Food is great but I dont think anyone appreciates when you close 2-2.5 hours before your posted closing time every night. If you close at 7pm or 6:30pm Sunday-Thursday but 9pm is posted on your door then update it on the door atleast and update the hours on Google to follow whats on your door. Friday and Saturday is supposed to be 10pm but they will close between 8-9pm. Just be more professional and let the customers know.

Came in at 11:30 to order some lunch. I stood at the counter for 10 minute before anyone would even look at me, then a young guy showed me a message on a phone saying he could not take orders he did not have access to the computer. I let him know I only need two egg rolls and you can keep the change. After another 10 minutes someone else walked up and asked if I was being helped, I said "not really" she logged in and took my order. Said it would be 5-7 minutes. I was standing there for about 30 minutes in total. I know I could have placed an order online, but this place charges a fee for online orders. If they were only taking online orders they should have put a sign up saying so.

The chicken lo mein and egg rolls were good. The hot and sour soup was flavorless brown broth with button mushrooms. The kung pao chicken was very sweet with no spice, rubbery chicken, and no peanuts. Could not eat it at all... I asked to make sure it really was kung pao chicken, and they indicated it was. One and done at this place.

Came here on Saturday afternoon (1/20/24) with my kid and went through the buffet... $15 each plus drinks.Food was old and pretty gross. We quit eating after a few minutes of trying. I let the cashier know we were leaving because the food was extremely not good. (The rice was hard, chicken was old and tough, I had to spit out my eggroll.)The cashier didn't care, charged us full price anyways.Cost me almost $40 to leave so we could go get something to eat. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend. :\

This was my second time to this place and both times were exceptional! If anything isn't fresh on the buffet, they will bring it out quickly! They are so nice. The food is excellent, especially the crab legs!Wheelchair accessibility: From the from and inside.

Wife and I on a whim decided to try this place since we were next door anyway. It was near closing time, yet the two people working there were still super friendly and when we got our food, it was delicious. Was not expecting that.Honestly the best I've had from any Chinese place around the area. Wife and I got the sesame chicken and the honey chicken combination plates. The chicken was super flavorful, and the fried rice was too. GOOD fried rice is a rarity around here, most places just plain do not know how to cook it (or don't care). Not the case here. Pleasant surprise! Crab Rangoon here is also no joke, very good as well. Egg rolls are a little small but taste much better than everywhere else.Restaurant itself is very nice and well kept. You've just earned yourself a regular customer. Will definitely return!

We just went here for the first time, and the food was incredible! We often gone to other nearby chinese restaurants and have largely been dissapointed. We got crab rangoon, sesame, honey chicken, and eggrolls. All of them were great, and the fried rice had bean sprouts in it! My favorite!I'm unsure why others have said the food wasn't flavorful, we loved the food and will make it our new usual!

Ive called in advance to ask about the crab legs on the the bar to be sure that they had them and verified that they were on the all you can eat bar. The representative said yes to both questions and i informedher i was on the way. Unfortunately not a great review this round. I've call this a miss or a hit Chinese restaurant. After getting seated we noticed there was almost no food on the bar left, one of them being the crab legs. The place was empty so we tried to give them credit we noticed the food on the bar was old and stale but we made the best of it. After an hour we noticed that they were not replacing any of the food on the bar and the waitress had brought us a bill which we barel ate yet due to the low food on the bar. (No options) my husband ask the waitress about the crab legs and she said we should have asked if we wanted it.(that's why I called, and it's a self served bar) I was a little disappointed since this was our 2nd time here and I was so excited after the first visit. They did reduce the price but not by much considering we only ate stale rice, and dry chicken and my husband complained that the food was not worth full price which I still feel we paid more than we should have. 14.99 per person deserves better than stale food. Should have a least replaced something on the bar to be fresh. Each pan had the last of the last in them which dried out. Come on we gotta do better service.Kid-friendliness: Great for kids maybe alittle high priced for kid meals but my daughter love eating here

Wanted to give this place a try. Picked up the order, was sitting on the front counter getting cold. Worker was not friendly. Took it home and the bag was full of spilled sauce because of the bad containers used. Gave me fried rice (which looked terrible) instead of the white rice I ordered. Bourbon chicken had huge chunks of green bell peppers and onions for some reason? Totally ruined the taste of it. Definitely not worth the price.

I found this restaurant as our usual asian places are all closed on Tuesdays.. so I ran search to find it close to my house. The food was wonderful, chicken juicy, beef tender, everything was delicious. My son and I were delightfully surprised will definitely go back. Price was reasonable for a buffet. Food was prepared as needed so always fresh and hot, all food covered which is a nice feature.Vegetarian options: There are several entries and also salad choices for vegans (to which I'm not one)Parking: There is plenty of parking in lot including handicap parking

My roommate and I grab takeout from here and we’ve received nothing but amazing service! After one time stopping in, they now recognize us when we walk in the door. We’ve never been disappointed with our orders and will continue to order from here. Definitely recommend!

The table we sat at was sticky, checked the table next to that and same. Should of got the hint. The food was just ok tasting and not such a good selection for buffet. The service was ok till I went to pay. Got my receipt thrown at me with a "come again please."as he was running off to talk to another worker. Had to make a sprint to the bathroom at home. Nah I'm not going to even give it another try

Typical, but bland. Veggie fried rice is full of great veggies: broccoli, snow peas, etc. Spring rolls were my favorite. Egg drop soup could have used more flavor as well.
