found the fried stuff having oily smell. The options are many but not everything is that good. However at least the food is hot, and hopefully fresh. Even, the fruits ( in the dessert section) are also not very good.

    We came in at opening 11:06am we thought we will have fresh hot food. But it look like what was left over from the night before and nothing was hot only warm and that worries us with so many meats food prepared on the tables. With salmonella and other viruses going on the temperature for the foods are really concerning. I wish will give away our $30 lunch food for the homeless instead putting in our belly. Our first time and definitely not coming back.

    The food was good for the most part, my issue is there was a dead fly 🪰 attached to the clam I got(photo included). The lo mein was actually spaghetti noodles which bummed me out too.

    Horrible. Food poisoning but at least the rude waitress saved my son from getting it. I went in to eat and wait for my son to get off work. During this 20 min the waitress kept coming over and trying to take his fork and say oh now only one. I kept saying no he will come. He came and I had eaten shrimp and chicken dish and was feeling bad already. She came twice when he hadnt even had time to talk to me about work and grabbed his fork again I dont know about you but someone to keep touching your fork doesnt really make you want to eat. So after wasting 12 bucks for part of a plate and teas we left The man and woman when coming in and out were very nice though. Disappointed in food and food poisoning is definitely not fun having to drive a few hours away.

    I liked the variety of items, Fruit, fish, shrimp, pork, different varieties of chicken, ice cream, desserts, pizza, noodles, and much more. The French fries and pork egg rolls looked like they had been there awhile. I got a pork eggroll and it was ok, but they put fresh ones out and they were better. Good food awesome service and reasonable prices.

    Not a good experience here, the food was average, the temperature in the restaurant was uncomfortable, and some of the desserts that should’ve been served cold were out in the open and uncovered.

    Currently lunch buffet is $12. It’s typical Chinese buffet fare. Greasy, over cooked meats. Over battered fried popcorn shrimp. Sushi was ok, the wasabi was very weak…maybe cozz Arkansasians complain about spicy? Veggies was best part. Dessert??? It’d do them better to lay out day old donuts. The tables attendee and the cashier need to get other jobs…definitely they’re the worst part of the eating experience at this restaurant. But for $12…may be that it’s a deal here in Fayetteville???

    Anytime we are near Fayetteville or Rogers we stop in here. The food has always been hot and fresh. The selection is large. The best part they have a hibachi and sushi bar! The sushi is fresh and a large selection as well. The staff is friendly and attentive.

    We ordered food to go and are very happy we did. Everything tastes great and the lo mein was the best I have ever had.

  • 1/5 Marbeya C. 5 months ago on Google
    The first time we came we had a very bad experience with our drink cups being dirty. We decided to try again as it had been 2 years! We came at 6:30pm Saturday night, the food was barely warm and either too salty or bland the hibachi bar had moldy broccoli and the meat was very slimy. The light fixtures were extremely dusty. The waitress was very nice and had our table cleaned immediately, kept our drinks full and was so polite and positive. We spent $40 and we only stayed about 10min.

    There was a sushi bar, hibachi grill, then your usual Asian buffet cuisine. We came at an odd time, so some of the food wasn't super fresh. It was overall pretty good.

  • 5/5 Jazzie H. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter and I love Chinese food and we'll usually find a buffet any trip we go on. This little place is spot on! Great prices, cozy atmosphere, fresh and good tasting food, good service and very accommodating to those traveling with service animals.

  • 5/5 Alex Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Don’t let the 3.8-star review sway your decision on stopping by. I’ve been here multiple times, and the staff and food are exceptional. Every time I have chose to dine-in here, I have left the restaurant pleased, with a full belly. They have an abundance to choose from and all options are decadent. There is fresh sushi, and the sushi chef is very friendly. If you want to smash some quality Asian cuisine, this is the place to do it!

  • 1/5 Nathalie C. 10 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere was muggy and a little warm. The food was awful, the only thing that tasted decent was the French fries that no doubt were store bought freezer section quality. The hibachi grill had very little options, teriyaki sauce tasted like soy sauce. The food looked dry and old. The sushi had black avocado slices on them. Nothing was edible. The bathroom were dirty.

    Went for dinner with the family. A wide range of dishes including quite a few shrimp varieties. Really enjoyed the spicy garlic shrimp. Nice selection of sushi and California rolls. Staff was very pleasant. Will be going back soon!

    This Pirates favorite in the land of OZ!!! From Springfield Mo, to here there is no better Asian buffet. However, I absolutely do not like the hot and sour soup. It is just sour no heat! But that is the only thing I can say bad.. that and no old tankard ale aka PBR. But I love my Heineken! Sushi bar, hot buffet, cold buffet, Mongolian grill, 4 soups. Seafood dishes and mounds of crawdads! Here is a sample from the main hot bar.

    Great food was shocked at the quality of the sushi for a buffet had me going back! Wish there was more fish available especially since I saw crab legs on the google photo but the deserts were wonderful and everything was hot and fresh!

  • 5/5 Ace L. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff, hot fresh food, will go again.

  • 2/5 Alfredo C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food in general is VERY hot when you grab them, a lot of the food is fried and there is not a lot of greens. The pastries were also kind of destroyed. The organization of the place does not allow for a faster flow of customers so you're always bumping elbows with someone (follow the line for food). The place seems like it used to be a lower end Mexican restaurant, and the "decor" seems like it needs to be renovated including the walls. You can find a better Chinese buffet not far from here.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey T. 2 years ago on Google
    They are absolutely delicious. I recommend trying this place. Service was great, nice staff, and the food was really good. Very reasonably priced too. My wife and I will definitely go again.

  • 4/5 Tim B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for dinner because they had good reviews. Service was fine. Nothing bad, but nothing great. I will say, i dirun out of sweet tea. And i go through some sweet tea. Now the food was really good. It was fresh and hot. The only thing I didn't try were the dinner rolls and sweet rolls. They did not seem fresh when I tested them with the tongs. I would go back.

    My go-to, good selection without there being anything left empty, it is your ordinary Chinese buffet but done better than others. It has that normal Chinese flavor without extras and doesn't skip out. Sometimes however the food is dry but not very often, there is always something to enjoy here. The sushi isn't as good as anything you could get at a sit down restaurant but it is one of the better ones, only topped by Tokyo House in Rogers as far as buffets go. Customer service is always consistently well and for the price it can't be beat. Overall 4/5, only drawback is atmosphere due to being an old Mexican restaurant building with no remodels.
