We took our daughter here for a birthday dinner for her friends. We were not told any pricing, nor given any kind of menus when we arrived. If there are food options outside the buffet, we were not told, just asked what we wanted to drink. On the buffet, there were pretty minimal food options, and no tofu (our daughter is a vegetarian). The serving tables were very steamy, and yet the food seemed questionably cooked through. I made half a plate and did not go back for seconds. As were were there, we witnessed customer cups getting refills directly over new cups and ice. Once even a customer's cup tipped on the filling grate and spilled used ice into the new ice serving bin. It was either not noticed or ignored. The place is in some disrepair, felt warm and humid in there, and didn't smell great. All in all, an experience I was unhappy to pay for.

My husband found maggots in the lo mein noodles and mussels. I told the employee and she told her manager and they both were laughing about it before coming back and offering me 10% off my husbands meal. But he ended up taking his meal off the tab. But I dont understand how a restaurant could have “A” rating with the heath department and have bugs in their food. And I just wanted to let people know .

Had a creepy scary movie vibe. Food was just ok. Not many choices. Small dining room. They just put the receipt on the table. No instructions on what to do when you're done. Just wasn't for me. I wouldn't go back. 40 bucks for 2 people not worth it.

There are lots of selections on buffet. Staff kept food replenished. Staff not overly friendly. More like cafeteria atmosphere than restaurant

I've enjoyed this buffet for years and my most recent visits were terrible experiences. The food quality is in the basement, inedible. Chewy meat, dried out wings and no flavor in most dishes. I will not return.

Nice family buffet style restaurant. Excellent selection of seafood, chicken, beef and pork dishes. Fresh fruit in season, salad. Not fancy but the server was attentive and the dining room very clean.

Buffet had lots of variety, staff was good. Outside could use some sprucing up to look more inviting. Food was fresh, flavorful. Will go back.

Sad to say this has been my least enjoyed buffet. Food was average at best. Surprised at the amount of fried food on the buffet. Indonesia want fried foods, I want a selection of various meat and vegetables dishes. There is no need for a return trip for me.

Saw a cockroach by the ice cream station. Didn't complain cause the food always hit.

Food quality is disappointing. The hibachi grill and sushi bar are closed at dinner time but the price sure doesn't reflect that.

The fish & vegetables with bean juice & white rice was tasty!
