Absolutely borderline offensive! Was visiting the area and wanted Chinese, wow, what a mistake. Was a large family that ate all the food, seriously! The parking lot was not well lit, the interior door was missing a handle. No rice for 40 minutes. When some food came out from kitchen it was warm at best. Asked if more food was coming out,, they said they were trying. Womens bathroom door propped open so so everyone at the buffet could see your feet under the stall door. Giving a 1 star due to very good noodles

This has been absolutely utterly been the worst facility. The place was not refilled with fresh food. Not a lot of options either. Had to order drinks multiple times because the waiters keep forgetting. They charged us $16!!! Per person. When it clearly says on their board $12. They said it was $2 per drink but that would only add up to $14. How does that work?? never coming back and don’t waste your money going there. Walked in hungry came out hungrier and angry. 5 of our people got food poisoning and that’s not exaggeration. Period..

The service was horrendous. Worst place I have ever been to. The food was not good at all. It all tasted the same and just tasted like warmed up food. The selection was incredibly small but the owner still charged us full price. Drinks tasted very watered down also, esp the cococola and lemonade. The lady was incredibly rude and the price was not worth it at all for such low quality food and service. Cant forget about how much of a painful stomachache it gave me and so many of my friends. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

The worst experience I ever have. I wouldn’t even give one star. Bad customer services. There was barley food and charge us extra. For dinner it was $12.95 and she charge us $16 including the drinks. I ask how much was the drink and she say $2. We are a large group and some of us didn’t get any drinks. I wish they could just done better with their business.

Don’t go the this Buffett! We went there as a group and the owner charged us more than the price person. They were low on every dish and the dishes that were left were super oily. Some of the dishes tasted like soap. The service was also horrible. We were never asked or offered assistance. There was also very limited dishes. Truly truly a disaster!!!!!!

If I could give this restaurant a -1 I would. The worst horrible place to eat. They barely have food on the table to serve to customers. The environment and customer service is bad like real bad. DO NOT WATSE YOUR MONEY HERE!

The owner/server was very disrespectful. Food was horrible especially for the price. Tables were dirty. Food was awful. Id rather eat frozen Chinese from the dollar store. I got sick after eating from there, my doctor said I had food poisoning.

Worst place I have ever been to. It was my first time there and will definitely be the last. The food was not good at all. It all tasted the same. They didn't have much of a selection. What was out for food didn't have much in the pans. I spent 27 dollars and only ate a couple bites of my food. The lady told me due to food shortages and covid they still had to charge me full price even though I barely ate. When I told her calmly that I was going to leave a review she began yelling at me. As I was paying and staying calm I told her she needed to stop yelling at me just because her food sucks. I am still paying . I would never ever recommend anyone go there. Worst experience of my life. The only thing good is the water which they charged for.

Place was horrible. Food was horrible and the lady seemed to not care and started yelling because we mentioned how the food didn’t taste good and lukewarm plus not very many options. Shes not very professional. We didn’t raise our voice once but she kept yelling. The chef did come out and asked us how he could do better. That’s the only reason why I would even give a 1 star, he seemed to at least care. Never come here. Save your money.

Worse place ever. I was so craving Chinese and haven't eaten it since I moved here. I get Covid has affected the restaurant business. There were 10 customers besides us. 1/4 of the buffet was closed. One half the pans were 1/4 to 1/2 full. 3 other people were ahead of us. When we were able to serve ourselves there was no meat. NO MEAT. It took them 30 minutes to add to the buffet yet nothing I wanted. I wished we had walked out. Would never recommend or go back.

Didn't have much of a selection, mostly spicy,mom can't eat much spice. What was out was in small amounts. 3 buffets and 3 drinks came to 48.00You can decide if it was reasonable

Nice people and beautiful seating dividers, each a unique and intricately delicate piece.

Oh my god this week place was awful. There wasn’t really any food out, and before the owner comes for me, we DID ask for fresh food/more selection, despite there being absolutely no signs saying to do so. We got our plates and the food was obviously old and it was AT BEST lukewarm. When we got our check, it was almost $30 and we had barely eaten anything. I inquired about the food, again, and the lady said there are food shortages and she couldn’t help it. I DID say that at another place we had been it seemed that they had plenty of food. At that point she told me to eat there then. I laughed and said don’t worry we won’t be back. The water was good, though. Don’t eat here.

For a Chinese buffet, you can tell that these people are working hard to serve people to the best of their abilities. Dishes are hot, always taste fresh and like they were made with real ingredients. Great recipes, friendly service. Wish I would see more people stop by here because I feel it is important they stick around!

Everything was hot fresh, they said anything we want for the buffett, if not out let them know and they will make it for us
