This is my first review but not my first time. I love this place! I came for a work party so I didn't take as many pictures nor eat as much as I wanted. The prices have gone up unfortunately but that's inflation! Their sushi station is the best I've had at any buffets. They have so many selections and their sushi is fresh. They have a good selection of veggies, salad and Mongolian stir fry. Their desserts are the standard buffet desserts, cakes, almond cookies, ice cream, pineapple cake. They are always packed. They are doing well and that keeps the food moving and fresh.

Went for the lunch special which was a $41.00 tab for 2 adults was greeted and seated right away. The servers were friendly and attentive which is always a plus in a busy place my cup was always full place was clean and neat not like most buffets I've been to in the past The sushi was a chefs kiss to the crispy crunchy fried chicken fall off the bone no complaints there. Also to the octopus which was to die for that it almost made me ink from excitement. The ice cream was a little melted out of the machine but that's always expected, But still good The full shrimps with the shell was a struggle and I was over it before I could sink my teeth Into it and enjoy. The fries were crispy and good and this cucumber salad they had with jalapeños was also really good. Now on to the reason for 4 stars and not a 5 banger is because as I was about to indulge in my cream cheese wonton there was piece of metal from the scrubber sponge in my food thankfully I caught it before it caught me. I told the chef and he immediately took the food back from the buffet and made a fresh batch. Which is also another reason for the 4 stars and nothing less. I will definitely be back but with further inspection of my food before I end up in the Er. I was the second guest and my experience was different. When I sat down the server gave me my soda and I said thank you and like always the server never talks. Food was alright, but I will go back as a I had to roll myself out from the food coma.

They say if you've been to every AYCE Chinese buffet, you've been to them all. A grain of truth in that since there are a lot of commonalities that you see in them - common dishes like chicken wings, that saucy beef thing, General Tso's chicken, etc. etc. Not to mention that it's probably an open secret that the vast majority of restaurants in America, especially buffets, source their raw materials from the same place (the beauty of Sysco). Yet, several things stand out here. First, the foot traffic is always good (figurative, everyone drives here) and so the food is typically switched in and out at a pretty good rate - it's usually reasonably hot and fresh, which is one of the major determinants of food quality at a buffet like this (since everyone really sources the same ingredients). Second, they actually have a lot of unique dishes, like kim-chi style mini octopuses, a full sushi bar (with perfectly serviceable sushi, which is actually pretty impressive given the low cost and AYCE nature), and their own all-you-can-eat Mongolian BBQ. All of these are fantastic and really lets you spice up your meal. My parents make sure to eat a meal here basically literally every time they're in town, which is probably a good sign given that they grew up in China. Value of course, is excellent. Only downside I'd say is that the fountain drink is in the back, so you need to flag down a waiter in order to get a refill, which is usually slower than just getting a refill yourself. Overall, if you're looking for an AYCE Chinese buffet, this is definitely one of the best options in the region. It comes highly recommended for its value and diversity in food.
