I live nearby but hadn't been here in about 10 years. I don't like buffets because the food tends to be flavorless. I was here at lunchtime, and the food was surprisingly tasty.
I didn't like that the dishes were very poorly labeled.

This place is outdated and gross . The restaurant itself needs some remodeling and refreshing . The bathroom was gross, men’s was out of order . Food half of it was disgusting . Sad when you pay what you pay , just was trying to find something new to try .

Worst Chinese buffet. Food was cold or lukewarm. Some selections looked old or have been reheated too many times. Condition of restaurant is rundown. Too bad.

I was craving a good Chinese buffet a months ago so I looked at the Google and decided to come here. I went back a couple weeks also. It was good. They are good at keeping things on the buffet and taking away your empty plates. It's not the biggest buffet but they have all of the good stuff.

I have been going to this buffet for about twenty years, and it is one of my all-time happy places. The staff are sometimes friendly but usually seem like they'd prefer customers weren't around, and they occasionally have loud arguments with each other during service, all of which I genuinely see as part of this restaurant's enduring charm. Also, the music they play around the restaurant generally seems to just be someone's personal playlist off a phone or computer, so the music mix is usually pretty rad. Genuinely, you should grab lunch here.
For the price (I only really ever go for lunch), I think it's a decent value, but I can eat a lot, and I'm clearly biased because I've formed so many memories around this place. I'd recommend the fried shrimp with a dousing of the sauce from the sesame chicken if they've just brought out the sesame chicken and there's a lot of sauce there. I'd also recommend the jalapeno chicken, because it's just really good. I find most of their normal fried things are slightly better than average, but they do vary a bit from visit to visit. Their teriyaki chicken is also pretty good, as is their egg foo young, and you can hardly go wrong with any of their meat & vegetable dishes or their just-vegetable dishes, and it's nice that they always have those. Their baked fish is always hot and buttery, and that's good too. They don't have a ton of options overall, but what they offer is tasty, and they also have a pretty extensive salad bar if that matters to you. Like, for the size of the whole buffet (effectively three hot bars, one salad bar, and one counter with desserts and drinks), the salad bar is pretty amazing and has almost as many separate containers as the whole rest of the buffet combined. The salad bar containers are just smaller, and they contain salad stuff. Two or three of them stealthily also contain pudding. Important info, if you like pudding. You might not think to check between the veggies on the salad bar for pudding, but that's where it is.
One of the nice little features of their setup is they have a self-serve soda machine -and- a self-serve soft-serve ice-cream machine right there next to each other, so you can actually make your own floats (my favorite is orange), but you HAVE to be careful about your ratios, because combining soft-serve ice cream and fountain soda can get VERY foamy VERY fast, and you shouldn't be making extra mess for the staff to deal with. I also like getting a little dish of peach slices or pineapple chunks and adding a bit of vanilla soft-serve on top. You can make a lot happen at this place if you get just a tiny bit creative.
Anyway, I would recommend this place to anyone who really enjoys cutely-decorated, modestly-priced, basically-delicious strip-mall Chinese buffets, because that is exactly what this is. Seriously, I've been going here for twenty years, and it's never let me down, but also my standards aren't super high, because I really love cutely-decorated, modestly-priced, basically-delicious strip mall Chinese buffets. If you're as into that sort of thing as I am, this one's a keeper. ✨??✨

Orange chicken Taste like crap, and I clicked on their website, which takes you to Facebook.
I called and ordered based on the menu on their website.
1 small Chicken Wing party tray
And 1 small Orange Chicken

When I got there, I noticed a price difference.
I told them I ordered small and told them about the price on their menu from Facebook.

The lady at the front cashier said "oh where you get that price from? "Oh that menu from 5 years ago."

Are you freaking serious?

I ended up paying for it and just left with my order. But 5 years, and you haven't updated anything at all? Are you even trying to run a Good Business or you just don't care anymore?!

How are people supposed to know the pricing then?
The chicken wings were okay.
?

Get your business together.

----------------NEGATIVE-----------
three people(adult and two teenagers) cost $54.00 to eat, even gave a tip of 15% but for what!?! Its all self serve: you grab your own cups for drinks, your own silverware from a stand, ect. Food was bland, with generic selections or complete similar flavorings for supposed different dishes and no actual fried rice "yellow rice with just onions" is not fried rice!", very disappointing experience, especially from the price! Will never recommend to go there or will never go back, and would highly push that if your hungry go somewhere else. Do not go.

Average Chinese buffet. No complaints. It's a quick spot to stop for lunch during the work day.
