This is my absolute favourite go-to lunch spot in Lafayette. Everything about it is so perfect, from the food, to the service, to the price, to the restaurant itself. I've previously left a glowing review on China Wok in Baton Rouge, which was my go-to spot before I moved; this restaurant tops even that one.I think my only complaint is that the soy sauce at the table is so intensely salty. I'd prefer a lower sodium option, ideally even a different brand since all of Kikkoman's soy sauce tends to just taste like liquid salt.- - - The Food - - -The food is consistently good for a buffet. It doesn't seem to matter when you come in; even at its worst (around 3pm on a weekday, give or take), it only ever goes down to the level of "okay".I always get the following: baked fish (lunch only), chicken on a stick, fried chicken wings, butterfly shrimp, sushi, lo mein, and sautéed mushrooms.They also offer: cheesy imitation crab, crawfish (dinner only), garlic toast, fried corn nuggets, fried banana, fried fish, stuffed crab shells, crab rangoon, pork egg rolls, potato wedges, a few types of sushi, hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, fried rice, lo mein, butter shrimp, pepper steak, chicken w/ mixed veg, seafood delight, sautéed mushrooms, general tso chicken, cheesecake, oranges, pineapple, peaches, pears, honeydew, cantaloupe, lemons, peppers, red gelatin, chocolate cake, chocolate or vanilla or strawberry ice cream, chocolate or vanilla pudding, blue raspberry popsicles, and stick-in-the-muds.Be careful with the soy sauce at the table, as it's rather salty; I believe it's the original one, not low sodium. I personally make sure to scoop a fair bit of brown sauce from my entree of choice at the buffet, that way I don't need to use as much soy sauce at the table.- - - The Service - - -Service is fast and friendly yet never overbearing, the chef in particular is super nice and will be happy to replenish your favourites first if you ask politely.- - - The Price - - -It is SO CHEAP! Just under $10 per person (not including drink; water is free) for lunch, $13 for dinner. Cutoff between lunch and dinner is 4pm.- - - The Restaurant- - -It's small, clean, relatively quiet even at peak hours, conveniently right off the interstate. There's lots of natural light, yet even during the summer it's nice and cool inside. A mix of traditional and pop Chinese music usually plays in the background.

Parking: The spots in front of the restaurant are usually all full, so if you don't see one right away, it's easier to just park on the side nearer to Domino's, even if it's a bit of a walk.

Kid-friendliness: Not as many kid-friendly options as other Chinese buffets, but there are a few. Kids might like the fried chicken wings, potato wedges, butterfly shrimp, crawfish, and desserts.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great wheelchair accessibility! From ramps onto the curb, to relatively easy-to-pull doors, to spacious layouts in the dining room and bathrooms, to large tables out in the open, to buffet lines no more than two trays deep. The wheelchair accessible parking nearest to the restaurant is always available. Mind the potholes in the parking lot, though.
