Super recommended.... Very good food, good service. For all there is to eat, the price seems fair. The seafood bowl that you can choose yourself and they steam it for you, was what we liked the most. The only minus point we found was that there was no ice cream machine... haha, but not everywhere is the same. Excellent.
Customer service is great but the food is bland. Wasn’t really hot . Room temp. Crabs ? aren’t good at all n they provide nothing to crack it open an no butter to dip it in. Also no cream cheese wontons . King buffet is a much better choice
Great buffet so many great options for the little ones! Salad bar for the healthier side and an amazing all you can eat seafood boil! Variety of warm delicious soups as well! Very great seating area not too crowded. Very nicely decorated seating areas. Great service, supper clean and delicious place highly recommend!
Whenever I go places I always start them at five stars and then let them determine how things go from there. I tried really hard to keep this place at five stars but the service was less than standard even. Most of the meat was dry. The price was more than fair for the quantity since it's all you can eat. The restaurant itself was clean I didn't go anywhere else to see what was going on maybe they'll get better I know covid has done terrible things to the whole restaurant industry
Huge improvement over the old buffet! We visited Chow Time a couple times in the year it opened and it was pretty mediocre. After it's reopening we decided to give it another shot. The service was excellent, the server was very friendly and everyone was always running around cleaning things and taking dirty plates. The food is good, much better than before. What really wowed me was the seafood station. It was really fun ordering different plates, and the food tasted really good. Will definitely be going back!My only recommendation is it would be great if they had a mongolian grill station, that would earn 5 starts for sure.
I do not get the couple poor reviews on this unless they mistakenly reviewed the wrong restaurant. This place was clean, well spaced out, the decor was great, the seating was new and firm, you didn’t sink out of sight on the booth benches. The food awesome! I was so pleasantly surprised! Kudos to the owners for taking a risk. This is a massive space, might be hard to heat and cool. I hope others will come here and bring their business so this place will stay open. It’s a nice addition to this area and again, I thought the food was great. I like the Island Buffet with the Samoan Coconut Milk and Taro. You can’t find that just anywhere.
limpieza y distanciamiento..buena comida y atencion amable
Great food! The staff took good care of us! I will go back again!
Fantastic and unique new place. We LOVED the computer where you can custom order your seafood, noodles, vegetables with great sauces. So many great options. Definitely worth a visit.
I heard this restaurant opened very recently. The interior design is really good. Overall quality is really good. Besides regular Chinese buffet items, you will enjoy those seafood items. If you plan to try only seafoods, you might get disappointed. Not too many options. They have also a very good dessert and soup sections.

This place just opened a week ago and it’s tracking buzz along the community! I love that they serve all kinds of food here (not just for seafood lovers) and it’s a beautiful gorgeous ambience! It’s really well spaced out, and the decor is very warm and inviting!They have Chinese food, Mexican food, soups, and your very own seafood boil area. This place has thought of everything you can ever want for an all you can eat buffet. My favorite is the “make your own seafood boil” area. You order from a computer screen, by adding the protein you want (chicken, shrimp, clams, mussels, blue crab) and it comes with potatoes and corn (you can remove this if you desire) and then you can choose what kind of sauce you would like on it (garlic butter, king sauce, no sauce, etc). You can also choose to add noodles to this and veggies if you desire as well. Then a ticket prints out with your name on it and tells you how many minutes it takes to have ur plate ready. Our seafood boil Plates were done in 5 minutes and we pick it up ourselves in the pick up station.BIG plus here is they have salt and pepper shrimp with heads on, and THIS is also my favorite dish here! Being Utah and all, a lot of places don’t have or don’t cook the shrimp this way, but when they do, I JUMP for joy!Met the owner Jasmine and she was so welcoming and personable, it was a delight to chat with her. Our server, Jesse, was very attentive and always quickly refilled our drinks and cleaned empty plates off our table.They even have flat screen TVs and it just made me feel right at home! For the price you pay and the vast selection of food you get (not to mention the variety!) this place has all the bells and whistles. Great service, decor is spot on, very clean, and attentive staff to wait on you. Will def be back when we are in the area!
The best part of the buffet was that you can make your own noodle seafood dish.They had shrimp, cabe, calamari and so much moreYou can choose your own sauce and make it southern style with corn and potatoes or Asian style with noodles and choice of sauce.
Super clean! Food options were great. Only negative for me was they didn’t have an ice cream machine ? (maybe because every buffet usually has one).
I was taken care of so well! It was just my newborn daughter and I, so eating while taking care of her was a little difficult. My sweet server helped me with pretty much every aspect; grabbing my seafood order for me, being super prompt when I needed a drink refill, and even watched my stuff for me when I had to give a diaper change. I would recommend on the service alone. As far as the food goes, the seafood bar was amazing. Everything was cooked really well, and the garlic butter seasoning was spot on. I highly recommend the crab and baby octopus with rice noodles.
Yummy food and all you could possibly eat. Very nice staff, clean, self sit and self serve. Mongolian grill was great and they have shelled and veined shrimp (something not to frequently found around buffets). Overall pleasant and I'd visit again soon.
