The place just went through a massive rush and the waitresses were clearly really tired but they still made sure our drinks were full and table was clean. Food is shockingly great for how cheap it is per person (22$ adult), they also made sure everything was fresh, even the fruits and salads. Great experience all together ❤️

There should've been more of a selection for the price. I was told no more sushi since COVID. If that's the case they should've dropped the price or had more of a selection especially seafood. Service was great! He made sure the table was pre bussed almost immediately and kept our drinks filled.

Terrible service, the waiters make faces at you all the time while you eat, and when it comes to paying they demand TIPS, tips should be optional but they demand them and if you don't let them they make faces at you and start talking in their languages and with their gestures you know that what they say is not good at all??‍♀️.
Tips is optional not required

This place is trash and expensive lol kids 5 and under should be FREE. The food is nasty and cold. The waiters are rude. You got people running out on their bill the place is ghetto. I'm surprised this place is open and it's dirty. I would not recommend this place ! Cook at home.

Despite having a family of 6 and a couple in front of us, we still only waited 5 minutes for a table! The options they had were tasty!

However we noticed that 1 whole food row was unavailable & the grill/sushi bar was not in operation. Additionally, the chocolate ice cream machine was not working. There was not a whole lot of choice.

TERRIBLE WAITRESS. When the bill came, we noticed one server signal to our waitress, and she came by and snatched the bill out of my hand as I was walking to pay at the front desk.
All she did was give my bill to the man at the desk, and waited for me to sign the bill and possibly leave a tip. When I signed the bill, I noticed her staring at me and she pointed to the tip section on the receipt and said I needed to tip! I found this very bold and rude of her to act like this, considering the service was not deserving of a tip and many food options weren't available. After I wrote no tip on the receipt, she stormed off.

I wouldn't go back. I wouldn't recommend anyone go here, not even for something cheap as it isn't.

Excellent food, wide variety, seafood delicious, Chinese dim sum and Western dim sum are also good, but the air is a bit cloudy, is there a problem with the air conditioning system? So fast tasting, fast leaving, I'm suffocating... .

For the first time coming here with my family I am extremely disappointed. I don’t recommend this buffet because the food was cold, the service was bad, there were barely any options to choose from and the food tasted like it was overdue. Also the atmosphere there was really unpleasant so if anyone is looking forward to eating there please just stay home.
