I have eaten here many times and they're normally ok... decent enough, but they recently had some general tso's chicken that was either undercooked or not fresh/ spoiled. The rest of the chicken was fine except that one piece I ate that made me instantly spit it out and feel not as well. After explaining this to the waiter/owner or whatever; they tried to convince me that it was ok and normal when it is NOT. The taste of that piece was terrible; wasn't like the others. We went back and forth until they begrudgingly gave a discount. Mind you, this wasn't this first this has happened; this is just the first time we actually said something about it. So definitely take a second look next time you take a bite.

Food was overcooked and just horrible tasting. The only eatable things were fried. Would not suggest at all. Restaurant was dirty.

So so. 2 and a half stars, which rounds up to three.

Short version: not really recommended, though you could do worse.

Definitely a "quantity-not-quality" kind of place.

When you walk in, you pass a bunch of gumball-style dispensers and a not-so-clean, overcrowded fish tank. The windows aren't very clean, but neither is most anything inside. It's one of those places where about every third light bulb is out, there are boxes stacked up against the walls, the hostess has her own meal she's eating while she does other things, etc.

The food is okay. Not terrible, but not great. Very standard Chinese buffet items: General Tso's chicken, egg drop soup, black pepper chicken (the black pepper chicken was actually quite good), lo me in, etc. Some of it may have been out for quite some time, depending on the time of day you arrive.

The service was adequate. Not friendly at all, but not terribly cold. The hostess/server stopped offering refills on my drinks at a certain, indicating she was ready for me to leave. But she did a pretty good up to that point, but then I guess she reached her "limit," if you will. The guy making the sushi behind the bar was friendly, though he didn't address me in English; just smiled broadly when I thank him for making the food.

Dessert is standard cookies-and-cake-out-of-a-box, but they also have a cooler of self-serve items like those crunchy Hershey's ice creams on a stick and small cups of ice cream.

This is the only Chinese buffet in the area, so if you've got a hollow leg and a hankering for a buffet, this is your only option. All that said, for the amount you'll spend ($12 during the week, $15 during the weekend, and then add on $3 for a drink and the tax), you're looking at $20 a head, and you could get better quality food at Panda Express, if not the same volume of it.

I won't be back, but it was worth the shot.

I am very disappointed in a recent visit to this restaurant. I arrived and was sat down at a table. I first visited the ladies room. No toilet paper and the middle stall door lock is not installed correctly did not lock up the door. The chicken wings were burnt. That is unacceptable. None of the staff ever has smiles on their faces and do not approach customers with a warm welcome. Food is okay for the price. The expiration date on the tartar sauce was 6 months ago. and smelled sour. The hibachi cook gets buku tips but never smiles at customers.

This was my first time eating here. When I walked in the first thing I noticed is how dirty and uninviting the place is. The windows, fixtures , walls, floors, are pure filth. The seats look as though they have been there since the 70s. They are ripped to pieces, dirty they just lack the presence of an inviting restaurant. The buffet area and where the food is looks like a hoarders nightmare, the food had sauces that we would think would taste great on it, but it was watered down and tasteless. I saw fried chicken on the buffet that looked like it was so hard that you could kill someone with it. The plates are on the lower portion of the buffet, collecting dust and dirt. The guy inside of the buffet who is the cook, was more focused on watching anime on his phone while preparing food. A man came out with a pan of Lo mein noodles to replenish the pan on the buffet. I stood there and watched him throw the noodles into the pan of old noodles. He did not remove the pan of old noodles and put the new noodles in the buffet. Instead, he put the new ones on top of the old ones. The area all around the buffet seems hoarded, and it doesn’t look like it was cleaned this entire year.

The lady behind the register seemed unbothered by the fact that guests were there. When it came time for me to pay for my bill, I stood at the register, waiting for her to come and assist. A lady who worked there came after me with food that she got from the buffet. Finally, the lady with glasses who works behind the register area comes out and immediately says to the lady who works there that will be $4.25 for some soup that she got from the buffer. This was quite the cherry on top of the cake because she saw me standing there before the worker even approached the area. She did not acknowledge the fact that I had been standing there waiting for her to come back. Nonetheless, not only does this restaurant need to be gutted and remodeled, their staff needs to be trained on guest etiquette and cleanliness during the entire day.

First and absolute last time ever ordering from here. The food was very flavorless, the “Mongolian beef” looked old, I didn’t even bother trying it, the rice and chicken on a stick had very distinct, and weird flavors to them and was dry and even the general tso’s chicken wasn’t good. Never again

The food was cold, and there was no variety.
The lights off in the kitchen, it seemed desolate
The lady who serves receives you angry.

I would never return...
I do not recommend it, also the price is very high if we compare it with the quality of the food.
