I happened across this place right on the cusp of their ‘3rd Sunday of the month’ buffet - $15.95 (with tax $17.30, add a tip and may as well round it off to $20) for all you can eat. As it was 18 hours since my last meal, it was pretty good value. Miso soup, a tofu dish, mock meat and kale, mixed veggie stir fry, salad and several deep-fried items with brown rice; in addition to numerous condiments. Good value, pretty tasty (and healthy if you stick to the veggie dishes).

Great casual food in the food court. Hot (caffeinated) tea is provided! There is also a cold and hot water dispenser. The staff is so warm and friendly. Many choices on the menu and also offer certain dates with a flat price for buffet meals. A very large portion of food for the price. The veggies are very fresh!

Loved this spot. It’s in a cafeteria style place. They gave us tea with our food and everything was presented so beautifully. I think the entree we got was a little on the bland side but our appetizer platter had many delicious fried foods and sauces. I will go back and if I get a tastier entree I will change it to 5 star.
