This restaurant wasn’t too bad but food needs to be a little bit warmer better heat lamps or something and Shrimp Sauce had chunks in it looked like Thousand Island dressing. Other than that it was alright

Really good Chinese buffet. Food is hot and fresh. The sushi is graciously free of salmonella and quite tasty. And the hibachi is awesome.

Standard buffet. People are nice. Food is what you expect. Bathrooms are moderately clean and stocked. Place needs a deep cleaning and some major updating and the TV on the back wall has been broken for two years.

Great for a quick bite with a friend or picky children. Staff is quite friendly and understanding of young children. Was nice to enjoy an evening out with another family. Seating was immediately available for a party of seven on a Sunday evening.

Maybe our timing was off, we arrived just before 4:30 pm. There was a lot of dried out food that was sitting from the time we arrived until we left. The fresher looking options that we tried were actually really delicious. (If you do not want to lose your appetite, then don't look up at the ceiling, not sure what's going on with that, but it looks incredibly filthy)!

BEWARE. Some of the meat and fruits tasted like they had went badAlso saw a ROACH before we left! A ROACH ??Told the staff about it and they were very rude, didnt seem to care. Hope we are not sick tonight from what little we ate there

Been here SEVERAL times & not one of them has been bad. Food on the buffet is always fresh even when they are slow

I hate to give 3 stars because the staff is very nice, but in all honesty the food just wasn't that good. The flavor is fairly bland and it was warm not hot. A lot of the food appeared to have been there a while.In the dining area, the carpets look very worn and dirty, the tables and seats are heavily worn. However the buffet area is very clean.The staff was very friendly and I have no complaints on the service from the waitress. I have been to this place many times, and unfortunately it just seems to be steadily getting less and less appealing. At this point, I believe I will not be coming back to this place any time soon.

Decent buffet. Hibachi chef was really good.

Haven't been for several years so thought I'd give it a try. Not good . Where to start? Kimchi was definitely going bad, I've had kimchi at many places and store bought also so I know how it should be. Gnats and cleanliness, sushi freshness are other issues.And if you ask people what kind of shrimp they like they'd probably say Cajun, lemon pepper, coconut, etc. But I've never heard anyone say warm Mayonnaise Shrimp like they have on the buffet here!
