Customer Reviews
I eat here as least once a week. The food is good. I especially love the grill where you select that you want and it is cooked up for you while you wait. We tried to tip the grill cook but we were told to put the tip into the jar on the grill counter, which we later learned went to the magement not the cook. So we tried to give a tip to the cook and he told us it was not allowed, that we have to put the tip in the jar (that goes to mgmt). So we stopped tipping. I think we should decide who gets the tip, not management. Clean restraunt. The white rice has been bad, or sour more we times than I can count. It just sits in an instant pot, not good. I did get sick after my last visit. I suspect it was the ice milk, that the machine was not kept clean. So in the future I will pass on the ice
We have generally had good experiences at this restaurant, but have noticed recently that the line food is being held much longer than it should, and is oftentimes lukewarm coming directly from the serving pans. We've also heard some disheartening stories about hygiene in the back of the house, and wash sinks being used for cleaning employees, and then moved immediately into cleaning dishes that customers will eat on. To say that's gross as an understatement. Management seems to Lord over the staff, and should spend more time in the back of the house seeing how things are being cleaned and prepared. Word gets around when customers are getting sick at a particular restaurant, and that buzz is beginning about this Chinese restaurant.
This is our go to spot for Chinese buffet. The ladies see us and know we like hot tea and a spot kind of away from the crowd when possible. They are very clean and none of the food is greasy. The fruit choices are just what I like. I will post pics next time I go which will be in a few days. Whether you want a fast meal or just a place to have good food and conversation with friends, give them a try.
I haven't been here since the covid shutdown. I'm so glad I came today! The food was fresh and hot. Service was great. The menu was different. There was no sushi or the small thin white noodles I remember. And they have throw away plates instead of regular plates. Which didn't matter to me either way. But everything they offered was delicious. So I honestly couldn't recommend anything specific since I enjoyed it all. I will definitely be back.
