My family and I have tried plenty of buffets and eat at them often. This is one I went to thrice recently: two on normal days (one weekday, one weekend) and one on a holiday (so more expensive and supposed to be more premium food options). The food is as you expect in other Asian buffets with Asian-American style foods, American friend and grilled food, some soups, a sushi bar, cold salad bar, desert sections, etc.
A disappointment is the inconsistent flavor/texture of the food. One day has no flavor/taste you expect for the asian dishes (this is a purely factual note, but also noticed the cooks weren't Asian for that specific day so could explain the difference in taste/recipe). Another day was too salty and the crayfish were very well overcooked, and another day could be the food tasted more like what you can get at Chinese take-out places, which is what you want!
The menu was pretty consistent in having the same items whether for lunch or dinner. The special holiday was not so special in that we paid more than usual for just some crabs being offered, while crabs would be offered in other buffets on any other day.
I really liked the place was huge and the seating was spaced out, so gives you some privacy to just eat or talk with others. Would recommend if you're in the area and looking for affordable food options that's a buffet. Often noticed tour busses and people coming to eat here so maybe it is recommended to many others too.

Nice place
The waitresses was rude and inconsiderate. The employees was not concerned about your needs at all.

To be honest, the place needs to be kept cleaner. The food wasn't as great as I thought. The booths are worn down. It's alright, but a bit pricey.

Our first time trying out. Sunday afternoon. They were kinda busy yet had plenty of seating to accommodate. The people are very kind. The food extremely fresh and constantly refreshed with new when getting low. Excellent presentation.

Piles of food was set out for late lunch/dinner. Bad thing was anything from the top was not to health dept. food temperature regulations. Much seemed to be last night leftovers. Taste was washed out on most beef, ribs, ect. I love Sushi, the select 16-18 varieties available were pretty much the rendition of at least 17 of the selection. One small roll of tempura on line must have been a favorite, as the chef rolled the crunchy morsel of fried something in the center. 4.8 rating, gotta be good! Sorry, but no. Rated 2.4, only due to the place was clean.

I went again today for lunch buffet which is $2 cheaper and well worth the fee. Whiting was too salty. I can tell that a different chef was working. Old Bay and pure seasoned salt was sprinkled all over the fish for flavor . FYI Bad Byron's Butt Rubb off Amazon is less salty and flavored. Use natural flavors and veggies bin a stir fry to add a healthy taste. Stay on top of your game
Excellent food and customer service at a great price! All you can eat fresh seafood, soul food, and BBQ. I attended on a Friday night, and the crowd was not cognizant about cleanliness,
sanitation recommendations, boisterous, and several people were eating while standing over the buffet food trays. Little kids were preparing their own plates unsupervised and double dipping making a mess.

This place is pretty good overall. Most of the food tasted nice. They don’t have as many options as some other Chinese buffets we’ve been to in Maryland, but the flavors were good. One thing we noticed was that the tongs for pork and chicken skewers were mixed up since they were placed next to each other. We don’t eat pork, so we had to skip that whole section. It’s not a huge issue, just something to be careful about. The fruits didn’t look very fresh especially the watermelon, which didn’t taste good. The salad bar was okay, but only available at dinner. One thing we really liked was the restroom. It was very clean and smelled nice. My kid is very picky about restrooms, and this one was great. Overall, we had a good meal, but there’s room for improvement.

The place definitely had a lot of choices even for lunch. There was stuffed crabs, steamed mussels, shrimp cocktail, breaded shrimp and so much more! Wanted to wait til 3pm to see if they really discarded food but didn't. Will definitely go back since I could not possibly try it all. May need carpet/floor update soon but it's ok for now. Servers were very attentive and quick to bring drinks to us.

I enjoyed the experience. There's a variety for everyone. All tastes, but some are a bit spicy and have a bit of sauce.

The food was ok. It wasn't great. The tomatoes had no taste. The beef and the sesame chicken were tough. I was not at all impressed for this costly buffet. The bread was good and the desserts were good.

Old dude at the front register needs to learn manners. Super rude. Hibachi was raw when they gave it to me. Old food too. Definitely feel sick. I threw out pretty much everything I grabbed. Super disappointing. Very small selection too, not sure where the four star rating came from.
