Overview facing front entrance from rear of restaurant.
David G.

We were seated quickly upon arrival. The restaurant itself appeared clean, as did the restroom facilities. The buffet itself was immediately impressive with a very wide selection of foods and in particular a small sampling of sushi rolls stood out in its own section as well as a dessert bar & ice cream cooler. The food was good, our server seemed to be juggling most of the room but did a good job on collecting used plates and topping off our soft drinks, because they prefer not to have customers use the soda fountain directly. Pricing was decent. Around $5 for our little kids, $8 for our bigger kids and $14 for adults + soft drinks charges. For 2 adults and 3 paying kids, we paid about $65 (without tip) for the all you can eat buffet and soft drinks. My wife loves sushi, and seemed satisfied with the quality of their selections in particular. We will likely visit them again in the future.

The food cannon! Made with egg rolls, friend rice, chicken nuggets, and crab Rangoon

It was great! Chicken nuggets were crispy, crab Rangoon was juicy, and egg rolls were loaded! I only recommend this place if you're a big eater (Unlike me) as of the high price of $15 per person, and $2.25 for a soft drink.

Here is the rice.

To begin, as soon I as walked in with my 2 grandchildren, we were not greeted kindly at all, "How many?" Is all that the waitress said. After I told the lady "3", she walked us to our table, threw the silverware down then finished with, "Drinks?" I replied with, "Just water please and thank you." And as I began to say something else, she walked away without saying anything, so bad service to start. I shook it off, then we sat our stuff down, then walked up to the buffet. Nothing was bad about when we were getting our food, and all the counters appeared to be clean, and same with the dishes and silverware. Except when I was getting my rice, there wasn't a lot left, so the man behind the counter waited till I was done and then went to refill it, but I noticed I=he didn't have a hair cap, then I left behind the counter, towards the kitchen, and none of the other cooks had a hair nets, but I didn't think much of it. We got our food then sat down, said our prayer like we always did then started eating. I just got white rice and honey chicken to start, and it was so good I will admit, but what happens next makes me wish I never went there to begin with. We ate all our food and went back to the buffet for seconds, again everything was clean and no problem with getting our food. This time I got the same thing, except 2 pot stickers on the side. My granddaughter got the same thing as me, and the other made her own salad at the salad bar. We sat down to eat and everything was very good, I was full so I was just looking around and talking to my girls, when I stopped my granddaughter because she when pulled up her fork, there was a long hair covered in ranch that she almost ate! I didn't want to cause a scene so I just told her before she ate it and then we put a napkin over it. Then my other granddaughter saw a black curly piece of hair on her pot sticker! At this point I was done and wanted to leave, but they were still hungry and wanted dessert so I had to deal with the thought of everyone in the restaurant eating hair from the cooks. And I did stop to think if it was our hair but I'm a brunette and they are both blonde, plus we all have naturally straight hair. My granddaughter continued to her plate of rice and chicken, and because of what happened she was picking at it and keeping a close eye at every bite, until she gently set her fork down and pushed the plate away, "I am not hungry anymore." She said, and I can't blame her, we were all disgusted, each plate we had, had hair. We paid for it then left, $44 for what felt like hairballs on each plate. I understand some reviews are fake, but not this one, I even have evidence. I hope this is convincing enough for you to not visit here because personally I am so disgusted and I can almost guarantee we all ate hair before noticing, don't waste your time and money at the place, TRUST ME.

Sushi was really fresh

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - quite typical of a Chinese buffet with some "sushi" items, different options for protein, soups, a lot more fried food than usual, and some dessert.

While the name might be confusing to some, and the location is easy to miss if you don't pay…read moreattention, this is the best Chinese fare you can get without having to travel far to have it. The prices are pretty typical of any Chinese place, but the food is exceptional and the owners, a husband and wife team (he cooks and she handles the ordering window) are very kind and courteous people, and it isn't hard to become a regular! (If I place an order she instantly knows who I am, which is a factor I really love!) Their hours are a bit of a shame, only open Monday-Friday (except holidays) and closing fairly early (8:30pm), but their food outweighs that completely. They have no problem if you need an order without vegetables or if you ask for something to be spicy (or even extra spicy). The Sesame Chicken and the Siam Special (I do chicken and no vegetables) are especially delicious! Oh, and their Pork Fried Rice is amazing, too!

This is a mom and pop "to-go" Chinese food establishment. The inside, pre-Covid, was adequate…read moreenough to seat maybe 6 tables but is now just a bare room with a walk-up window to place your order. From ordering, our order was ready in about 30 minutes; they do recommend calling ahead for better service. The older owner/order taker/cashier was friendly consistent with the heavily decorated Christian ornamentation. The food was definitely not cheap and the portion sizes for the price, I thought were a little on the small side. The food was good tasting and seemed to be made with quality ingredients. We will likely patron them again, though offering a few tables inside to just sit at, even if no extra service was offered, would be nice since the place is a bit of a drive for our family.
