    I did not consider the service or ambiance, the food was so good, they could throw things at me and…read moreI'd sit there and eat. This place needs to double the chef's salary, cause that person can cook! Like many places that serve excellent food in rural Tennessee, it is nothing spectacular. In fact, you'd never suspect that inside that nondescript building, where two kitchen workers are shooting hoops on the two goals behind the place, is a culinary nirvana. Parking lot was packed, always a great indicator. I highly recommend this place. I also like serving myself. Always feel bougie when folks wait on me. No worries here. They're prompt with the drinks and the rest is up to you. The price is more than reasonable. Two people at the dinner buffet, gave the cashier 30 bucks and got paper change. Can't beat that with a stick.

    We got the buffet and we were really not impressed by it. The food must have been sitting there for…read morea long while because the chicken was dry and hard. They had chow mein noodles but they needed to be replenished. Just as a heads up, the (so called) "crab" ragoons are NOT crab but IMITATION crab. If you could only know how that junk is made, you would NEVER eat it again!!!!! The "service " was sorely lacking. The server couldn't understand us when we asked her if she had club soda. Also, she NEVER came back to check on us or take our empty dishes. Ambience???? Not here. A little on the noisy side. No romance and seating is only fair to middling. As far as a return trip.....well, maybe we will try something on the menu next time. We will see....the jury is still out on this one. will update soon.

    We have seen this place go through several people operating it over the last 10 or so years. The…read moreoriginal people who ran it when we came to the area were probably the best of the lot. In reality, I have no idea how or why the health department has not closed this place. Having been involved in the food service industry in years past, I am pretty fussy about food handling. Storage, prep space, cooking & holding temps. This place has been far short of minimum. On one occasion we stopped in to grab a lunch special, this was when we learned the woman with the young child was no longer there. From the front counter we could see into the kitchen, where they had a large pile of raw chicken on the table they were taking from to make up assorted dishes in different woks. It was a hot day and there were flies in the place there is no way I could trust the food coming out of this place, we did not order food and have never been back. I really think the town & county should work on trying to get some new food establishments & grocery into the area. We have a massive lack of eateries, especially in regarding variety. Between Ashland City & Pleasant View (Cheatham County), there is probably over 2 dozen Mexican restaurants, but only 3 that were reasonably good, only 1 considered to be close to authentic. We have 2 bar & grills, a few chain pizza shops and a few bad attempts at a pizza shop here and a potentialy good choice aside from the weird hours they are open, the usual fast food offenders, Hardees, Burger King, McDonald's, we did just recently see a Waffle House open. We have an old H.G. Hill (they did a partial remodel about 2yrs ago), an old Food Lion, and a really old Save-A-Lot grocery store... There are a couple of saving graces... Thirsty Goat, a few restaurants in the Square of PV. But that's where it really about ends. Bottom line,

I went with crab Rangoon and pork lo mein. My husband didn't like the general tso. He said the one back home was better. I tried a bite of his. It was ok but nothing memorable. The crab Rangoon tasted stale. It wasn't good. Flavor was weird. Probably the worst I've ever had. Didn't realize how bad it could be. The lo mein looked like it would be delicious but it was pretty bland and lacking any kind of flavor. It was kind of dry. I can't even explain how that's possible. All in all I'd never try anything else from here. We ended up driving to a place 35 min away for our next Chinese food take out run.
