Overpriced and not good. The food was very bland and not worth the price.
It was not worth the price. Yes they have both Mexican and Chinese food but the problem is they don’t do neither one of them great. You better off going to a restaurant that focuses on one or the other.

The buffet provides plenty to choose from, with notable highlights including the taco bar where crunchy tacos, steak tacos, chicken tacos, and birria tacos for dinner are made fresh. The shrimp, described as the biggest seen at an all-you-can-eat place, and the salt and pepper shrimp are particularly praised. Other favorites are the chicken quesadilla, quesadilla bites, and the variety of salsas and toppings available.
The atmosphere is good and not overly noisy, and the restaurant is noted for being very clean, including the buffet line and bathroom. The staff are consistently described as nice, friendly, courteous, polite, and responsive. The owner is noted as super friendly and compassionate toward the business and customers.
Prices are considered reasonable and worth it for the quality, with the lunch buffet around $15 and the dinner buffet just over $24. While some desserts were less favored, the banana pudding cup and cherry and blackberry pastries are standouts. Overall, it is considered a better-than-average buffet, a great place, and a new favorite spot in town that comes highly recommended.
