I would gave them 4 stars but unfortunately, this place has food from damm i don't know how long its been sitting outside & re-cook for 2 days
They had the audacity to charge us for dinner after complaining to them. they had crab legs that they were rotten inside, it has black spots & yellow from been defrosted from a long period of time. Its really disgusting we spit that out. The outcome was charging us and giving me a $5 dollar credit voucher for next time. Nah they need a visit from (FDA) & get inspected.

Always a satisfying lunch buffet. Used to go here a handful of times a year before I retired in 2016. Revisited in Oct, 2025 and they still provide a reasonable feast with the same favorite dishes. A plate of my favorites, then a plate of sushi, and then a couple more favorites before visiting their dessert counter. Same owner and cooks for 20 plus years. I was happy to revisit one of my past lunch spots. I’ll definitely visit again in the future. Thanks staff for keeping the food fresh, hot, and delicious.

My boyfriend and I come here often. It’s a great tried and true place in the neighborhood and we enjoy the soups and love the ice cream machine. ❤️

Terrible! Charged $30 for an 11 year old. No wonder they keep closing down like 4 times a year. I hope we get a better one soon! Been going here for 10 years and I miss the people who used to seat guests. The younger people charge whatever they want. Very sad-I’m not going back anymore.

Arrived at 11:20 am, 20 minutes after opening; some of the food items were not warm. I had 4 plates of food, cup of soup and 1 plate of watermelon/desert, the cost was $15.99. Had diet coke for $2.99 (all you can drink). I enjoyed the warm & hot food; not the cold food.
Service was good, they picked up the dirty dishes and had my soda topped off.
The atmosphere was basic, lots of table seating and booth seating.
I recommend #1 Buffet if you want to eat a lot of good food.

Not worth the price. Maybe a good deal if it were closer to 15/person.

- Lots of poor quality meats. Very rubbery steak and pork.
- Not a ton of options to begin with. Though I did find a few items that were at least decent.
- Service is okay. But drink refills will be slow. Especially during peak hours.
- Lots of damage on the building and the bathrooms.
- They have time limits and charges for wasted food. This wouldn't be an issue for me if the food quality were better. But it isn't.

There are other buffet options on the same road that are better.
