It was decent. It's cheap Chinese food what can I say? My only complaint would be they need a bigger selection but I understand that would be hard due to the size of the interior. Food was worth hitting up for lunch.

Good buffet! I think it would be a 4.5 stars, but my grandsons 4 andn7 years said to give it a 5 star review. The selection of food was very good, service was very good and staff were attending to buffet exceptionally. They had kid prices too which was great. I will come back!

Clean and open place. A lot of options on the buffet. Food looks and smells delicious but it was bland and lacking flavor. I'll give it another try to make sure it wasn't me or an of day for them.

Was told it was as good as king buffet. Obviously smaller but the food was excellent. Everything was fresh and hot. I will definitely be back!

Having come to the Midwest from living in NY, I found a lot of the local Chinese food a bit bland and overly expensive.

I'm impressed with this buffet. All the dishes I've tried are flavorful and visually appealing. The pans are refreshed often and there are quite a lot of options, despite the smaller-ish space.

Update, Xmas2025:

Weekend/Holiday Dinner buffet is where the best stuff comes out, if you're into seafood and/or big Flavors
Flavors. Seasoned fried calamari, sweet coconut shrimp, whole crayfish, etc. I'd love to see crab legs, but maybe that's asking a lot, lol.

My opinion remains much the same as above, and I especially want to send praises to the 12/25/25 staff who seemed to be handling the extra customers and maintaining the bars super well.

I will always go here, as long as I live in LFK.

Not authentic Chinese!

Certainly, not oriental food. Good somewhere else if you want to eat real oriental/Chinese food.
