Absolutely Fantastic!…read more This is hands down one of the best Chinese buffet restaurants I've ever been to! From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional--everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. It really made the experience feel special. The food was incredible. I especially loved the lemon cream shrimp--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The chicken dishes were tender and delicious, the cream cheese wontons were crispy and packed with creamy goodness, and the beef was cooked just right. Every bite was fresh and satisfying. On top of all that, the place was spotlessly clean, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in what they do. I'll definitely be coming back--and bringing friends with me! Highly recommend!

My history with this establishment is a masterclass in disappointment, a decade-spanning saga of…read moredishonesty that I feel compelled to share. It began years ago on a Mother's Day, a celebration with my entire family--my wife, our four kids, and my mother. While the rest of us ordered from the menu, my mother opted for the buffet. The meal itself was a preview of the incompetence to come: reheated food with that distinct microwave sogginess and a pervasive smell of harsh chemical cleaner that clung to the takeout containers we requested for leftovers. The most memorable moment was when my youngest, barely a year old, nibbled on one of my mother's buffet donuts, and the owner's son, about seven at the time, ran screaming toward the kitchen--a foreshadowing of the chaos this place inspires. The true spectacle arrived with the bill. Not only had they charged us for our menu items, but they had the audacity to charge all six of us, including the children, for the adult buffet. When questioned, the staff who had perfectly understood our complex order suddenly couldn't speak a word of English. We told them exactly what we thought of their scam by never returning. A decade later, my son, nostalgic for a childhood he's misremembered, begged to celebrate a chess victory there. Reluctantly, I agreed. While he was away from the table, the lady owner accosted me at the booth, demanding to know why we'd been absent for so long. I looked her dead in the eye and said, "It's prime supper time on a Friday night, and you have two customers. We told you we didn't like being ripped off; we told you with our feet." Now, with that son grown and moved out, I made the fatal mistake of giving them one final chance. Some things never change. The food was as mediocre as ever, but the audacity had been refined into an art form. I was billed for sixteen wontons and received a paltry four. When I called to rectify the mistake, the same delivery service they proudly advertise suddenly became unavailable. They can deliver your food, but they can never, ever deliver on their promises. A perfect record of failure spanning ten years is almost impressive. Save your money and your dignity; this is a place that sees customers not as guests, but as marks.

My big mistake was deciding I needed a combo and adding brisket (after being talked out of pulled pork as the waiter said it was "ok on a sandwich, but boring on it's own". The ribs were good, but certainly not amazing as I heard them described and I thought the portion was small for the price. The menu said that they were rubbed, but they didn't have much rub taste. Just OK. The brisked, on the other hand, was simply not real brisket. I've have pot roasts at my grandma's house that tasted less like roast beef that this slab of meat did. Yes, it was VERY tender. But there was absolutely no BBQ flavor to it. No smokiness, no woodfire grill essence, just no true brisket taste. It tasted like it was steamed or maybe boiled in a crock pot. The pickles were awesome.

Now don't get me wrong, some of the food isn't too bad but the quality could be so much better. The restaurant looks cheap and it smells bad, which gives me bad vibes about what their kitchen must look like. Also, who the hell charges someone for their 2 year old to eat?! Maybe that's common and I'm not a cheap bastard but it just seems to be in poor taste in my opinion.

Sadly, it's terrible and the worst possible dining experience I've had in years. Despite arriving…read moreat opening, the food on the buffet was cold. And by cold, I mean uncooked hash browns, room temp. sausage. The guy cooking omelets either didn't have the right pans or didn't know how to cook them, so... scrambled eggs. The buffet setup is such that you go through the line, loading your plate and then get to to the omelet and waffle station. Then you wait in the back corner of the room for 3-4 minutes or more waiting for your order. So... your food gets colder. To get syrup or rock-hard butter, you have to cut back into the line. The syrup bottle has a stopper so it's a trickle coming out... as your waffle gets cold. Other buffet items -- chicken seemed leftover and rewarmed, coffee cake was tasteless and dry, dessert bar was rock hard and stale. Self-serve beverages -- lukewarm coffee and juice in cans. To sum it up, cold and uncooked food, no service other than a staffer clearing plates. No proper food safety measures like sneeze guards or individual silverware were present. The staff was disorganized, poorly trained and provided zero service -- not even coffee or water. This was not worth the $20 we each paid, it was more terrible than the worst hotel breakfast I've ever had. We're a local group of 5 who truly wanted to support a local business, but we won't be back and can't recommend.
