This review is far fetched and I say this because this restaurant has been a favorite of mine for years and although I have not been here for a while I believe it when the reviews show how good they are and I just want to say that, that’s just outstanding family run business and I hope their children are helping keep their business going.

Me and my wife are at Magee hospital and must be here for a while . When I walked in the door, it was straight to the price and then the lady was trying to pick out my food for me at the buffet because they did not have food already so they rushed the chicken lo mein and gave us raw chicken . After we realize that there were a lot of things either super overcooked or super dangerously undercooked. When I tried to call back about it, they tried to pretend like they don’t understand what I’m saying!! Strange to me?? I would not chance it if you have family you don’t want sick .. this is one of those money money hurry hurry places . That will leave the family sick !!

Since the owner / staff asked for a reason for giving a one star for the review, I'll go more in detail to be fair to the business.

I ordered takeout on July 26th, 2024. My order was the BBQ Pork with rice, Seafood Congeee and the Fried Beef Noodle. The main reason for the subpar review had nothing to do with the deliver side of my order or price ( ie. Delivery time / temperature of food).

BBQ Pork with Rice
-the pork was dried and the pieces were the over cooked ends. I know you're going to get some end pieces in the dish, but we are talking about all the pork pieces being dry / end pieces.

Seafood Congee
- the congee consist of a few pieces of squid and diced up beef. No other seafood found in the congee

Fried Beef Noodles
- completely sloggy and the entire dish was one piece of noodle playdoh.

I am only reviewing the quality of the food and not the service because this was a take out order. I just hope the dine-in service makes up for the quality of the food. Weather you are charging $5 a dish or $500, there is no reason for intentionally providing lower end quality ingredients or lack of ingredients. If the owners want to discuss this in private, feel free to leave a time and I'm happy to call to discuss my review with them in English or Cantonese.

Reading the previous reviews made me give this place a try...they didn't have anything the previous reviewers rated on the buffet. The buffet was a little over $14.00 and plus a tip puts you at $17+...do not come here for the buffet is the lesson here...everything was basic, veggie lo-mein, oily plain fried rice, rice noodles, string beans...ect ect. Everything you would find as expected at a buffet. They did have one pretty authentic tomatoes and egg dish I haven't had since I was a kid in Taiwan. Other than that everything else was ok.

Nice place to chill and eat food for cheap. The food isn't awesome but it isn't bad. The service sucks. Mostly just a chill spot to hang out.

The buffet at US$14.45 is well worth it. It’s cheap, has a lot of choices, and tastes much better than the average American Chinese food.

this is a pretty good Chinese food place. I would say the buffet is definitely worth the money but in terms of taste ofc ordering from the menu is better. Not saying that the buffet taste bad just in comparison to ordering u can clearly tell a difference

I think this place is actually quite underrated! They specialize in Cantonese food, and some of the menu items are truly unique. I have tried a few of their dinners, and everything has been pretty satisfactory. A few days ago, I went and just got a little snack from them.I tried the flowing egg sugar buns. They were actually very tasty as well. Not incredibly sweet, but still very flavorful. Filled with a ton of the sweet paste on the inside. I’ve had this from a few places, and this has been one of my favorite versions. Tons of filling too! Solid portions, okay prices.All in all, I think this place is often overlooked, but it’s quite good! Very solid deal for the portions and unique items. I would recommend it!

The pork buns, duck, chicken, and dumplings were absolutely yummy. Each bite was a burst of incredible flavors. Highly recommend!

This buffet was AMAZING. High quality dishes for $13.99 that includes unlimited fountain drink. They had amazing chow fun, hunan beef, and rice noodles. My friend couldn’t get enough of the fried donuts.

They also had dimsum you can order a la carte. Each basket was $6.50. Other reviews raved about the dimsum but I didn’t think it was very good. We ordered shumai, har gao, pork buns, and egg tart. They were all just meh. 3/5. It wasn’t fresh and it tasted off.

But the buffet is great. I would definitely come back just for that.
