Apart from the fact that the food was not identified, everything else seemed excellent to me. Don't pay attention to all the bad reviews, personally all the staff are very friendly. I'm from Iowa and if I ever passed through here I would come back.

I didn't like the taste of the food in addition to not having many offers. And to make matters worse, I left a tip so that they made a total charge for 40 pesos and the next day I realized in my account operations that they made the charge for 43. I feel scammed. Be careful for all those who want to go to this place. From my heart I do not advise you

It's not the best buffet but it's a decent one. There's no hibachi, not a lot of items but it is clean. There're only two servers and I guess they can't keep up, not too bad experience. The food available is tasty though.

I always have a good experience last few times I've been there. Lunch is $14 it's a small selection but decent they have sushi as well.

Here’s a list from my experience here with 3 friends:
1. Food is decent but nothing has labels
2. If you’re of color, they will make you pay at entry.
3. They yell across the room
4. Older man told me to “wait or ask someone else for help because he’s the only one working” when I asked for a refill. Then proceeded to seat another table, refill others & then go have a conversation.
5. They charge for “switching drinks”
6. The water they give you to drink is from the sink.

A certain sea food was rotten , taught it was just me who noticed it but it happen to be noticed by others. I told management bout it and they said thank you and just brushed it off like nothing . They even left the food there and didn’t even went to make sure that it was good or not .. then the Chinese man came and was rushing me to finish my food when I was now have desert . He was hovering offer me and looking at me and my colleagues.

1st time going and was impressed. The food was fresh and full of flavor. Ver happy it was not the typical "overloaded with sweet" dishes often found at other buffets. Was savory and well-balanced. It's a cute relaxing restaurant, bright with fun painted walls full of giant fish. The hot n sour soup was great...it actually had heat like it should. All patrons were greeted individually by staff which makes it more of a home feeling. Price was perfect and easy on the wallet, especially for a Sunday Dinner. I will be back for sure!

Horrible customer service, the waitress was demanding tip and rushing us to pay while still eating.

First time there.Overall food was okay. Waitress hovered near us, we felt rushed and uncomfortable. They brought out the check while we were still eating and wanted us to pay when we weren't even done.When she saw us pull out a card to pay she insisted that it had to be half cash, half card but she couldn't give us a valid reason why it had to be that way. When we finally went to pay the waitress stood so close to us that I can literally feel her on my back. I had to ask her to step back and please give me privacy. We had every intention of tipping when we walked in but towards the end unfortunately we didn't give a tip because they were trying to pressure us to leave a tip. They made it known that they weren't happy about us not leaving a tip.
