I suppose I understand why diners must pay first given that it is a college town and there's dine-n-dash stuff that goes on, but it still feels weird to pay up-front at a sit down restaurant with table service. Also, the cashier tries to get you to tip when you pay...before the table service...and looks at you disapprovingly when you don't (I left cash on the table for the server). I don't know what, if any, splitting of the tips goes on, but you'd think the cashier was getting a cut of the tips as uncomfortable as he tries to make you feel about it.Otherwise, the food and service were excellent. The buffet has a wide selection to choose from (both hot and cold).

My family took me here for my birthday. All of the employees were very nice. The restaurant had like a family feel to it. My grandchildren loved it and wants to go back again.

Not worth the price. The smell from outside of the building was very off-putting and the food inside was just the same. From the first bite, I regretted just spending $18 for food that just wasn't good. I could not finish anything on my plate and after trying what I had got, I no longer had the appetite to try anything else. Manage refused a refund because "she didn't see my plate" (because my table had already been cleared off). Giving 3 stars for the service because the waitress was attentive and vouched that I had barely touched the one plate I got (still not enough evidence for the manager apparently). Was really bummed because I had heard great things but know now that there is not a single thing I would return for.

Rude waitress cussed at me and my friends and threatened to kick us out if we didn’t pay a gratuity on our party of 5. She took one of my friends phone, wallet and, keys.

Easily the best chinese buffet in the area. Restaurant is always busy and the food is very fresh. The crab rangoon is the best.Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of room for kids and larger groups.
