La comida muy rica , variedad y su atención al cliente , muy bueno Es un lugar familiar tranquilo sin tanto ruido

Tim A.

I ran a delivery route in Fernandina about 20 years ago and ate here about once a week. I remember it being pretty good and I was a fan of anything AYCE back then. During Covid they went to take out only and stayed that way until a couple of months ago. There was a big write up in the local news that they were finally opening to the public again and would resume the buffet. My buddy and I were on the island so I mentioned we should check it out. The food on the bar was all fresh, this was a little surprising as it was 2:30 in the afternoon. There were more people than I expected also, maybe 10 or 12 people. What I have begun to notice is that chinese buffets are not the big deal to me that they once were. I would rather have one dish that is really good as opposed to as much as I wanted that was just OK. They did have egg fu yung, not every buffet will take the chance to do this as it gets cold quickly. They limited how much was on the buffet and this kept it fresh. Pecan chicken was probably the best item. It looked like coconut shrimp but I saw it was not and tried it anyway. It was very good. Our drinks were not refilled regularly and we waited far to long for a bill, only to be told that they don't do that, just go to the counter and pay. They do have a full menu and the buffet is only open for lunch. This is a bit misleading and they might consider changing the name.

We have had "take out" from here for several years and I liked it; the last two times though I had to question the meat. My chicken was like soft, spongy strips of something?!? The veggies and the sauce were tasty but thick. My guess would be the meat was coated in cornstarch. I asked on the way out and he said yes, meat seasoned then coated in cornstarch before frying. This then makes the sauce thick and clumpy, the meat soft and spongy. They were closed for Covid and then opened for take out only. About a month ago they started a lunch buffet and though they advertised "eat in", you get your order as a take out and they bring you a plate and silverware...and I was ok with that but not the coated meat. The staff was running around like crazy and friendly but the way they cook their meat changed.

Super doughy wonton.

This was the best service I have ever received in a restaurant! The owner personally welcomed every…read moreguest and took the time to provide a detailed overview of the menu, which made the experience feel very special and personal. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We had the poke bowl with rice tots and the fried pork rice bowl, and both were outstanding. The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. If you're looking for great food and exceptional hospitality, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Fun dining experience during our time on Amelia Island…read more We visited two times over that week, and each one did have varying experiences though. First Visit Service was incredibly speedy! - Wicked Wings (5/5). This was really good. Highly recommend visiting on Wednesday for these - Crispy Pork Chop (4/5). A nice take on a classic HK dish. Sauce wasn't too overbearing and meshed well with the rice - Fried Greens (2/5). This was average. Was nice to have some greens but nothing special - Trio Bao (3/5). Baos were alright - a bit steep pricing wise for 3 baos though - Beef Noodle Soup (4/5). A good hearty bowl of noodle. Some chilli oil on the side would be nice - Octopus (4/5). Was very good. Texture was on point and five spice gave a nice flavor profile - Chicken Satay (3.5/5). Peanut sauce was good. Chicken was moist and flavorable Second Visit: - Chongqing Wings (3/5). This was mid. - Thai Shrimp (3/5). Tasted fresh but way too much sauce over the rice. - Fish Baos (4/5). Good, but nothing memorable - Beef Noodle Soup (4/5). Consistent to first visit - Dumplings (2/5). Not good.
