Omg, totally awesome food selection. I love Asian food and this is simply the best place for anything you might desire in Asian cuisine. My new favorite go to place for lunch or dinner when I don't want to cook. Great price too. Oh, and the very friendly staff tops off the establishment.

Excellent Chinese buffet!!!Has a huge assortment of food to choose from. While everyone is going to the warming trays to get food l am going to the Mongolian grill. What l love about it everything is fresh. There is chicken, beef and pork to choose from.Everything is raw to start out with kept on ice and sanitary which is important, especially in our day and age. You can put everything on a plate of noodles along with your choice of veggies and sauces. Then you pass it over to the cook who grills it to perfection.I have never been disappointed. I could write page's of everything to choose from. I highly recommend trying it out. Lunch is cheaper than dinner and the wait staff is friendly and attentive to your needs. Please don't forget to tip the wait staff and Mongolian grill cook. Even though it is a buffet alot goes into making the experience a great one.

This was a horrible all around experience, got there at 8:30, maybe 12 tables in use got to the food area and the food runner was using the rag he cleaned the floor with 10 seconds earlier to clean the utensil for the green beans and play CC e in the food, 10 minutes later 7 options for items ok, get be crawfish, cold roast chicken and clams, 5 minutes later manager says are you done with going to get more food I say nothing cause no chance to before he left, then waiter was sweeping the floor right next to me, yuck, oh yeah the bill showed up $14.99 each for the premier buffet charge ex. When buffets serve crab or something on certain days and cost reflects that. I didn't even have time to talk to a manager or anything to have them adjust my cost of the meal if the owner sees this please contact me I'm very unhappy I will be disputing the cost of with my bank. Thank you

First time. My family enjoyed our lunch. Clean bathrooms. Sushi selection could be better.

There is nothing super special about this particular Chinese buffet. It is however always clean and the staff are pleasant and very attentive. The selection is decently broad but not too much. The food is pretty tasty but nothing to gush about. If you're looking for a quick bite or for something to take to the hotel room, you could do worse, easily.

They had various options of food like vanilla ice cream, sushi, and many other traditional Asian food. Personally my most favorite dish that I served there was the vanilla ice cream. I just can't describe the texture and the taste, it was just marvelous. I wish I could go to that Buffet King everyday to eat vanilla ice cream honestly. I serve myself a Whole Bowl/ plate of ice cream. I recommend taking the ice cream with because it doesn't melt very fast. Although taking food with you to your household costs a bit extra. The customer service was good. There were no misunderstandings from the limited-english talking workers.

I was extremely surprised with this restaurant! The reviews are very discouraging but I'm glad I like to give them a chance! We went on a Friday night and it was sure busy! There's a lot of options and all the food was super fresh! I did not try the seafood for I am used to eating from the gulf coast. The service is super good! Waiters are walking around the restaurant at all time not giving you time to run out of drink. Will definitely be going again!

Of all the buffet restaurants in the area this is by far the worse representation of Asian food ever. The only reason for one star is the stir fry made fresh. The other food from the wontons to the weird looking noodles to the egg rolls to many other items were either dry, under cooked or aged. The wontons after one bite tasted aged and sour. The pork does not taste like pork. The Chicken is dry and over cooked with attempts to cover it with spice. The cleanliness of the restaurant is also not very welcoming. Floors and carpets are dated, tables are not cleaned and the restrooms are dirty from the dryers to the floors. After consuming food from this place less than 10 minutes after leaving I developed a reaction of some sort that required immediate allergic meds. Mind you I have no food allergies of any kind to date. My recommendation to consumers, seek your meal else where as the price and service is not worth the time or stomach issues following consumption of food here. As for the owners, cooks and staff, please re-evaluate your service and menu. The food should be a representation of your true culture and heritage, be proud of it and create meals are pleasing made with heart and passion. What is being made now, is none of that.

Low availability for seafood on lunch buffet. But basically good. Regular buffet choices for Chinese but also has pizza American style bbq ribs, chicken nuggets and french fries etc...always a favorite stop for us when we're in ABQ.

Good service. It was 7:30 pm food was less then warm and not much to choose from. For 18.00 dollars a piece it should be well stocked and warm.

Always clean, servers are nice!! Their hot tea is so good too, and everything on the buffet was fresh and warm. Except the sushi, which was fresh and cold ?

Best buffet in the NE! They seat you quickly and have fresh entrees coming out the entire time. Definitely recommend.

Dustin Miller

Super good food and high quality for a chineese buffet, they also have Mongolian BBQ and sushi. If you get there at 11 when they open you can enjoy everything freshly served just a lil tip

I really like this place! The food, service, atmosphere is great. in regards to food, it ranges from lo mein all the way to the meats including crawfish. I feel like this has to be one of the best buffets in Albuquerque. The food has always tasted fresh every time I come here. I will definitely come here again!

Good food had a good selection of food including a sushi bar and Mongolian bbq choose your own ingredients to suit your tastes however the desserts could be better the almond cookies I love tasted a bit cheep not many fresh fruit options not many pastries but plenty of jello would definitely go back for the food but not the desserts XOXO❤?????
