It's a Buffet, it's not the Ritz but it is one of the best Buffets around, even ice cream for desert. Like the good ole days. No Dungeness for lunch though and I don't know but doubt they have them for dinner either.

Food is great but don't expect to get a refill or anything cleared prior to the time they are expecting you to be done because you won't unless you go find them yourself and call them over??‍♀️

The food is fresh, and I usually do the take-out by the pound. I get a little bit of everything and eat at home at my leisure. Excellent variety of food at lunch and dinner they add even more different kinds of food for just a few dollars more than at lunch! I'm never disappointed!

This Chinese buffet is a hidden gem! With its wallet-friendly prices, spotless ambiance, and top-notch service, it's a feast fit for emperors. Just be careful not to overeat; they might have to roll you out like a dumpling!

Decent amount of parking spaces, but the restaurant can get busy and the parking lot can get crowded. Service is okay, but the staff could be friendlier, especially staff coming to and from the kitchen. I understand if someone does not speak english, but at least show a smile here and there. I feel like they want me to eat, tip, and get out. Food can be hit or miss. Just take a good look before you put it on your plate and give it a good stir before scooping so it is hot. I like that they serve mixed drinks and wine.

I've been visiting this restaurant for years, I've always had the same problem, but I was really upset on my last visit and so I decided to do a review. First, I don't understand why you should put the information about the end time of lunch at 3:30pm and the start of dinner also at 3:30pm. In other words, this information can have two interpretations, if I sit at the table and start eating at 3:28pm, should you charge me for lunch or dinner? I believe that the correct option would be for lunch to end at 3pm and whoever arrived after this time would automatically be paying for dinner which would start then, at 3:30pm, it would be clearer this way, as this happened to me, I arrived before 3:30pm and you charged me for dinner. To complete my disappointment with this establishment, it was the service, and it's even funny to write this, but when I had finished eating my first dish and was getting up to get the second, the attendant came handing over the order, demanding that I have finished, I just took the order and continued eating, but I was very uncomfortable because the waitress kept passing by and waiting all the time for payment, this irritated me because the tables around me had been in the restaurant longer than me, and she wasn't making any this with none of them, only with me. My glass was empty, at no point was she available to fill it, so I paid by card and didn't tip, this attendant embarrassed me in front of all the customers, shouting at me that she wanted her tip, that I had What to give and she kept pointing at the paper, forcing me, I gave a low tip amount, then she left the table upset and screaming. Well, I've never experienced this before, I go to this restaurant a few times because I think the food is good and it's relatively close to my house, but next time I'll remember this absurd thing that happened to me and I'm definitely not going back, you guys need to improve the service, forcing customers to leave after 15 minutes after they start eating is ridiculous, please leave customers at ease and the result will be good tips.

I brought all empty plates that we finished eating on to the busing tubs, to make it easier for lady waitress. I assume she is probably under paid, so just wanted her to be appreciated. I couldn't afford tipping her, so figured removing dirty plates was a way to do this. As she came over to give us bill, she hovered over the credit card slip, watching my son fill it out. When he was done, she says, "what, no tip?" Very rude, and I even had to put my hand over the bill while my son filled out tip so she wouldn't look. Boy, did she try!!

Always trying to make you tip even when your server isn't the one helping you and then charging you extra if you don't finish what's on your plate

Have been coming here for many years, mostly the food is pretty good, the egg rolls are pretty hard and dry, also someone needs to calm down with the salt on the potatoes . They might want to invest in a water filter, the water tastes funny as do all their soft drinks and maybe more attention to the bathrooms as well.
