Typical self serve Chinese. Family run business. Even young son greeted us and showed us where food and tables/booths were. Average for food quality. Some of the food needed changed out.
This was the first time I'd been here and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was fairly standard for a Chinese buffet although a bit cramped and service was prompt and pleasant. The food for the most part tastes like the standard Chinese buffet fair. I was surprised by how much I liked the crab rangoon and the spicy crispy chicken, while the fried shrimp was a letdown. All the rest was middle of the road. The $12 adult buffet seemed quite fair.
