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?

I should have listened to the 1 star reviews , what tf were they doing catching the fish at the…read moreriver!? I been waiting 30 min i still haven't gotten anything besides the order of fries , i swear to god if im waiting longer and the food comes and it tastes awful im reporting this restaurant to the attorney general office. How is this place still open? There's like 12 people in here maxxxx , they definitely got 1 person in the back running all the food cuz there's no way. The ambience of this spot is absolutely horrid. I should have just took myself to the Texas Roadhouse across the street. Absolutely awful service. Servers all look mad and depressing and i don't even have an appetite to eat anymore. This place needs to be shut down this was literally the worst place i ever went to and I've been around all of America trying out many different spots. -20 stars I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! Edit: I'm reporting this place , tastes like I'm chewing stale socks. I can't believe i wasted my time an money here. Edit again : I'm about to crash out , i been here for 2 hrs and only ate once , my appetite it gone and i wanna just leave im so mad rn. My stomach is destroyed this food is not fresh i feel like im about to throw up.

At first I was hesitant on coming since there was many mixed reviews but let me say it did not…read moredisappoint, to start off I got a pink lemonade and that was the only thing that thre me off it tastes a bit funny but my boyfriend said it tastes fond so that could totally be a me thing. This place offers unlimited food for 32.99 that is insane and I never found a place that's that's cheap, on top of that you can order a whole crab legs pound for an extra $16 like in Amazed at that deal, over here in Jersey there's no way your finding that. Also there was so many options on that too such as sushi a soup and chicken wings and etc. the service was amazing we had a man server I forgot his name but he was really tall and he was honestly the best so polite and attentive, especially since I love crabs I was not shamed for ordering so many lol. And room is so cute and has so many decorative fish items on the ceiling so it was a very nice ambiance. The only thing that threw me off was the music. It was I think (Chinese based) so not English and some songs were supper high pitched animal sounds. I felt like that was a bit off place if they played calm radio hits it would suite the environment better

There was quite a bit of hype around this place, so we were excited to give it a try while visiting…read morethe Poconos for a function. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to our expectations. The food was decent, but not as impressive as we had anticipated. The service was okay--nothing particularly memorable--and the ambience was average. The building itself also seemed like it could use better upkeep and management. Overall, I was expecting more based on the hype, so we left feeling a little disappointed. It wasn't a bad experience, but it simply didn't live up to the expectations we had going in.

I found this place from Tik Tok and I wanted to try it so bad, if you're reading this don't…read morehesitate just go !! Food was incredible. So for drinks I got the mango and strawberry lassi and it was so good you can't go wrong with it. As far as the food we are basic as get chicken tiki masala with garlic nun and it was so good. The only think I noticed it the actual chicken portion was soooo small. All of my favorite places in Jersey are double the size and the same price so usally I can have it as leftovers. So the portions are fine if it's just for them not to take home . Also we got two orders of garlic bun for reference. The service was decent they checked up on us but what I said thank you they wouldn't say your welcome or respond it made me feel awkward. The ambiance is mid too. The train is outdated and the paint needs to be retouched but it was definitely worth it just for the food.

Your (very) standard/basic/expected resort buffet…read more A solid/varied selection of items... from an omelet station to the cereal dispensers (my kids used to love this contraption when they were younger) to fruit (diced and/or whole) to... kielbasa?! (They were totally trying to butter up the Mrs. who was born in Poland, that's for sure!) First gripe: my kids usually love (and devour) waffles - but here they were incredibly sweet and they couldn't handle more than a bite or two. Second gripe: the waitstaff's main function seems to be for getting your drinks (and later giving you the check). Even after all the time it took to "hunt-and-gather" (loading up our plates) from the various stations we were almost done with our food before receiving our coffees, waters, and lemonades. (This really needs to be tinkered with so it'll be improved for future diners.) Coffee (when we finally got it!) was surprisingly good. Pricing was better than expected, for sure. Friendly diligent crew of workers - constantly checking in to see how everyone was doing. It wasn't the best or worst breakfast buffet I've ever been to. Once was enough but I wouldn't have been opposed to going again. (Breakfast/lunch only with a dinner buffet on weekends.)

The breakfast buffet was full of rude people, food wasn't being stocked regularly, and overall, it…read morewas chaos. Way overpriced breakfast! Service was terrible--ordered a coffee and got a coke. Sadly, gratuity added into the bill.
