Food was okay-to-bad quality. Didn't taste right. Sweets had a bad after taste. Shrimp not deveined and weird. I don't like eating animals excrement. Ice cream so old lids stuck to them.Bathroom in Men's room has signs up saying not to flush toilet paper. Trash cans of soiled TP with human waste in mens room. Toilets loose from floor. Made me sick. Threw up twice. Once in restaurant bathroom and after I left. Health department needs to visit.

So first and foremost they have a grade of 76 which is a C. They're 6 points away from being closed down, let that sink in. Not to mention that I felt the sign was not in plain view. You walk right in and are greeted and the sign is to the left at checkout. Wouldn't have eaten here had we seen the grade. Wish we would've read reviews before hand. The food was bad takeout at best. The spring roll was filled with God knows what but it looked like a hard liver pate and tasted off. The roasted chicken would've been better marked as duck because the taste was undesirable. Sweet and sour chicken was almost like a donut with so much breading and dense. The green beans were cold. The hibachi grill was closed which was disappointing because I would've been happier watching my food be cooked after seeing the 76. We both went back twice but our plates looked like we hadn't touched much. We left hungry because the food all lacked flavor or just didn't taste right. The bathroom has signs up saying no toilet paper in the toilet. So literally toilet paper with feces right next to you when you're using the restroom. The service was fine and the remodel is nice. I just felt like the C shouldn't have been hidden so we only saw it as we paid. Not right to the patrons and letting us decide. I usually don't give 1 star reviews but unfortunately I feel it is deemed worthy of it.

I'm not sure what's new about it. The food was decent. But with a health rating of 76, I won't be going back

Went with a friend for lunch during this week. 97% of the meat dishes on the buffet are chicken. There was a beef broccoli stir fry, a baked salmon, a cold mussels, a steamed clam dish. They also had large steamed, head on shrimp, which I love, HOWEVER, they were overcooked and mushy. The salmon and clams were overcooked. The chicken dishes were either overcooked or dry from sitting under the heatlamp on the buffet without lids. There is only a few vegetable dishes. Most have broccoli, which I love BUT it was hard and undercooked. Won ton soup is my favorite when I go to an Asian restaurant. Here, the won tons were hard and dry from sitting in the steamer on the table with no liquid. Even after sitting in the broth at the table, they were still hard. I stopped by the sushi station. You get two varieties with avocado and cream cheese and one with fake crab meat. Boring but the Wasabi and pickled ginger was good, oddly. Finally, if you're looking for dessert here, just don't. What they had was hard and the ice cream which are individual Styrofoam cups was freezer burned. Ok, I only come here a couple times a year just to see if there is any improvement in the food quality, and no, there is not. I am a chef so I cook for a living, so when I say LEAVING FOOD ON A STEAM TABLE CONTINUES TO COOK IT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE temperature setting is jacked up high enough that you can get a facial just trying to spoon it onto your plate. They can at least cover it to retain some moisture. Two stars only because the unsweetened tea was good.

First and foremost, the “old” buffet had better food! The food is not good. The food is just ok enough to call it Chinese food. Now the bathrooms are something that needs attention, I mean, outside attention! I had to clean pee and other fluid off the seat. Lift up the seat to clean and it was green stuff and blood underneath, which easily washed off. Is it really sanitary for people not not flush and just throw soiled toilet tissue in the trash can.

Not the cleanest place and waitress never checked on us or really spoke. Sanitation grade is a low B. Wish I seen that before I ate. Most of the food was overcooked and unseasoned. Won't impressed.

If I ate seafood I would give another star. The seafood did seem fresh and plenty of it. The other food was not so good. And I picked out a Rice Crispie dessert that was luke a brick and you could stand on it.

The only hot food you gonna eat is straight off the hibachi grill...everything else is literally ice cold by the time you get to your table!! Dont waste your money like I did!! NEVER AGAIN!!

Good food, price was fair and service nice. Place seems to have had better days some years past but still, feeding a family of 5 for $50 is rare these days. Will definitely visit again!
The Food was old and cold! I got sick from this place. Never again and when I dropped my napkin on the floor I reached down to pick it up i noticed a bunch of hair attached to the napkin. I left it on the floor. The place is disgusting! The Health Department needs to take a close look at this place.

I don't know if I visited at a bad time, but most of the food was old, sitting out for a while. What I did eat wasn't bad, but I'm sure would have tasted better fresh. If I get the opportunity to visit again during my stay in the area, I will try during busier hours. Other than the food being a bit old, my visit was pleasant

Me and my husband grew up in Elizabeth city and both ate here as kids. We thought we’d give it a shot despite the bad rep it has achieved over the years. It was absolutely disgusting. Food looked awful and tasted even worse. Had to avoid 80% of the food to find some without flies on it. We left after our first plate about 15 minutes in. I have no clue how they’re even open in the state we saw it in. Needs to be shut down
