I didn't think anything of the two poor reviews this restaurant received before eating there as there were ONLY two reviews. BUT I will say that when we entered the establishment it should have been a sign of things to come that it was completely empty AND they asked us to pay in advance before eating! In the entrance way of the restaurant was a hand-written sign telling their potential patrons to look the buffet over before they decided to eat there and people were actually walking out! Another sign would be the tacky styrofoam plates that they expected their patrons to use. That's just the things that were visible! The food felt and tasted like it had been on the buffet tables since yesterday. We even noticed a pot full of soup that had been sitting so long that it had developed a thick film on top of it. The place has potential but they DEFINITELY need to get a better cook! I did NOT even want to give them the one star. I would've preferred to give them no star!

I went there and I was eating so good until I found a hair on my food. I told the waitress about it but she said " you can keep eating or leave!" So I just left. They could improve on costumer service and dealing with things like I went through.

People are really friendly. The food was great. I came between lunch and dinner so the food wasn't fresh but it was still great. The service was awesome. They use paper plates and plastic silverware because of Covid which I liked. The restaurant was clean. The restroom was clean.

I'm happy that they have coconut shrimp. Most places have coconut chicken. They have options other than chicken. Love that. My husband actually ate more then he does at the other buffets, which usually means he enjoys. Something other buffets put in their food bothers my stomach. The food here doesn't agitate it. It's starting to become my favorite place very quickly.

First time going to this place since they reopened under different name and ownership. I hate writing critical reviews as everyone that owns a business is trying their best to make ends meet during this difficult time. I feel generous giving 3 stars however. Went during dinner time. You would think would be a good time to get hot and fresh food. I was wrong. Most dishes empty. Most food that was there was cold. The warmers were not sufficient to keep it warm. They stated the heater was broken in the building. One thermostat read 60 and the one more inner the place read 64. Everyone there had jacket and hats on. We were all cold. So the food had no real chance of being warm. I would give a 5 to the food in it fresh from as the sauces flavors were good. But the experience overall was subpar. Would give them another chance in the future after they fix the heating situation.

I absolutely love chinese/asain food but this place was a joke. Food was sitting out for awhile, dried up, empty trays, no taste. Didn't get offered a refill. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Do not recommend. Would rate lower if I could.

I wasn't a fan at all. The food was either bland or way over seasoned. The food wasn't fresh, even when they did bring more food to the buffet (which was only once while I was there) it didn't look appetizing. They didnt offer any refills and the lady just kept staring at our table for no apparent reason. I don't recommend wasting your money there.

The food was barely warm at 3pm and the taste just wasn’t there

Disappointed Customer

We are all about supporting our local restaurants during these hard times but was extremely disappointed in the lack of enforcing COVID safety guidelines. No one wore a mask or gloves while going through the buffet (except us) and there were kids running around handling everything.
