The service is generally good, with staff being friendly and communicative. The restaurant is clean, and parking is accessible, although it can be a bit tricky. The dinner buffet is a highlight, featuring hot and fresh food that is both tasty and varied. Guests have praised the perfect crispness and flavor of the veggies in the dishes, as well as the impressive ice cream selection that caters to everyone's taste. While some dishes may be hit or miss, such as the meat which can be fatty and gristly, there are plenty of options to choose from, including the BEST beef and broccoli around. The dessert selection is also noteworthy, and the restaurant's buffet options, including General Tsos and popular choices, are well-stocked.
