My mom and neices favorite restaurant. A great place to take a family to get your monies worth. I'm a seafood food and this place has a variety. It's a lot better than before, the food taste better, and my over all customer service experience is 5 stars. "If anything changes I will bring these stars down!!!"

Reviews had me unsure of whether I'd be heading to a pleasant experience or a fight ? but everyone we encountered was very nice and polite. The restaurant was clean and several employees were busy refreshing buffet items and cleaning the entire time we were there. The food I tried was good. My kid ate a ton of sushi and really enjoyed it. My one complaint and probably what will keep us from returning is that there are a lot of seafood items mixed in with non seafood items there was very little labeling of items and while that's not an issue for most people, I have a severe shellfish allergy so all I had was breaded chicken wings and fried rice and some noodles as those seemed the safest options for me based on what was around them. Other buffets I've gone to had a bit more separation between the seafood items and I felt more free to choose.Kid-friendliness: My kids loved itParking: Lots of parking

Initially coming in on 1/25/2022 for the lunch special I was seated by someone who wasn’t the most pleasant. When I was asking about drink options for if they have coke/pepsi products and seemed very annoyed by me and responded in a tone like I was putting her out of her way by being there and she stood there blankly staring at the notepad with an annoyed expression while waiting for me to pick which drink I wanted but I shook it off and ignored it but I was very shocked by her customer service. I debated mentioning this part as well in my review in case she may have been having a bad day (we all have them) but from looking at a couple of reviews from this week I have read, this pattern seems to be consist. Once seated, I had a very kind waiter whose name I wish I asked for. He was very attentive and quick with filling my drink up or taking plates off the table as well as checking up to make sure I was doing okay. The bar also had nice options in my opinion.

There really isn't a greeting when you enter. Just how many people! Shown to a table and let loose to meander the rows of choices with many hungry people focused on piling up plates and not respecting personal space much at all. The food choices are adequate and monitored well. The staff are good about refreshing drinks and clearing empty plates with a courtesy not always seen. Payment is made easier by the waitress vs cashier line as before. Clientele are a bit rough due to location. Chinese buffets don't draw "well healed" crowds in Lakeland. Volume not quality...

Kid-friendliness: They try to be as kind and friendly as they possible can just be patient with them they are very busy lots of customers Parking: Their in a shopping center lots of parking available

BEWARE THIS PLACE IS TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE.. The remode did nothing for this place. It was so much better before. My boyfriend has food allergies to fish and a severe allergy to shell fish. All the buffet tables are mixed with non seafood related items. If you want chicken right next to it is some sort of seafood. Not to mention the salad bar is lacking and the general tso chicken was tough and you can tell it had been sitting awhile. I gave my boyfriend a bite to let him taste it and I took another bite and I told, Oh my God it tastes like crab. Minutes later he was sick. I grabbed a "manger" and let her know they should separate the non seafood and the seafood items or if not put dividers up. She argued with me saying all buffets are like that. Uh, no they are not. They took his meal off and then had the audacity to say, just go home and drink water. OMG now they are trying to be doctors. I will be calling the health department on Monday. They have no signs for allergy risk and they really should have the buffet set up where it's safe for all.

Fast, easy, variety of food, quality was as expected. When you don't feel like cooking and the kids are hungry, this restaurant will not disappoint.Kid-friendliness: Awesome selection for kids..... Parking: Parking lot is conviently adjacent to the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accesibity... handicapped parking is next to front entrance.

Way over priced for a low grade buffet. One and done. Service is ok at best, The food is mislabeled, and warm at best. They do have a lot to choose from and sorta keep it stocked. They don't really clean to well after customers, and I almost left after seen little kids trying to get food, for it to fall off their plate, off their hands and back into the food. Totally unsanitary.

I have been seeing a lot that they remodeled and that the food is great. I can say I was beyond impressed! The food was INCREDIBLE. It’s flavorful, fresh and great quality. The place itself was so clean and organized.My husband and I now LOVE this place and I hope it never changes!! Can’t wait to be a regular!
Welcome to a very complete and busy (quick food turnover) Asian buffet. Quick seating and lots of choices for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. If you prefer they have an hibachi grill working and will make to order also. And if you are into it they have a fresh sushi bar.

I as well zipped over here to try it out. Great opportunity for me to go test it without Mrs. Picky since she was busy doing something else today. As far as chineese Buffet goes its one up on my list now. I would like to see more stir-fried vegetables in the options. I found the offerings to be plentiful and flavors to be right up Mrs. Picky,s ally. Think ill take her there soon.The only thing i noticed they had a bit of a hard time with was plates and sushi. It was so busy at one point you had to hunt for a plate. The gentleman making the sushi looked as if he was unable to keep up with the demand. I really wonder if they have sashimi.There was nothing that disappointed me that i tried. I will be going back. The meal was $17 Buffet & Drink. I say check it out see one of my plates below for further details.
