We enjoy going here when we are in the area. This time, you were asked to take care of your own dishes, and they were paper plates, idk how long it's been like that, or how long it will continue. The building itself could use updating, but in general, it's a good place to eat.

1st time ever being to a buffet that you do everything from getting your own drink to cleaning the table. Also having to pay if you don't eat everything on your plate???? Really.....

If you get it to go it is actually very reasonable priced! Very friendly staff as well.

This place is a disgrace to buffets and to Asian cuisine. $15.50 for lunch, and it’s served on styrofoam plates, bowls, and cups. You’re expected to clean up after yourself, and if you don’t finish their bland, low-grade food, they threaten to charge you $8.99 per pound for leftovers. That’s not hospitality—it’s a scam. The food was terrible. Everything tasted the same. Chicken was soggy. Beef was mushy. The “fried rice” was just yellow rice with a couple peas—no egg, no flavor. Desserts were worse. Flan was greasy, and the tapioca tasted off. Nothing was fresh. Nothing was good. There’s no atmosphere, no decor, no pride in presentation. You walk in and immediately see a buffet table with plastic taped across it. The register is hidden in the back corner like they’re ashamed to be there. This restaurant doesn’t respect its food, its customers, or its own identity. I will never go back, and I strongly suggest you don’t either. Drive to Ottumwa or Washington. Save your time, money, and dignity. This place isn’t worth it.

Ate there for the first time yesterday. The food was dreadful. Chicken dishes were all tough, Mongolian beef worst I've tasted, had to spit it out. I would never eat there again.
