Not worth the price honestly. No water in toilets and the food was cold and hard. The only good thing were the oysters. And the service was bad I needed a refill on my soda and I had to raise my hands like if I were in a classroom for a refill. Honestly do better and drake was here look at this pic.

30 per person with soda, whether you want it or not, the drink is already in the price. Children 6 years old are 15 dollars and they serve you the drinks and leave tips.

Worst buffet I hv ever been to. Food is stale & old. They love taking ur money & serving u trash. If u like old reheated food then this ur place. No idea how the city can keep them running from serving old spoiled food. Sundays food is just mixed in with old stale food from days ago. The city needs to close this place down. Unbelievable how they can keep serving shit & get away with it. The toilets r dirty & everything else that comes with it.

I had been there before and the food was bad and cold. I thought it was because it was a weekday and therefore they wouldn't have many customers, but I went again on the weekend because I wanted bad Chinese food and I hate all the cold food. terrible service I don't recommend

Was disappointing ?. Food selection was sub par. Not many sushi options. Weird selection since they had a Mexican food station with tacos and what-not. Not looking for that at a AYCE seafood/Chinese buffet at $25 a person but I'm assuming they are catering to high Latino customer traffic. They had crab legs but when I asked for melted butter they looked at me like "Who puts melted butter on crab legs?" Had to make my own by getting a bunch of butter packets and soaking them in the egg flower soup. Once melted opening the packets into a soup bowl. Their idea of tarter sauce is thousand island dressing mixed with pickle relish. One type of shrimp available, fried was soft mushie and unedible. No peel and eat shrimp. Ribs were cold. No refills ever offered. Had to do the refill myself even though there were only 3 tables for the staff to attend. Oysters were few and looked strange because they were dry from sitting so long. Not sure if they are keeping track of time food left out and temperatures. Staff seemed aloof and non engaged with customers. No grill as it's closed. Not sure why since they have one but it's empty and closed. They absolutely shouldn't be charging people $25.I won't be back. There are better AYCE buffets in the area.

I do not recommend this place. It is definitely not worth $24 for dinner. Maybe $14, tops. I tried taking a look at the food before getting a table, but I was rushed into paying first, which should have been a red flag. There’s also a sign insisting you tip, but why would people tip before eating or getting quality service?The food just really wasn’t good, seemed low quality, and was not very hot. For $24, there should be higher quality food and a hibachi station. No peel & eat shrimp or crab rangoons?!? No egg rolls??! They use a good chunk of their buffet space for American and Mexican foods, which doesn’t appeal to me. As far as atmosphere goes, it’s virtually non-existent. I love Chinese buffets and have been to a lot of bad ones, but this place wins last prize for me.On a positive note, the service was decent, I appreciate how the baked salmon was presented, and love that they don’t allow customers to scoop their own ice cream. The roast duck had potential and I wish I could have had some when it was fresh.

First you walk in and pay $24. Looks amazing at the start, they have a nice fountain (might have fish). They also have cheap paper signs where you pay that say 2 hour Maximum! And make sure you tip signs! The food was terrible, beyond garbage. I would recommend eating your own throw up. Ima keep it %120 with you guy could go grab a 7-11 Hot-dog instead. Would've been hotter and fresher. The Mac and cheese was stale and looks like it had food coloring. They offer 2 kinds of fruit for desert and have terrible locks in the restroom. They don't work and open on both sides of the stalls. Customer service was trash, don't expect for them to refill your drink btw unless you walk up to the front counter and ask yourself. They basically ignore your empty drinks right by your table. Very cheap. Very bad. Very trash. Save yourself some time and go to golden coral. I slurped my empty drink with melted ice to try and get their attention and they ignored me. I wouldn't hate you guys for leaving no Tip. I think the food gets warmed up by someone breathing hot air into it. Looks like it hasn't been touched in hours and dry. 0 STARS! There was at least 6 people in there including me and my friend. The Rest being employees. Don't come here unless you want the same experience. Should've checked the ratings before going.

Food poisoning beware. Business uses their service line to slowly heat up the refrigerated food. Come at least five hours after opening to get food at the proper temperature if you dare.

Okay to start off the food tasted like it was dry and under a heat lamp. some of the things werent even replaced. Staff seem rude when i was being sitting with my family, but didnt say anything cause people have tough days, when i took a plate to go i have found hair in my noodles and the wings tasted like they been there all dat. And i spat the rest out, in the past i have found dead bugs around the table. and don’t appreciate the little kid in the back ignoring or looking at people weird . The jelly and fruit was the only things that’s really tasted okay. i hope i can at least get a refund for my meal.

Food wasn't as good as before, the place is the same. The service was nice with the guy but one the server's female was picking her nose and sat a group down . Without sanitizing her hands. Bummer
