Drove an hour from NH and was nothing but disappointed. Food was absolutely disgusting. Nothing like paying $19.99 for an all you can eat food poisoning buffet

Today we went to this establishment. I've been there several times. Unfortunately, I ran into this hungry employee. At checkout, she told us the tip wasn't included on the receipt. (I know that.) When we left her the tip, she told me the tip amount was incorrect and that I had to give her 15% of the total.
I told her that wasn't true; I'd give her the tip if I wanted to. Then she told me it was true. I didn't want to give her anything. If you don't like the job you do, educate yourself and find a better one. And don't be left begging customers for tips.

This place is definitely not worth going out of your way for.

The selection was not very good. There were only 10 Chinese-American options in the buffet, the rest were things like chicken nuggets, desserts, salad, pizza.

The food we tried wasn't great... It was edible. It didn't taste like it had gone rotten or rancid. Most items were hot enough in the steam tables. Nothing to write home about.

The dining room looked fairly clean and I didn't stick to the table, which surprised me. At the end of dinner, I looked up, and you can see from the picture that they don't clean their ceiling vents or filters, so all that crud is falling and blowing into the food and onto your plates.

I walked into the bathroom. It was gross. This bathroom hasn't been cleaned for more than a day. It was filthy everywhere.

I hardly ever say bad stuff about a restaurant.
I will never go back to this one because it was gross and I can't imagine how it passed health inspection, and the food wasn't great.

Great prices, but not worth it

Typical Chinese buffet. Dined in three days a go. After the charge was posted, I found they changed my tip amount without my consent.

The food was just okay below. Good quality. The service was super friendly and the restaurant was okay clean but the bathrooms were really bad And the sushi was not fresh at all but the rest of the food was just okay. The staff were super welcoming and very professional.

Is it gourmet food? No. Have I eaten at better buffets? Yes. That said, there aren’t many all you can eat options left ANYWHERE in the state, let alone under $20 (!) for dinner. You just can’t beat the value. That’s why this is a 5-star rating in my book.

I drive 20+ min to come here whenever I get a craving for sloppy Chinese food, especially after a heavy lifting session. Long live Flaming Grill.

This was by far the worst buffet I’ve been to in the Boston area. The environment was nasty, and the service was unprofessional. The staff did not inform us that drinks like soda and juice were not included in the buffet price—we only found out when we received the check. When we raised the issue, the owner and waitress were both rude and dismissive. If this is how they treat customers, I can’t imagine returning or recommending this place to anyone.

There are many options to choose from. The staff is pleasant and available for questions/help. The prices are reasonable for the options that are made available to you. I will definitely be going back.

Meats and seafood are a little dry, but edible. Not 4-5 star dining, but good enough to get filled. Visiting from CT where true seafood buffets are plentiful.

I like this place great buffet selection especially on the weekends. I'm a seafood fanatic they offer a good amount of seafood as well as other items

Be wary going here. My best friend and I had dinner there, and we are now both sick with the exact same symptoms. Started of with stomach issues, headaches and now sinus infections. We were not showing any symptoms beforehand. Some of the food was cold. Service was your standard buffet mediocre service.
