Visited around 7pm on a Thursday evening and was terribly disappointed. Soup station was broken so there was no soup. A few sad, non-fresh pieces of sushi were left. Almost nothing on the buffet was hot- spare ribs, chicken, fried rice, seafood, all lukewarm or cold. The seafood didn’t taste fresh at all. The coconut shrimp just tasted like shrimp in sweet mayonnaise. Shellfish was dried out and tasteless. Dessert only consisted of two cakes, the ice cream machine, and some canned fruit. We went to the buffet only once, took a few bites of the nearly-inedible food and then asked for the check. Neither the waitress or hostess who sat us and rang us up seemed to care that we had been in the restaurant only 10 minutes before leaving, they didn’t even ask if everything was ok. Not wanting an argument, we paid the bill and left— almost $50 for only two people who had only a few bites of food. Never again.

Went there with family. A little disappointed. Overall good food, a lot of sea food. We went before closing, food was almost gone. They offered to check food first before staying. Not much salad, but plenty of shrimp, sushi bar, desert and ice cream. Some food was not really fresh, looks like they keep left overs for the next day. But what was fresh was good. I asked for hot tea, they brought discolored water with something floating in it. It was disappointing, it was 1hour before closing, so they didn't bother to make fresh tea. In other places like this tea is the best. $23 is a little overcharging for the food that is half fresh. Anyway you can try it for yourself, maybe you will be lucky.

Buffet with variety of American and Chinese food. Unlimited quantities, including seafood, many soups, Chinese and American vegetables. Food is mediocre but consistent and always the right temperature and texture. A bit weak in condiments: only two salad dressings, no mustard (American or Chinese), no scallions for soup. Wait staff will refill water or other beverages, but only when asked. Relaxed atmosphere, no one rushes you out.

Very clean buffet compared to other ones in the area. Definitely to before 4 to get the morning price, the lunch price is definitely not worth it. Bathrooms are clean, inside is very large and spacious. Ice cream machine is a big plus. Don’t listen to other reviews talking about how the place is dirty and the food is bad, it really isn’t at all. Those people just expect Gordon Ramsey food quality at a fast food buffet, bunch of entitled yelp reviewing sissies.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW! It was my favorite place! But one day i went to restroom and when i clean my hands i seen the some guy went to restroom and go out and dont clean his hands. I had suspicion that this is one of the workers. I follow him. This was guy who making a sushi!!! Guy who making a sushi do not clean hand after restroom! Incredible! Will never visit that place again. UPDATE: i decided to give this place second chance, i believe sushi guy was replaced.
