    Went twice. First time was like 10 minute wait. Second time was closer to an hour so business is good. A bit pricey for me for a buffet because 3 of us was about 100$ before tip. Food was fresh both times. The service was ok when trying to get refills and the plates cleared. I don't eat sushi so I can't offer any advice. There are still signs of the previous restaurant which I'm guessing was seafood based on decorations. Nothing was particularly bad, but I felt it didn't warrant a 5 star.

    I'm not the biggest fan of buffets now that I'm a bit older and do not have an iron stomach anymore. However, having a buffet open in Littleton is fairly exciting so we decided to give it a try. Everyone working is really friendly and our plates were cleaned up in a timely manner. The prices are reasonable also. $21pp for a weekday dinner is quite the steal in this economy. We tried a bit of everything, but what stood out was the Monglian grill. The sauces are very concentrated though, so definitely only use half to 1 scoop of sauce for your bowl, it is very salty. The fried chicken was delicious and highly recommend grabbing some of those. The coconut shrimp was tender and sweet. The salmon was also cooked and seasoned well. Skip the crab and the sushi was not the best and definitely not the star of the buffet. They also have an ice cream station with soft serve along with packaged ice cream. These were nice to have, but nothing memorable. We arrived around 5:30 and there were plenty of tables, but by the time it was 6:30 it was packed. We were seated in a booth and we also needed a high chair and it was abnormally tall to meet the height of the table. However, my son couldn't even reach the table because it was too far and it was very inconvenient. I'd recommend getting a non booth with a normal high chair if it's available. The biggest tables could fit about 6 people. Otherwise, it is a family friendly buffet. I honestly can't complain for the price.

    For the price and the selection not bad. There's not many places like this left so if you want to get your buffet fix and to try a selection of items then why not. For $21 dinner price you can't beat all the options you have. There's also desserts, ice cream, pizza for your picky eaters, seafood options and Mongolian grill options where you can create your own stir fry. Come hungry and try some good food. They literally just opened a couple days ago so yes it can get busy but I feel like they were moving the tables pretty quick even at 6:30pm on a Friday night. The place was really clean and I enjoyed the vibes. Below are a few photos that I took of the items I tried. The banana pudding was also very good. They a little of everything if you want or stick to one thing, whatever you prefer.

    City buffet is your standard Chinese and sushi buffet with a Mongolian grill as well. I've been excited to try it since it opened a few months ago, as it's now the closest all you can eat Chinese place to my house. The sushi was better than most buffet sushi. The meats we tried were not dry, the Thai chicken was so incredibly garlicky it was all I could taste for a while. The Mongolian line moved quickly. The staff were very friendly from the start, and I like how there's plenty of booth seating. Before tip, it was $54 for two, so a little more expensive than some buffets but pretty average.

    I have been waiting for this restaurant to open for nearly a year and I'm thrilled it's finally open. They are calling it a "soft opening" but it's open and running. I grabbed my wife and her new girlfriend and headed over. We were all impressed from the second we walked in until we walked out. The decor is eye catching and beautiful. Everything is new, clean and shiny. The staff were all exceptionally pleasant, polite, helpful and efficient. The food choices lean more towards Asian type cuisine but they have plenty of basics of Americans type foods. I enjoyed their soft serve ice cream bar as well. Parking was simple and there plenty of it. It's in a really nice area of town with Marston Lake right behind it. This place is a hit and all three of us really enjoyed ourselves. The big plus? Very LGBT friendly. I highly recommend this new buffet.

    Arrived at 5pm on a Sunday thinking I'd beat the crowds, but was surprised to see a crowd already! Waited for 20 min for our table, not bad for a new highly anticipated soft opening for a buffet. I did enjoy the food variety and Mongolian grill. Sushi- I thought was better than most other similar places in the Denver metro area. Restaurant is clean, I loved the hand washing station out in the open (don't need to go into the bathroom), the soft serve was fun as well. Will definitely come back!

