Haven't been there a long time, and pleased to say this place is still good.
Plenty of good food with large variety, drinks, pleasant stardust's to pick up the plates.
Every one was nice and helpful.

You and your two friends entered the buffet, excited for a casual meal, but the atmosphere quickly took a turn. Almost immediately, you could feel the staff’s watchful eyes on you. It wasn’t the friendly, attentive service you’d expect; instead, the staff seemed overly concerned with every move you made. Every time you glanced around or reached for a dish, the servers were practically hovering, peering over their shoulders, and lingering nearby with uncomfortable intensity. It was as though you and your friends were being scrutinized, as if they expected you to do something wrong.
At first, it was just awkward—maybe a glance or two—but it soon became clear that this wasn’t just paranoia. One of the staff members was standing a little too close, watching your every bite as if you were doing something inappropriate just by enjoying the meal. Every time you went to the buffet line, there was a sense of being followed or monitored, even though you weren’t doing anything out of the ordinary.
The tension continued to build until it crossed a line. Perhaps someone had made a comment—maybe an accusation about your eating habits, or perhaps you were even subtly told that you had taken too much food or weren’t following their “rules” (which, in a buffet, can sometimes be vague). Whatever the case, it was clear that the staff was making you and your friends feel like you didn’t belong, or worse, like you were being judged for simply being there.
After all this buildup, the final straw came when you were confronted. Maybe they made some excuse—something about your behavior or an unfair rule enforcement—and it felt as if you were being escorted out, with no room for explanation. You were caught off guard, especially after the uninviting atmosphere you’d already endured. The discomfort, the feeling of being watched like you were doing something wrong, all led to this unpleasant end to what should’ve been a simple meal with friends.
But here’s where it got even more bizarre—when you cracked open the cookies, there was nothing inside. No fortunes, no messages, just hollow cookies. It was almost like the final insult, as if the staff had deliberately made sure the last interaction was as uncomfortable and disappointing as the rest of the meal. What’s usually a fun, little treat at the end of a meal became an empty gesture that felt more like a slap in the face. It was as if they were telling you, without words, that they didn’t care about your experience or the quality of their service.
Instead of walking away with a sense of closure, you were left with nothing—no fortune, no apology, and certainly no desire to ever return

Good variety of fresh food

The only thing I liked was the fried catfish. They don’t really have a lot of selections. Also, I was not OK with where I was sitting as it was close to busser station, and the employees were literally just talking loud behind me and my guest.

As we were seated, another guest was leaving. We were seated by the entrance/ exit. They accused a lady of a declined card. She showed them her account activity. They still accused her not letting her go. This went on for about 15 minutes of her and her guests trying to prove that they aren't theives. Until she was cleared. They never apologized to this woman and her guests. On top of that, i caught them multiple times frowning at me and other guests. When i would make eye contact, they would either turn walking away abruptly or give a smile while staring, not blinking. That behavior alone made my stomach turn. Will not be returning such unexpectedly rude people. Will go back to Adams Ave. where they know me and my guests are also happy to see us.

I wanted to update this review. 2/28/2025. I love this place. I've been coming here for a long time. My family and my friends come here. I've had parties here. I never once encountered any problems this place. Has always been a favorite in my family and friends and the food is great.This Place is the best. Fresh food and sushi, great selections of different foods to eat. Very friendly servers,,great service,, all you can eat for a great price

This place was a mess. I attended with a group of 50+ people and the service was horrible. The waitress stand over you as if they are watching you or guarding every area. They are not trained to host large parties. The waitress was lazy and didn't help pour all of the drinks. They filled 2 soda options in pitchers then poured the cups halfway being cheap. The cups and utensils were greasy and dirty, the bathrooms were dirty and had a horrible smell and the buffet carpets smelled old and mildew. The food wasnt hot and taste old. Worst buffet experience definitely won't be back if I visit the area again. Paid more than $800 expecting a nice experience.

Everything was great until we started to leave we paid the bill no problem left a tip the lady that didn't even wait on us started to clear the table she had a nasty attitude & mind you it was only 3 ppl at our table & it was not even dirty!!!!!!! so she cleared the table she snatched the cups off the table we only used the one sliver bowl they give you two for trash so the straw paper, napkins the plastic from the fortune cookie papers , then she did it with such force like we took to long to get up it from the table was not even crowded at all in there ( we walked in @2pm-left out time was 3:30pm ) Never had any issues before!!!!!!!!! Our waitress told us take our time no rush Our bill was $55.02 + a tip on top of that for 3 ppl no problem or issue what so ever....... so what was the real issue????? The table across from us was 6 Working men on their lunch break they even looked at the lady like wow & the table in front of us were two older ladies so again what was the real issue????? 2 adults 1 Senior didn't even ask for any special discount just a normal day so again what was the real issue???? In this day in age and the world/times we live in 2025 & All around us we should be able to come together & support one another especially community /business/human beings just like that just wow that's all I can say & this is my first time writing a review for them only because we live & learn so I will think twice before coming back & again I have been here with my family & friends many times.....

first off I wanna say the customer service was terrible! they up charged us, they would stand right by us and stare at us, yes directly at us. the cups were not clean and they tried to charge us for a styrofoam cup. they did not even give us the right amount of forks, after asking several times while being stared at we had to grab one off another table. secondly, they were talking about us the whole the whole time with other co workers. my cousin asked for a lemonade several times and he got ignored multiple time, he had to raise his hand. Third, the food wasn’t fresh and the chicken didn’t look edible, the av from the sushi was browned as if it wasn’t fresh, the muscles didn’t look clean at all. lastly as it was time to leave our server came and asked for a tip multiple times and kept staring at us.
Also they didn’t have crab legs, lobster, make your own seafood boil, half of the food they have on their online website is false advertisement.
