Great experience and amazing food. If you think about it, the price is so worth it for all you can eat, there are over 50 different dishes and all of it was so good!

Utter trash. Tables and seats are dirty, very messy and loud place. Wait staff is unfriendly. Buffet is a nightmare. Want to order food? Either get chicken with loads of hair in it or chicken fried rice with nail clippings. Grubby kids running around sticking their hands in the food. Avoid this place, please.

Just watched some retards complain that their full plate isn't violating the restaurant's policy on getting too much food than they can eat. There are signs everywhere in the restaurant. To the customers reading this, don't be a r***** like that family of 3 with a baby and argue with the staff who's kindly explaining their policy. Don't slam your damn card down because you stuffed your gullet several times and say that you only went to the buffet line "once." To the staff, great job in maintaining your composure and redirecting the obese white family of 3 and the baby out the door.

The general tso and the lo mein was excellent hot and fresh and filled all the way up I asked for egg in my fried rice and it was in there I enjoyed the whole combo for one

My family and I came here to have a nice family dinner, little did we know the service was not very good , the food was not very good and when my husband wanted to get more food he could not because they ran out of most everything! But want to charge25 dollars a plate! One of the servers had the audacity to say that's a fair price and that sometimes people take more than they should so we run out quicker. To her that sounded fair. No it sounds stupid and greedy. We will not be dinning with them ever again.

The service was prompt and courteous. The dinning room was clean and the seating uncrowded. The buffet was wonderful! Everything was freshly cooked and delicious. If your looking for a good buffet I suggest you try here.

Food was good. Service was great. We’ve been looking for a great Chinese place since we moved to Alaska and out of all the ones we’ve tried, this one is the best by far!

Thank you again for preparing our order a day early! Our order was amazing! You rock!

This place was close to my company apartment so I went in. For over $20 for a buffet and a drink I got what rivals the worst Chinese buffet food I have ever had. The rice was hard. I waited for new rice to come out and it was hard too. The dumplings were flavorless. Everything looked like it had been sitting for two hours or more. I won't be back.

I had a great experience here coming from Houston on vacation. Was recommended this place and was not let down. The service was good and food was amazing. 10/10 would come back if given the chance.

This is actually a pretty difficult review to write. I haven't been to a buffet in a really long time. I'm not even sure I've ever written a review for one in my four years as a Yelper. Sure I've been places that have a salad bar or a couple dishes on a buffet, but nothing like this place The servers were attentive and friendly. The selection was vast. Lots of choices. Food: I started with sushi. I eat sushi quite a bit. This did not taste like the sushi I'm used to. Bland. I don't want to cast any shade or make an inaccurate assumption, but it just didn't taste like the sushi I'm used to. I sampled about 8-10 different things during my visit. I really enjoyed the egg drop soup and the fried rice. The sesame chicken was tasty as well. The rest of the items were okay. I remembered at the second plate why I've avoided buffets. The only way to feel like you're getting your money's worth is to eat a ton. And I keep my portions pretty small these days. Notables - if you go for miso soup you might wonder where the dumplings are. The whole container is just broth. The dumplings are in a silver container next to the soup. Make sure you get one of them first.

This is by far the worst buffet I have been to. Plates were dirty and still had food on them. Most food was over cooked and seafood was under cooked. My boyfriend got food poisoning and called the manager and she was nice and offered me a coupon, but honestly I won't be going back.

Not much variety, almost no sushi. And what we did have wasn't even hot and the sushi was 70 percent rice and did not taste good. We barely ate anything and left. Had to pay full price still which was very disappointing when my fiance was still hungry.

Regina Tereshchenko

Terrible service! We came in an hour before closing. No food was at the buffet what so ever. We just ate three pieces on sushi from what was left and nothing was brought out. They charged us 25$ Per person. We complained that they had nothing and the lady at the front refused to lower our check. Never coming here again. Don’t recommend anyone else to as well.

A little pricey. I eat a pretty big lunch but not $17 worth. It's $21 past 3:30pm. Other than that the food is amazing and atmosphere and staff are wonderful. Will be back ??
