Honest Reviews
The restaurant is conveniently located right off the interstate.
We were driving through Texas and wanted to eat at the big Texan but there was a long wait and we just wanted to eat and get back on the road.
I hadn't ate Asian food while driving through a different state so we decided to try it since it wasn't overcrowded for a weekend.
Luckily we arrived before the rush.
As soon as you walk in you pay and a hostess will sit you and you give the receipt to the waitress who takes your drink orders and suggested we go serve ourselves meanwhile.
There's a good selection of different foods offered. Fried fish, raw shrimp, bbq ribs, fried shrimp, bbq wimgs, fried rice, chicken, beef, too much to list
Theres also an area where they prepare food for you. That area was never clean like the rest. There was a lady constantly cleaning and refilling the trays of food. I waited until she would bring fresh food out and serve myself.
She made sure to wipe down the are throughout out servings.
I really liked that.
But I checked the prep area a few times they never wiped it down or took new fresh food so I didn't ask for anything to be cooked for me.
The buffet food was good with good flavor for buffet food.
The waitress was attentive and nice and made sure our table was cleared and that we had drinks while dinning.
The restrooms were clean and a cook had told me a long time ago, if a restaurant can make sure restrooms are clean all day and the dining area of the restaurant then they care enough to make sure it's all clean and safe.
The only bad was the area where they prepared food. It would have been nice to have tried something different. I guess it's ok because the buffet had a good selection and it was good.
Towards us finishing our food the restaurant started to get packed luckily we beat the rush.

Very honestly, the food just tastes funny.
None of it tastes like it's supposed to
The hot and sour soup doesn't taste like it. Has any soy sauce in it? I don't know what's in there. The rice noodles on the buffet. Don't taste like they're supposed to.
The sweet-and-sour chicken is it's really weird tasting. It's just very unusual, not Chinese food tasting.
Our waitress was very nice. The building is very nice. Clean has plenty of room for everyone. They also have a Mongolian grill that I did not try, but the line was long. And they have ice cream, which the line was long to

Wow just wow. The place is so cool! Its a huge open area buffet the food is so good and the service was awesome. Definitely want to go here again one day.
Still love the food and location but it was awkward the hostess and the man behind the counter seemed to be fighting. Made the entire magic of this place fizzle.

I advise individuals to refrain from patronizing this venue, as their policy requires payment prior to being seated. This practice is not in alignment with standard customs. If customers choose to bypass this establishment, it is likely that they will either reconsider this policy or face financial difficulties. The mindset of requiring payment before service is not representative of typical American business practices.

What a great value and selection. We came for lunch and really enjoyed it. The food is good and includes options for every dietary need. Assorted appetizers egg rolls, wontons, etc and desserts including cobbler and ice cream. There’s a grill and sushi, too. If we lived here we would be regulars.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here
$19 per person for lunch is too expensive for the food quality and overall cleanliness of this place. The carpet leading to the restroom is a disgrace. Mongolian bbq had a some young Mexican kid cooking did not speak English very bland as they only put it on a flat top not in a wok so it basically just boils on the flat top. Best thing I ate was the egg rolls the fried rice . Also no ice cream. For what you get the price should be about $ 14 a person

We stopped here on our way home from Wyoming, we live about 2.5 hours south of Amarillo. We were charged $112 for 3 adults and 4 kids with 2 drinks and the rest waters. When we were sat, our table was filthy from previous diners. We went to the restroom, prior to getting our food and it was also filthy…like, too filthy to even wash your hands in…so we used hand sanitizer that we had. Off we go to get our food….and almost everything is old and had been sitting out for hours. The sushi was extremely old, so we didn’t even chance that. The only thing fresh to order was hibachi, but we didn’t have time to wait bc it seemed that’s what everyone was ordering being that all of the buffet food was stale. If this place is going to charge that much money, they need to have fresh food, period. This was not acceptable. Our waitress was nice enough, her service had nothing to do with the nasty food being offered. I would check the food bars before you agree to pay to eat here.

The servers were nice. Quite friendly and professional, but that's where the good news stops. The Asian food was average at best, but all.the other food such as the ribs and brisket was bland; legit zero flavor. Definitely not worth the price
