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?

Very glad I decided to visit this restaurant. I'm a big sushi person and this was exactly what I…read morewas looking for in the area.

The first clue should have been that no one was in the restaurant at 6:00 p.m. on a Saturday…read more My daughter ordered a salmon avocado roll, we split the pork dumplings, and I had the chicken teriyaki bowl. The sushi roll was nearly twice as thick as what I would expect from a Chumaki (medium roll), which is typically around 1.5 inches in diameter and usually contains two to three fillings. The pork dumplings tasted like they had been frozen. They lacked flavor and were heavily garnished with a variety of seasonings that didn't improve them. The chicken teriyaki bowl looked appealing when it arrived, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The chicken was heavily seasoned and cut into very large pieces, making it difficult to eat with either a fork or chopsticks. The only thing that really made the dish "teriyaki" was the sauce added at the end. Unfortunately, the chicken was warm while the sauce was cold, apparently having been stored in a chilled bin, so the combination was not very appetizing. Another issue was the atmosphere. Throughout our entire visit, the gentleman behind the sushi bar preparing the food carried on a loud conversation with the waitress, including frequent profanity, as though they were hanging out at home rather than working in a restaurant. It made the dining experience uncomfortable and unprofessional. The restaurant itself has a nice appearance, but the food and service need significant improvement, especially in an area with so many dining choices. I'm sorry to say that we will not be returning

I noticed they had rack of lamb as an appetizer, so I wanted to try it since it is a unique selection; it was fantastic; tender, and it came with a small serving of mashed potatoes, which were also very tasty. Service was excellent as always too!

Food: I got the lunch box. My miso soup was fine, nothing to write home about. I got the shrimp…read moreshumai. There were only 3 and that had me pretty disappointed, but the flavor was on point. Moist inside with a crisp outer shell. Then the crispy calamari. A peppery batter and the inside was tender, not chewy. The portions for this were perfect, not too much, but a fair appetizer size. I finished off with the shrimp teriyaki. This was served on a bed of shredded vegetables and a side of rice. It had everything to be a good dish, but the sauce was lacking and tasted like a watered down teriyaki with pepper. I just wasn't here for it, but if you like an extremely mild teriyaki then it might be for you! Service: The waitress was attentive and even stopped by to refill my water. I really enjoy when they stop a few times so if you are needing extra sauce or condiments you can request them. Overall an ok experience. Ambiance: The atmosphere was different than I had expected. Dark walls with blue lights all over. The lighting was too dark for my personal taste and I'd prefer a classic white or candlelight style lighting when eating. Value: My meal was a great value for how much food I received and the variety of food. In total, my meal was $16 for 3 appetizer sized dishes, rice, and a bowl of soup. Recommend: If you are looking for a cool atmosphere with a fairly priced lunch menu, I would say this is the spot for you. If you were looking for bold flavors and a more authentic experience, I would opt to pass.
