No sauce for the dumplings.The food was dry, and sadly, i've never been to a chinese buffet that did not have those luscious little macaroon cookies, for dessert, I was very disappointed. Then night hit, and so did the bathroom trips. Never again. But the service was wonderful and the people that worked there were very very friendly.

I think it's only fair to update after 2 years. I gave it another shot with a couple of friends, and I will say it was cleaner than the last time. Also the Girl who was helping the tables she was absolutely busy and still asked if we needed refills , she was extremely busy running everything a day still took care of us she was quick Friendly and with a positive attitude absolutely deserves a raise.

This place should be call,..."UNHAPPY BUFFET" because after dining here that's how you would feel. SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. WAITER RUSH CUSTOMERS BY PUTTING BILL ON THE TABLE, AND DEMANDED TIPS. FOOD WAS COLD, BLAND, AND TASTELESS. NOT MUCH SELECTION OF FOODS. MEAT WAS TOUGH TO CHEW ON. PLATE WAS DIRTY.

I WOULD "NEVER" COME BACK HERE AGAIN. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE.

There is a Asian waiter in his mid 40s that literally forces you to leave tip . Our bill was less than $110 and we left a $10 tip because the waiter only came once to refill our drinks and we had to wave him down to do that. When it was time to pay we put the $10 cash on top of the receipt and he grabbed the pen and started tapping the receipt loudly pointing at the 15% tip and my husband and I looked at each other like is this guy serious and then he started putting the receipt in our faces pointing at the tip with his finger and demanding we should leave him more money . We felt so uncomfortable that my husband just took out a $20 bill so he could leave us alone. It was the worst experience ever!! We stopped going here and now that I think about it we should have said something but at the moment we were just in shock that a server was doing this to customers . Unacceptable!!!That server should be fired!!

Great food and great service! I'm not sure what people are complaining about regarding tipping. The staff takes your used plates and brings fresh drinks. You are supposed to tip if you are a decent person. I am wondering who these non-tipping people are. Did you just fall off a turnip truck?? It is really rude of you to think that it's okay not to tip.

I must mention that the green beans were excellent. They were cooked perfectly with a nice crisp crunch. So tasty! I am currently eating a vegan diet, so I could not partake in all the beautiful seafood. My family really thought the food was great! We recommend Happy Buffet and will be returning. Thank you!

I came to eat with my parents and we went to the bathroom for the first time and they are super dirty, it's disgusting and then they don't change the food, they mix it with the new food they just made and finally when a man who we really dislike takes the bill He charges us the tip and it's a lot. I hope they get him out of there. We don't want him to even serve us. He's a young, chubby man.

The food is good but a waiter on the left side forces you to tip. He went to the table 3 times and pointed at me to tip. I told him I didn't have cash and he told me to put the amount so he could collect it with the card. That's not right. He doesn't care that the family is in front of you and they make bad faces in front of your family. I don't recommend it.
