    Green tea
    Deb F.

    This was a different experience for us but we liked it. Currently they only have their buffet open a couple days a week. What they had going on on a Monday evening was what they called bites. Smaller portions of a select menu for a low price. For 2.99-5.99 you could pick out dishes from soups, salads, spring rolls to noodles, rice and chicken, beef, shrimp and pork dishes. When we first walked in we were wowed by the vastness of the entry which sported decor along with water and fish and a long bar. Then stepping into the buffet area showed the largest buffet I have ever seen. There was no food out but I can imagine what it looks like when it is operating. We were there on a Monday night when they were offering "bites". With a limited menu there were appetizers, soups and salads and some dishes with beef, chicken, pork or seafood. Also to order was white or vegetable rice, noodles and a few desserts plus beverages. Prices were 1.99-5.99. We were given a sheet of menu items to check off what we wanted. Entrees we're about 1/2 the size as normal. We ordered green tea, spring rolls, chicken meatballs, vegetable rice, steamed vegetables and black pepper steak and General Taos Chicken and hot and sour soup. Everything we ordered was tasty and we even took out with us rice and vegetables and a spring roll. The General Taos was crunchy with the expected heat, the black pepper steak had large slices of thin cut tender pieces of steak in a pleasant sauce. The chicken rolls were a surprise as we were expecting ground chicken that was fried with a coating. We saw a table next to us order them so thought we would try them. But it was actual pieces of chicken coated and fried and they were perfect balls topped with a sweet sauce. The spring rolls were vegetable and they seemed mushy but tasted good and came with its own sweet/sour sauce. I added my steamed vegetables to my other dishes over the vegetable fried rice. I have Berber had fried rice like this before. It was a dark brown, maybe fro soy source? But it did not taste salty. It had mixed vegetables unit with a little heavier on the corn side. But we liked it. The hot and sour soup was a generous bowl sized and the tea also came in a generous size China tea pot with a little round cup. We were offered hot was clothes when we finished our meal. It has been a lot of years since that has been offered. I would give a 3 star in the food but the hospitality of the wait staff was exceptional with friendly and happy attitudes. If I lived there I would happily go back and would be interested in how their buffet looks.

    If you like plain and bland, get ready for exceptionally plain and bland. Undercooked wontons with tasteless soup. Overcooked spring rolls, my vomiting child and a hostess who assumed she was overwhelmed by the excitement of a 60 something plus crowd. The only item that offered anything with flavour was the peppered beef. That was at least. 2.5. At least if they offered a buffet, I could have drowned my sorrows in gluttony. Just under $50 for a sad and pathetic meal that the server was happy to accept my tip and watch me leave. I'll never ever visit here again.

    Amazing buffet style restaurant with such a great food selection and great service. I loved cucumber salad and beets so much. They have very delicious mashed potato and steak Such a huge selection of desserts and fruits. Everything is so fresh and so tasty. I wish there were such restaurants in Texas as well. Definitely a place to check out.

    Authentic Chinese restaurant with fast service and friendly staff. The place was open and bright…read more We ordered: Xin Jiang BBQ Cabbage (3.5/5) which was full of flavour from the cumin, Sichuan pepper, star anise etc. The cabbage was crunchy and fresh. It could use a bit more char. Szechuan Fish Fillet in Peppercorn Chilli Soup (4/5) which had tender and perfectly poached fish fillets. We wish it was spicier but otherwise this dish was tasty and full of fragrant spices. Egg & Chive Pancakes (4/5) was packed with filling and the pancake had a really crispy texture on the outside but soft on the inside. It had glass noodles inside as well. It has a faint aromatic flavour that wasn't too overpowering. We poured some of the Szechuan peppercorn chilli soup inside too which tied in all the flavours together.

    Definitely authentic Chinese food. We went for lunch but was told it ended at 2pm (we were 5…read moreminutes late apparently)... So we ordered off the regular menu. A sampling of various dishes. The Dim Sum items we ordered (3) were excellent, but the Spicy Beef dish was very mediocre. The beef was tough and dried out... With way too much cilantro... Honestly not very good, nor was the portion very large for the $23 price. I also ordered a steamed rice which was hard and frankly tasted like a packet of Uncle Ben's Minute Rice. Service was quite slow considering the place only had 3 tables including ours. Overall I would not come back... Price was very high, at $66 before tip, for what we got and really not very good. Won't go back.
