Low quality food not worth half of the price.
Never again. We decided last second to go here since we were in the area. We did the buffet, add that was another mistake. Food was old and stale, overcooked and flavorless. Service was nearly non existent: they seated us and brought drinks, then vanished. Not very clean overall. Tips are added to the Bill automatically, with no option for choosing your own amount. The charge was ridiculous—for two people at a nearly inedible buffet, with a soda and a tea came to $58. A total rip off. We could have gone to a real restaurant and gotten good food for that kind of money. Never again. EDIT: We can add food poisoning to the list. This place gave me food poisoning.
The food was horrible especially the fried rice it’s like it wasn’t made fresh and the shrimp small and not fresh the green bean not so good I lost my appetite on my 1st plate
I thought if I give a second try it’s will at least approved but it didn’t
Fresh hot plentiful food options as well as sushi. Clean restrooms. Polite staff and servers.
Hot and sour soup is the best
Many years ago this place was great. There is still a nice large range of selections in the buffet but the quality has dropped significantly. Most items cold when they shouldn't be. Many items appeared to be from the frozen aisle of the grocery store but if a lower quality.

Nothing stood out from my experience, which is expected for a Chinese buffet.
The place is brightly lit. Despite being packed on a Sunday, it did not feel too crowded with just enough space between tables.
The service was ok. Even though I had to ask for my water refills every time but they were coming back and forth frequently so it was not an issue for me.
The food has hits and misses. The pepper shrimp and the pork cutlets were highlights. The crawfishes were big but had no taste at all. Other dishes were mediocre.
Be aware that they automatically add a 15% tip even though it was only me dining. I always tip 20% at least but because they gave themselves tips without permission I just left it that way. Will probably come back if I’m bored with places closer to me.

Not worth the money. Not enough options. I shouldn't have to tip 15% if i don't want to & what if i wanted to tip in cash. Won't go back

The food was pretty good. The service was pretty good with our drinks being replaced without needing to ask when they got low. There was plenty of all the food available. Lots of good options for everyone. The sushi isn’t top notch but it’s okay.
Parking: It’s in a plaza so there is a ton of parking.
Kid-friendliness: We brought a 10 year old and there were no issues.

Their food quality went down sooooo much. It used to be at least ok. I went at 12:30. All, I mean all the food was cold. When the stir fried was cold. Fried food was cold. At noon time? It tells me the food were not cooked that day. It is just my guess. Maybe they cooked them at 9am who knows. Fried food was soft and cold. Service was good. The place is clean and tidy.
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space in the restaurant and between tables. Has lots of kids friendly food and sweets

food okay but ⚠️be careful they discount TIPs on your card without authorization. I always give TIPs, but I like to choose how much I'm going to give.
