    First time. Wanted a variety of food, and this was the choice for me and a few bowlers. The food is pretty tasty. It's not exceptionally good but not bad at all. The waitress was on point and kept us filled with beverages. If in the area. I can see us visiting again.

    The place is not the best but decent for the area. It's hidden behind the Target on Baltimore Pike and in what used to be Old Country Buffet. It's got your typical Chinese/Japanese food with some American food, like mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, corn, etc. Fruit, some salad items and desserts are up for grabs as well. They have a variety of sushi but they're usually the cold type. There's a very small hibachi where you can select what you want on your plate & hand to the chef to cook with the sauce of your choice. They'll cook it in front of you because... hibachi. Since it's in the old Old Country Buffet location... it also looks like one. The furniture and carpet are outdated. There are a lot of stains on them. There is some food filth in the serving areas such as crumbs and grease stains from previous customers. Ironically enough, the buffet area looks great and clean. Customer service is not so bad - the waiters try to attend to you but they don't check on you too much. I might come back if I'm in a hurry and feel like having a buffet-style meal, but that's probably not going to be often for this place. Hopefully this place would improve - I definitely see a lot of potential. #DeafPOV disclaimer: I'm Deaf and use ASL & not spoken English so with all of my reviews, I will include how the restaurant treated me as a Deaf person. My family and I walked in and I typed how old my children were and asked for the total cost of the buffet. The person at the register gave me an itemized receipt and let me pay. Once at the table, the same person tried to speak to me but I didn't understand them. I typed on my phone again, asking them what they said. They still spoke again and I could catch a few words on their lips - they were asking what beverage my husband wanted (he was the only one who didn't get water) and I typed his answer on my phone. They spoke, "Ok" and turned around to get it. During the rest of the meal, no waiters that came to our table spoke to us; they only used hand gestures, which was great.

    Over crowded. Had to wait in an unbelievable long queue. It took us 30 minutes to enter, another 20 minutes for a vacant table.

    Serves a wide variety of food, all just okay. Great if you're looking for variety. But don't come looking for unbeatable quality

    I'm from Virginia and I'm used to very good seafood... this place is just that! We got all you can…read moreget $55 each. 2 apps, choice of 2 seafoods (pick your sauce, spicy level) and veggies/sides unlimited! When you're finished order 2 more seafoods and more sides! We had crab Rangoon & fried calamari as our apps. Our main dishes were the snow crab legs, clams, broccoli, corn and sausage with garlic butter no spice! My mom also had all of that plain and the crab legs are still so good plain! It was so delicious! The server was attentive as well!

    I went in 10 minutes ago and I already feel so sick. I don't even know where to start. The food was…read moreFROZEN when it came out (my hands are still cold from touching the crab legs) !! The crab tasted horrible. They tasted very fishy and almost spoiled. There were literally CLUMPS of HAIR in the food. I've never felt more UNSAFE in a restaurant. The waiters were so mean to us. And it took 10 minutes at a time to track one of the down. One was complaining about her job, one threw our utensils down on the table with a grunt and walked away, and the other (when asked why a 34 dollar tip was already included) picked up a menu and underlined the "automatic 15% tip" and snarked at our table. The same one made a rude comment to us about not finishing all of our disgusting food. There were cameras everywhere and my friends counted 20 of them. The entire experience was very off putting. We are all very upset as we were excited to finally have a seafood boil (which we had been talking about for months). EDIT: THE BATHROOM DOOR DOESNT LOCK!! My friend got walked in on. Our server was sprinting table to table and complaining about her job. They never asked us for drink refills. And the waiter rudely told us we should've ordered off the menu for cheaper food. Another edit: my chest hurts so bad I GOT FOOD POISONING
