I was hesitant at first, but this place is like a solid meal. It has everything you'd expect from a buffet. Came for lunch and if you had picky eaters, this would be a place to satisfy the most difficult of palettes. If you're looking to stay on the healthier side, they have sushi with a variety of fillings. There is also a bar with fresh vegetables and soup components you can give to the chef to either stir fry for you or make into soup. There's also plenty of protein to choose from at the other stations. Got a sweet tooth? There's a bar full of mini desserts as well as a soft serve machine. What can go wrong? Want to keep it fresh? Try the fresh fruits and yogurts or jello. Craving Americanized Chinese food? All your wishes from Panda are here (ok minus the orange chicken) for half the cost (it's not even $10 for lunch before tip). There are also some more traditional fare. Seating is ample and you can sit at a table or a booth. The servers come around often to check on you and to clear plates. Parking is easy. I was hesitant at first but because it looks low key outside. It is also no frills on the inside but the food was flavorful and I don't think there's any other place in town you can get this much food for such a small price. Don't expect anything fancy and if you understand it's a very casual setting for Asian fare... you'll come and leave very full.

It was ok. Standard Chinese buffet. It was $16 though which seems a bit high. Service was ok.

Great place only huge selection buffet of American/Polynesian/Multi-cultural/favors. I enjoyed my time here.

Well I can't keep being delusional... As much as I backed this place up because I loved coming here growing up and it was a really good but now the food has gone downhill. Very greasy, and either too salty and no taste at all. It is however still very cheap and families can come eat a lot (Duh). The hibachi bar is alright, and another positive thing is that they constantly being out food so the food is also fresh. I'd say about half the food isn't Chinese either, it's American food tailored for kids which is ok, but if you're looking for Chinese food then it's definitely not for you. Overall, cheap food that taste ok. Obviously not authentic but it's still pretty decent. The people working and service is amazing but it sucks to see this buffet go downhill after so many delicious meals

Here's supposedly Hunan Beef, but maybe the owner wants to steal from customers and give them chicken.

This place is ok. The waiters and staff are excellent. But on this day, they lied. Because it's almost all gone, I wait for one of their best dishes to be refilled, which is Hunan Beef. A staff member looks at it and doesn't refill it. He then refills it with CHICKEN. One can only assume that because beef is more expensive than chicken, this place wanted to be CHEAP and give us chicken instead of beef. In fact almost every meat dish this day, during dinner, was chicken, and one of pork. Restaurant owners, take note that when youw ant to be cheap and rip people off, you get a bad review. If your label say Hunan Beef, make sure you're serving beef, not chicken. I won't be returning to this place. The waiters/waitresses are excellent, but the owner apparently is trying to steal from his customers.

On average the food is pretty good. Though the quality can vary quite a bit. My favorites are the pepper steak and the sushi

I wish my cookie had a fortune lol

Doesn't look like much from the outside, however the full parking lot was encouraging! The staff was friendly and attentive. Everything on the buffet line was fresh, crispy and flavorful. The simple sushi options were quite tasty too. There was something for everyone.

This buffet is seriously lacking, but from what I understand, there aren't a lot of dining options…read morein the area. I would've liked to get a salad, but they only had iceberg lettuce and due to it's lack of nutritional value I thought that to be a waste of space in my stomach. The only other veggie options I saw were overcooked green beans (limp and watery) and broccoli chicken or pepper chicken. All veggies come sauced and with chicken, apparently! What I did get onto my plate was hit or miss. The trend seemed to be that the Asian options were the best. The general tso's, sweet n' sour and teriyaki chicken were good. The teriyaki had a few dry pieces, but I think they just weren't that fresh. The same with the fried shrimp. It was really hard and tasted old. The egg roll was mushy and disappointing, though. The macaroni and cheese was disgusting. The mashed potatoes and gravy tasted instant, but I have a soft spot for instant potatoes! A little salt and pepper and they were just fine. I had two helpings. I managed to find some plain ole steamed cauliflower that I paired with the clarified butter meant for the crab legs that were on special for Father's Day. The staff were nice and kept our plates cleared, but a refill of my soda was hard to come by. They do offer a 10% discount for seniors over the age of 60, which is nice. We finished off the meal with ice cream, served in individual cups. They also offered chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip that you scoop yourself... definitely not the most sanitary.

They have a large variety of food that part I give them but they hospitality is lacking. I said…read morethank you to the people for or five times. They just stared at you so I asked them in your country. What is the Custom when someone say thank you. She stared at me and then said you're welcome. I asked her why then when I say thank you to you and your staff you just stare I never got a You're welcome. My Grandson even said thank you for the Lady bringing him a drink. She just stared at him and then walked off it don't cause nothing to be polite to anybody so that was definitely a turn off to Me. than asked me was I gonna leave a tip? I looked at her and said lady that was your tip for the day. I don't mind tipping and I believe in tipping, but not when it's not deserved.
