Making our way through to tweetsie Railroad when we got hungry and decided to try this buffet out since they usually have options for different people. You first walk in and I was surprised to find that you have to pay first, and then you are able to sit down and eat. Normal Chinese buffet ambiance. They had sushi, but unfortunately, most of it is imitation sushi, and it didn't taste fresh at all and just was not good. Their Wasabi looked like guacamole. Their food options were ok. There's not a lot to choose from. I was waiting for them to put fresh fries, but they never did. They just kept the old soggy and dry ones out. They had noodles, rice, chicken, and broccoli and their normal dishes. The food itself is OK but not the best. I think the best items were the ice cream and the fruit. Other than that, it's a no-go for us and especially for the price. The servers, though, were very attentive and friendly.

I have taken food out twice now from this restaurant and both times I have been satisfied with it…read more Excellent Portions served with white or fried rice. The ingredients were fresh and the taste was delicious! The Thai red curry with vegetables and chicken was very good but I like my coconut curry sauce thicker. I have tried Chinese Mongolian Beef, Chicken Curry, Beef with Garlic Sauce, Egg Foo Young and Egg Rolls. The food has a mild flavor so you may want to ask for extra spicy. They package it well so it will get it to where you are taking it without spillage. There is limited seating inside. I will be returning and hope you will call today and order take out!

Food is always hot and fresh. Never have had a bad dish from here. Very flavorful and the chicken…read morewings? Amazing. Service is always top tier and take out is my favorite. Always ready within 15 minutes. I don't see many folks sitting down and eating but it's your average Asian takeout joint with large tables and seating if you choose to dine in. It's very clean every time I walk in. I recommend it to everyone to try. They have Chinese, Thai, and Japanese dishes.
