Nothing special compared to an ordinary buffet. The crab legs are always quickly taken, although we managed to get quite a few. There was a decent selection of items, mostly classic fried foods and chicken. The fruits and desserts were quite nice compared to other buffets I've been to, but the sushi (mostly what I ate) was limited. Hibachi is available. The interior felt really old-fashioned, but the service was great nonetheless. The price is usually $16+ per person, but on weekends and Fridays, it goes up to $20+.
First time going there about a month ago. We walked in during Prime dinner hours so it was extremely busy. The buffet was enormous. They have a large salad section. They have a large desert section. They have a very good spread of pretty much anything you can think of. Now I have heart disease and diabetes, but I was very surprised and very happy with what I was able to eat because of the huge selection including a delicious very moist salmon spread. Fried zucchini was delicious. This was my "cheat night" so I sampled all the classics and specialties because they had it all! Most importantly, since I haven't had Chinese food or buffets like this in over 4 years, I felt absolutely fine and satisfied. Great Job! It was definitely one of the best buffet selections seen in quite some time. They also have a sushi bar and hibachi...which was quite impressive. I wasn't sure which sushi I wanted, so "sushi chef" asked what I wanted which was plain raw tuna and told me to come back in 10 minutes. I was presented with a whole plate of Sushi art. Because of the freshness of the food and the selection and the staff keeping everything fresh and clean throughout the restaurant, I will definitely return.
I liked the food here, the onion rings were good, and the egg rolls are AMAZING! I prefer putting soy sauce in the egg rolls to bring out the extra flavor. Also, there is no wait line. You can just come right in and pay!
Good ambience and service, and I'm always pleasantly surprised at how clean this place is. Black Pepper Chicken is DIVINE. I really like, prices are very nice too. Again, I'm all about hygiene and this place seems to have it, I haven't gotten sick here once and I've eaten at it pretty constantly over the past year or so.
