Great price, about $12 lunch variety was good, with kinda hott food & service could be better. 😔 They sometimes took your plate & even drink, when they didn't even ask if you were done 👎🏻plus you have to pay @ your seat & they took a long time to give us our check & then stared & waited there, until you tip them 🤦🏻♀️

Well guys. Not all reviews are glowing but it doesn’t mean things can’t get turned around. It’s hard to write this because I have spent time w family having a meal here over the years and it was always enjoyable but things have gone downhill in quality but I want to start out with the positive. The welcoming fish tanks upon entry seem 7.5 out of 10 in maintenance. The fish seem mostly happy. Great to see. I care about how people treat animals. That matters a lot. Saw some other review that the plates and silverware were cheap. Covid times made them use disposable for sanitary reasons. They kept that trend for a while but when we were there it was back to normal plates. Both seem ok to use. The tea is always good too. A full pot. Service there is not overly friendly but it is fast. I think we can all agree we don’t expect the Chinese restaurant workers to be exuberant to see us. I don’t want the place to go down but I do think some tweaks to the business could do wonders. Although I have no interest in returning any time soon this is my list of helpful tips. 1. Less items but quality. Not just coated weird sauces on stuff. We don’t need 100 passionless options. There are too many Asian cuisine options nearby that are legit competition in flavor and heart. So they should really shrink the offerings but try super hard with a few good things. Actually the eggrolls are not bad. And the sticky white rice. All is not lost. Th seaweed wrappers on the sushi were a bit gummy…. I have no idea how they make it but I never experienced that with sushi elsewhere or even there before. Now…My mom would prefer to not find A FEATHER 🪶 on her chicken 😳 and I think a language barrier prevented them from understanding what she discovered despite physically showing them aaaaaand I’m turning into a full time vegetarian faster and faster after this…. but this is the kind of thing that happens when things could use some fresh attention to the place. 2. Clean the bathroom. Literally. Like scrub the grime. Make sure paper towel is filled and fix the ceiling lights so that the one and only ceiling light shining into the one non dark stall doesn’t scare us all. A lot of people judge a place by the cleanliness of the bathroom. I definitely do. Stick some pretty soap in there and a fake plant. I don’t know. Just try. Dining area is always clean. Good job there. 3. Last not least: Remember to salt the sidewalks in winter-not just the steps. Hard to remember w the weather changing a lot and your busy but saw a few people struggling. And it’s just a helpful safety thing.
Bonus tip: Take a break sometimes so your not tired. When your working years on end in there day in and out… it’s hard to do your best when your just doing your best to survive. Best of luck & keep being good to those beautiful fish we all see when we first walk in. Hopefully this review helps.

Really good service and food, and also they are using the real plates and utensils now.
Lowkey worse place ever went here when I was younger and it was good but last time I came we were rushed by our server she literally kept trying to take our cups and we had to tell her we were still eating, when she saw me grabbing another plate she said “oh no” Loud enough the people at my table heard.

The food here has never been great, but my son loves it so it's where he wants to go for his birthday every year. I figure I can deal with it once a year, but this year I was absolutely disgusted. I went to scoop some green onions to put on my wonton soup (even though they looked dried out, I figured the soup might rehydrate them) and fruit flies swarmed out of the container. We had a few fruit flies float past our table, and we weren't even by the buffet. Also saw some barn flies land on the buffet. Other than that, I hate the styrofoam plates that are flimsy. The plastic flatware is so flimsy that you can't stab the fork into a piece of sesame chicken because the tines just bend. There's sushi and fried dumplings, but no small dishes to put soy sauce or dumpling sauce in for dipping. There's really not a very big selection of actual Chinese food, and it's all horrible. My kids and I can all order an entree and a few appetizers to split from China House (amazing Chinese food) for the same price as the buffet here, and the entrees are enough for at least 2 meals. So two meals from a good Chinese restaurant cost the same as one from here.

I was utterly disappointed. The food was awful and it was dirty. Styofoam plates and plastic cutlery sums up how this once go-to restaurant has fallen from grace.
Great food my kids love the seafood and sushi.
