Will be returning at some point I'm sure.

    I love this place. Large selection. Good food. All you can eat. My favorite dish is the Black Pepper Chicken. This is my favorite Chinese Buffet, unless I am craving Egg Foo Young, then I go to Kwando in Chico. :-)

    Nice environment, spacious! Ok buffet. My husband and kids loved it. Our Kids are 4, 9. 12 and 13. Wide variety but if you like salad this is NOT the place for you. On their salad /fruit bar, only lettuce and ranch dressing available. But they do have fruit salad, potatoe /macaroni salad and sushi rolls. Some of the seafood tasted very off. Liked their potstickers and apple pie stuff yummy. They have pizza and good selection for kids. A bit higher priced as lunch is $13.49 adult. And over 9 is charged adult price! $94.71 total for lunch! So maybe leave the older kids age 9+ at home! Laughing! Very clean bathrooms.

    Family friendly, it depends on the time you go and who's doing the cooking, but most recently have had good eats there... my daughter's favorite place when she's extra hungry and we love the fountain

    I came here to eat and I got ONE cookie to-go after dining in. Take note, I only ate half a plate of food and left a $7 tip. I just wanted a cookie on my way out because I was craving a sweet. I got the cookie and I went to pay. The owner charged me EXTRA for the cookie. He said I needed to eat while sitting down and since I wasn’t, I had to pay extra for ONE cookie! I shouldn’t have left the tip at the table! Never come here unless you want to be mistreated and overcharged!!!

    It's not something I would be excited about if going! The meat is tuff and there isn't much to choose from. To be honest this is not a place I would recommend and I'm not a picky eater either.

    Enjoy authentic Chinese dishes such as fried chicken, French bread, apple pie, pizza and tostadas! It was a decent buffet. I went in at 1 pm on a Thursday and the place was nearly empty. I received prompt, friendly service. I ate my fill. I was a little surprised at how little there was in the way of dessert. I didn't see any ice cream. I also never saw a staff member for the Mongolian BBQ. The trays were fully stocked for the BBQ. I saw a fellow patron load up his plate and ring the bell for service, but no one ever came to cook it.

    Pricing is very fair for the amount of options you have. They have a variety of it all: soups, chow mein , rice, chicken, beef, seafood, bbq area, desserts, salads and fresh fruits. Good spacing and tables for larger groups. They are sure to bring you the tab after you’ve been there for a few and I dont eat much lol. Parking is convenient and located right in front.

    It used to be a lot better over all I still like it here. Just for the quality of service food freshness etc the prices are way to high..... That's just my opinion I used to come here often now it's only every once in awhile....

  • 4/5 Kevin R. 4 months ago on Google
    Only Chinese buffet in Yuba City/Marysville. With that said, food is good, almost always fresh, and staff is not pushy or rushing you to finish. Overall 6-7/10. Not much sushi, but what they do have is always good!

    I came here with a toddler and a child, we got seated and we went to go get our food, when we went to sit down to eat out food was HARD so we didn’t eat, the waiter literally took our plates full so we got up to leave and when I brought it up to the front desk people they became very aggressive accusing me of wanting to skip out on my bill. Never going back again. Nasty.

    All the food here is absolutely delicious! I've been a few times with family & and everything I try is so yummy. I love coming here. They have so much variety of entrées. It's definitely a great place for Chinese food lovers and to bring the family for lunch or dinner.

  • 4/5 Ame M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Like the variety available.. Great taste but food was not hot , served myself and food was lukewarm.. Would still go back because everything tasted good, not like some places were dishes all have same seasoning and flavor.

    First time here, and it was pretty good! They do have a large selection of buffet options to choose from, from standard Chinese fare, to sushi and oysters. They even have a Mongolian BBQ section, although it is small, they have good meat options, I even saw what I'm pretty sure was calamari available. The restaurant was clean, well spaced, and comfortable. The staff was attentive, and my ice water rarely ran dry. A few of the food items were a bit older, starting to dry out a little, but it was only a couple items, and still tasted fine to me. I will likely come back, next time I'm thinking of Chinese buffet and I'm in town!

