    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.

    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.

    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.

    I didn't find one thing on this $23 buffet that had any flavor at all! Also, the food was all just barely room temperature. Save your $$!

    Peppers was an adventurous food choice for me since I have only had Indian food once before. If you…read moreare like me, don't hesitate to try it at this wonderful restaurant! I felt like I was receiving a home cooked meal prepared with care by a family,not a staff! Highly recommend the cauliflower appetizer,even if you are not a fan of the veggie. It was delicious! We placed two orders! Pair it with several baskets of garlic na'an and you are set. We got a variety of delicious dishes each custom made to each person's desired level of spice. Level 3 is pretty spicy as a reference for your choice. The ambiance was basic,but very clean. They do have a bar and private room for special occasions. Service was fast and very courteous. I felt the prices were very fairly charged. Ready to break out of the same old thing for dinner? Visit Peppers in Jamestown.

    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....

    I kept seeing Seafood Destiny on social media and when I checked it out on Yelp, it got great…read morereviews. I wondered why I never heard of it before or nobody ever recommended it to me? I threw the suggestion out to Sally and she thought it would be fun to try something new so she picked me up, we got on Gate City Boulevard and drove west until we found this place in a small strip mall. The outside won't necessarily draw your attention, but once you step inside this simple takeout/ dine in spot, the experience is totally different. As soon as we walked in we were approached by a gentleman who must have been the owner. He was incredibly kind and appreciative of our patronage. He explained all the dishes and a little bit about the company itself. This guy was full of pride about Seafood Destiny and I was impressed. Besides dining inside, they offer takeout and catering services. He was particularly proud of some of his dishes and when he told me that the crab legs was a special tonight for $20, I knew that was the best fit for me. You pay at the counter after you choose your selection and then have a seat and wait for your food to arrive. We were the only ones in the restaurant, although I did see a few people pop in for takeout. I could not help but wonder with it being so empty whether the great reviews would match up to what they claimed. I got my Diet Coke from the fountain machine with unlimited refills which always makes me happy. After chatting for a while with Sally, this huge plate came my way. The crab legs special for $20 was amazing. Not only did it have plenty of crab legs, but it came with a half-dozen beautiful shrimp with excellent seasoning, turkey sausage, corn on the cob and delicious scalloped potatoes. I ordered a side of asparagus. Although it was tasty. I don't know if the asparagus was worth $5. On the other hand, the main dish was a real bargain!! The food was delicious. Sally ordered salmon with pasta and loved her dish as well. I just ate and ate and ate and ate and eventually devoured the entire dish. Boy, that was good. No doggy bag here! We were each served a special dipping sauce from the Seafood Destiny. It was sweet and tasty but I was happy to just devour the fish as is. It was well seasoned and scrumptious While we were eating, a young man came out to chat with us. Something told me he was the son of the owner or he was indeed the manager or both lol. We had a nice chat about the place and it's history and he really appreciated our visit and hoped we would spread the word. I will! We arrived at 6:30 and before we knew it it was 8:00 and the place was beginning to close. I devoured my last crab leg, got a refill on my diet Coke and we headed out. Both Sally and I discussed on the way home what a delicious meal that was, how lovely the owners and staff were and what a shame that there not more people in the restaurant. I am hoping that was a fluke on a Tuesday night because Seafood Destiny definitely deserves customers. The place was simple, but the welcoming staff, the good priced seafood meals, the plentiful portions, and most of all, seeing the incredible pride and love the owners put into this place made it a winning combination for me I'm always a big fan of family owned operations and Seafood Destiny deserves your patronage. Whether it's shellfish or salmon or grouper, I highly recommend you head over to this place. As unassuming as it is on the outside, the inside was a delicious and welcoming experience!. I will be back and I hope to see you there!

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.

I am not really sure what spice level they ended up serving me -- they seemed to want to serve me medium, but the spice was completely imperceptible. Definitely not hot as requested. Potentially mild. The food was flavorful, tasty even, but not even a whisper of heat. That was disappointing. To put things in perspective -- I'd say a slice of pepperoni pizza with a few red pepper flakes sprinkled would be spicier. The chana masala was also SUPER oily. I'm not sure if that's normal for them or not -- no matter how many times I stirred it, around 1/4 cup or more of straight oil kept separating out. Beautiful restaurant, clean, quiet, with tasty enough food, but they majorly failed on delivering heat, which is one of the main things I enjoy in Indian food. I am not sure if they typically serve the mildest Indian food on the planet, or if they didn't think I could handle what I ordered, but regardless, I don't see myself choosing to return here.
