Experience was terrible and owners acted foolish in front of minors. This is not a family friendly establishment and will not be returning. They also charged us for 5 people and we only had 2 and a child that they said was free based on height.

Not expensive and you start to understand why. Food is overcooked or not cooked at all. Found a hair in one of the shrimp dishes. Place is dirty and restrooms are awful. I would not recommend this place.. very surprised it has any stars.

Been at this location a few times. Don't have any complaints currently!

I was looking for a nearby Chinese Buffet and this was the only one in my area. The price wasn't expensive and I would say the cost benefit of what you paid versus the quality was good. The food was hot, most of it appeared to be fresh (meaning cooked that morning) and tasted fresh. The rice wasn't very good and tasted like maybe it wasn't cooked that day but I didn't want very much of it so that did
t effect my rating. I ended my meal with some soft serve ice cream that really had a great flavor to it. Overall, this was a nice place to have lunch. They gave a senior's discount which helped a little with the cost.

Good variety of food. They need to work on the temps of the food on the buffet line. The temps are too cold. Food was not hot at all. It's more like lukewarm.

Need to work on the restrooms. They are very run down and have no proper locks on stall doors.

Very friendly and tasty food, except for the soups.

The egg drop and the hot and sour soup had no flavor 😕

There is a decent selection of foods, and the flavors are okay, but, the atmosphere and overall quality of the food and dining experience is lacking. You pay as you enter the restaurant ($13 per adult which includes the drink) & seat yourself. The utensils are at the far end of one food bar and napkins at the far end of another. The restaurant seemed disorganized. I had to make several different trips to get my food, utensils and drink. I didn't see any soy sauce. Someone picked up my used plate with my fork when I went back to the food bar, so I had to get another fork. There was a dessert bar and machine for soft serve ice cream, but I didn't try either. The salad bar was pretty decent. Some of the food on one of the hot food bars was cold, which concerned me. (I hope I don't get sick!). This restaurant could use a make-over. We will not return.

Excellent buffet and great value, went here two days in a row. Been to several tens of buffets in the US and Europe and none of them has offered free fountain drinks and ice tea like this place. Also loved the dumplings here, very authentic. Fruits were fresh
