You wouldn't expect a good service from a buffet place, would you? But that's exactly what I got. The cashier was friendly (and was super helpful to the guy in front of me who had problem with his check) and the wait staff continuously check on me when they saw my water was almost gone. The food was good; there were sushi, ribs, Mongolian grill, many varieties of chicken, soup, salad and desserts. I like that they have both tables and booths. The booths offer more privacy of me stuffing my face, but the tables make it easier to go in and out.

BBQ pork ribs (I think) and fried rice, along with whole cooked shrimp.

I must say I adore this restaurant. The food is fresh, hot, and widely varied. I've been there twice and was able to discover new things each time which is wonderful. Love their bao pork buns, so soft. And nothing I've had was too greasy, as sometimes things like fried rice or lo mein can be. The staff are always polite and diligent, and the price for lunch is around $12 which is insane. Ironically that means it's better to come during the weekday cuz it's packed during the weekend Will go here as often as possible!

Lunch service was bad today first time since I been there in a while and a bug was crawling in my food. I couldn't even eat anymore totally lost my appetite. And they didn't even offer me back my money never going back

First time eating at this buffet the food is fresh and so worth the price the worker are so friendly and nice

First time eating at this buffet Very good food and great customer service so worth what your paying for

Deep fried snow crab, shrimp,  etc

I paid just over $18 at this Chinese AYCE buffet. You pay upon entering, and they seat you. The buffet is huge. There is a regular buffet area, along with a dessert area. They have a large selection of Chinese and other Asian foods. They also have a small mix of Mexican and American food. I ate mostly the deep fried head-on shrimp and the char siu pork ribs. The shrimp was crispy on the outside with a nice seasoning that tasted more Cajun than Chinese. The pork ribs were on the thin side, but you could get as much as you wanted. The flavor was perfect. I tried the deep fried crab legs. The flavor was similar to the deep fried shrimp, but it was much more of a chore to eat. I also tried the bao and dumplings. They were also good. The staff is continually roaming the area to fill the trays and to make sure your soda, or water, is filled. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely come back to try other items.

How does this place have like 4 stars on google! This place is horrible! I asked for some crackers for the soup and they haven't brought any out. All the mats are not good and the chow mein and rice is gross. At least the donuts are good.

Price is decent, I do prefer pacific to this but in the middle of town, this is a good choice. I don't crave it but when I want a bunch of food for a decent price, this is a go to for me.

I was at the window looking at the taped on paper menu and a guy tapped me and asked me if I was in line.... I said yeah, (I mean it was obvious since I was at the window) and I kid you not... he goes Well you better get in line. And sure enough, he shoved his way in front of me to order. So bizarre cuz there was only 1 other guy behind him. I guess he had no manners and needed to be first! Just a super off the wall crowd piled up all around waiting on their food. Another car pulled up to park with his music blasting so loud that the bass was vibrating his car, the sidewalk. It was all terrible. I only stayed because it had such good reviews and another lady told me it was awesome. It's basically a hole in the wall but actually it's a window in the wall. It's a brick bldg w a small window that you talk and order thru. The staff was nice to me and clarified whether I wanted fries w my jalapeño's wings, which I did not, so she saved me $4 bucks. I ordered the #5, all chicken but it had so much breading and very little chicken. Some of the chicken was really stiff like either grissel or just dried out. The number 5 is orange chicken and sweet n sour chicken. With lo mein noodles and friend rice. $22.99.... if you just get 1 entree, it's $20...so might as well try 2 choices. I've got a super bad stomachache from eating about 6 pieces of chicken and 2 spoons of rice. I also got the jalapeño's wings due to the reviews. They are actually excellent and greasy jalapeño's flavor and chicken cooked well. 2 stars for wings but -2 for the heavily breaded other chicken entrees w barely any chicken. At home, I pulled all the breading off and it's really pathetic that it's 7/8 breading and 1/8 chicken. I didn't see any non fried / breaded chicken and it didn't seem like a good idea to order pork or shrimp from here. I'm sorry I didn't see the review recommendation for hot spicy chicken and I didn't see it on the menu. But it's a full big page menu. I basically wanted to choose from combo so I could get rice and noodles. I will agree that it's big portions of all of it. I'm basically going to eat the rice and noodles w my own chicken cutlet for work lunches. And I'll give the chicken out of the breading to the stray cats. I waited 50 minutes for my order, which was fine with me cuz I'm aware it's popular. But dang, it's a wild place.

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing.

They come with your entree, soup, chow mein, rice, a crab ragoon, and an egg roll. I ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp and it was delicious. It had a slight kick, bit it wasn't too spicy. The shrimp was cooker perfectly, mot rubbery. My favorite was the egg drop soup, it had tofu in it and it was addictive. I definitely recommend checking George and Sons out!

To be clear, I am a New Yorker and know good fast Chinese food. The ambiance was promising. It looked like I was finally going to find what I've been looking for in Phoenix for years. For whatever reason, Chinese restaurants in Arizona serve egg hockey pucks and cover it with various items and call it egg foo young. I even asked about it before I ordered it. Alas when I got home and saw what I had, I was disappointed. It's faster to make it this way but the egg hockey puck had no taste - zero. They could have at least added oyster sauce, a little soy sauce, maybe nam plah, and perhaps sesame oil. It was tasteless. A complete miss. I also ordered something simple, shrimp spring rolls. They were delicious! I inhaled them and will order them again. I'd go again just for the spring rolls. Maybe they have other dishes that are good and I may not entirely give up but the egg foo young is a no go.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

We had booked bar seating in the back room, which is a bit smaller than the front dining area, but cozy Carly was our server/bartender and she was extremely friendly and explained how everything worked. The menu was split into three portions, North, South and collaborations. They'll explain every addition detail to you if you like. As many had mentioned how good the mango salad is, we pretty much had to order that. I didn't realize it would have nice chunks of shrimp in it, that was a fantastic surprise. We also ordered the crab curry, and that was both of our favorite dishes.- it is served with a big bowl of sticky rice, Yum! The other dish we ordered was a noodle with pork, and those noodles were so creatively tasty. Very good. They don't have a set wine list, they have a QR code on the menu since their wines changed so often but most glasses were $15-$17 each they had a nice Sauvignon Blanc and my husband went for the Thai beer Lovely experience!
