Staff was really nice. There was a good amount of people in there and it was clean. Food wasn't by any means good. Partner and I tried all sorts of food, and most if not all of it, was dry and room temperature at best. Maybe we caught them on a off/bad day but wont be back.

Service was very friendly, staff was actively refilling, stirring, and cleaning the buffet.
The food was okay, minor gripe being the texture of some of the chicken offerings with sauce. The hot & sour soup was great, but the fried noodles were unfortunately stale.
There was a sign that they needed staff, and perhaps more staff would resolve these issues. It was extremely hot today, and it was cool & dry inside the restaurant, which was great. Drinks were ice cold and refills were offered often.
The price was $36 for two people and drinks, which is a tad high given the quality of the restaurant.
Overall - not bad, but not the best, and I hope they can resolve these complaints.

If I could give a 0, I would. I walked in there excited, expecting something decent with 4 stars. But I grabbed a plate and didn’t put anything down faster—this place was a complete joke. Peanut butter chicken??? Hard mac and cheese that looked terrible and absolutely not edible. Do not waste your time or money on this disaster.

Pretty decent Chinese buffet on noblestown. When I went it was lunch time, and basically everything that would be considered edible was empty on the buffet. After waiting for approx 20 mins the food was refilled, but did take up much of my lunch break. Food was ok, not exceptional, but buffets never are. May be worth checking out. Follow for more...

I went on a Tuesday evening around 6.
The majority of the food was 3/4th empty. I tried a handful of different kinds and they were not even warm. The gentleman asked if he could help and I said, well all the food is cold. Another lady came running over and pointed out the full, hot, and fresh chicken they just put out. Obviously, yes, that will be fine. I pointed out the rest of the buffet that was not. They offered to make anything I wanted. I stated you can't make the entire buffet. The guy followed me back to my seat and apologized. He said he's been in the food industry for a long time and only helps when he can and keeps telling them that in order to keep a buffet business, you need to keep things going and fresh. I didn't pay for the few bites I had but left a more than generous tip and wished they did better next time.

We had been there around 6pm and all the food had seemed to be sitting out and hard the egg drop soup was good but we didn’t eat much else other then ice cream they did not make us pay full price but unfortunately I don’t think we will be going back
Very terrible place the rice was not cooked and very dry, the chicken on the other hand tasted so bad and very chewy and not well cooked, service was awful, the waiters threatened me to tip them and so i was forced to tip before walking out the store.

I have been going to this place for 20+ years. Jenny and her husband sold it to another lady a few months ago, and it has been horrible ever since. I hadn't gone there in about 3 months, so I decided to go this evening and see if it improved. It got worse. I should have just walked out when I saw the dried up food that had been sitting there probably since noon. I got there at 5pm. The only things that were fresh were the crab rangoon, seaweed salad and wings. Everything else was garbage. Someone is going to get very ill, because nothing was at the right temperature, and the food was 5 or more hours old. The health department needs to go there and shut this place down. What a disappointment, and hazard. I will never go there again. It is so horrible, and unsafe. Run, do not walk, to another restaurant, because this one is garbage.

Been coming here for years, and this place has been a family favorite. But after a solid twenty+ years, the business was sold, and the place just hasn't been right since. We've gone a few times over the past few months, some trips were okay, but the last two were pretty dismal.
I'm willing to give it one more shot in a while, because maybe they just need to get things straight after being sold a long time successful business. 🤷♀️ The genuine offense for me was changing the coconut shrimp. It used to be so much better than other Chinese restaurants' coconut shrimp, but now it's just like everyone else's. Not bad, per se, but it's nothing special.
It's a real shame. I really loved this dinky little place.

I need to update my review because it’s evident that this place is under new management, and I have some strong opinions. The service was impressive! Our waiter was attentive, although there were a few language barriers. My family and I managed to communicate just fine, so it wasn't a major issue.
Now, let’s talk about the food—this is where I have some serious concerns. The quality has definitely declined. Previously, it was fantastic, but now it falls flat. When we arrived, the food was cold❄️, which is simply unacceptable. I’m personally facing some challenges with chewing due to dental issues, and many dishes were particularly tough for me to manage. The rice was overcooked to the point that it resembled rice krispies, and a lot of the items were very dry. The egg roll was tough and lacked filling, which was disappointing.
As for the General Tso and Lo Mein, they tasted like they were doused in barbecue sauce without any finesse. On a positive note, the Crab Rangoon was decent, though the portion was much smaller than I remember. My fiancée's Sprite tasted more like water, and the same goes for my Pepsi—both times. The waiter piled the cups with ice, leaving little room for actual drink, and I noticed this happening to every cup served.
Management, if you happen to read this, I urge you to encourage your staff to be more mindful during food preparation. I know this place has the potential to do much better.
