I'm on crutches and the buffett made it easy to get my food with minimal help. I filled myself up before i even got to the second station! Music was light 80s pop. It was a little chilly and the lights are low. Very pleased!

My bad, I reviewed the wrong one, but I'm sure this location is good too! Here's my review from last year on the other location: I could tell by looking at the photos and reviews on Yelp that this place was going to be wonderful. Thankfully, when we finally gave it a shot, we were not disappointed. Talk about made fresh. Everything was so delicious and freshly prepared. Flavors were spot on. The service was fantastic. They always made sure that our drinks were filled and we had everything that we needed. My absolute favorite dish was the fried green beans with minced pork. Get it with extra minced pork and you'll love it. The steamed dumplings and pancake appetizer are also really good. Highly recommend! They also have clean restrooms with an extra large sink outside the restroom area so you can quickly wash your hands if you don't actually need to use the restroom. Pretty cool. We can't wait to go back for more!

Greasy food, regular service, generous portions, and noisy ambience…read more We came on a busy Sunday evening. We ordered the sizzling pepper steak and the braised beef noodle. After a 30 min wait the food came out. The sizzling pepper steak came out very hot and sizzling but it was incredibly oily. It was well seasoned, but way too oily. After we finished it, there was a puddle of oil remaining. The braised beef noodle was decent, and it was not special in any way. The restaurant was fairly clean, although the tables were packed tightly to fit the most amount of people. Our server was attentive, refilled our water frequently even though the restaurant was packed, and knew both mandarin and English. Overall I was mostly satisfied with the experience, but I would wish the food was less salty and greasy.

The food is great - ordered sweet and sour chicken more times than I can remember. Crab Rangoon is good too. Had these dozens of times and it was always good.

The food: 5 stars always. Great dishes. The service: 1…read morestar. The atmosphere: ZERO STARS! I can appreciate the owners having kids. But...the small dining room is set up like a daycare. TV: timed in to kids programming and loud at any point and time. Kids: the daughter is quite enough. But the son talks out loud....saying what he's seeing on TV....non-stop....and I mean non-stop. And he is loud, fast talking....and oh, did I say loud? And this is how this place was on this visit. Read my other review, where the owner; which was our waiter one time in the past; never put the daughter down; as he took our order or served us. And the daughter was sick and a snotty nose that was snorting around like all get out! Service: They are never organized or attentive at all to the sit in customers. Tables always sit dirty. And if you eliminate the two tables...the owner's kids dominate...I think that only leaves (4) total tables to manage. And I sit there...and see multiple Door Dash orders get messed up and/or take forever. This last time, a Dasher left after waiting forever. The new owners may be nice or well intended. But...they have ruined this place...for all the wrong reasons.

As we pulled away from the window at the drive-through, the lady came out to my car just as I was about to pull out onto the road. I stopped to see what she needed or if we had forgotten anything, she took the food back after he had already eaten a bite. My mom was looking in at the second box in the bag, and there was no one else in line except for us. We were so shocked! I pray they didn't give that to someone else.
