The place was nice big and nice, food variety was tooo little for such a big place, the restaurant was overcrowded it feels like I’m fighting for food with long line ups. And food quality was 7/10 it was okay but not very tasty. The price I payed for a weekend buffet dinner was around 66 dollars including drinks. For that price I expected more quality. This will be the last time I go here.

just a good time to pig out on some chinese
Went to celebrate for bday ..Tooo noisy and soooo very busy
...lots of line ups to get food..they give 1 hr and a half to dine but takes at least 20 to 30 mins to get to the food u need to get , time runs out easily just doing that. Not much time left to have your dinner.. but we were ok server was understanding.. they have lots of good food. I love fish .. I go lot for sea food.. Service is ok considering how busy ... those poor servers are way too busy!

We took both sides of our family here for a Christmas dinner treat, and it turned out to be a great choice. We went on the weekend, so everyone was able to enjoy AYCE grilled oysters and received a coupon to redeem one half lobster tail. We arrived right at the start of dinner with a reservation and were seated quickly. The venue filled up fast with other families celebrating Christmas, and there were long lines at the door shortly after.
The grilled oysters were amazing, and we made it a goal to grab at least one with every round, lol. The garlic grilled oysters were by far tastier than the cheese ones. The lobster tails were a decent size and not overcooked, especially nice with the butter. While the lobster tails were not AYCE, there was a seafood boil style dish with unlimited lobster claws, which we definitely took full advantage of.
The overall selection was great for the holiday price we paid. There was a nice variety of sushi, including salmon and tuna sashimi. The Peking duck was juicy and delicious. They also had prime rib, though that was unfortunately pretty dry and tough to chew.
Service was excellent throughout. There was an area we initially thought was a stage, but it turned out to be a Christmas photo op spot, and the staff kindly took some great family photos for us. Everyone left full and happy, and if you know, you know, pleasing Asian parents, especially with food, is no easy task, lol.

Came for lunch the other day and enjoyed everything we tried! Lots of very good dishes! My only complaint is that it costs $8 for a pot of tea. In a nice place, I would hope that tea would be complimentary! Friendly staff and servers.

Tables are too clise to each other.
Food was a big disappointment. Not much variety & nit worth $55 a person. Lobster was very tough & the crab had a very funny tast.

Came here as a plus-one for a company annual dinner and basically joined for the food.
It’s a Chinese restaurant, but interestingly there were quite a lot of Western guests as well. The meal was a time-limited buffet.
Soft drinks like Coke and lemon soda were included and constantly refilled by the staff. Plates were cleared or replaced quickly whenever they were empty, which made the service feel attentive.
For buffets, I usually gravitate toward Japanese items. They had sushi and sashimi here—not a huge selection, but decent. By the time I got to the BBQ area, I was already full, so I can’t really comment on that section.
I skipped the stir-fried dishes and carbs altogether. There were also crab legs, but they were honestly too much work—even as a seafood lover, I gave up on them.
There was some light, slightly awkward small talk with the people sitting across from me, which didn’t help the appetite. After about an hour, we left early since we still had to head downtown.
Overall, a solid buffet experience with good service, though timing and crowding definitely affect what you get to enjoy.

Called to make a reservation, was told to just walk in. To travel and then be told I needed a reservation or it’s a 1.5 hour wait. You lost customers today!
