The owner is always so
Accommodating and polite.
Always willing to make a fresh batch of food if asked. Very friendly.

The waiters are very enthusiastic and friendly. In this era of soaring prices, they still insist on keeping the price reasonable. The food is very fresh, and I will definitely come back again

The food is always delicious here. I usually get take out and the people that attend to you are always very kind.

I typically stay away from buffets in general.
My daughter said her friends recommended this place.
We went tonight around 630pm. First impression, no outside sign on, entire storefront windows soaking wet with condensation from the inside. Agaisnt my better judgement we walk in it's extremely humid and air is thick.
We get greeted and seated right away. Plenty of empty seats and we get sat right next to the only ppl in the back section with kids. Which is fine ok whatever no biggie. We go up and get our plates i got rice, chicken teriyaki and sum fried shrimp which there are 5 or 6 dif kind of shrimp. The rice isn't Chinese fried rice at all it's sum type of Spanish style white rice with carrots in it... yes carrots. Smh. My son who eats anything took the first bite of rice and that was that.. we finished or tried to finish what we got and tried to make the best of the situation by getting sum soft serve ice cream.. the cones were so stale they could break a tooth no kidding.
The place is dirty the booths and tables are dated the buffet is extremely small and i wouldn't go there again if it was free.
I never give negative reviews unless extremely dissatisfied and i wasnt the only 1 who was my kids were as well.
75 bux with tip 3 ppl not worth it at all.
It's about quality not quantity and they had neither.

Food was pretty good. Some items weren't replenished quickly. Overall food was good, proper holding temps. Place looks cleaner than in past visits. $15 each on a Sunday night wasnt bad for what we had. Server was attentive. We will go back. Seems to be steadily improving.

Good amount of negative reviews but my wife and I didn't experience any of that. We got there at about 5:30 so the food was very fresh, the servers were very attentive and very quick to service us, they were kitchen people who were focused on their job and making sure that the food didn't run empty. The food was very tasty, I tried something new that I had never had before which was peanuts and sesame seed in some kind of a sweet sauce that was fried and tasted really good. My wife and I enjoyed our visit

Ordered carry out. The most reasonable prices around. Even the fried food wasn't greasy. Very conservative with the soy sauce, which is great for people who are sodium sensitive. Service was great and appreciative.

I love the food, but the restaurant itself hasn't been updated in well over a decade.

Place is absolutely disgusting. It is filthy. I can’t believe the board of health has not closed them down . I can’t even imagine what the kitchen looks like.
Absolutely disgusting one of the nastiest buffets around I’ll never eat there again food had a cleaning product taste disgusting never will recommend this place 🤮🤮
Food are too oily. Every food i get is too oily. Even the steam dumplings. Sometimes I notice they reuse leftovers to make new food
Love it here, but it's time for some updates. The foyer is outdated and worn. I really like the place I have been going there for many years. I would like to see them put some money in it. It would only benefit them.
