I will start by saying it totally depends on what time of day you go as to what sort of food you get lately. We have had pretty good luck with dinner hours, lunch has been hit or miss depending on who is working (I would guess). We really like the pepper chicken, lo mein and egg drop soup. Order ahead online or by phone, decent prices and the wait is never too long even when they have a line.
Everyone knows this is the best place around. Best general soa I've ever had personally. The people are always nice and the food is always on point. Stop here every time I go through Lillington.

Can't believe after all of these years that she sold this place! The service is horrible now! The food quality has diminished and whoever took over changed the hours and is never open. He reopened the buffet for a very short time with horrible tasting, ice cold food. Just

The few pieces of chicken they used looked off. I didn't even eat a bite due to the look, smell and texture.

My family has ordered from here about 20 times this year and have never been disappointed! The lo mein is absolutely delicious and we really enjoy the crab rangoons too.

Ever since the new management took over. Food quilty has really gone down. Carb Ragoons bairly have any thing in them when they use to be filled. They changed the way they fri or the batter. What they use now makes the fried food more fluffy and less crispy. Having the buffet open is cool. But I would rather they close that and bring the quilty of the food back to where it was. Also I think the new manager was working the counter. Normally thier is a really nice lady who works the counter and that really made the atmosphere different.
Food is pretty good. A good value for the money. I will definitely come back and try more menu items.

Food was cold, flies on food, price was very expensive $31.00 for 2 people. Bathroom was disgusting, looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. Won't be back.

Under new management. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the buffet was running again. Maybe that food would have been better than what I ordered. The egg roll exuded oil. And tasted like old oil. The Pepper Beef and Sesame chicken had that same oily, off taste. The meats both tasted old. The Crab Rangoon were sad. Almost no filling so they puffed up, hollow shells. Very disappointing. Not up to the standard they had before. Not sure if I will visit again.

This is my first time ordering from here The rice tasted ok. However, I've never seen shrimp this small before. They were about the size of a dime. I purposely dumped the entire container of shrimp fried rice out to see if I actually got extra shrimp. 90% rice, 13 dime sized shrimp. (I ordered the $1 extra worth of shrimp)I also ordered 2 shrimp egg rolls. The first one had 2 dime sized shrimp & a lot of lettuce. Needless to say, I ate 2 bites of one egg roll & 1/4 of this container of rice.The establishment looked pretty clean and that's always a plus and the young lady I dealt with was nice.

The food was not tasty nor worth the money charged. It was a waste of money even on the buffet.
