    The amazing hostess with the Mostest!!!
    Paul K.

    It's hard to believe I find such amazing Asian and Oriental cuisine here in Auburn New York at a buffet that's under $15 a person for all you can eat drink.. It's like a dream come true in culinaryland.

    This was my 2nd plate. Sushi. Almond cookies. Pepper chicken. Rangoons

    Very good Chinese and Japanese Restaurant. The service was okay, and "poop" word written as an ice cream flavor was very funny!

    Are there 0 stars to rate this place? Not what I would rave about. Chinese Max in the Fingerlakes Mall has better food.

    Some of the food is over cooked and sits out to long depending on the time of day you go.

    Locals recommended this restaurant when I asked about Chinese buffet. We hadn't had buffet for…read more3yrs, since Covid19. We were happy with the Flaming Grill. It is a HUGE place, but it was lightly visited while we were there at 5pm on a Thursday. There were ~5 islands of hot food, 1 of cold w salads, a sushi area, an icecream novelty case, 4-6 soups. There was a Hibatchi area in back corner but I didn't try it. There were many types of breaded, fried, sauced chicken...all a bit dried out. The coconut shrimp was a little dried out. The green beans were tasty but limp. The rice noodles were a bit plain. I did not try the fish nor roast beef. BF said the pork was dry but good. But the SHELLFISH was really exceptional. Clams of different sizes, muscles in sauce, cold shrimp, hot shrimp, shrimp boil. My BF was like a bear in honey! Everything was clean but the place smelled oddly of petroleum? Service was quick and we felt relaxed. The bill was OK. Yes, we will come here again, when in the mood for Chinese buffet!

    So I visited on a Wednesday evening hoping that with dinner pricing they would have steak available…read moreon the hibachi and that was not part of the offering tonight. The food was just okish at 5pm and it was really dead in there. The staff is friendly and the food some cold I. The steam trays. All in all this visit wasn't as good as one on the weekend. The ambiance is not bad for a buffet but the tables are starting to show their age and mismatched silverware is a little boho. All in all it was ok for some Chinese. It was $18.99 for dinner. I had a 10% coupon. Still a little left to be desired. I love the photos posted of the dine and dash people. It's fun to look at but sad that it happens.

    We are probably here about every other month. I wouldn't say that it's the best buffet in the…read moreworld, but being inside the casino, it is nicer than the family buffet restaurants, and much cleaner. And it's the nicest place to eat in the casino. It's fairly expensive at $21.95 for dinner per person. You get $3 off that with your Lucky North card, and I also had an offer on my card for another $7 off. We also cashed in our points that were on our card to save a few more dollars, so we paid $30 total for the two of us, with non alcoholic drinks included. I'm vegetarian, and there's a lot of options for me. Off the top of my head, there's pizza, garlic sticks, salad, macaroni salad, soft pretzel sticks, fried mac and cheese, baked potatoes, rolls, spring rolls, and a make your own pasta station. Now, of all of that, the macaroni salad and the pretzel stick were good. The rest was just ok. There was also pimento macaroni and cheese, but I really didn't like that. And I didn't do the pasta station this time, but that is usually good. Like all buffets, it changes, so everything isn't available each time you go. On the dessert bar, there is an Oreo pie that I really like. I usually go get that first to make sure I get a piece, lol. Of the whole buffet, that is the one thing that I truly like. Everything is ok, but nothing is amazing. The pie is really good though. My husband is not vegetarian, and he is really why we come here. There's a much bigger selection for him, and I know he had prime rib. That was probably all he needed to be happy. :) I just found out that they have a brunch until 3pm on the weekends. I would prefer that, so we'll try to go earlier and get brunch next time.

The tables weren't being cleared off and staff were walking in and out of the kitchen without taking in any dirty dishes. People were piling their plates on tables that were empty but not cleared. Made the atmosphere feel dirty and not very pleasant. We will go again because the food is good and it is convenient when stopping at the casino. They need more staff like Joy to keep things moving b

Nice inside, clean and various booth and table options with comfortable chairs. Decently priced. Very Americanized versions of dishes and I found nothing was spicy enough for my liking. The General Tso's chicken was very sweet. The lo mein lacked flavor and veggies. They did have sushi and a hibachi section which add to the variety and overall appeal. The bathrooms were spacious and very clean.

    Customer Feedback…read more The reason I'm leaving this feedback is because our host, Sunny, was very respectful, kind, and welcoming. Everything was clean, and the food was served hot. However, our waitress, Lisa, was very disrespectful and unprofessional. When we were speaking to her, she would walk away, and her attitude came across as rude. She was also very quiet but had a smart mouth when responding to us. We did not appreciate the way we were treated. We understand that everyone can have a bad day, but customers should still be treated with respect and professionalism. If someone does not want to work, no one is forcing them to, but that should not result in customers receiving poor treatment. We hope Lisa understands how her behavior made us feel and takes this feedback seriously. We truly appreciate Sunny for being kind and respectful and hope management recognizes the difference in our experience.

    We went in at about 3:30pm Saturday (odd day as we missed lunch and were hungry for an early…read moredinner.) Open sign was lit / door unlocked and We were greeted promptly as we walked in. There was no one else in the restaurant but I didnt think much of it as this is an off time to eat a meal. We were seated with menus, promptly provided with water and a fried noodle snack dish. I asked for a menu in Chinese (Mandarin) as English is my Chinese Wife's second language but was told they did not have one (NP most American-Chinese restaurants do not but is worth asking i.e. The Red Chili restaurant in the same area provides a traditional Chinese menu). As soon as I started to order, the server interrupted me and told me that the cook had left on an errand and would not be back for at least 30 minutes and asked us if we mind waiting; she did offer to make some appetizers herself but there was enough uncertainly to cause us to decline and leave. My wife use to own a restaurant in Changchun (China) she agreed that the first bad decision was advertising they are open with no chef, the second silly decision was to wait so long before telling us. There are a lot of good reviews so might give it a second try at a different time.
