The fod is disgusting. Over cooked seafood, hard sliced potatoes, no Mongolian grill, the general tso is literally ketchup with what tastes like sweet n sour. I went to get ice cream and the cooler is froze over with nasty stuff froze into it. All the ice cream is empty, and there are very little cookies or other choices. You would think spending $15 per person on Sunday they would have at least a small selection.

Food was lukewarm warm, the chicken tasted stale like it was sitting there for hours. I don’t expect a lot from a buffet, but this might be the worst I’ve been too.

The food was just plain bad. The meat did not taste like meat. 5 of us went in and the ice cream and fresh fruit was the only palatable food.

The food is actually surprisingly decent, and priced approximately. There are quite a good number of choices, including a small sushi bar as well as a dessert bar. The atmosphere the day we went was a bit subdued, despite the colorful lighting and decorations. Small details at a buffet are exceedingly important, so the main sitting area was in need if a very deep cleaning. The mug I was served hot tea in had a cleaning solution aftertaste so strong I could not drink out of it. Several of the food items lacked signage (luckily most were recognizable). The manager on duty was typically stoic -- neither welcoming nor unfriendly, just distant. The 2 floor staff we interacted with were polite but spoke almost no English. Used dishes were cleaned off tables quickly. There was plenty of parking. We'll go back at least once more before adding (or eliminating) from our list of Chinese buffets. Honestly, with a bit of elbow grease and a course in how to have decent interpersonal skills, and I think this place could double or triple its revenue.

I absolutely love the atmosphere of this place, it’s like a cool back room vibe. And the staff is always nice. But the food is never good and we always leave regretting coming back. Seeing as how there’s no good Chinese buffet options in San Marcos we always go at least once a year hoping they made the food better but it’s usually just worse lol a few dishes were okay. The broccoli and chicken was okay and the honey chicken was pretty good. And surprisingly the sushi isn’t bad at all. But everything else is weird and stale or soggy or no flavor. Even the noodles are just not good and that’s my fav part of a Chinese buffet. Anyway, I’m still probably gonna come back next year and see if it’s gotten better cause I’m a fool.

Had dinner with friends last Wednesday.It was really bad! This restaurant is very dirty, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time! The floor was not swept at all!!!The waitress was acting weird. She basically sat near the fountain drinks and enjoyed the food instead of caring about the guests. But she brought us some crabs and shrimps and We didn’t need these.

Always hot food. Never have to wait. Drink refill depends on the server. But all and all. Still a good place to eat.

Coming into town and wanted to try something new…. I should’ve went with the reviews and passed this place up. When you first get out of your car it stinks so bad going into this restaurant. Floors are dirty and so is the restroom. Front desk gentleman is very rude. They make you pay before you eat and when I grabbed my first plate of food and sat down I realized there was a dead fly in my orange chicken and rice. I stood up didn’t eat anything and just left.I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. Beware folks. The reviews are true!!!! Don’t get sick.

The food is good. You can also order a la carte (they serve you things from the buffet but since it is less quantity it is less price). The place could be cleaner. Remember that if you order water with your buffet, they do not charge you for it, only the soft drink has an additional cost to the buffet.Parking: We didn't go during rush hour so there was plenty of room.Wheelchair accessibility: If possible
