Dinner on a Saturday evening with seafood
James C.

Expensive but worth it on a Saturday night. We arrived at 3:30 and got the lunch price and stayed for dinner. Would definitely come back! Good selection of Chinese dishes, salads, and even some sushi. Best Chinese buffet around.

I see some bad reviews so wanted to balance. I went on 9/15/22, and my party of four had a great time. I liked the variety and selection. They have a student discount. I ate my fill and wish I had room for more. The service was fine (though we didn't have any real needs). Also, I feel bad as the reason it's a grocery buffet is they had to pivot due to Covid, becoming a grocery store when no one went to buffets. It can't be easy running a mom-and-pop restaurant, especially this day and age. Anyway, my group had no complaints. But even if we had, I'd try to extend a little mercy and grace. I didn't look too closely at the grocery section, but I think it's Asian groceries, which are always fun to try out.

said koi fish (this is about a foot and a half deep and you can't see the bottom)

the food is amazing but the environment needs some work. The brown fish pond that was clear for years especially caught my attention because it's the first thing all customers see. it seems inhumane for all of the koi fish that have been living here for years. please clean your pond!! it makes this buisness look unprofessional and dirty

Fish swimming (very nice aesthetically)

See all

We were not ...happy A group of 9 of us went to happiness…read moreFriday night . We had 5 pm reservations. I've read so many fabulous reviews so we were anxious to try. It was clear they do a lot of take out orders. After 1 hour of waiting we asked how much longer for our food... We were told short of staff & busy. After 2 hours one person in our party left. We asked again and were told the kitchen had to do something with the Wok. Our server was great . It is certainly a situation beyond her control. After 2 1/2 hours the food finally came. Seems like the "to go orders" clearly took PREFERENCE over the "in house " customers. Portions were  large  but it was the most disgusting food I've ever experienced. The grease was old or rancid , it smelled bad. One bite & it was inedible. Our party paid good money for a meal no one could eat. We were disappointed and will never go there again or recommend it to anyone.

We enjoy going to this place and ordering to go. The food is always fresh, hot, plentiful. The…read moreprice per entree is a little steep, but that is because you get four to five servings each. Recently we got the chicken and vegetables. Like before, the meat was tender, the vegetables were crisp, and everything was nicely seasoned. I know if you order in, you also get a complimentary choice of hot and sour or egg drop soup. Personally I think the hot and sour is tasty. If you are ordering to go, add 15 minutes longer than what they say for the pickup time. We always get there and have to wait longer.

It's been decades since a visit to the Valley Longhorn for us, with the Airway resto closer to…read morehome. It looks great inside, with a lean to all things country/rustic decor. Wifey and I didn't do the lunch buffet, but one son with us did---and let me tell ya, for $16.95 that is one heckuva good deal in 2025. He engorged 3 plates as you see in my pics. The smoked Ribeye Sam I had was generous with the protein, and tender as all get out. I hit it with creamy horseradish, rather than their BBQ sauce. Another good deal was the single-trip Salad Bar, which can be upgraded with a small sam, and choice of meat. Wifey loves her Smoked Turkey, so it wound up being a great lunch in her opinion. Many folks do not care for the Longhorns, but fair or not, we don't compare them with anyone else in the BBQ world (to include my back deck). They are who they are, and we're definitely on their team...

We went here for the first time last weekend for lunch. We always drive by and it smells so good we…read morewanted to try it. When we walked in the person at the front was playing on their phone and ignored us. My husband thought we were supposed to seat ourselves so we started walking to a table when she says, "I'll be with you in a moment." Once seated a very nice waiter came around and provided us the menu and asked for our drink order. We let him know this was our first time here and if there was something he would recommend. He suggested the buffet so we could try more items. We also asked about their brisket as this is an indicator of true barbecue. We were informed that the brisket cost extra, but my husband still wanted to try it so we ordered a side. When we went up to the buffet we noticed they had two sections. The cold salad bar, and the hot food section. The cold salad bar section had many containers to top your salad, however most of them were empty. The hot bar consisted of rib tips, shredded chicken in a sweet sauce, baked beans, hot potato casserole, mashed potatoes, and cornbread. Though I was hoping to really enjoy our experience here, the food was subpar at best. We couldn't even eat the brisket without dousing it in barbecue sauce because it was so incredibly dry, though it was unevenly warmed making me suspect it was reheated in a microwave. As for the cornbread, it was cold like it was just brought out of the refrigerator, the beef tips were overcooked and hard, and the shredded chicken was too sweet. The saving grace of this experience was our waiter. I wish I remembered his name, but he was very kind and helpful. If it wasn't for him, this would be a one star based on our experience.
