    Health hazard most of the food is old and smells horrible. As soon as we walked in I got a whif of a bad smell but I ignored it and now we are in here and most of the food is old and inedible. How is This place still open Also service is bad waiter spilled food off the plate she was taking and she just left it and walked away. Never once got offered a refill. 0/10

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Paid 125 for my wife and I and 3 kids. All the food is old and stale. Crab is inedible. I feel completely ripped offed Don't come here trust me I wish I could give this place another bad review I'm so pissed

    My dad passed last week and Friday was his bday. My family decided to celebrate him by going to his favorite an Asian buffet. He loved in the bay area. So he didn't get a chance to eat here You pay first and they currently have paper plates to use. They ask you use the trash can to clean plate and reuse. They also have gloves available. Our favorite items was the array of sushi. Most buffet sushi can be weird and this was pretty tasty. I also enjoyed the fried shrimp and the pepper chicken. My kids tried crawfish for the first time and liked it. There are quite a variety of items. My only issues were what looked like honey walnut shrimp, seemed like maybe it sat out for a while because the texture and they don't devien their shrimp items. Besides that, everything was tasty and we were happy for the ice cream station.

I usually get takeout, but I sit and wait for the food in the lobby and its always quiet and relaxing. I only had a problem once, I have a severe non-anaphylactic allergy and somehow an allergen got into my to-go food. I went in person the next day to let them know and the staff was very apologetic and even gave me some egg flour soup which was very kind of them and a big help to my recovery. I never went online to tell anyone because honestly, mistakes happen we're only human, plus they have warnings up, so I know the risk I take when I eat there. Its family owned which makes it great to support especially during corporate protest blackouts when you only want to supports local small businesses. Overall, great experience, highly recommend and I will continue to eat here.

The noodles were not bad at all the egg drop soup was awesome and vegetable egg roll was good my problem was with the chicken I asked what kind of meat it was they said white so I ordered it but it was not so did not even eat it. Nothing worse than asking a question and not getting the right information so you can make an informed decision. As soon as they brought it out I said something and they didn't even offer to fix it

The restaurant is nestled in the cute downtown area of Hughson, their main street. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. We were there on a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, but the restaurant was packed with customers. The menu has an extensive selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes. I had the Bruce Li roll which had tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. I also 2 pieces of the Hamachi (yellowtail), miso soup, and spicy edamame. The fish was some of the freshest I've ever had - flavorful, definitely sushi grade, and I could tell that it also wasn't previously frozen due to the color and texture. The miso soup and the spicy edamame were well-seasoned and delicious. My nephew had a combination plate with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One thing to note that was really nice is that the restaurant allows you to create your own combination plates, they're not set items with no substitutions. When our waitress brought my nephew's combo plate, the food looked freshly cooked and delicious! He ate every bite! If you're ever in Hughson, try the Hughson Asian Kitchen - the friendly staff and tasty food won't disappoint!

This restaurant is off of Mitchell, which is a busy street, so it is easy to get to. It is part of a large shopping center so lots of parking. The restaurant itself it pretty spacious and has lot of seating. Could very well accommodate a larger group. We were greeted and seated right away. The lady that seated us was very pleasant and met us at the table with iced water and our menus. We ordered: 1. Thai teas: refreshing and delicious. 2. House Special: came with fried shrimp, fried broccoli, Laos sausage, fried chicken, beef jerky and fried egg roll. All fried to perfection and a great plate to purchase to appease most palates. 3. Large sticky rice: which is a must! 4. Laos papaya salad (mild): this comes with 6 Thai chilies and was perfect heat. It comes with a side of fresh cabbage. It was all the things we needed the salad to be. The sauce was dark in color, salty and that danky goodness! 5. Laos sausage: ordered this on accident because I didn't realize there was some sausage that came on the house special platter which was fine because we knew we were taking stuff home. 6. Crispy pork belly: marinated perfectly and fried to perfection. Dipping sauce complimented it well. So much food and I believe the bill came in under $90. A good amount of food, delicious and filling. Glad we stumbled upon this place and don't think it will be our last visit!

    Had lunch here while working in Modesto because it was nearby my location. Pretty disappointing…read moreChinese but the price for the amount of food was great. We called in an order for pick up, when I got there 15 minutes later it was ready and waiting. The 2 combo plates probably weighed 4 lbs in the bag. I honestly have no idea but it was hefty. The gentleman who helped me was also very nice and prompt. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster. My orange chicken was miles away from crispy and the sauce was kind of bland. Also the chicken itself had that gross old chicken flavor that usually only comes from reheated chicken. The chow mein was also pretty bland. They did give chili sauce and soy sauce with the order, and adding those 2 things in spades did help with the lack of flavor. The cheese puffs were also disappointing. There was a good amount of crab in them, which is unusual for cheese puffs, however, the wrapper was thick and not crispy at all, mostly chewy, so all the enjoyable texture you expect wasn't there. My spouse had a combo with fried rice, beef & broccoli, and fried prawns. He liked it well enough but agreed it was pretty mediocre. The fried rice was pretty good but the beef & broccoli left a lot to be desired. In spite of the so so food, it's such a great price that it may be worth it to you. If you need a lot of food for not a lot of money, and you don't have high quality standards, this place will definitely take care of you.
