I rarely give a place five-stars, but didn't want to give it four (Google should wedge another spot in between those two). The reason this place hit it out of the park on the night we were there was the abundance and freshness of the crustacean fare. Both the shrimp and the crawfish were very fresh. And we had a lot of them, so we got our money's worth. They also had a better-than-average selection of fish than at other Chinese buffets. The other selections were about what you'd expect. I would recommend this restaurant.

Over priced. Underwhelming. Plenty of options but not for the prices. Fried shrimp was hard. Egg rolls were large but mushy inside. Taste was good though. Only two refills on drinks or they charge extra. No one refilled our water until we were on dessert. They also have a two hour limit. Not a problem for us but I had never seen that before. I get it. Just letting you know in case you were going to catch up with an old friend or have an extended get together with someone. Would not return as we did not feel valued as guests and we were charged $15 for our 11 yo who eats nothing.

It's hard to rate a buffet because it's not fair to compare them to a made-to-order restaurant. With buffets, I go by these factors - price, taste, variety, uniqueness, cleanliness. This restaurant did well in all categories. Price was around $11.99, but I'd much rather pay a couple of extra dollars than suffer quality. Everything I tried tasted good, fresh, and tended to (nothing that obviously had sat there for hours). Lots of choices and multiple food tables to choose from. Uniqueness scored well because they offer sushi and a hibachi grill. They appeared to be very clean and the wait staff was friendly and courteous. I would go back

The food was good and the restaurant was very clean. Very friendly staff and the food tasted fresh. Very surprised by the variety of sushi available too. The hibachi was a nice addition too!

Never had a problem with hospitality. Owner is wonderful along with servers whom bend over backwards to keep the place up and running. Food has always been great. Last time my husband and I got there way too late so I’m changing our review, because that’s on us, not on the restaurant. Variety of foods and my husband loves the hibachi. The noodles changed from last time we had visited and they are even better than before! My son loves it there as well, and he is the worlds pickiest eater. I wish you all the very best! Until next time! Thank you so much!!

We've been coming here consistently every Friday usually for about a year now...its me and my wifes Most Favorites place to spend time. Emily is the sweetest, even gave us a gift once. Everyone there from the moment we enter till we exit is exceptional and they work very hard to make this place the 5 STAR GEM that is is. Plus The Food Is ? ?❤

THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD.My Family and I have been regular customers coming to this location for over 14 years. The food quality has never been consistent but we kept coming back that stops today. I have several environmental allergies and get weekly treatment. While we had not been there very long maybe 15 minutes another family was seated next to us I could feel my eyes and throat starting to react to the perfumes they were wearing. I immediately went to the Hostess and explained my situation. She wanted to move me just a couple tables away from the other family. I told her I didn't think that would be far enough away. She then stated that she didn't want to change servers . When she said that I honestly did not listen to anything else she tried to say . I grabbed my purse and told my family I had to get outside. I can understand all the updates to some policies like food waste and time limits but My husband paid full price for a meal that I was not able to finish because they aren't concerned enough about ensuring the health and safety of their Customers. I have had to move tables in the past at other restaurants and have never had issues even when they were busy . Which was not the case today, there were not many diners in the Restaurant when this occurred. They just didn't care enough to be inconvenienced.

Visited here after a terrible experience in a Kissimmee buffet (across from Old Town). The tables here (during Covid 19) were sprayed with disinfectant and cleaned after each patron group. The foods were hot, tasteful and fresh looking. The service was very good. Gloves were given you upon arrival and being seated.

It has been quite a while since I've been to a buffet and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food here especially. If you are in the Clermont area and have a hankering for Chinese food I'd give this place a try......and the staff were excellent!

Not very impressed. We remembered all too late why it is we don't go here.Some of the food tasted like it came in contact with some sort of chemical(s) or cleansers. The muscles with cheese did not taste fresh. Some foods were good, but very few as compared to what was available on the lines.You pay for drinks but only get TWO free refills. Something you don't see much of ANYWHERE. Not to mention I had to send my glass of water back, as it had food debris on the side of the cup.Waitress had spilled my glass of water and didn't even bother to clean it up; just left it all on the table in front of my seat and under the cup.Some of the chicken (chicken with peanut sauce and chicken with broccoli) tasted like "canned chicken" or frozen chicken and broccoli was mushy.The waitress asked if table was okay when being seated. We said we prefer booth if one is available, but if not, I guess it's whatever. She said, I seat as each table becomes available. I mentioned a booth table that I noticed was clean in the back corner, and as it was OUR turn to be seated, one would think that would be good. However she mumbled something that I couldn't hear so I just chalked it up to "par for the course".I believe my father brought my wife, daughter, and I here back around 2007/2008 and we weren't impressed with it then either. Not as good as some of our favorite Chinese buffets.However, unless something is really horrific, we will go back again a time or two to check things out, in the case that things were just not up to full swing during that particular visit. Needless to say, after having tried this place about 3-4 times since mid/late 2000's, we WON'T be coming back.
