Very welcoming from the moment we stepped in. Our server was super nice, I can't remember her name but she was really pretty & brunette with tats. Awesome service from start to finish! My husband and I ordered the fried cheese sticks to start and we were shocked when she set the basket down. Such a huge portion, which we didn't complain lol hot and super cheese pull! Really yummy! After we scarfed those down we each ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Can I just say... one of the best burgers I've had in a long while!! The bacon crumbles were super smokey and the burger... omgosh so big and juicy! Perfect medium rare cook! Bun held up nicely for such a big burger patty. Loved seeing the crinkle fries! You don't see those often and they're our fave! Cooked golden brown but not overcooked. The only complaint is my husband wasn't a fan of the sweet tea but it didn't ruin the meal by any means. Everything was great and we're glad we walked through those doors. Would definitely stop back in if we ever find ourselves visiting Pikeville for a concert again.

Service was prompt, although there were only 2 other tables seated there around 1pm. We were told to pick any table we wanted, then given the menu once we were seated. Menu pictures are included, I ordered a pink lemonade, hibachi lunch special with the strip steak ordered medium, clear soup, salad and a sushi roll of shrimp with cucumber. Important to note that the rolls that have a slash "/" mean you have to choose between the 2. The ginger dressing on the salad, on top of being quite pale compared to the normal color, was very sweet. I did enjoy it, but first impression wasn't the greatest. The clear soup, unfortunately, was the opposite. It looked delicious, but just tasted like warm water to me. When the waitress asked if I wanted yum yum sauce, I said yes and she brought over the squeeze bottle. Steak was cooked well, I'm thankful that I asked for medium, cause it came a little between medium rare and medium. Just the way I like it. Zucchini was cut quite thick, made it a little difficult to eat the less steamed bits, but the more steamed bits were fine. The rice was in the same situation as the soup. It looked delicious, but was pretty bland. The yum yum sauce helped. Overall, I'd go back if I was in town and hungry, it's certainly not bad. Ordered some to go dishes to try, chicken yakisoba and some fried rice on its own. The chicken was delicious, they really seem to have their meets down pat. The noodles were a little on the dry side, and salty. Rice was the same as in restaurant, kind of bland, need the yum yum sauce to mix into it.

There was just one young man serving. He seemed a little tired and unhappy to be working. But he was polite. My colleague ordered chicken hibachi and I ordered teriyaki salmon bento. My salmon bento came with spring rolls, dumplings and salmon atop some pieces of vegetables. The salmon was cooked perfectly- cooked through yet not dry. The spring rolls were freshly fried- but the contents of it was mushy. Dumplings were eelicious delicious Good for a quick meal.

The owner, chef, waiter, and host was very pleasant. He let us sit at any of the plastic covered tables and was very accommodating with an order request. The food was unique, with slightly different flavors than usual. My husband enjoyed the tanginess of the sauce and the garlic knots were very tasty. We ate spaghetti with meat sauce, baked ziti, and garlic knots. All of it was decent, especially considering our other choices (DQ, Hardee's, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut).

But the dessert was pretty fresh…read more I did think that the honey chicken could use a bit of work, most of it was dry on the inside despite the glazing outside. The fried chicken was hot though. Fresh out of the fryer. And most importantly, cooked all the way through. Usually at Chinese buffets, the fried chicken will still have a bit of pink of the meat stuck directly on the bone. Not this one. I walked in at 3pm, so it wasn't like I was right on time for the lunch rush either. They had some moderately loud music playing, not so soft that you can't understand the words (80's and 90's songs mostly with a few early 2000's) and not so loud you can't have a conversation. Pretty good. 2 televisions in the back, 1 was off and the other on news with captions. Where it really impressed me though, was the service. I had a gentleman with short hair and glasses serving me. No frills, just immediately had me in a seat and had my drink to me before I got my first plate of food. Again, I arrived at 3pm, it wasn't exactly busy, but compared to other buffets in the area, I was pleasantly surprised. They also had a little fridge up front which I didn't get a picture of, it had bottles and cans for to go drinks, but also the Japanese soda, Ramune. Lychee, orange, mango and blueberry flavors. Delicious. The buffet bar line was also very clean, didn't see any spills anywhere unless they literally just happened from myself or another guest. Highly impressed, I'll be coming back.
