The food here is pretty good with a large variety of options. I personally liked the Rice Noodles and Chicken Balls.It is pretty crowded though during the busy hours and is a little difficult to walk around at times. It can also get pretty loud with rambunctious tots. (Kudos to the wait staff being patient and careful around two tots running around and playing while their family just stayed at the table.)Only complaint that I really have is that I arrived at 2:26 pm (double checked when I got there) and I was charged for dinner price. 3pm = $16-17. To me it wasn't really worth it, but I still enjoyed the food and service.

What you expect for a buffet all you can eat. The food wasn't horrible but none of it was great. It's what you would expect. It was at least very clean and the staff are very friendly.Parking: Kind of a goofy parking lot

Just have to say I like this place a lot but overall the business is looking tired. Some mess, some food not presented as neatly as it would be for the picture..

Food selection is good, seems fairly standard for a Chinese buffet. Also includes Mongolian grill and sushi, though I focus on the Chinese food myself. The sushi I have had is good, I usually get a few pieces to try and grow my appreciation of it.Service is standard as well, brought to a table quickly and the staff are very quick with refilling drinks. Buffet and food staff are quick to prepare and refill empty sections as well.Not too loud, enough walls and dividers to help minimize sound without feeling walled off or packed in tight. They do have TV's, showing sports for the most recent visit. Generally appropriate viewing based on each of my visits in the past as well.For a Chinese buffet there isn't much I can think of being improved aside from updated labels for the buffet foods.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of high chairs, and the staff are quick to rearrange tables and seats to accommodate this. Open space and easy to keep an eye on things as needed.

One of my favorite places in the whole valley to eat. Sushi bar is great. I think the Mongolian barbecue is the finest in the whole valley. All the food on the line is fresh and hot. The desserts are very good with strawberry marshmallow and chocolate fountain, along with hard ice cream and soft ice cream. Bathrooms are monitored and clean and very recently priced at $15 for dinner.. drinks are extra but for the price there is no complaints!

Food selection is the largest in the area. Quality is really good for the pre-made. Great for the Mongolian grill, and the sushi selection and preparation is good

Exactly what you want from a Chinese buffet.Went for my dad's birthday, and we were impressed by the service and variety. They had people manning the Mongolian grill, and the ingredients looked fresh. We picked from the main entrees and desserts.It was crowded, even at 11:30 when we went, so plan accordingly.

The buffet is large, has lots of options and is always fresh. There is also a sushi bar with plenty of options and for $16, it's hard to pass up AYCE sushi. There is always plenty of staffing and they're quick to refill water, clear plates and give your check once you've grabbed dessert.

Food was excellent like always. Need more room for people to walk and get food. It's hard to walk between other people when tables are too close together. Not everyone is thin.Parking: It's a big parking lot but lots of people go there. Sometimes it's hard to find a parking spot.

All 5 stars but keep in mind it is based on a $16.95 self serve dinner buffet. The waiter (me) seemed to be able to read my mind as he went to the buffet and only picked the items I liked. If those items met or exceeded expectations, he would go up and get those again. The atmosphere there was very authentic since the server was the only person that appeared to speak English.

Ask for receipt once done because they’ll tip themselves extra
