I'm sorry I seldom "EVER" do this but the food I ordered last night pretty much went straight in the garbage it was just terrible. Greasy , the taste was sub-par, the veggies in my beef chop suey were so wilted and mushy, and I order sweet/sour pork "NOT" sweet and sour " PORK FAT " it was disgusting. I don't know what happened, this place was "ALWAYS" my go to for awesome Chinese food over the last 35 years but last nights garbage was enough of a downer that I won't set foot in there again sorry to say. I'm sure some people have good things to say and like I said, it takes a serious issue for me to leave a bad comment, usually I just walk away and chalk it up to a bad experience but this time I have to vent cause it was horrible.

Nothing you put on your plate would you want to eat more of. 3 attempted to have buffet & two dishes off the menu… the buffet plates had 3 bites off each plate leaving the rest.The service was incredibly cold and snotty, now we know why. Completely unapproachable. You walk in, pay then eat. Zero cares given to how the food is being enjoyed or not-paying customer problem.Stay away from the sweet & sour pork…tastes like congealed dish soap.Washrooms were clean at least…

We had the buffet. There was a good selection of fresh hot food that tasted very good. But unless you can eat three plates of food it is very expensive. We will order from the menu only now.

Not sure if you should be advertising best Chinese food in town when there's only two Chinese restaurants. That said. We had the buffet. May have been better if we ordered off the menu. $70 for two people is a bit pricey. I can live with that if it's a great experience. The interior is incredibly drab 1978. Okay I can live with that if the food is good. The food was really tasty, unfortunately everything was cold. I mean everything. Sweet and sour, vegetables, chow mein, soup, everything was cold. How unfortunate. What a simple thing to remedy. They didn't seem too concerned about it though. Maybe they should be with only two people in the restaurant.

Buffet’s good, quite limited choices with around 9, and 1 dessert, personally that’s quite enough, staff has been good, have to ask staff for napkins though. Pay first before getting a seat/table which I personally don’t have any issues with, I recommend checking out the food before paying I guess.

We came in with my mother, who is in a power wheelchair, for a family meal. The dinner for 5 was a perfect choice, and everything was hot and tasty especially the chicken fried rice and beef chop suey. The special wonton was delicious as well.

Oh my, non, nada, nyet will we ever eat there again. Ditto the couple with us.$60 for two which was shocking and you have to pay in advance ?‍♀️.In retrospect, I imagine some have refused to pay after eating. Seriously.There was only one vegetable dish. One.Maybe two meat entrees of some deep fried shrimp, deep fried balls, both sweet n sour. Some kind of fried fowl legs (assume chicken but they were like black inside). Mmmmm deep fried blood was my thought.One rice dish, one noodle dish, a spaghetti style dish, again with the sweet n sour!Dollar size egg foo young and the ugliest chicken and veggie chop suey I have ever seen.Desert was chocolate chip cookies and squares of some sad, sad jello.Giving ‘em a D-.Parking: Lots of parking! Read above ??Wheelchair accessibility: Nice flat entry.
