The food was really good for dinner. A lot of seafood is on the buffet. I really enjoyed it this time.

It seemed as it had been sitting out for awhile. Everything was really dry. I got up twice for water and then had to ask a different waitress for it. Haven't been here in years but instantly remembered why.

Good food, but usually it's not very hot. Even though we got there at opening time. Could use some remodeling inside. And service pretty quick to seat you, but lacks sometimes when needing a refill.

Came here last night with my family for dinner. When we arrived, parking was plentiful but the lot was so dirty- trash everywhere. That’s not necessarily their fault so we carried on. Upon entering, they asked how many and seated us. There was only one other family there. The carpet looks as if it had not been cleaned in decades but everything else was clean. While there was a lot of selection, most things only had a little bit left and looked like they had been sitting out for far too long. After tasting the food, it was confirmed that was likely the case. My egg rolls were stale and cold. Noodles were salty and chewy. Fried rice was fine. I had some kind of shrimp with sauce and that was probably the best thing I had but it was still a little crusty. Sushi was ok but there wasn’t much of a selection. For the deserts I figured no way could they mess up jello but boy was I mistaken. I don’t even know what flavor the green one was supposed to be but it was awful. The mango one was delish though. They had little cakes and those were stale. Overall the food was lacking. My son barely ate anything and he didn’t like most of what he tried. Same with myself. My daughter ate like one cookie and a few fries. Total for 4 people (2 adults and 2 kids) was $62 and change. They also had a sign saying you may be charged for any food you do not eat but I sure hope not considering a lot of it was not good. I’m not sure if they did because my husband paid and I didn’t look at the receipt.
I would like to visit again and see if last night was just a dud but we will see. The only great thing I can say about the restaurant right now is that the staff was super nice and attentive. They were great with the kids and we always had drinks.

Been to many Chinese Buffets and surprisingly this is pretty good.
Selection of food is great from chicken to beef to seafood to frog legs, yup you read it right.
The soup was more on the salty side.
They also have a section for stir fry where you get your own ingredients for them to cook.
The restaurant has lots of seatings and is clean. First time a Chinese restaurant that doesn’t have sticky floors.

I was pleasantly surprised. My husband loves buffets more than I and I was very hesitant. We arrived on a Friday just before lunch. They have a very large well stocked buffet. They have all the usual items and they were hot and fresh. Staff was super attentive and nice to talk to. She told me how to pronounce qīng wèn. It means excuse me. The q makes the t sound. We will definitely stop again.

If you’re in Athens or around I recommend checking this place out. The atmosphere was welcoming and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely check this place out.

There wasn't a lot of options to choose from. Majority of the food was honestly sitting out for too long and it was kinda crusty and dried out the sushi especially. The sesame chicken was honestly good though but don't believe the prices online as there are incorrect says 9.99 weekends lunch specials, then sign on the door then says 12.99 but when I get my receipt it was $17. Insane if you ask me those are Dallas prices for no reason.

If you like fried roaches in your fried rice eat here! There was a huge dead roach 🪳 in the fried rice when I was fixing my 1 year olds plate thank goodness I saw it and left immediately absolutely disgusting

Since new ownership, food tastes stale and rubbery/chewy texture. Did not taste fresh.

Typical Chinese buffet. But a lot of taste to the food. We were there for a long time, some making multiple trips to the buffet. Very gracious wait staff.
