★★★★☆ 4.0 William Carson · Mar 2026

Most of the food was very good. It was a Sunday afternoon so the food rotated quickly and was fresh and hot. The service was amazing. The restaurant is definitely a little dingy, dark, and the booths are all broken down, but the price was right for what we got.

This was a referral and it was a shocking experience. After observing the surroundings of the carpet and the seating. The booths were old and needed repair the carpet needed to be cleaned the food was not hot it was not what we were told. The bathrooms were not clean and water on the floor near buffet area huge safety issue. Lastly the menu for the lunch buffet at one price on the menu and when we received our bill it was $2 higher. We will not return.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! This place is awful. We went on a Wednesday around 5:15. The buffet does NOT keep the food warm at all. Half of the trays were empty/not being used at all. Only about 3/4 of the trays had food in them and most of it was American food like fries, garlic bread and pizza. It was unbelievably disappointing. We even stayed for 45 minutes and they never put fresh sesame or general tso chicken out or lo mein. It still cost us $34 dollars and we drank water…

Horrible service in all. My server was acting irritated at me and my family throughout the whole time we were there. Then I thought she was just in a bad mood so I tipped her $1, but she said their is 4 of us so each on of us had to give her $1. And she wall also making hand gestures to give her more of a tip. She was acting like a high tip was Necessary, I have never had any server in my life treat me and my family like that. Also adding on, the food was great, but because of the server situation, my rating drops to 1 star and I’m definitely not coming back anymore.
