If you're ever in the mood for awful food, they've got you covered. Here, you're literally throwing away money. The food is awful, the prices are outrageous, and the service is terrible. Do yourself a favor and don't eat here. Your body will thank you, because you know there are better options than this. There's a funeral place nearby so I wonder how many people died eating this garbage.

The food looks gross and I don't trust how you pay before you eat. For two people it is 30$. You get your own drinks/silverware. Not that's an issue but never heard of that before in a chinese place. The food looks like it has been left out and not fresh which makes sense for a buffet. Depending how you like your food. Give it 1 star and I've seen better food quality.

Food was gross and doesnt look good and you pay before you eat. Not too the standard with cleaness.

It's your average chinese place. The price is decent if you just want some food, but there's nothing special here. Staff is always kind for conversation and efficient as well.

Sat there for over an hour and they only refilled the crab once. When we first went up there was only three sets of crab legs, the refill consisted of six sets of legs. Will have to agree that its ran pretty shady as well. One man who waited without eating for 45 minutes asked about the crab to the busser gal and she said they do that in back then went and started vacuuming!

WORST buffet I've ever been to, no wonder it was empty on a Sunady at 5 pm.... sign says "crab legs", except with a party of 7, only the 10 year old and 7 year old got any. When we asked politely when more crab legs would be coming out, a finger was shoved in my face and told "it's on a timer, and it's an 'all you can eat buffet, not all you can eat crab leg'". Got it, I'm down with getting none, but can anyone else get any? Lol! I was then accused of eating ALL the crab legs. Yeah, we did. All 3 clusters that were brought out in the 45 minutes we were there.... I asked for a refund and the young teenager receptionist LUNGED at me!!!!! I decided to not persue that matter further at that point. I received no refund, no crab legs, and no kindness or explanation. I'm super forgiving when it comes to unforeseen circumstances in the service industry and have asked for a refund 0 times in the last 30 years. This type of experience demands a review as I have NEVER had a worse dining experience in my entire life... ever.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced! There were no crab legs and we were advised only a limited amount were available. Considering the restaurant was pretty desolate, I was surprised. No one really seemed to care, and I never saw any and the rest of the food was pretty flavorless, so I won't be going back. So many other great China buffets in the area it's a shame they refuse to even try.... won't be revisiting.

On this place is so difficult to find Shrimp dishes, unfortunately for them a lot of people love shrimp like me and looks like you guys don’t care about it, I always saw a lot of people waiting for shrimp and last time I was there two Sundays ago and there was almost no food in the trays. So me and my family have to leave. So sad! I use to love this place.

This Chinese place is NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. The food tastes like nothing. The crabs weren't fully cooked. The dishes were dirty. It was one lady walking around to collect plates and trash and her demeanor was just terrible! She had a nasty look on her face and rolled her eyes at me!

Great selection. Prepared well. Great value under $ 10.00.

Absolutely disgusting food and run down dirty restaurant. There's a good reason you pay before you eat, because after attempting to eat what they call food, you'd refuse to pay. I can't recall a single thing I put on my plate that I could actually finish. I gave several things a try and just found it inedible. Several items tasted like chemicals, almost indescribable in taste. Not worth it even in the slightest.

Ok. So on Christmas Day, my husband and I got in the car searching for quick food because we did not cook Christmas dinner or go to anyone's house for Christmas. Checked the reviews for this place while riding around and saw they had 2 stars. We took the risk because we have a new baby and couldn't just sit somewhere that night. We went in maybe 30 mins before closing and got to go plates. We have tried so many Chinese restaurants and none have been up to par except this place. We're from Florida and nothing compares to east coast Chinese food. Mostly all of the places here are trash but this place is the closest we can find. Glad we found it. I will say that they weigh by the Pound. I'm used to just filling up a container as long as it closes and it's a fixed rate. That's why I' 'm giving it 4 stars.

I don’t want to sound hurtful or snarky. I would recommend you read the 1 star reviews, and see how many times the word cold appears. We would not recommend this restaurant.

We came in here expecting a good Chinese buffet you pay what you would at another buffet that would have steak and other things, the food was cold and very disappointing

After visiting this establishment for dinner one night, I thought it would be a nice place for the residents at the nursing home I work for to enjoy lunch. We called one day in advance to let them know that we would be visiting. The staff has a language barrier. They didn't understand why we called. Upon arriving (we were the first customers of the day), you have to pay upfront for the meal before being seated. We requested to have seating/tables for 15 near the buffet, so that our residents could have easy access. The hostess didn't understand, when I asked where we were to be seated. I walked into the dining area and pointed out which tables we were going to sit at. The hostess started yelling at me in her native language. Then she rudely told me that we couldn't sit there. I advised her that we had residents in wheelchairs and sitting anywhere else in the restaurant would be a total inconvenience due to mobility issues. She then proceeded to yell at one of my coworkers as we were bringing the residents inside. We were able to serve our residents from the buffet. However, there were 3 employees that were standing off to the side and behind our tables staring at our party as if we were up to no good. The food is not bad at all, but the customer service experience is enough reason for us to not return in the future.
