Almond Cookies cake pudding
Katherine R.

Holy moly. If there was a way to give this 0 stars I would. SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY, AND HEALTH. Quite literally everything was horrible From the main dishes to the dessert to the service. I literally would recommend going anywhere else! The chicken is old, it's gummy, the flavor is so bad The rice was ok, it had flavor but it was disgusting. The only good things were the chicken nuggets that are like Walmart frozen nuggets. The dessert is so old and so disgusting. The cake looks so yummy, and when you bite into it, it's like cardboard. The ambiance is definitely giving we haven't updated this place since 2000 but hey. Go down to that red lobster or maybe even a chick fil a cuz this isn't worth your time or money!

Restaurant from the outside.

A buffet restaurant offering a wide assortment of popular Chinese, Japanese and Sushi dishes, and an area for desserts with variety of fresh fruits, puddings, hello, cookies, ice cream and ect.. Service is on par, right when you get seated, your asked what you would like to drink, and off you go, for the all you can eat buffet, with so many options , and when your done with your plate, the servers are there to take the dirty plates away so you can start with a clean plate. My daughter lives there sushi, as I like there pepper steak, chicken and broccoli and lomein. Soups are really good as well. They even have finger foods for the little ones, like chicken fingers, French fries, pizza. So many options. They have a nice selection for seating. When you walk in they have a gigantic fish tank with beautiful fish. You never leave hungry, which is a good sign.

Visited on a thanksgiving weekend dinner. Besides roasted beef, they actually serve a whole turkey. Price went up $1 compared to 8 months ago. May be because of less crowded, sushi selection was more. Food quality was ok like before. Still a better Chinese food option for the area. Always like the soft serve icecream there.

Sushi forever

The food has absolutely amazing. The ambience is superb. The people the staff are very friendly. The place is very very clean. The food is absolutely delicious. I will come back here again.

Clean establishment and wide selection of food. Taste is sort of watered down on many of the chicken dishes which is why I took a star away

Says all you can eat crab legs and they don't even have them at all
Sarah K.

We went in because their sign said all you could eat crab legs. When we went in to eat the buffet I asked when they put the crab legs she told me that they don't have them at all. Also it was very pricey to not have hibachi or crab legs (even though they didn't advertise hibachi)

LOCAL REVIEW: I have been coming to this buffet restaurant for over 15 years. It is consistently delicious. Service is friendly and quick. And the value cannot be beat! I read the other reviews and I'm very confused because I don't know what restaurant these people went to, but the one I went to was lovely, there was no gratuity added to my check, and the food was hot or cold, depending on which bar you went to. See the check for proof. Selection was excellent with 3 hot bars, 1 cold bar, and a sushi bar. Please check it out, it's a solid Asian Buffet. Enjoy!

They're back open Monday thru Sunday qq

Such a huge selection of food! Everything I tried was tasty, and the soft serve ice cream to finish the meal was a real treat.

Too much salt in everything, there is no reason to salt ANYTHING. Even the rice had too much salt, WHO SALTS RICE?

Five Star Chinese - Egg Roll

If you're anywhere in the Poconos and craving Chinese food, stop what you're doing and go here…read moreimmediately. This place is the definition of a five‑star hidden gem. The moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed with a warm, genuine smile that makes you feel like family. No frills, no gimmicks -- just pure, unforgettable flavor. The food? Absolutely out of this world. This is the kind of spot that reminds you why "hole in the wall" places are always the best. The chicken with curry is hands‑down the best I've ever tasted -- rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. And the hot and spicy chicken? Legendary. Fiery, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every single time. This restaurant doesn't just serve great food -- it sets the standard for what great food should be. Five stars isn't enough. It's the Poconos' reigning champion of Chinese cuisine, and it lives up to its name in every possible way.

I need to go back here and try some other items before totally deciding, but this was a pretty…read morerough stop. A few of my friends said this is their favorite Chinese takeout so I finally made it up to give it a shot. I got the shrimp with garlic sauce combo and an order of Szechuan wontons. The woman was friendly and spoke solid English. The establishment was downright greasy...but honestly what Chinese place isn't? The wontons themselves had very little filling in them. It was all crunch and no body. The sauce was also just ... not good. Tasted closer to American bbq sauce than it did any spicy Szechuan sauce I've ever had. Also zero spice to the sauce. There were also peas and carrots in the container. Like ... what? This was a huge letdown. I ate 2. The shrimp with garlic sauce had 4 shrimp in the container. The shrimp tasted great, and their garlic sauce was solid, but 4 shrimp. I should have gotten the chicken. I normally order chicken with broccoli and have them sub garlic sauce when I get Chinese takeout. I should have done that. There was also a plethora of vegetables in this that were just taking up the space the shrimp were missing from. Baby corn, water chestnuts, large chunks of mushroom/onion/pepper, snowpeas...you name it. The one highlight of the food here was the fried rice wasn't just generic yellowish rice in a container. This was actual fried rice, which is hard to come by in these parts. The egg roll was unremarkable. I'll go back and try other stuff at some point but for now - Five Star Chinese -Sucked.

I've been…read morehere and been incredibly happy with my order and i've been here and have felt upset that I spent my money on it. On this specific trip, the food was good. I got the spicy tuna roll (if you ever go, get the wonderful roll, it's the best there), The Chicken Stick appetizer, and the Chicken with garlic sauce that I requested to be very spicy. The Spicy Tuna was good. It was not any better than good and it wasn't bad. Just good. The Chicken Sticks were solid. Sometimes places don't cook them well enough and the inside is still kind of watery, I hate that. They cooked them perfectly here. I also don't like when they add too much of the food dye to make them look like the Devil's Fingers or something...they didn't do that either. The Chicken with garlic sauce was a solid plate, but was not spicy. It was normal spicy and some people may have found it to be hot enough but I specifically asked them to make it really hot and it just wasn't. I also don't love the fried rice here, I never have. There isn't any "wok char" on it at all and it lacks flavor. Ichiban is good...there is better, but in the Poconos it's fairly middle of the road.
