Came here for the first time with couple of friends. I came for dinner there was plenty of seafood which I love. Food was fresh. There is plenty of sitting and parking. Good service. Desserts, etc! Will come back!

This buffet in the East Bay is super popular with locals, and for good reason. They have a huge selection of food, so there’s always something for everyone. Everything I tried was fresh and really tasty. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable compared to other buffets in the area, so it’s a great deal. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

The staff are nice and the managers are nice and funny 🤣!
I come here for lunch sometimes. The weekend price is a bit high for me.

poor service I came in they seated me then closed the grill as soon as I got there with out any notice. Then when I brought it up they wouldn't adjust the bill at all. Pretty lame.
It’s been years since we’ve been back here. We came here since the price was $14-$16/person. On Valentine day this year, the whole family decided to come here for Chinese food. The group was 22 people. There is no reservation so one of us had to come at 4PM to be on the list for 6PM. The line is so long and people are patiently waiting for good food.
The price on this special day is $35/person. Yes, it’s a $900 meal.
There are quite a few dishes for everyone to enjoy, the nice thing is every dish is actually tasty, not bland at all. I started with some sashimi, salmon, tuna and yellow tail. The rolls are soggy and not crunchy due to being out so long or the seaweed wraps not too crunchy.
The chicken wings are my favorite, very hot and tasty. The oysters in sauce are great too. I’m sure there are something good for everyone regardless how picky they are. The hot and sour soup I like. The fruit and dessert bar has plenty of things to choose from. The ice cream station is crowded with kids and adults too.
There’s a cook to order station like in many Mongolian buffet, you choose your noodles, meats, seafood, veggies and they will stir fry for you which is excellent.
There are clams, shrimps, snow crab legs which are gone very quickly but refilled fast too.
Anyhow, for a few people the $35 is good if you all like these food, but for 20-22 people, $900 can order many excellent dishes in a good Chinese restaurant.
We may not be back here for another fee years although the food is great the service is very attentive and fast.

Great American Chinese buffet with delicious food that reminds me of the taste of home. Generous portions, a wide variety of dishes, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. I’ll definitely be back again.

If I could give this store a 0 star I would but I can’t, the reason why I’m saying this is because of this lady who I think was the manager, that disrespected me so bad because I didn’t speak English perfectly. She couldn’t take my order just because of this… I’m never coming back again. I can’t believe how she gave me an attitude…
The food is great, but the restaurant has limited tables, may need to wait for a while,

Just an okay place overall. Limited options, and the small selection in each category makes it feel a bit underwhelming. Nothing really stands ou. Everything tastes normal, not bad but not particularly good either.

No complaint, probably the best buffet in east bay with the price range. Dinner expansive tho, $35 per person after tips and taxes

We waited 45 minutes for a table and were seated in a separate room away from the main restaurant, which felt uncomfortable—especially since we were dining with children.
When I politely asked the server if we could move to a different table, her response was very rude and dismissive, as if I was asking for something unreasonable. I was told “no” and that others were waiting, which was unnecessary and unprofessional. We are paying customers, not asking for a favor.
Unfortunately, the experience didn’t improve. The buffet food was oily, cold, and lacked flavor. Nothing tasted fresh.
We drove from San Francisco specifically to eat here because we used to enjoy this restaurant, but this visit was a complete disappointment. Sadly, we will not be returning
