Pretty mediocre. The hibachi was the only great thing. Most of the food had a weird taste or was super dry. Even the egg drop soup was weird? The ice cream looked gross and desserts were sad.

Facility was clean. However, it was 5pm, on a Friday, dinner time, and the food was.... old. Water boiling so hard under pans it was splashing up to the food. Noodles looked old and crusty, everything just looked old. Did not waste my money and went elsewhere. It was great when it first opened. Friend went on a Sunday and said the same thing, don't think I will go again, will stick with the buffet we know is best.

The supper buffet was not unlike other Chinese buffets. Good food. A little pricey.
The newest buffet in town is also the best! I was impressed by almost everything I tried. Definitely a cut above your average buffet. The sushi selection was fresh and varied and tasty. The generals chicken and teriyaki chicken were top notch. The crab rangoon was pillowy soft and arguably the best I've ever had! Even their ice cream selection was really good (green tea!) We will definitely be eating here again. Although I hope they have peanut chicken next time!

11/06/2025: Saw this place open and wanted to come here a couple weeks ago for dinner but the wait time was too long. Decided to come here for lunch today at 2:40 p.m. with my 2 sons. Immediate seating. Place is clean and not noisy. Servers were very polite and the ambiance is very pleasing. The organization of food is great. Food temperature is perfect. They have a person always attending the buffet to restock or remove food that has been sitting and needed to be removed.
This is the quality I've been looking for a clean and tidy place like this for years and apparently these people know how to do it. Their sushi bar surprised me. Most buffets give cheap quality sushi at buffets but this place went with excellent quality. Overall, I would like to give this place 6 stars.
Those other people commenting negative reviews are those that complain at other restaurants that their food isn't perfect when they ordered Doordash delivery. They expect food to be hot and fresh in a takeout box. Don't believe those other reviews. Stop by this place for lunch and you'll see. My kids have agreed, this will be our new buffet we will dine regularly now.

Food was mediocre. Had Lunch. Most dishes were cold. Some dishes were empty or picked over. Sat us next to the emergency exit and the drink and cleaning service area ( foul smell kept wafting) and near rest room( even though restaurant not crowded).Food was not flavorful. Run of the mill Chinese Buffet. Staff was polite. Get what you paid for 👎

I really enjoyed myself at this buffet! Everything was great, but the mussels were absolutely the freshest and my favorite. The hibachi was also very good, and honestly, the entire spread was impressive. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to!

Visiting on biz… I like Asian food and tried this one being new. Most Chinese buffets are mediocre at best and this is no exception. Food was decent and hot. Then again I’ve had some of the best in California and New York that set the bar. Worth the visit tho…

The food was pretty good! There’s a reason why I stay away from buffets… the customers can be so gross that it turns me off knowing we share the same serving of food. I saw this old guy get ice cream and while leaning forward a long snot came dropping out of his nose. He used his left hand to wipe while holding the ice cream scooper on his right hand…
Oh gosh…. That just made me want to vomit and not want to share any handles with anyone…
Ice cream was suppose to be for dessert, I quickly passed and sat back down waiting for my kids to finish. Then comes the check with gratuity recommendations beginning with 18%… I don’t recall buffet tips beginning at 18%… I tipped and left. Waitress was kind, but that customer and atmosphere reminded me why I don’t eat at buffets much…

First time customer, FIVE OUT FIVE STARS – absolutely amazing.
There is something for everyone to eat on this scrumptious buffet.
Huge variation in food, everything was fresh and clean, the service was outstanding.
We went Saturday around NOON, and they had the full dinner menu out.
They have several options for deserts and ice cream as well.
Check them out!!! They will not disappoint, and we will be back.

During our visit, half the dishes were missing, and there was almost nothing to eat. They just kept handing out papers stating that it was for lunch only. They charged the lunch rate.

Large variety of items. Food temperature was hot and it was fresh. The chicken teriyaki was awesome. The General taw was mediocre. Noodles and rice were both good. Fruit was fresh. Desserts were ok. Overall a good buffet with fresh items.

Food was good, place was clean. Went for lunch on a weekday. I may have gone the wrong day seems that staff that day wasn’t having a good day. They dont greet you at the door until you say hi to them. Guy who was in charged of the table seems to be having the worst day, did not see him smile AT ALL. So far food was okay, nothing special or different from other buffets.
