Customer Reviews
Hot food was lukewarm at best. Restaurant is freezing cold at the end of January. California roll wasn’t that bad. Half the people in the restaurant are still bundled up in their winter coat while eating.
Great buffet for a reasonable price. Went here on a Saturday night with a party of 8 and it was super busy. First time going for dinner and was so surprised how busy it was. There was a line out the door of people waiting for a table. All food items were fresh and seasoned well. There wasn't anything that was overly salty or over seasoned. Great variety of items from seafood, to sushi, to French fries and chicken nuggets. They also have a soft serve machine that actually works!! Overall, wonderful experience and staff are very friendly and service is excellent. They have the most hard working staff I have ever seen, quick to refill your drinks and clear off dirty plates.
The food is great here and very cheap for how much I eat. I remember as a kid I could down 4-5 dinner and 2-3 dessert plates for less than $10. I don't mind spending an extra couple bucks now. Inflation is crazy. People are acting dramatic about the food temperature. I'm sorry, would you like to burn your mouth off? The food temperature meets the requirements for food safety. I personally don't enjoy burning my mouth to eat food. Also, the food isn't poisonous just because it was sitting there for 5-10 minutes. Go to NYC or Hollywood if you expect the workers to waste food just to appease you. I'd rather be able to taste it than to OCD about the temperature and sitting time for the food. I think it would be helpful if the foods came with their own "allergen labels" but I believe there's a
The atmosphere is a little dated. But the food is what you would expect at a Chinese restaurant. Some things are a little greasy, I would say somewhat better though. The food is constantly moving and being refilled. So nothing is sitting for long periods of time. It makes a difference! The service is also very good. Plates are collected in a timely manner so there is no buildup during the buffet. And the staff is very friendly, especially the waitress that tended to us. The prices are very good for the quality of the food for the buffet. I would recommend this place and intend on going back.
Too bad this is the only buffet around here. No crabs, no hibachi, half the foods compared to the other Chinese buffets. The dinner and lunch menus are almost the same, only the price is different. Most of all, foods are too dry and salty. Pops are without sparkling, and half the trays are empty.
