came here all 17 years of my life and this place never disappoints, at least once a week im craving the bomb noodles and rice combo with spicy chicken. sometimes service is mid but theyre mostly sweet.
I love the food
Highly disappointed. I don’t expect a cheap buffet to be gourmet, but I also don’t expect stomach cramps from eating half a wonton. I know buffets aren’t super hygienic, but this place was pushing it. All the food looked like it would give you food poisoning… it did. Spend the 15 bucks on taco bell or upgrade to panda express, don’t waste it here.
Good chinese buffet, quick service
As a tourist, I’m always greatly concerned when I roll up on a rural Chinese food buffet with mixed reviews.
When we arrived about 1145 on a Wednesday, the place was busy with about 60 customers.
The place is very nice on the outside, but a bit in need of maintenance on the inside. Most of the pictures are hung on the wall, crooked, and you can tell that they freshly painted, but did not do any trim work. Tables and booths are worn, but serviceable.
Service was pretty good, about what you would expect in a buffet style restaurant. We were immediately seated. And our drink order was immediately taken and provided. The cleaning of plates was also very prompt.
The buffet was very well stocked, and everything was hot and flavorful. Unlike many other places that I visited. Dishes had a distinct flavor and were spiced appropriately.
Particular favorites this visit with the general’s chicken, and the hot and spicy chicken. A note, was the seafood combination, which was plentiful with shrimp. The dumplings, rice noodles, and lo mein were also quite good.
This is a very serviceable, quick buffet, and a good value at $11.99. Four out of five stars, and would definitely return again.
well we went to have lunch around 11:45 on 3rd June 2025. The atmosphere is good but the service is minus. We didn't feel welcomed, the host face has tension like she wants to kick us out. The server is very hush. Food is ok but service is the worst, felt like we are owing something to them. no customer service training for them or may be just the worst service ever.
Very enjoyable place food is excellent.

Typical Chinese buffet. Decent enough food fair prices given the economy and you leave full.

Lady was super rude and disrespectful. I've noticed more of this in the last years. What's up!!
Food is good, although the time of day can greatly affect the quality of it.
We prefer to go 11:30-12 for the fresh lunch choices. Service has greatly improved over the years. Servers are friendly and happy to help. Some areas are certainly more worn than others, even the exterior of the building. Great place for a larger group meeting to eat together.
You can also get carry out. Which is a great bonus!

The food is good here but the service yesterday when I went to pickup my food was not good at all. They do not have coconut shrimp on the online menu, so I figured I would ask for a container of it and obviously, pay for it when I pay for the food I ordered online. The lady that was at the register and talked to my boyfriend was very disrespectful and started loudly saying multiple times "you didn't order coconut shrimp" he tried to tell her yes but that wasn't an option online so we were wondering if can get a container of it and again obviously pay for it. So not sure what that was about but it was very rude and embarrassing since there were multiple people behind in line and in the restaurant.
