    A hole in the wall buffet. Food was amazing and service was friendly. The buffet selection doesn't have much variety but the quality makes up for that. All in all, give it a try you won't regret it.

    Lamb shank

    Quaint single family owned restaurant that serves all you can eat buffet style Mediterranean food. The selection isn't the biggest but the food quality was excellent. Went on a Sunday evening and they have a salad bar and protein bar with two types of basmati rice, three types of chicken, gyro meat and grilled veggies. They also have tea you can ask for that's absolutely floral and heart warming free of charge. You can ask for a lamb shank for an extra fee of $12 and it's huge and falls off the bone. Highly recommend their smoked rotisserie chicken, combination basmati rice, rice pudding, meatball/chickpea stew and cucumber yogurt sauce. Overall Service 9/10 Food 7/10 Cleanliness 7/10

    The buffet
    Ana P.

    This place is great, a true hidden gem. I pass this place all the time and cant believe I never stopped by. This place has all you can eat buffet but also offer a la carte and take-out service. This place is small and humble but the food is amazing. The decor is outdated but dont let that fool you because that does not keep people from coming to eat here. I went on a saturday morning and the place was busy when i walked in. I got a table so no problem but as time went on i keep seeing more and more people walk in and all the tables were full. When the tables got full people would leave their name on the wait list for a table and before i left around 2pm there were maybe 4 people on that list. This place seems to be a social gathering place for the community because many people walking in would recognize a random person from a different table and they would say hi shake hands and some of them would even sit down with them to eat. Right before the place got wait listed several individuals would come into the restaurant and would sit wherever there was an open seat. Example I was by myself in a table with 3 open chairs and i had 2 random people who i never seen before sit down with me to eat. I only experience that in some restaurants outside of the us but honestly I kind of like it that way because you can get to know other people and their culture better by doing that. That day i went i probably saw 3 other tables of families have two complete strangers sit with them because there was no other room to sit. I think that is kinda cool but if its not your thing you ben warned. From what I saw the popular drink of choice is hot tea but they have drinks in cans from the fridge in the back. No fountain drinks so keep that in mind also no facemask or social distancing at the time of this review in the time of Covid october 2021. There was only one waitress in the whole restaurant and she was also the cashier so bring your understanding that she is doing her best to take care of everyone. Parking is free just find any spot in the parking lot but some businesses have a 'customer only' parking signs so watch out for those. The restaurant is closed on sundays so plan ahead. The food itself was tasty and well seasoned. The variety may not be the biggest but it makes up for it by how fresh it is made right there infront of you. You can see ino the kitchen from anywhere in the restaurant and you see the chefs making and grilling everything, the food goes straight from the stove to the buffet trays. The day I went the restaurant was constantly busy that food keept being made so it was always fresh and never dried out from sitting under the heat lamps like in other places. They have 2 kinds of rice, they have chicken, beef and two kinds of soup. I am not sure what each item was called because they have no lables on anything so if you have food allergies or cant eat certain things i would suggest coming here with caution on that department. Looking at previous reviews it looks like the restaurant changes its menu from time to time but i ate at the buffet so at this time I cannot confirm the items available. Also for one adult the buffet was $13.99 plus tax and it seems that is the everyday price, I think that is fair compare to how much other buffets charge that have more food choices.

    From my corner spot facing the FRESH buffet.

The place is always full when we're there, but I haven't encountered a wait for seating yet. The interior is a little more casual than other kbbq places I've been to which makes it good for a less formal meal. The grills can be a little slow, but our servers were attentive and changed out the grill plates often to help with optimal cooking. The buffet offers a good selection of bonchon dishes and some preprepared meat options. Although the preprepared meats are good, they aren't as fresh so I'd highly recommend ordering from the grill menu to get the best quality meats!

I brought it to my waiter attended she at first was confused but then let me know that the steam table on the food wasn't working. So definitely decided to server cold food verses just have hot food in the back of house keeping the food hot and bringing it when requested. I paid $26 with tip to have an experience not worth the price. I was told when I was leaving not satisfied with my experience that the hot food is now hot I was told by the front desk lady!!! I was already there for an hour waiting. So I got screwed over on the experience. Please do better

They're known for their absolutely fantastic lunch and dinner buffet with prices that are hard to beat, especially in this economy! I don't eat there in person often, but it's one of our top go-to spots for takeout/delivery. I swear it's just as good delivered to your doorstep as it is at the restaurant itself. They really know how to securely pack up a to-go order, I'll tell you that. I know we don't live far away, but still. It always arrives piping hot. Besides the obvious and ever-beloved chicken tikka masala (insanely good), I'm a big fan of their Mulligatawny Mughlai Soup (lentil soup with rice and chicken). It's super savory with a little lemony brightness. Ultra comfort food! We're also big fans of their veggie biryani: super fragrant basmati rice all dolled up with fresh veggies, paneer, raisins, and almonds. We also love their Bombay potatoes (spicy potatoes with mustard seed) and their Chana Masala Punjabi: spicy chick peas, potatoes, and onions in a tomato and onion gravy. How good does that sound?!

I love the variety of Hong Kong style items, the seafood options, noodles, rice and so much more. Enjoyed their egg drop soup, roasted duck noodles and fried rice. I recently brought the family here and they loved the hot and sour soup, flat noodles and fish fillet with Chinese broccoli. While it's not a place I'll come solo, it's a wonderful restaurant for family and friend bonding. The building is old, but it feels nostalgic. Decor and the fish tank remind me of authenticity and pulls me back to a time where I was raised.

    Okay so I am going to start with the good...super fun setup with the revolving sushi conveyor belt…read morethat brings a variety of choices right by your table. They had a sign that had a name and brief description of each item. Then, behind it would be about three plates. If that description sounds like an item you would like, you just grab the plate off of the belt. The plates are color-coded by price so you know how much you're spending per plate. This concept would be great if you have not tried a lot of sushi and you want to try different things/ options/ combinations. More on the not so positive side... I would say the rolls are average size to smaller than most places I have been... and I do not think that they're as flavorful. On that note, we did not pick any roles that we did not like. We tried all different kinds of things and then ordered from the kiosk at the table and a cool delivery train brings it by the table on a different top track. So Fun!! Our favorite thing we got were the Sesame balls & the tiny crème brûlée at the end. I liked the tropical shrimp one (had mango) and would have gotten a second round but they never had anymore on the belt and I couldn't find it on the kiosk tablet on the table. I tried to get photos of signs and plates we grabbed. I have a few videos too.

They worked incredibly hard and weren't the problem. Management set them up to fail. The restaurant had a strong sewage smell, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. The sushi was very bland and honestly tasted like almost nothing. The plate intake machine wasn't working, only half the restaurant was open, and everything felt disorganized. They really need a digital waitlist system and, most importantly, more staff. I feel bad for the employees because they were doing their best. I hope management gives them the support they deserve.
