It is about what you expect from a Chinese buffet. Lots to choose from. Tasted good.

I'm local and eat here for the lunch buffet every 4 weeks or so. Today I ordered online takeout - Twice Cooked Chicken, it's chicken with bean curd and cabbage in a savory brown sauce. I WAS EXPECTING TOFU with the chicken, as advertised and there was ZERO and the sauce sadly had no flavor. It was priced at $18.25 and it was not worth it. The family's other restaurant, the Bellefonte Wok used to make this dish the best. I'm not happy. The Manager at this restaurant is part of the family that owns the other restaurant.

Beyond expectations! We have been coming here for 20 years and never have had a problem! The owners are soo sweet and will accommodate to anything you need! The staff is also very sweet always checking if you need a refill and clean your table from old plates!

They will overcharge you and include tips IN the bill and won’t give you change. But when you ask for change they will argue with you

Pretty subpar experience and to top it all off they add a 15% service charge for parties of 5 or more. Food selection extremely limited, service rushed, ambiance non existent. There were limited options on a Sunday to get a quick meal and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, a terrible choice and how the experience concluded was saddening, especially since we were forced to leave 15% service at a buffet for someone to pick up two rounds of plates, which is preposterous. Never again

This is the most mid buffet I’ve ever been too, the cake was dry, the ice cream was plain, the selection is limited , and only about 4 items are good. This is a place you eat at if you’re high, drunk, or trying to feed your underfeed family. Overall would not go here there are better options.

Short story: Go to another Asian restaurant if you want Asian cuisine. It's not worth the $.
Long story:
Usually I don't like to write bad reviews but this had to be stated. Used to come here as a kid on Sundays and it always used to feel special here. Decided to try it again as I have not been here in a long while and boy... I don't plan on coming back. Food was bland and mostly tasteless. The only thing that were somewhat enjoyable was the coconut shrimp, ice cream and the water. Everything else I tried was either flavorless or watered down.
Service was the only thing that was really good. I remember this place was actually decent back in the day. Or maybe that was just my childhood speaking. But it honestly has fell down since what it used to be.
Ended up paying over $20 with a tip and I wasn't all that full.
Tldr: try any other Asian restaurant in the area, there is a lot of better places than this. For a similar price you can get hibachi, sushi or ramen and actually be full.
My personal recommendations are chen's Mongolian (hibachi) buffet, Tokyo (sushi), or tadashi (ramen). Just don't spend you money on this place.
