This has been the biggest waste of money. Nothing, and I mean, NOTHING, tastes good. Soup was filmed covered, cold, and lacked flavor as did every other dish. We paid 27.90 for adult and child with 2 waters.
The service was lackluster, no personality within the staff.
Atmosphere was just as low rated, salt shakers clogged with wet salt, furnishings are worn and old. Feels incredibly unsanitary.
I am beyond disappointed.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, Used to be an upscale family place. Today the dining crowd was…different…lots of yelling in Spanish.No food on the buffet, no napkins on the tables.

Was awesome to see this place still in business almost 30 years after I moved away from Tallahassee, and still very much like I remember it!

The service is very good. The food is good but the place is nasty! The air conditioning vents are full of mold, the carpet is nasty, very nasty! The walls base boards are full of accumulated dirt. The tile under the serving stations are full of stains and the bathroom is in terrible condition. I would not eat in this place again.

My husband and I had lunch here on Saturday it cost us almost $34.00 for lunch not worth it. There was molts in the building and the staff reached across our plates to try and catch the moths.

Finally found the place that has West Coast Chinese food. Most places in Tallahassee are bearly edible, the Mongolian beef was really good and not tenderized with baking soda. White rice was moist and sticky like it's supposed to be and the egg rolls where crispy not soggy. We ordered from the kitchen instead of the buffet. We will be back often.

Went lunch with family. 1st red flag, none was very warm and seemed to have been out for a while. 2nd red flag, our kid didn't finish their plate; barely touched it. When asked what was wrong, they said the food is making them feel not good. I should not have ignored this. We soon paid and left. We were all sick, especially myself and my spouse, since we finished the plates we got. I had been going there, off and on, for years. The first proprietor I knew now runs a buffet on Thomasville Rd (which is good). As it changed hands ( this seems to be the 3rd change in management, the quality seemed to dip. But after this meal, I now have been ill for hours and will never return.

It wasn't busy when we were there so I think the food had been out awhile, everything was cold. Not very good. Service was very friendly though.

Got yelled at by a Chinese guy. Felt the food boiling in my stomach while I was eating it. Learned new Chinese curse words. Everyone inside looked so depressed. The Chinese radio station was bumping. 5/5 experience.
