    Food was awesome and lots to choose from Service was great and friendly! Ambiance was amazingly beautiful!

    I stopped by here on my way to the furniture market. It was good and only $10. I wanted to have protein and fresh vegetables, something more well rounded than a fast food restaurant. It's conveniently located near hpu. To go plates are weighed at the register. Checkout was was easy. I enjoyed the sushi and it was being need fresh. Families were enjoying meals there. Gloves were available at the buffet to encourage sanitation. There was such variety for all diet types.

    The restaurant is very clean,the food is good but can be a little more seasoned. The staff is welcoming and attentive to their customers. Me and my boyfriend were seated right away after being greeted. This buffet differs from the other buffets by serving roasted duck and korean short ribs. They also have fresh sushi and sashimi daily.

    This is one of the buffet with better quality of foods The location was a bit far - we drove 35 min to get there but it was worth the drive. All on weekends. We've been there 3 times in about a month. bbq bar - my fav is the bbq pineapple. Very good. Hot foods - lots of selection - including duck , steamed fish , crabs , crawfish, frog legs. And all other usual buffet selection. Dim sum - they do change week over week which is nuce - steamed dumplings, chives dumplings. My fav - chicken claw. Pork feet. Hard to find in other places. Salad bar - cold shrimp and other seafood selections. Sushi - all the common rolls , periodically, broiled eel, and other seafoods. Dessert includes ice cream. Overall a very full selection for buffet and I like it because there are specific Chinese dishes included. It's it's any closer to home - we probably be here every week.

    Modern, brightly decorated, open and welcoming! They have a bright plant wall for social Media. We did dinner so was pleasantly impressed by the sushi bar option. The greasy smell was not lingering in the air like typical buffet places. Service was very attentive. They had a good wide selection of options (loved the sushi, seafood, & soup). The very last aisle was all fried food. Pricing was reasonable for the quality and selection of food. Has good selection of seating options (booth, tables, private room in the back). Deducted from star for extremely loud music pipping into the restroom, cleanliness, & diaper changing station set-up in the ladies room

    We went and had a family dinner here the service was good. The food was just OK. Nothing really got you overexcited I understand what rising the food cost, but the price I felt was very high for the quality of food. Place was very clean. It looked very nice on the inside.

    I am not sure why this place has such a bad review. The food is so good, the servers are super nice and attentive, the place is clean and cool, so make sure to eat your hot food faster lol. Everything my family and I had tasted really good, they have like 5 different soups and the sushi is a lot. I would recommend this place to anyone that wanted to know where to go for an all you can eat in high point.

    The buffet interior has been updated with brighter lights and the food looked fresh and was delicious. Sushi, Chinese food, grilled food, seafood and American food. My favorite chicken was the orange chicken. The staff seemed to be consistent going to tables and tending the buffet food items and cleanliness. I'm excited for a new and yummy place to have Asian cuisine.

    My newest food fixation is the Sesame Cauliflower from Peppers in Jamestown. I cannot stop thinking…read moreabout it. The perfectly cooked soft center, the crisp exterior, and the sticky ssssaaaaauce it's covered in... It's savory and heavy enough to be a meal but I was being generous and decided to share the appetizer with my spouse. They do offer a spice scale and they don't hold back. I foolishly tried the spice level 3 (out of 5 being the hottest) and should have chosen a 2 spice level. But the cauli was so good I fought through the pain. Worth it. I could have easily stopped there but we also ordered the garlic naan (also yessssss) as well as the Lamb Korma and Chicken Vindaloo. Both those entrees were delicious but the Korma really stood out to me. The rich and creamy sauce was very unique to my pallet and when I returned, I ordered the Chicken Korma. Clearly I love a good sauce. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, very spacious and would be great for groups or a romantic dinner for 2 (or 3 if you are into that sort of thing). The service was excellent and our server was patient when we ask questions about the menu. Fortunately, a lot of the dishes have descriptions on the menu so you have a good idea of what you are ordering. Looking forward to returning to Peppers again .... for the cauliflower... and the naan....

