    I have eaten here since the restaurant has opened, I believe in 2018. It used to be a Goodwill Thrift Store. The food selections are many. Asian ad well as American. Lots of seafood's to choose from. Octopus, shrimp, coca butter, in shell, no shell, steamed, butterfly, crayfish, clams, mussels, imitation crab, and crab legs, fish, calimari, and more. Broccoli steak, mushrooms, chicken, pizza, toasted breads, soups, Always great prices, great food, great service, great atmosphere! I absolutely love it here! And so will you too!

    I came in for lunch with already modest expectations -- after all, it's a Chinese buffet. Unfortunately, this place somehow managed to fall below even those low standards. Amazing. One staff member was more focused on rearranging the five remaining pieces of cold chicken skewers than actually refilling the trays. The same went for the wings and several other items -- clearly left sitting too long and barely warm. The sushi section was particularly concerning: mostly empty, with lukewarm pieces that looked like they'd been out far too long. Definitely not something you want to gamble on. Freshness, what's that? Not up in here for lunch. There are other buffets somewhat nearby that don't serve trash for Lunch. Eat at your own risk on any day besides the weekend, probably.

    Food was decent service was good and the prices are worth it nice owner always in the front when serving i believe

    My family and I decided to give it a try to this place and honestly - I want to say is a good place . We didn't know but we came in the perfect time for dinnner. We were able to get Mariscos ;) . The only thing is that They have certain times and prices for lunch and dinner . If you go for lunch there are some food you can't have . If you like Mariscos is best for you to go for dinner !!. Is a big place so waiting time is nothing. Pretty decent place not loud .

    It's been a long time since I've been to a Chinese buffet. I came here around 2pm on a weekday and the price was $15.99. This place has a huge sitting area. It's very clean and spacious. They have a good selection of food. My favorite would be their Szechuan spicy fish and tofu dish. That taste is on point. I also enjoyed their broccoli dishes, chicken skewer, shrimps, ice cream, and Mongolian bbq. For the price, it's pretty good deal. They also have sushi,pizza, salad, and other desserts like cakes and cream puff. I tried one piece sushi which I thought was egg inside but turn out to be cheese. That wasn't good to me. The cakes were too dry, but they have a good selection of ice cream including green tea and coffee. They offer more seafood during the weekend. Service was good. The host was friendly and the staff was constantly clearing our table and checking in on us. I'll be back when I crave Chinese buffet or can't figure out what to eat.

    Just like any other buffet place, same food same desserts and same ambiance. Eat until you drop. Now what stands out is your drinks. The customer service they give you when your drinks are empty. In this case, the buffet restaurant was close to empty. Around 2pmsh. Our server did not deliver. Kept reminding him to fill up our drink refills. Now this is what stands out from every buffet. This is not the case. From experience only, maybe our server had a bad day. Just Ok.

    Some of their foods were rotten!!!

    -0 rating Food was TERRIBLE !! The noodles were dry, the chicken had a HUMAN HAIR, there were FLIES on the food. Never coming here again !! Only go if you like bottom of the barrel, Chinese food

    Delicious, but too expensive for what it is. It's a hit or miss here, sometimes there's flies around, other times it's nice and clean.

    Coming from church as El Nino rains start we took a trip to Downey Landing off Lakewood blvd…read more We were going to go Hawaiian but this place caught my eye. Looks in the window a tipical Chinese lil buffet like P Ex. Butvery wrong. The food looks fresh and great as you walk up. And counter staff truly friendly and prompt. Food selections are somewhat typical except instead of chow main and rice they also have a vegetable base as well. Prices are standard you have the one two or three combo also have shrimp special combo 3 flavor noodle soup shrimp with lobster sauce and have family feast and prices are nice. They do catering as well. My wife got mushrooms chicken and orange chicken with chow main. Orange chicken is very good Mushrooms chicken is bomb I got pineapple chicken teriyaki chicken and BBQ pork. Love this teriyaki chicken is bomb love how it's grilled and then mixed with a teriyaki sauce with a ting of sweetness. Pineapple chicken is fresh with a sauce that give you thank mmm I want more. The bbq chicken is great with good flavor not over bearing like some. I like the options of a vegetable base is really good Customer service is on the ball. And this place is busy seating is good can be 2 to 4 or even 10 if you put the tables together. Can soda or fountain drinks and they sell a chili sauce hmm. I met that had been at this establishment for many years so this place good vibes Atmosphere is conversation among each other they have 1 TV with a show streaming. I also noticed they have a bowl option you will see on the above counter when ordering Customer service = 9 Food = 8 Cleanliness = 8 Food freshness = 8 Price to product = 8 I will return definitely

    Kaowok - Downey, CA…read more I ordered the 2-item combo with steamed rice and chow mein, choosing orange chicken and BBQ pork as my main dishes. The portions were generous and packed with meat, which was definitely a plus. Unfortunately, the flavor was just average for me. I'd rather have a smaller portion with really great flavor than a large quantity that doesn't stand out. Overall, I wasn't impressed enough to come back. The food wasn't bad, but it just wasn't that great. I'd choose another spot next time.

    George doesn't want to go out these days. He says "Oh to be eighty again."…read moreHe wanted Chinese food so I yelped it (using a noun as a verb like the kids do) an spied a 4.5-star place in Norwalk. I said "Ho Ho" trying to sound like Santa Clause, and my wife replied "That's where Tracy and I used to go," ignoring my brilliant entendre. I drove there and ordered what I was told to order. The lady running the counter was fast and efficient, juggling several walk-in customers as well as those who were seated with speed and aplomb. Not Disney-nice, but Asian-efficient. As I waited the ten minutes or so she'd told me it would take, I spied the cans of soft drinks in the cooler and stood up to grab some cash from my wallet. Before I could, the lady brought me a can of Mountain Dew, badged "American Dee" for our country's recent big birthday, and gave it to me *gratis*. That was really nice of her. The portions were more than enough with two main items and pork fried rice, family style. There was plenty of rice left over for George and I had the rest of the Kung Pau beef a few days later. Oh, it listed as being spicy but it really wasn't since I picked past the red peppers. I think it was the Kung Pau. It was good both times.

    Throwback to when dine-in Chinese food was king!…read more There's something special about walking into a place that reminds you of childhood, and this spot absolutely delivers. The service is consistently exceptional, but what keeps bringing me back are the generous family portions, quality food, and incredible value. For a date night, we ordered: Family Orange Chicken Family Beef & Broccoli Fried Rice Steamed Rice 1 Egg Roll 2 Fried Shrimp Hot Tea 2 Sprites Total: $33. With the cost of everything going up these days, finding a place where you can enjoy a great meal, leave satisfied, and not feel like you just emptied your wallet is becoming increasingly rare. And the portions? Huge. We actually had enough left over for lunch the next day, which makes that $33 feel like an even better deal. For me, this is what good neighborhood Chinese food should be: great service, generous portions, quality food, reasonable prices, and that nostalgic feeling that takes you right back to being a kid. Absolutely love this place. We'll definitely be back!

    I really like this Chinese food place. They have good portions…read more The chow mein tastes well seasoned and doesn't taste like chemicals like other places nearby. The fried rice is fresh, unlike the other place where its texture and taste was that of two day old left overs. We love their broccoli beef and orange chicken as well. I also like to get the cream cheese wontons but it's disappointing when they forget to include the sweet and sour sauce with it. I think I'll be skipping that add on bc they never seem to include it anymore. Hence the 4/5 stars.
