    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.

    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 .

    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

    Dirty restrooms

    I notice Everytime I come here my stomach gets me the runs and the restrooms are horrible and dirty they smell so bad they don't clean them. This is the last time I come here. The food is not even all that

    Food is not good. The services are horrible. I won't recommend it to anyone. I give two stars because they have food but that's it.

    This is one of our all time favorites. We get the char chicken, Orange chicken, Mushroom chicken,…read moreGreen bean chicken, mixed vegetables as a side if you get 2 items. Good chow mein! Our hands down favorite is the 3 flavor soup. It is awesome for cool weather, really anytime. Mushrooms, celery, broccoli, carrots, shrimp, chicken, and BBQ pork. Not tips and slices, and leftovers-nice sized chunks and pieces. This soup stands alone as a meal on it's own-and is filling. If you look at Pho restaurant prices, the 3 flavor soup is a better deal and a satisfying meal. April 2026 is chilly, get the soup, and be content, and full! If you try it once, I bet you'll have a new favorite. My wife loves it. I order no chow mein in the soup for low carbs. Served HOT. Pretty nice and decent indoor dining area for a takeout place- with marble table tops, and comfy seats, asian style wall images make it nice. Unlike some chinese places, they have a bathrooms for customers-helpful. Cold stone next door makes it a "one Plaza tummy pleaser!"

But through out the years you see new worker's were they only give you about 2 scoop of food witch is nothing. Now I finished the food and still be hungry. So the 2 stars is for putting me on a diet.

Because let me tell you... it has been a **long, long time** since I've had Chinese food that made me believe in love again. Then the food came out. The rice? STICKY...PERFECTLY STICKY!!! Perfect. MOIST, not mushy... just minding its business and being amazing. Like, where have you been all my life? Why did you let me suffer like that? And the sweet and sour pork... listen... crispy on the outside, tender on the inside... it had layers. Emotional layers. I wasn't just eating, I was healing. The Broccoli and beef...game changer. The broccoli had a fresh snap to it mmmm fresh! But what blew me away was the beef, it resembled Wagu meet. So tender so flavorful. I was sitting there, slowly munching my night away, completely unbothered, living my best life like I had just found inner peace... in a takeout container, but better, it was on a plate! At one point I literally thought, "Is this what happiness tastes like?" Because I was in full "Wok Deli" Chinese style. No passport, no jet lag, just vibes. I didn't want to leave. I considered ordering more just to stay longer like, "Don't rush me, I'm having a moment." If you've been out here struggling like I have, eating mediocre Chinese food and pretending it's okay... stop. Go here. Fix your life. 10/10. Came for food, left emotionally fulfilled.

This has become one of our go-to family spots because the experience is always consistent -- welcoming staff, fast service, generous portions, and dishes that actually taste freshly cooked instead of rushed. What we ordered this visit: Crispy Garlic Fried Pork -- perfectly golden, crunchy, and packed with flavor. The garlic topping took it to another level. Easily one of the standout dishes. Pan Fried Noodles with Beef -- classic comfort food done right. Noodles had great wok flavor and weren't overly greasy. Sizzling Bitter Melon Beef -- tender, savory, and super satisfying with rice. Stir-fried Eggplant -- fresh, vibrant, and a great balance to the heavier dishes. Everything came out hot and quickly, even during a busy dinner hour. The team checked on us often and made sure drinks, tea, and plates were always refreshed -- service like this is why we keep coming back. What I appreciate most is that Happy Bee Kitchen feels like a true neighborhood restaurant: reliable, family-friendly, and consistently delicious no matter how many times we visit. Great for families Large portions for sharing Fast, attentive service Comforting, classic Chinese dishes If you're looking for a dependable spot for a casual family dinner where everyone leaves full and happy -- this place never disappoints.

The place itself is not super fancy, but it feels comfortable and relaxed for a family meal. Good food, good portions, friendly service, and overall a very pleasant experience. We'll probably come back again.
