    They have some really good soup here. Wonton soup, egg drop soup and other soups. If you like soups and you like to eat a lot of food, you need to come here.

    Very smooshy

    Save your money ....when we hit there there was a sweet man who welcomed us in and brought us to the table . We are not familiar with buffet style eating and so we walked around and got food. Everything tasted like it was day old. The sushi was very low grade the soup was awful there was a whole row with food and mayo. The desserts looked like a throw away bin at Publix but u have to give credit to the only thing edible which was the fruit and shrimp choices. We had a larger group and mid service a served approaches us and asks again how many in our party and as I tell her she gets the check and stated that it's wrong as if I wrote it or lied about the party size . Very confusing to me because i verified upon entry. None the less after the exchange which seemed well they started grabbing all our plates. My dad was literally eating out of one and she pushed in between the seats and grabbed his plate . I was so confused . We didn't eat very much as this was an overwhelming amount of food offered but it simply wasn't good. Also they have a sign with a time limit . We were only there for about 45 minutes. She blocked in another person at our party to even grab plates it was ridiculous. There were so many servers that were just hovering around our table and at first I thought it was good service and then I realized that they really wanted us to just leave. I can say for sure that this was not only an uncomfortable experience, but probably one of the worst that I've had in a while at any restaurant.

    We love to eat here when we are in Brooksville, food is hot, fresh and very good tasting. They keep the buffet clean and wiped down so no messes. Asian, American food of all kinds very well prepared dishes, love there chicken wings.

    You can get those shrimp at lunch

    For some reason Yelp wouldn't let me check in, but anyway, this was a random stop on the way to Weeki Wachee. Some things could have been a little hotter but I liked everything I tried. Buffets are not chef inspired cusine places, but my expectations were all met or a little exceeded. Zero spit out chewy guk into a napkin, bravo I say Buffet City. Everything was well stocked, areas were all kept clean . Very good deal at 10.99 for lunch. This place would go into the regular rotation if I lived near it.

    We have actually been to this location a couple of times before Covid. We are always greeted upon arrival and the staff is always extremely friendly. Our previous visits weren't always great but our most recent visit has been our favorite so far. We arrived around 8:20, they close at 9 so we figured this was fine as usually most buffets will put the time they stop replenishing food. Unfortunately we were incorrect in our assumption and do suggest arriving before 8, otherwise food will not be replenished. This was our biggest issue but honestly, while our favorites were all out (steak in the hibachi and sesame chicken, etc) there was other foods to still pick from. This is also the best the food has tasted to us! Even though we were there late we were never once felt pressured to eat faster and that was very much appreciated! We will definitely give it another try but be sure to arrive at a more reasonable hour!

    Unique place with the conveyor belt of sides, veggies and desserts…read more A little bit of a drive for us and the customers were a bit not a good atmosphere but we enjoyed the food and the service was fast. Our plates never waited more than a few seconds before they were picked up. Will definitely go again.

    Mr. Hot Pot was a good time. We went for lunch because it is like $10 cheaper and less people. I…read moreenjoyed the conveyor belt of side items and desert that goes around the room. Just pick and plate and start cooking it. Fun time. I had just the hot pot and had my fill of so many different things. There are items you can grab and others you order with waiter. They were quick in delivery, but didn't give you a lot. However, you can just keep ordering. Overall a great experience in a fun vibrant atmosphere. Staff are friendly enough. Update: August 2025 - waiters no longer bring you food dishes, only the broth. All other items you grab from the front and sides of the room or the conveyor belt. If an item fails to come around on the belt frequently enough, just ask and they will bring to your table. There are also hot items (ie Luke warm). Wings were good. Today the sauces were all settled at the bottom so make sure to stir and hope for the best they aren't too thick. Still a yummy good time. Don't forget the ice cream too.

    I'm only giving this place two stars because I can respect the fact that I had good experiences…read morehere years ago. It used to be a favorite of my dad's, and whenever I came to visit, we would always stop in. I had heard it had gone downhill, but I decided to give it another shot because I always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, what I experienced this last visit was disheartening and unprofessional. Last week, I ordered a couple of meals with plenty of time to pick them up before a football game. When I arrived, the girl behind the counter asked the cook if the order was ready, and he said no. The two of them then got into an argument in front of customers about when she was supposed to press a button in the system to notify Grubhub that the food was ready. Very uncomfortable and unprofessional. They apologized and told me they hadn't even started the food yet, so it would be another 15-20 minutes. I waited patiently in my car, went back in, and the food was finally hot, so I rushed home. Once I opened my meal, I realized they gave me the wrong order. Instead of the ziti and eggplant meal I ordered, they gave me plain baked ziti -- and it was very dry. I called immediately, and the girl told me they could remake it, but only if I drove all the way back. After already waiting an extra 20 minutes, I asked if there was another option. She said they could offer a gift certificate, but only when the manager returned. She promised the manager would call me. I never heard from anyone. The next day I called again and was told the manager wouldn't be in until Wednesday. I waited, and Wednesday came and went with no follow-up at all. For a $20 order, the situation could have been handled so easily. Instead, I listened to staff arguing, received the wrong meal, and then got zero accountability or customer service afterward. They even tried to blame the Grubhub system until they finally admitted they could see I did order eggplant and ziti. What happened to simply taking care of the customer? We've been coming here for years, but after this experience, we won't be back. Plenty of other Italian restaurants know how to treat people better.

    The sauces were rich and satisfying and no reflux symptoms…read more Classic music played with a matching environment. The service was immediate and one of the big wigs came and asked what we thought. The portions adequate and plated well. Overall a nice place for a classic Italian family style dinner with ambience. Tatiana, our server, gave high end service focusing on our taste. All staff contributed to a soothing experience.
