I was really hoping to find a good Chinese buffet. I was severely disappointed. First, any restaurant that offers a 10% discount for a five star Google rating is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. You go inside and they ask if you’re going to eat here or take out. No smile, no greeting, just typical lifeless stares. It’s not a big restaurant so there’s not a lot of choices but there’s enough to qualify as a Buffet. I wanted to try as many items as I could and ended up returning to the serving tables 4 times. The first time I started with soup. Unfortunately, I spilled a little on the table (See the photo). Hot and sour was OK as was the fried rice, salmon and the watermelon was exceptional. Many items were signed incorrectly and the sushi had no signs whatsoever. They have a warning saying if you have questionable health don’t eat the raw fish. Without labels, who knows what is fish and what is it.When I returned with my first refill plate, my old plate was gone but do you think they would clean up the mess on the table? Noooooooooo! The beef was horrendous. It was tough, tasteless and full of gristle. I would have enjoyed the barbecued rib but they only gave you a fork and no knife so eating it caveman style was the only option. Of the 12 to 14 items that I tried, most of them were not hot and there was a lot of room for improvement. They had a high number of seafood items such as crab, shrimp and salmon, which is probably the reason why they highball the price. There is no senior discount and no military discount. One positive point is that I did not walk away and have intestinal distress like I did from that other Chinese buffet I mention below.The room looks like it needed a makeover with paint, flooring and other touchups about 10 years ago. The employees could use some customer service training.The buffet off I-45 near Hobby Lobby was also a bust.I think for the foreseeable future, I’m going to stick to the “cooked to order” Chinese food at a regular sit down restaurant.

Had the coupon to get discount and this place is still way overpriced. $30 for two buffets and two sodas. The food was fair, but most did not seem like was not at a hot temperature like it should be, Spring roll was loaded with grease, the sweet and sour chicken and fried shrimp was pretty much breading. There are many better places to spend my dining dollars so this will be skipped in the future.

Went there yesterday for my birthday and the older lady seating us was very rude and rushed us. The other staff was rude as well. There were 14 of us and the first half of us were taken to our seat that another employee was eating at and had a mess at the table. They started seating us before she was able to get her stuff off the table and then they started cleaning it while we were sitting down. Very rude to my family and friends and didn’t refill everyone’s drinks. The food was ok but they didn’t maintain it well on this particular day. Forget about asking for prices. They want all the ages upfront before they tell you prices. It seems very shady. We won’t be going back.

I ate there on 3-18. While there is a variety, almost everything I tried was overcooked - chicken, beef, and seafood fried and not. The sushi was hard packed on the rice and didn't have much flavor. The greenbeans were nice and al dente, but that was the only item of the wide variety of dishes I tried that I enjoyed. My dining companion enjoyed the oysters; I did not try them. Not somewhere I would go back to.

great food always my go to for Asian food ?

This place sucks! Not gonna lie The only reason this place has high reviews is for the discount the waitresses tried to take people in front of usand had horrible attitudes. They never came to refill our cups until we had to asked and they stared at us the entire time. Now the food was okay but not worth the service. Do not recommend

Waitress was rude , I have eaten here many times and liked it. Waitress was very pushy, grabbing plates off our table that is right in front of me my wife and daughter. Still eating still food on our plates, then coming back and asking if we are done. I understand trying to pickup plates that people are done with but most people either stack them in the center at the edge of table or place them out of the way at the other end. For over 50$ I will not be rushed or hurried and have a server come to my table like she's picking up after her kids. These restaurants are a dime a dozen. I'm changing my rating from a 5 to a 1 star. Won't be back

Food is always good and fresh.

Food was terrible. Low quality. The best thing was the ice cream and the Pepsi I drank. Worst buffet I've ever been to. 10% off your order to give 5 star rating lol! Other customers show snow crab legs and large shrimp in their pictures. None to be found on this night

So my girlfriend and I went here for lunch due to the high rating and positive reviews. The buffet looked promising, albeit a bit unkempt looking (some of the counters were not clean and some of the food was not protected by sneeze guards). We grabbed plates and got started. We both went for some of the classic options like General Tso chicken, salmon, and beef. Within about 5 minutes we both started feeling off. My girlfriend ate a few bites and picked at the rest. I ate a few items and started feeling like I had a rock in my stomach. Neither of us wanted any more of the food so we paid the bill and left. We both got very sick from the food and didn't begin to feel better again until after midnight when the last remnants of the buffet food were finally expelled. Never again.