    Discovered this new Asian buffet in Littleton to meet up with a friend. The place is decent sized. We got there right about 5 pm on a Wednesday night before the dinner rush. Place was clean and servers every where. We were seated immediately. One thing I liked about this buffet is that they have sinks to just wash your hands outside of the restrooms, which I like a lot. Any buffets you go to is just a casual ambiance, nothing fancy. Food I would say is decent. Don't expect fine dining when coming to a buffet. The best thing I enjoyed there was the green beans, battered fried shrimp, Chinese donut, Thai chicken, and the little ice cream cups. You can't really go wrong with food choices here. Price was definitely reasonable. Overall experience was good.

    They offer a great selection of dishes including sushi, seafood and meat. Quick service by the staff to keep our table clean. The seafood is fresh and their beef dishes are delicious.

    Came in on a pretty busy Friday night around 6:00pm. Street or lot parking! Seated quickly, service…read morewas great, and always clean. I am so glad that they are so consistent and have not changed recipes or adjusted seasonings. Ordered our two favorites - pickled pepper beef and mapo tofu. Then the string beans and a new dish - sauerkraut fish filet. The sauerkraut fish filet reminded me of the Vietnamese catfish soup but no sweetness added. Very good dish and will def order again. Also love that they have quality rice here.

    Decided to come here because I was craving Chinese food and heard good things about this place…read more Figured I'd give it a try. We ordered the fried tofu (with peppers and onions), orange chicken, fried fish fillet, and veggie delight (mixed veggies). The fried fish fillet was definitely the standout. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a light, tangy layer of sauce that added flavor without making it soggy. Easily my favorite dish of the meal. The fried tofu was also really solid and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The peppers and onions complemented it well without overpowering the tofu itself. The orange chicken was okay. I tend to compare orange chicken to Panda Express (probably unfair, but it's my benchmark), and this one didn't quite hit that same balance of crispiness and sauce. I think if it had a bit more meat within each piece, would be better. The mixed vegetables were decent but not something I'd order again. They felt a bit drenched in sauce and didn't have much depth in flavor. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting an elderly woman who helps out when it gets busy. She mentioned she was the former owner. She was incredibly kind, and we ended up having a really nice conversation in Mandarin. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. Otherwise, really nice venue with lots of space and tables. Waiters always refilled my water, which is a good plus. Also gave me fresh rice when I took the leftovers to go. Overall, a solid meal with a couple standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the fried fish fillet and tofu. Will be back to try their other dishes.

    Covid has ruined me for dining-in to most places, I love to eat at home now so I cannot speak to…read morethe dine-in service or ambiance. But I can speak to their delivery service and the deliciousness of the food. It was just wonderful. I love that they offer a just-shrimp appetizer. Most places will charge you more money to add in veggies when all I really want is the tempura shrimp - the batter and crispyness was superb. The sauce is thick and sweet! Lo-mien was incredible. I cannot wait to try more food. I ordered pick up since they are only a 2 minute drive from my home, but my car would not start! I called them to offer to pay for the meal (I was going to pay cash inside) and they stopped me right there to say they'll deliver. Ever after I was fussing with my car, then calling them 20 minutes after the expected pick up time, the food was still hot and CRISPY. Talk about service. Will eat again!

    3 star review because the food's not that bad. Everything we ordered was pretty tasty. However,…read morewould have liked the Kung Pao beef to actually be spicy! Hear - the buyer beware part. 1. Do not tip online when placing an online order as it will go through on your ticket and they will proceed to give you a receipt that asks for another tip. Someone else picked the food up. (had to argue with the owner as food/service was not worth total of both tips given) 2. online order says will be ready in 25 minutes. Order doesn't even get started until you've shown up and paid! Expect to wait another 20 minutes for your food.. The restaurant inside is nothing special but you can't expect much from an old Taco Bell building.. Give it a try just watch out for the double tipping!

I recommend going to the imperial garden in Denver not this mess of Littleton. Such a shame I like this place when it was with Amy not the new owner or Waitress. Also they hardly put anything on TV and nothing to look at. Amy had fish tanks while they have nothing and just tables and boring. Disappointment from this restaurant and feels so dull and lights are broken too. Update: found out I was wrong but the kid is nice and try to help out from these horrible adults who can't do their job! And they hardly speak English and refuse to use google translate and misunderstand everything of the kid saying and yelling at the kid infront of everyone. Not worth going! They are a huge bully and not nice
