This place doesn't quite have as many buffet tables as Mama Garden to the west of it, but it does have some mighty tasty fare and it's cheaper. It also has egg fu yung, which I adore, and seaweed salad at the sushi bar, which I also really like. Plus it has baked egg custard cups which are amazing - I'd never had them before. And it also has clams and mussels and coconut shrimp and General Tso's Chicken and the other things you've come to expect from a Chinese buffet. The wait staff is very good, and I enjoyed the dining experience very much. I believe it's a full $5 less per person than Mama Garden. And that's always a plus! I'll be eating here again.

Before you leave make sure to keep your receipt. A man that work there accused me of trying to leave without paying. When I first arrived, I asked a lady if they accepted debit/credit. She said yes would you like to pay now? I said sure! I was there with my three daughters ages 10,9, and 7. At first she rang them up as adults. This was my first visit so I assumed they didn't have a separate price for children. Then I guess she took a better look at them and asked me their ages. It brought the price down $10+. The food was okay. The booths are kind small. As we were leaving and chatting. A man stopped me like hey! You needed to pay! I told him that I already paid the lady and what the total was. He didn't believe me. Didn't ask the lady or anything. Thank goodness I had my receipt balled up in my hand. It had gotten wet. I'm thinking to myself I paid when I came in so what is he even talking about. Most buffets you pay before you eat right? But now I'm thinking that when I came in with my family that they assume me and my three kids were going to skip out on the check so they had me pay before and everyone else after. It didn't feel like a misunderstanding. I know they don't care but I will not be back.

A group of 9 and didn't have any problems sitting together. Food service gloves provided for the buffet. The food had flavor and kept hot. The staff didn't appear to be concerned about the plates stacking up on almost every table and forget asking for something extra. I didn't see the price posted anywhere and didn't know the drinks were extra until going to the cashier. The women's restroom was a mess. We all agreed that we wouldn't come back.

After being seated within a few feet (less than 6) from the ice cream, we had a big come out into the table. We notified the server who proceeded to smash the bug on the table and tell us it wasn't a big deal. After they had a little conference about what to do , the lady came back offering a discount . We refused to pay and promptly left . The family behind us who had just played food also overheard what was happening and left at the same time . Health dept will be notified . This is gross .

Out of all the places I could have ordered from tonight, I ordered from here because I had just ordered about 6 days ago. prior.. However, my sides are delicious my main course keeps being not so desirable.. Not to mention, I advised them of a plus about their restaurant and they took it away. It was about special instructions. Seems like I care more for the sides than the MAIN course with this place. Second time I've tried it. I'll think about ordering from them next time!

They're closed to the public but they're accepting online orders. Service is always friendly and food is always good.

Only place I have ever been that has real Japanese fried rice at the buffet ONLY.Order from the kitchen is terrible fried rice.I grew up in Japan and their buffet fried rice is the only authentic one I've had in a few decades!

My kids dad ordered chicken and it’s grey, stringy, gamey and gross. He called cause he wanted to make sure it’s chicken and they don’t want him to test the meat

I loved this place! They did what they had to do. I'm a college student so I always come back home and straight here. Their sushi is amazing and their staff is friendly. You gotta eat here and tip well!

The food is actually very tasty. It has the same offerings like most Chinese buffets but they seemed tastier. The variety is good and more than it seemed at first glance. The servers couldn't be nicer. You're not paying for ambiance at this place. If you can get beyond the well-used booth seats, the food is good and 30% less than most chinese buffets.

Nice people, good food, decent price. Would pay more if they would add crab legs like most other buffets... oh and please buy some 5 cent cones for your ice cream!! Kids love them too

Took my brother here tonight for his birthday and we both loved it. Staff was very prompt and nice. Food was hot and fresh. Sushi bar was fresh and delicious. Crab Rangoon was the best I have had, they use the thin wraps. Hot and sour soup was very good. The one thing I could criticize is that the general tso's chicken was over cooked and tough. But who cares, they had a lot to choose from. For $10 a person. ?