    This is absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever eaten in! The food was so disgusting that I lost my appetite and so did the rest of my family. It was irritating to even have to pay for that garbage. I don't even know how this place stays in business it's that gross. We all left there hungry

  • 1/5 Stan R. 5 months ago on Google
    Guys don’t waste your time and money! The food is disgusting, old, and stinky! The food smells like it was prepaid and wiped with stinky cloths. For the amount of money you spend here just go to Olive Garden and enjoy a fresh meal!

  • 5/5 Sandy H. 1 year ago on Google
    I only wish we had this buffet where we live in San Jose. The food is fabulous from the rows of sushi to the Chinese food delights, there are 3 more hot tables besides the sushi filled with shrimp four ways, crab, and rice dishes. There is also a mogolin BBQ , and pizza available, there are salads & desserts. I can't remember everything there was so much to choose from, all of freshly made and restocked frequently. This is truly the best of the best of Chinese buffets.

    I love going to this place every time. plenty of food, the to go containers are perfect. And reasonably priced for how much you can get in it to go container.

    I have been going here for years and it’s a really great place to eat. I am not the biggest expert when it comes to chinese food, in particular, but, as a picky eater, it tastes great to me. Over time, it has unfortunately increased its prices, which is why I recommend taking out, making it about 25% cheaper than if you were to eat in. I take as much as I can when taking out. Sushi, chow mein, steamed rice, pot stickers, and even some of their dessert options. Overall, great food, sad prices.

  • 5/5 Jim Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The Tasty Buffet is TASTY!!! And the staff is friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed it, as did my daughter and her kids. I don't live here, but will eat here again when I come back. A grand experience all the way around.

  • 5/5 Timothy H. 1 year ago on Google
    For the price, the food is good with great value since there is no other buffet in the area. Love their sweet n sour soup and their seafood. Just go a few hrs before they close so the food is fresher. The decor/bathrooms are a little outdated but the food is why I come. Waitstaff is always accommodating.

  • 2/5 Janet H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is always the same but tasted like it's been there awhile the ice cream was good but the cones smelled stale and tasted stale.. I won't be going there again.

  • 5/5 Jerry B. 1 year ago on Google
    I Have Enjoyed Their Buffet For A Few Years Now. Food Is Great & A Big Variety To Chose From.. Customer Service Is Great, Lots Of Seating Room.. I Would Suggest This Resturant To Anyone.

  • 3/5 Jonathan C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was ok. They were slow about refilling pans. Food was ok not really anything that stood out as great. They charge extra for drinks. Asked for a refill never came back. When the cashier asked how was the lunch i asked if the price of the drinks included refills. He said that is nice and have a good day. So no refills I guess.

  • 3/5 Glenn T. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a Buffet... that's about it. Food is mediocre. The Mongolian bbq is always out of shrimp and the meats are in a solid clump to make sure you can't get any easily. Not a bad deal if you need to feed very hungry people but the quality is less than expected

  • 1/5 S 1 year ago on Google
    Our bill for four people two kids and two adults was $80. I am generously giving this buffet one star. Most of the items were empty and upon asking for them to be filled I was told that it was within two hours of closing so they would not be refilling. The items that were available were really underwhelming. I would not recommend this restaurant.

  • 2/5 Jose 1 year ago on Google
    Food is terrible even with the understanding of this being a buffet hard chicken is not acceptable. I am curious on the sanitation or cleanliness that goes on behind the scenes since even on the outside this restaurant is not the cleanest. Be aware of hard food that tastes like its been reheated over and over again. Mongolian chicken and beef was hard as rock so who knows how long its been that way. The only good thing was the fruit which seemed to be the only fresh food available.

  • 4/5 Mary P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great but the Mongolian BBQ was being cleaned when we got there. I never went back because I was too full.

  • 3/5 Kathrine D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a hit and miss place. Sometimes the food is really good and sometimes it is obvious that the food has spent too much time in the pans. My advice is to go in during the peak meal times.