    After a year of living in the area, I finally got around to trying Peppers, and WOW is it good. It…read moreis definitely my new favorite Indian restaurant, and even in my top 5 local restaurants in general! From the moment we walked in the door, the staff were kind, friendly, and attentive. We were seated immediately, and given time/space to look over the menu, but with our server still hovering nearby in case we had questions or were ready quickly. When we ordered, the server explained the 1-5 spice scale, gave recommendations, and even asked about allergies. After the food came out, he continued to check on us. This is definitely not one of those "abandoned in the corner and ignored" type of establishments. We started with an order of chili paneer, with spice level 2. It was perfectly crunchy and super flavorful. Level 2 has a nice kick to it if you sit for a minute between bites, but it doesn't necessarily light you up either. It is a great level if you're sharing something with someone a little more spice-hesitant. I love paneer, and this appetizer had a generous portion that could easily be a meal for 1 person. For my main, I got the Chana masala, spice level 3. This was absolutely delicious! Spicy, warm, flavorful. Chickpeas had the perfect texture -- not too hard nor too mushy. As a spicy food enjoyer, level 3 was a nice level that is hot and ~just~ starts to make my face flush, but isn't overpowering. A "conversational" level if you will. I could easily order this on a work lunch and could still eat with decorum. We also got garlic naan, which is always a hit, but done absolutely perfectly here. Pillowy, soft, fresh, and generous with the garlic.

The groups was hungry though and this caused many empty or near empty pans of food. And those with food were not hot. While the food was tasty, it would have been better if it was hot.

The sushi also tasted old with the some of the rice crusty. I didn't see the usual sushi chef I was used to. A lot of the dishes I liked were hot but still tasted old. The second visit was at 2:30 and I expected some of the dishes to be old since it's an off hour. But it was worse than expected. Crusty sauces. Old and soggy fried foods. Just bad. Worse, the sushi was ancient. It had been made hours before and all the rice on the rolls hard. I would have enjoyed the nigiri, but he wasn't making any. The chef was just standing there looking around. I pointed out that helge plate was empty, but when I returned the plate was still empty. Every time I went here, about every other month, I always saw the same sushi chef and unbelievably he always remembered me. He kept all the sushi fresh and usually replaced stuff as fast as it was taken. Maybe I just missed him both of these times or maybe he no longer works there.

The shrimp cocktail was tasty but the shrimp are extremely small and only 6 so definitely not a shareable. I had the chargrilled oysters and they had great potential. All the flavors were there but they were left a bit too long to cook and half my order was burnt. The soup was phenomenal, as was the peel and eat shrimp. I would love to go back on a day that isn't as hectic and hope for better oyster. The potato salad did make up for a couple of the black shells.

While it's a relatively impressive looking storefront in a rundown and half empty shopping center, I have always had great experiences with the food. Items are prepared fast, fresh, and always taste great. From working here, I know that many of the items on the menu are made fresh in a house (eggrolls, chicken teriyaki appetizers, sauces, etc.) and you can tell from the fresh quality. Like many restaurants at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, China City closed their storefront and transitioned to a strictly takeout or delivery model. Granted, before that happened, it was extremely rare to see somebody dine in and there's has always really been a to-go establishment. I recall a time when there used to be a buffet, but it was never busy enough to maintain. Recently, they have reopened the storefront and put out a couple of tables for inside dining and you can actually walk inside to pick up your food from the counter again, and it's nice to have that interaction with the owners which has been missing for years! To get in line with modern times, it would be nice to have online ordering as an option, but I've never had difficulties placing a telephone order and the food is always prepared very quickly.

Within few minutes we. ordered and ended up waiting patiently. It took ~30 minutes for our order to arrive, one by one, but even at that time there weren't a lot of folks in the restaurant. And that surprised me that a restaurant with such nice ambiance & having a good name/reputation shouldn't be taking this much time on a Saturday evening. Food wasn't that bad, but not as good as I was expecting. I've had Chicken Karahi all over the world and came here after one of my friends told me that their karahi was good. I'll be honest: I wasn't! Charsi Tikka was good but a bit undercooked. Butter Chicken was good though. After we were done with our dinner, we had to wait for at least 15 minutes to have someone come to us and give us the boxes to take left over food. Even after that, no one came to check if we need anything or how we do have to pay. To summarize: experience was not as bad as it sounds like. But the owners must step up, be there by providing excellent customer service rather than relying everything on their staff. There wasn't even a manager who I could talk to - as it seems everyone was either taking orders or do stuff all around. Same folks were on the counter to get payments & serve drinks at the bar. I wish customer service becomes a priority, and with good ambience and sitting arrangement, they ensure food quality is also improved.
