I ate here for a specially arranged buffet today. The food was delicious. Personally I especially liked the dumplings, the peanut buckwheat noodle appetizer, the sweet potato curry with vermicelli, and the tofu fried in a sweet and sour sauce. The staff was very nice and they were attentive even though it was a buffet. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-02

This is my first time to their new location, and while the atmosphere is somewhat less impressive, the food and the staff is as awesome as ever. Huge menu with many delicious options to choose from. If I lived next door, I’d eat there every day.
