Staff was friendly, I’ll give them that. But the food overall was disgusting. It was hard to even eat anything. Tried some peaches, banana pudding, and jello. Tasted weird in general. The ice cream machine doesn’t work properly, came out very mushy and runny, it shouldn’t even be considered ice cream. Now we’re home sick after trying to eat their food.

I am appalled and disgusted by the sanitary level of this place. Came in, no one had a mask only a few including me, not a big deal bit something to point out. They had absolutely no gloves for when one needs to go grab food so people were touching plates and food utensils with nasty hands. The food looked good from afar..until you got closer and saw how disgusting it was. The sushi was all over the place. The little tongs for sushi was caked and nasty. The raw sushi tasted weird and was CRUNCHY?! Not to mention the meatball covered shrimp and some weird food with I think shrimp and clams where the sauce looked like sewage water. My cup of water was still caked on with grime that I could literally scrape off with my finger on the inside. Thankfully I got another cup that wasn't dirty. They had a bucket of,I imagine, was a sanitizing liquid that was milky cloudy and grease with food floating on top. Their ice cream wasn't frozen enough so it came out like a shake,tho I did enjoy the creamy vanilla flavor it had. You could customize your cones and even be able to get cookies and cream ice cream! But of course the ice cream scooper and the water it was in was cold,milky and dirty to touch. I'm not sure if it was today that it was so nasty or if it's usually like this then they need to be shut down. I work with food in kitchens and that does not look sanitary to me at all. If the front looks like this then imagine what goes on in the back!!

A friend and I ate here. This is actually a regular place to eat for us. This location has a variety of food selections on the buffet as well as a salad bar, Mongolian bar, and sushi bar with fruit and ice cream selections. They have a three big screen tv’s. The wait staff is courteous and efficient. I do recommend this location if you are hungry and ready to eat as soon as you are shown to your table.

I just really like the food. Need more coconut shrimp

Awesome food, portions and always ready. I love grabbing take out from here!!

Reasonably priced.Good selection of dishes.The reason for the 2 stars is every dish I sampled was lacking flavor. The spicy dishes where seriously lacking the spice. Not even a tingle from the Jalapeño chicken.

Really good buffet. Fresh and plentiful. Wide variety of food, including sushi and grill items. Only complaint was that the ice cream machine broke before I got desert ?.

Such a nice staff and very attentive!Pretty good food too!I'll definitely come back!!

Great place food is quality clean healthy for a buffet it's a five star with friendly employee's for a good price and fantastic taste I would come by lunch and dinner More info to come

I always eat here ever since I can remember it is absolutely great it is the best Chinese buffet I've eaten at. The food is always warm and fresh and absolutely delicious. They have a lot of selection and a variety of foods. The mongolian grill is very good and the sushi, the seafood, honestly everything really. They have good and fair prices. I give this place 5 stars I highly recommend it.
