    I had to go back again. The food was awesome . The waitresses were extremely nice and helpful. The staff is so pleasant when you walk in the door. Love this place. The only thing I wish they would serve is sour cream for the tacos.

    Doesn't look open from the outside, they need more advertising. Their is no outside lights to tell people they are open. Other than the open, it is not that bad, I have seen so much worst places that have buffet. I deff prefer this than golden coral. I did like the noodles and the seafood. The place is super clean, looks like it has been renovated. Another plus was the cleanness of the bathrooms. Top noche. I do recommend that the place puts more lighting outside, and the food to be warmer. We came in at at 7:30, so the food should of been fresh, but that's why my 4 stars instead of 5

    Hadn't visited this location in a couple years and it's been upgraded! Newly renovated, new AC, very clean. Staff are bilingual and very attentive. Food is just as good here as the Orlando location. Unlimited croquetas and queso frito? Yes please!

    This was the first time I went to a Latin buffet that wasn't in my house! I can't believe this concept actually existed until my friend brought my here for my birthday. The food was great and lots to choose from. I didn't take pictures cause I was busy picking food and eating but it is definitely a must if you are a Latin food lover! Service was good, price was right and the food was abundantly amazing. You will not go home hungry here!!!

    Pork chop, spaghetti, crab, ox tail, gizzards, black beans and rice.

    The food was definitely good. I enjoyed the variety of foods, from pigs feet to chicken gizzards and ox tail and beef liver. It was a delight for me. The service was good, everyone we interacted with was friendly. The facility itself was clean, and comfortable. I am from out of state and could only hope they would bring a restaurant like this there, being Colombian I truly loved the flavor profiles here that reminded me of that piece of myself.

    Flies in their cold food

    Literal flies on the food, the food is cold, it is very and I mean very overpriced, you're timed for an hour to eat, And The servers were difficult to flag down. I am most definitely never going to come back here and waste my money again

    This place is everything plus everything

    Place was good, to bad they only have these resturants in Florida had there been 1 in ny game over. Food was good and service attentive. Will definitely be going back when I return to Florida here soon

    All in all, absolutely amazing. I'm not from around here, I'm from LA. I came here o. A suggestion of the shuttle driver. I am impressed! 5 stars for the following: Variety, variety and variety of meats and soups. I couldnt get enough, I tried practically everything and I wasn't disappointed. If you're from LA you know there are many buffet restaurants, typically Chinese. But this place goes above and beyond. Lunch is $10.99 and it includes drink, and it's up to 3pm Come on over, you will not be disappointed. Absolutely friendly service from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend to family and friends A++

    LISTEN. I wasn't too sure about this place before I got there. The photos and former reviews didn't have me convinced. BUT THEN I GOT THERE. The front is unassuming, but plenty of parking. There was a short line to get in which I didn't mind. You pay before sitting, and it was very affordable. We were seated in the back, closest to the food and oh my gosh. What a selection! There is a mix of basic Chinese buffet staples and Spanish/Puerto Rican food, majority being the latter. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the lechon. I honestly would return for the lechon alone. Our waitress kept our waters full and the entire staff was so friendly. Before I finished my first plate I had already messaged several friends telling them about the establishment. I will 100 percent be returning.

    Truly was the best food ever loved it so much had to make love to my sexy ass husband!!!

It's very comfortable. My only issue was it took so long to get our food. We got the ramen and 2 orders of the pork dumplings together. We got through about half of our ramen before an order of the pork dumpling shows up. We finished the first set of dumplings and were going to cancel the second order, but then they showed up. Moral of the story, don't show up hangry lol

    Came across this place as it was in the same area as Susuru where I've been the last couple of…read morenights. So this is my 3rd night here in Orlando and decided to come here. All I can say, this place simply blew my mind!! I never expected this resto to be this GOOD! Came in around 7:15 pm and there's were a few people waiting and I signed up on their Yelp waitlist kiosk. But I got seated about 5-10 mins upon arrival. So when looked at the menu, they had 3 dishes that were Michelin guide recommendations. The first one is their wonton soup, the pan fried Peking duck buns and the steamed buns with bokchoy and mushrooms. So I was curious and had to order the wonton soup and since I love Peking duck, I ordered the buns. Here's my assessment: 1. Pork and shrimp wonton soup - 15/10 - the soup was pretty neutrally flavored but still good to my liking but oh boy, the wonton was out of this world!! It came with 6 large wontons, some bokchoy, seaweed and the broth. I always ask for chili oil and when I took a bite of the wonton, the sudden burst of deliciousness that I felt in my mouth was indescribable. Then I dipped the wonton in the chili oil and it added another layer of umami flavor. This is prolly my Top 2 wonton soup I've had in my life next to the one I've tried in Hongkong years ago!! Every wonton I ate the more I just want to eat more wontons . It's INCREDIBLE. 2. Pan fried Peking duck buns - 20/10 - this should be a Michelin star dish!! The bun was a little sweet, soft but that first bite felt like all my salivary juices just exploded. This is the BEST BAO BUN I've had in America. The most perfect combination of sweet, savory, salty, with a touch of five spice and a gastronomically out of bounds dish - It's UNBELIEVABLE!! Every customer should not leave this resto until they've tried this one!! Trust me, you may want to eat at least 4 pcs of this. I would have wanted to get 2 more but I was already full. 3. Steamed bokchoy with garlic - 10/10 - love the freshness of the bokchoy, well poached and the garlic was just enough that it was not overpowering yet it was garlicky. I wish we can have Kung Fu Kitchen in CA but I guess FL is more business friendly. They also have their sister flagship resto in NY!! So if ever you come to Disney World or Orlando for a work or business trip, pls do yourself a favor and make sure you put this resto as part of your itinerary!!!

We also ordered the Chicken and Broccoli combo, which came with Pork Fried Rice and an Egg roll. The Fried Rice was perfect and the Chicken & Broccoli tasted amazing. My favorite dish that we ordered was the Steak w/ Garlic Sauce. They were not stingy with the Steak OR the veggies. And THE SAUCE was SCRUMDIDDILYUMPTIOUS!!!!!!!! It came smothered in a perfectly balanced sweet and spicy sauce. Absolute PERFECTION. Tastes JUST like my favorite corner store in West Philly. Mmmmmmmmmmmm yesssssss!!!! You will NOT be disappointed! And they weren't stingy with the fortune cookies, they gave us 4. I am HIGHLY SATISFIED. Can't wait to eat my leftovers for dinner tonight!

The flavors were spot on, the spring rolls were perfectly crispy, and the chili garlic noodles & schezwan rice had a fantastic, spicy kick. The paneer dumplings were flavorful. For dessert, the Rasmalai Tres Leches was a unique and delicious fusion highlight, and the Fried Ice-Cream was perfect. Portions are quite generous, so you definitely get your money's worth.The service was fast and attentive. While the indo-chinese fusion food was good, the Indian food was not good at all. The chana masala and daal had no taste. That said, I would go back for fusion food only.

We tried the herbal broth, tom yum, and the original broth, and all three were delicious.

My kids had fun grabbing the colorful bowls off of the conveyor belt. The frozen meats, meatballs, and seafood were all good. The only item that I didn't enjoy was the scallops- not because there was anything wrong with the frozen mini scallops; they just weren't to my personal liking and didn't go well with the dipping sauce I made. Service was wonderful from start to finish, and I loved that every customer received a complimentary scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal. Great food, attentive service, and a fun filled dining experience, this place is definitely worth checking out!
