Most of the food was Cold or luke warm at best! When I told a staff member, she said I will tell them to turn the heat back on. What?!? Why was the heat turned off? After that several employees kept looking over at me and seemed to be annoyed.
I went back through food line and this time I could see steam rising from the buffet line but it wasn't heating the cold food very fast. I went back multiple times taking a small spoonful of dishes I was hoping would be hot but to no avail, at least not the whole time we were there. I ate very little for their $28 price.
And most of the food either had no label or was mislabeled. I couldn't figure out what alot of the dishes were or what was in them so I asked an employee and she didn't come over, she just tried to guess from where she was at behind the counter. I served myself something that she said was teriyaki chicken but when I took a bite, it was spicy! Definitely NOT teriyaki AND it wasn't hot either. Every time I asked her what a food dish was she seemed annoyed. If they had labels AND properly labeled items, I wouldn't have to ask!
The food wasn't that good either, but let's face it, food that is supposed to be hot, doesn't taste good cold or lukewarm!!
Save your money and go ANYWHERE else!!!

This place doesn’t even deserve a 1 star, I ate their salmon it was jelly and smelled really bad, and still tried to tell me it was fresh. The food taste weird and too fishy the food sits out too long and is NOT FRESH AT ALL. A lot of the seafood was super dry and mushy too. Stay safe ya’ll.

The price was outrageous, the Mac and cheese was watery, and the desserts were stale! I’m fairly certain that the sushi is a health risk too. If you wanna eat bad food, get your money stolen, AND possibly get sick, then come on down! The only the that I liked was a cool little coy pond inside.

Most of the hot foods are lukewarm or cold and not very much Chinese food to choose from

Hah this place really depends on the days and the food they serve on those specific days, but if you happen to go on a good day…..their octopus, clams, crab, chow mein, and buns are really good. One thing that is definitely a NO is their sushi. I LOVE sushi so this hits heavy when I say….DONT TOUCH THE SUSHI!! Their servers sometimes lag on the drinks and you have to ask them when they pass by or something. Also language barrier gets tough.

This place is absolutely not worth the $25 (plus tax) per person. Food is okay tasting at best. Food is cold and the dessert table is dollar store cakes/cookies quality. Staff is absent so getting refills on drinks or help is not possible. They have a sit-in, 2 hour max per person/group policy. When someone is asked for help, its difficult to speak to them or understand due to language barrier. Amex is not accepted here. Hopefully others will have a much better experience than we did.

My husband and I visit plenty of buffets because we have 4 kids. We are visiting family in Santa Maria, and this is the only buffet in the area from Lompoc to Santa Maria. I would not come back here, though. The service was friendly. The food was just barely edible. I admit I tried a variety of things, just one of two bites of the things I normally like, hoping each bite would be better, but it wasn't. I had 4 pieces of the sushi, 1 of each kind, and I didn't get more. I had 2 baked muscles, I like baked muscles, and I didn't get more. The best thing I ate was a corn on the cob. It was like $130 for a family of 6. Ages 2-16 for the kids and 2 adults. There was no clear pricing listed anywhere they just charged. Also a 3% fee for paying by card. Like I said, I would not come back here. The desserts looked good, but I was already off out by the food. I was just ready to leave.

Your food quality is bad. You have reduced protein and added more vegetables. You have removed fried shrimp which most of people like. I understand that everything cost more this day. But for you to raise the price and low food quality is bad business. I came with two kids which 2 and 4 years olds which they don't even eat and three adults cost us over 80 dollars. Please ask for their age. I also run a restaurant business I know how it works. I would never give feedback but I just want to owner to know. Thanks

Food will always be cold. Regardless of dinner or lunch. Seems like microwaved dollar store food

The place was clean.
Pepsi products no diet Coke.
Food temperatures were off.
The stuff that was supposed to be hot was barely warm and the cold stuff was just about room temperature doubt if we go back.
