Even on a fairly busy Saturday night, the service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the Mapo Tofu, and as someone who is very critical of tofu dishes, this one seriously impressed me. The tofu was perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and honestly one of my favorite vegan tofu dishes in Traverse City. The rice was fluffy, the portion was generous, and for around $16, I left completely stuffed. We also tried the cucumber salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and huge. My only small note is that both dishes came with quite a bit of cilantro, so I'd probably ask for lighter cilantro next time. Other than that, the food was incredible and honestly so good that we're already considering going back again today!

The worst possible meat was used. Egg roll was just a thick wrapper with nothing inside. Nothing. Almond boneless was dry, put on a bed of veggies in a strange brown sauce with a weird taste. No brown gravy? Never had an almond boneless in Michigan that didn't serve it. Chicken fried rice was old tasting. Service was fast and friendly. The kitchen has stuff everywhere and big pots on the ground. Sanitary? Probably not. Literally go anywhere else but here. **ETA- The lunch price for almond boneless is the dinner price anywhere else. 3 small slices of chicken on a gross brown sauce soaked veggies for $15 is a little pricey

The other thing that was surprising and not acceptable was the service charge, why do we have to pay the number they put it in if we didn't like the food as much, maybe I wanted to pay more or less of the already added number. Not coming here again.

The salad was fresh and generously portioned but you're basically paying $14 for a bowl of fresh romaine lettuce and one wafer.

That said, prices in the area generally seem higher than Id expect for the menu items so might be location- specific.

Much to my great disappointment, and embarrassment, the "Fried Rice" wasn't just "Fried Rice" - it was "Chicken" Fried Rice!!! My two Vegan friends could not eat the Chicken Fried Rice so only had the small amount of tofu for their meal. I would think you would realize that if someone is ordering tofu, rather than one of the many other protein (meat) options, that you would know NOT to give them "Chicken" Fried Rice! I tried to share this info with them on their Contact Us form, but the multiple times I tried to 'Send Message' - "Something went wrong" and it wouldn't send. So I'm at least putting it here so others can beware.

For people who have not had actual primo, well prepared Asian cuisine, I've never seen anyone not enjoy and tell me that they absolutely loved every single dish. This is what it is. It's only $14 for lunch, and if you went to one of the commercial burger places, you would expect that amount on just a regular basket with fries, drink and a burger. Here people get to eat as much as they want. Having explained this, I hope that you understand why I give the stars that I do for this place. It's because they were clean and there was nothing wrong with any of the dishes that I saw or tried . I particularly only like a few. I might like more if the food was hotter temperature wise. I have been to Asian buffets, particularly in Cheboygan and their food was a lot hotter, even though it's in the hot water baths or however, they're heating it. I prefer to have my food served hotter for many reasons. It is more tasty, it kills bacteria and any food problems like that. I'm sure that if they have these heated too high, it also breaks down the vegetables quickly. But I feel that this is a necessary requirement with the buffet food especially. I do love the hibachi style being available. You can add whatever you want, and the hibachi chef will fry it and add whatever sauces you'd like so that's my favorite. That's the main reason I go here, but the reason my sister always insist on returning Here is because "she likes to pig out". I see that many people do. That's what these buffets are. I think in the past like in the 70s they actually used to even put smorgasbord on the sign now everyone knew what that meant. I find that the servers are nice and it's always a very friendly ambience here so that along with the cleanliness and the fact that people look extremely happy that they "got to pig out" I give this place a four.. and really why would I come and eat again and again at a place that I didn't feel was a safe safe or sufficient lunch? I would not.

It was the first time for us going there and the food wasn't bad... but some of the food on the buffet was cold. I got stuff for the Mongolian grill they have there to have the cook stir-fry it for me... he cooked/stir-fried what I gave him on the plate, but it wasn't cooked all the way through. Also, I LOVE hot mustard, and I like to mix it into my food, but all they had was packets of hot mustard that were jellied and tasted horrible. They need to make fresh hot mustard, NOT packets!!! I lived in Florida for 20 years, so I know good crawdads and what they should taste like, I also know how to cook them with good seasonings... but the crawdads/crabs they had on the buffet were horrible tasting and over cooked!!! My biggest complaint would be no fresh "Hot Mustard"... and the cook on the Mongolian grill needs to learn how to stir-fry.
