    The food was delicious. Exceptional service with friendly caring staff. We had a great poo poo platter for 3. Sweet n Sour Pork Mongolian Beef Fried rice and Steamed rice. Hot Tea and water. Everything was delicious. The music was BARELY audible, and that's part of the experience. My (Adult) son turned on an Oriental Playlist on his phone for a little "ambiance", so someone turned up the restaurant's music, which was the only thing missing.

    We were on a roadtrip and stopped here on the way home from Glacier National Park. It's nice looking inside. There was hardly anyone there around 2:00pm. We ordered egg drop soup, tofu fried rice, stir fried vegetables and honey walnut shrimp. My favorite was the vegetable stir fry. The honey walnut shrimp was coated in too much batter and the sauce was very weird. Everything else was okay. Service was quick and friendly enough.

    Gluten free and soy free orange chicken! Yay!

    This is a favorite local spot for ambient dining. Great for large or small groups, and always full before prom. Very decent Americanized Chinese food. If you want a gluten free and soy free option, ask for the orange chicken made gluten free, aka with steamed rice, no sauce, and no breading. The egg flower soup is also gluten free.

    It was delicious!

    The food was good, but not hot as a buffet should be. One gentleman working the whole place…read more Restaurant was very clean and price was OK for an average buffet. Not a lot of selection, but it's not a busy buffet. Good has good flavor. All self serve including drinks. Although garlic shrimp said mild, it definitely had a bite. Overall not much of a buffet.

    You've been warned…read more 1. If you are Asian, you will be flatly denied entry. 2. If you are not Asian, you should understand the basic logic and what that says about this place. My wife and I were returning to Seattle after visiting Yellowstone and spent the night in Butte. We found this restaurant on Yelp. We weren't expecting world-class dining--just something reasonably clean and edible. What we did not expect was outright discrimination in 21st-century America--especially from people who, historically, have often been on the receiving end of it. As soon as we walked in, the owner/manager/waiter (all the same person) looked at us and said--in Hong Kong-style Mandarin--"I ask you to consume somewhere else." At first, I didn't even process what he said. My wife understood immediately: we were not welcome here because we looked Asian. Keep in mind, this was an Asian buffet. Once I realized what was happening, I was furious and ready to call the police. My wife pulled me away, reminding me there was no point staying another second. I agreed--but decided that people need to know about this. This isn't only about food quality. It's about basic human decency. And this man has none. Bottom line: Use common sense and basic logic. Stay far away from this place.

I was in this area again, hungry and had cravings for Chinese, so decided to give them a chance to rehabilitate. WOW, big change. I could not believe. They IMPROVED a lot. The Shanghai steak, tender and juicy, just delicious. Veggies looked and tasted fresh. Just out off the steamer. Pot stickers were perfect. Everything tasted like HOME COOKED and not a fast food at all. The portions were very GENEROUS. Customer service was exceptional. Even though it was a lunch time and there was a line (moved fast), it took a blink of an eye to order the meal and pay. I really enjoy it today. Thank you guys very much. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the previous experience (1 star)

I would call to give the kitchen my feedback but this was actual dogshit. I just spent 64 dollars on the dancing eel roll, Thai green curry, seafood miso soup, soft shell crab, and king salmon roll. Not fucking worth it, not a single thing. Firstly, all of the food was thrown into the bag with ZERO care. Soup leaking into the bottom of the bag turned sideways. Soft shell crab was completely upside down in the bag. And rolls were also on their side. Secondly, one of these cooks left their male pattern baldness all over my food. Softshell crab, salmon roll, AND the dancing eel roll had hairs on them. I understand being frustrated with bad genetics or age but that doesn't mean you gotta drop it on my food so I can deal with it too! Third, both of the sushi rolls we got were dry as all HELL as if they were left out for hours. I got food poisoning from Nagoya from the last time I got sushi and was hoping for something better and was severely disappointed. I'd honestly choose the food poisoning and decent sushi over whatever the fuck I got from this place. I'm known for eating whatever will fill my stomach regardless of how sketchy, but I couldn't finish anything I ordered from this place. I'm honestly shocked I didn't vomit into the curry but that honestly could have made it more tolerable. I kept on trying something else PRAYING that it would taste better than the last. It didn't. Crab tasted like unfiltered fryer. The orange in the side salad was alright, although that also had a hair on it.

Im talking bare minimum. The service was great and all the employees that I spoke with were nice. Answered all of my questions. The restaurant looks as I would hope for good Chinese food. The best Chinese food places are run down looking that I have experienced. But the food?? The fried rice has to be the worst I have eaten. The egg rolls were the same. But, I did love the crunch on the egg roll. The sweet and sour sauce tasted like strawberry jelly if thats possible. My Almond Chicken, dry as all hell. The breading was pretty decent. The gravy saved the chicken and made it edible. But for Montanan, its probably the best here. The deluxe dinner with shrimp? They just weren't right. That plate came with chow mein and there was just veggies, no meat. Like a previous review mentioned, the best thing about the dinner was the Ice Cream. The cash or check only took me by surprise. No signage on the door. But I had cash so it wasn't a big deal. I just like to know ahead of time. For a small business I would love for them to succeed. But I just dont know. I guess the locals really love this place though? Maybe thats all they know is "white people" Chinese food.
