The worst chinese buffet I have ever been to. Very bland and tasteless. Food was luke warm. The rice has a strange texture.

Buffet. This is our go-to on those nights we just don't feel like cooking, or we were busy and it's just too late to cook. It's more expensive, but we buy take-out. With a gastric bypass in play, it makes zero sense to eat in! Great staff! Good food!

Vegetarian options: Quite a few options with veggies, rice and noodles.

Parking: Spots in front of the shop, it's in a plaza so there is substantial space.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have never left a bad review before but I wholeheartedly believe this establishment should have been shut down a long time ago. The restaurant smells of mold and mildew very strongly, the booth seats are broken, the food was cold and stale. Dust was falling from the ceiling vents. We took one bite of each item we got from the small buffet and decided to leave after only being there less than 10 minutes . I expressed to the waitress that we barely touched our food and felt the food was not safe to eat/edible but we are willing to pay for the two sodas. She gave us attitude and wanted us to pay 40 dollars. We refused in which she spoke in a different language aggressively until another lady came and took care of us.
On the way out the floor was so greasy by the door I almost slipped and fell.
There wasn’t ONE positive thing I can say about this establishment, such a shame.

HORRIBLE.HORRIBLE.HORRIBLE!!! Went at 7:30pm. Place was empty. Went for the food at the buffet table.The food was scarce and the balance of food was either old or spoilt.I could not eat most of it and had the noodles .soup and a rib.Since the food was not fresh.When I told the server.She angrily yelled at me and said.You want me to go cook it? How rude and disrespectful .I said .no I don't want anything.But letting you know some dishes were spoilt and old..
I could have created a scene or asked for a refund.I did not. Our bill was way over 50 plus dollars. Had No problem paying it and they had no empathy to the situation.Shame! I am only concern so no one can get food poisoning from eating old stale food.
On leaving I told the lady at front desk. She said food was old..Not even addressing me she would discount $10.$5..Or am so sorry.
But live and learn.I recommend don't go there.And if you do pay attention to the food if fresh or stale. SERVICE STINKS.COURTESY is needed and customer sympathy of the owners not there, must be improved.Buisness grows on trust and courtesy to customers.Not rudeness.

Not a big variety of food and it’s all tepid, not hot like others have mentioned, nothing tasted fresh. Even the packaged crackers were stale. I hate to complain and don’t expect much from buffets but this was 50 dollars to eat here and a total waste of money. We were charged for our 3 year old who took a bite of pizza but didn’t eat anything else because even she could tell it was sitting out all day

Half the food was cold, owners please fix this because the food was pretty good, I guess you have to go as soon as they put food out to make sure you get it while it’s still warm. Fried food was ruined because it was not kept warm.
