Stopped by the other day for their lunch buffet. Their sign outside said they were open, Google said they were open, the door was unlocked and their was food on the buffet. However a very rude employee promptly told me their were closed and would not allow me to sit. Can't comment on the food since I never received any.
Please contact the previous owners about their buffet/ recipes..we sat in and ate ...I saw several workers literally stirring the food up...its like they were playing in it!! That is ridiculous 😒 not to mention they were holding up the line from customers trying 2 fix their food...Who wants to stand and wait while you play in the food!! We had a previous server from the past owners which was good!! This place needs to tighten up or they will be out of business soon!! The food is now trash!!!

My favorite Chinese buffet in this area. This is a small restaurant but the food is hot, fresh and delicious! Excellent service and yummy take out food. If you don't want the buffet, order off the menu and eat at the table with your friends. We are so happy they have reopened on Sunday! Enjoy!

I wanted to like this restaurant, but the experience was disappointing. The food and service were clearly affected by the atmosphere created by the owner. Throughout my visit, I noticed the owner speaking harshly to the staff—criticizing and belittling them in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to witness, and you could see how it impacted the team’s morale. The servers seemed nervous and distracted, which led to slower service and mistakes with orders. Instead of focusing on providing good hospitality, they were walking on eggshells. A restaurant can only be as good as the people running it, and unfortunately, the owner’s behavior cast a shadow over the entire experience. Until the management treats their staff with respect, I wouldn’t recommend dining here.

The new owners took over and you can see a change in the food quality the fried chicken is dry the skin and the fried chicken looks like old oil has been used to frychicken the barbecue ribs don’t taste the same. The rice is mushy and bland. I’m just very upset because me and my family used to love going to this restaurant all the time the buffet and the carryout used to be very good now the quality is poor.
