First of all, I was charged for two extra sides of coleslaw and got home and only one. Lesson learned, always check the entire order before leaving. It's expensive enough as it is (Along with everything else, I get it.) But even more so to take care of the people who are spending the money at your restaurant. The chicken was mid. Sort of dry & looked like it had been sitting there for a while, I looked and actually hoped they didn't take from there but they did. My daughter thought the mashed potatoes tasted "off". I told her and she agreed definitely not enough gravy. Would've been nice to have that separate. Do better, plz. Money is tight for everyone, maybe try to go the extra mile for the ones who are willing to spend. Won't happen again here.

The food was great! Made 2 meals out of this. Will eat there again. Fast and hot. Great service.read more

Three restaurants share a lobby/hostess. I honestly wasn't sure I was walking into the right place, but it's a minor thing (if you know about it). Now for the bad: like I said the food is excellent, no complaints there. But I was more than a bit surprised to see on my bill that I was being charged for mixers!! A double Captain & Coke: $8 for the rum, $0.50 for the coke?!?! Really? The $8 for 2 oz of rum doesn't cover the couple of cents worth of soda? On the menu you can order a side salad as one of your sides, but if you want extra dressing? That's $0.75. This is too nice of a restaurant to be nickel and diming your customers.

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much from Chinese food in the middle of Iowa. Actually, the…read morequality is pretty solid across the board. I tried probably about half the things in the buffet (and there is a ridiculous variety) and there was not a single thing I tried that was actually bad. I would skip the onion rings but I can't even call it bad since it's still better than burger king's. The variety is pretty crazy so it would be impossible to detail everything. There's a solid selection of both Chinese and American food, along with a Mongolian BBQ section where you can build your own Lo Mein plate. The desert section is kinda wild, lots of fruits, jello, cakes, pudding, and ice cream cups. The restaurant goes kinda crazy with the front lobby decoration. There's a Koi pond! It's a buffet so I'm not sure what to comment on the service, but I didn't have any complaints. Nothing on the menu was particularly outstanding to me, but that variety with consistently solid quality and rock-bottom prices (like $15 for an Adult, but my sense of pricing may be a bit off from being from SF Bay Area) is absolutely wild.

I love all of the fresh ingredients as well as the different variety of sauces. All of the ingredients were quite fresh and stocked well. The desserts are just premade frozen options, but they're still good! Service: Our waiter was Hunter, and he was amazing!!! He was very attentive and polite. He was very informative as well and quite patient. He had even waited until I was done chewing my bite of food before coming over and asking how everything was going, and you know that's a HUGE plus! Everyone cooking the food was fast and efficient. They all smiled anytime you'd make eye contact, and they made sure to keep all orders separate. Ambiance: The food area was kept clean and organized. There's plenty of room inside for large groups or a small table, and it isn't too loud. Thankfully, they have adequate ventilation, so any of the cooking fumes/smoke goes straight outside and doesn't bother anyone inside. It's kept clean as well. Plus, it smells amazing!

We ordered orange chicken, sesame chicken, chicken with green beans, 8pc crab rangoon, 4pc teriyaki chicken, bar-b-q spare ribs, chicken lo mein, and a side of sweet and sour sauce. For starters, the teriyaki chicken is my new favorite lol. It's not dry or overcooked and it's cooked thoroughly. The bar-b-q spare ribs are super tender and smothered in sauce; so good! We were pleasantly surprised with the orange chicken as well. It's not overly in your face orange flavored nor is it too sweet. The sesame chicken is also really well flavored. The noodles in the lo mein were firm and soft at the same time with great flavor. The chicken in it was tender and thankfully, the noodles weren't overloaded with veggies. Honestly, I'm not big on crab rangoon, but these are good! They're filled to the brim and really creamy. Chicken with green beans exceeded my expectations and it will definitely be on my "always order" list lol. Portion sizes were more than I expected as well. They really pack the to-go containers and the meat itself is good, large chunks. I can't wait to try more of the menu! Service: We were promptly greeted when we walked in and the wait time was minimal. The staff was pleasant and greeted us with a smile as well. While ordering online, it was a bit of a pain and it tells you to add a tip before checkout, which was almost not an option to opt out if you wanted to. Our order was correct and done quickly, even though they were busy. Ambiance: It's not the biggest inside, but that didn't stop others from dining in. It was packed for dinner rush and smelled amazing. Overall, it was kept clean, no debris or old food on the floor or tables. The menu is large and easy to navigate. While it was full, it wasn't uncomfortable; not elbow to elbow.

Did an order ahead that said it would be ready in 30 min. Showed up 40 minutes later wasn't ready. They were decently busy so I was fine waiting longer. Then they forgot I was waiting for a pickup and tried to serve us in house. Seemed like very nice people just didn't have a good set up for when it's busier. Got our food after about an hour and 15 min after ordering. Other people were there for close to 2. pepper chicken was the best- rice that it came with was cooked perfectly. Wontons were decent. The spring roll was soggy and the gyoza was a little dry. The reviews kept showing a dumpling sauce that people used for the gyoza which I asked for but they didn't give me any and I think the sauce would've made it better
