We went 3 hours before close and the food was old like almost everything besides the fruit and dessert. The person who was working by the door was very rude so I didn't complain because it didn't seem like it would go well. The server was nice but there was a language barrier so I didn't want to confuse her. I would recommend not going at night if you go. Go when its busy so you know food isn't just sitting there getting old. I waited the next day to speak to the manager hoping they would just say sorry but was told I should have told someone but they work there they know how long it was sitting there also there was a working standing by the buffet you could tell it was old by looking at the food. Was our first time and will not be going back.

Great value at $16.99/pp on a Friday night. We would def come back. In the 6-8pm hours, it was fairly busy, about 80% of capacity, so no one was ever waiting for a table. You do have to pay first, so we opted to pay the tip in cash at the end of the meal. Staff was friendly, quick to take away used dishes & refill drinks. Food was fresh; the trays were constantly being replenished. Variety is less than Lin's Grand Buffet, but much better quality & tastes better. Food was cooked well (i.e. veges are still crisp, not soggy; meat is tender, not overcooked; flavorful, but not over salted). The buffet stations will always inevitably have a little mess as they are self-serve, but are cleaned up very quickly by employees who are readily standing by, but not at all in the way. The building is dated, but interior is bright. Chinese pop music played softly in the background, but overall, it didn't feel too noisy. I liked that it was smaller than your average buffet bc the stations never felt crowded despite being almost full of diners.
• Best items we had: green beans, fried crab halves, crab rangoon, mango jello, pho flavored whole beef ribs, sushi/sashimi.
• Didn't Like: Chinese egg tart was savory instead of sweet (I guess that's why it wasn't in the dessert station, but I had never had one like that before); crawfish had a sweet & peppery flavor that was weird, would prefer something buttery, citrusy, garlicky or Southern boil style.

I don't know why I would have to relocate to another seat at 8pm when they close at 9:30pm and I wasn't even halfway through with my meal! Here's a tip from a Disabled Veteran: Don't sit anyone in an area if you are going to clean up early so that you can close early. It is quite disrespectful on multiple levels, on top of filthy restrooms!! Oh yeah, thanks for the fortune cookie. It read : never give any money or respect to anyone who doesn't give your presence any respect.

This Asian buffet was such a pleasant surprise! The staff were incredibly sweet and kind, the food was good, and the service was very fast. The price for two people was very fair, and there was no wait time at all. I was honestly unsure at first since I haven’t been to a buffet in years, but it ended up being a really great experience. Everyone leaving looked happy too, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be back!

Food is very unappetizing and limited. Small quantities and not very fresh. Everything cold
Is warm and everything warm is cold. Go down the road to hibachi grill.

I think this will be our last time coming here. This is a place we frequented once a month. We were finishing up about 15 minutes before closing, but felt rushed as the old man who works here kept staring at us directly while we ate. Made us very uncomfortable, and we hurried up and left. Wish we could have a refund. We paid to eat here. Not all of us are fast eaters despite arriving an hour and a half before closing.

Being a Vegetarian I was very pleased. Lots of options. I was really surprised with their ranch dressing. It was really good. Most asian buffets I have gone to have really bad tasting ranch, so that was a huge plus. If I have to say one thing that was disappointing is that their cream cheese wontons have crab in them, but are labeled only as cream cheese. Other than that, they have a pretty decent variety of vegetarian options. Even a vegetarian sushi. Plus they have a huge variety of fruits and desserts. They also have a variety of individually packaged ice cream, which is great. All the staff are really friendly and very attentive. I have never felt rushed when I'm there. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and would give it more than five stars if possible. 😋

What a beautiful wonderful place for family's to go, or by yourself 😊 I know I totally would. It is a little pricey but so worth it. (Although I don't know why it's pricey, I don't understand it. ) don't get me wrong it's a beautiful place with wonderful food but it is still a buffet. If the price was more reasonable my family and I would go more often. But I guess for now it may just be maybe a once a month thing. Which is no fun because I love love Chinese food and a buffet....Yes please. Great place, great service, great food. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday family dinner.

I've been here 5 times already. Every time, the ingredients and beans are plentiful and fresh, and the prices are the best in AZ. My friends are also happy to try it. ❤️ I really like this place, and I will come back again.

Very disappointed with our visit to Asian Buffet. The food selection was extremely limited, and most of it didn’t taste good. Several items looked old and not fresh. There was only one basic lettuce salad option , none of the usual crab salad or other salad varieties you typically expect at a buffet.
Crab legs were not included in the buffet price and cost an additional $4 per pound, which was surprising.
On top of that, the restaurant did not appear clean, which made the experience even worse. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Decided to try this place out and the food was surprisingly solid .However, when I first looked, I did not look at the floors. The floors were absolutely filthy. After we sat and ate , we decided to look at some other reviews and saw similar responses about the floors. Needless to say, would did not use the bathroom.
