    Sad to downgrade our ratings for this long-running Chinese buffet. We've been coming here for a few times most years over a 20-year period, and this is the least agreeable experience ever. What's gone wrong? A lot, unfortunately. The selections have diminished; much less variety of dishes than we can ever recall. The quality of the food seems to have gone downhill; too many selections were lukewarm and bland to the taste. We've usually liked our servers, some of whom have been here for decades, we believe, but there were fewer of them and they seemed more harried and less friendly. And we missed the sushi since we could find only rolls at the sushi counter. Prices are up very slightly, not unexpected, but given the overall dining experience it's not a good deal any longer. Sad. We'll hope for a rebound.

    Amazing Buffet with Great Service and Value Two years ago for our 50th HS Reunion, we had our dinner here and it was great. You can read the original review also. Since then, we have tried to meet once a year to at least get together and renew old friendships and relive memories. This year we were suppose to meet but our plans got delayed due to a Hurricane named Florence. Ended up delaying it for a week and since some people could not change plans, turnout was a little less than normal. We were seated in the same dining room as before and the service was outstanding. The Buffet was great two years ago and maybe my memories is failing but it has only gotten better. I do not remember oysters on the half shell or crayfish from two years ago along with more American style items for those who do not appreciate Chinese or Japanese. Very comfortable setting, with great food and a place I would highly recommend.

    Plenty for kids.

    We definitely stop here each and every year we're up in North Carolina. It's by far the best Chinese buffet around... well, in our experience it's the only one. We've even brought the entire family here for Father's Day - it's that much a favorite. This is your typical (to this urban buffet connoisseur) large-scale Chinese Buffet. There are tons of pre-made dishes as well as pizza and chicken nuggets for the kids. There are some interesting local specialties (gizzards) and maybe some stuff to avoid (salmon swimming in mystery liquid), but stick to the Chinese basics and you'll be great. Heck, the regular Chinese buffet isn't even where this place shines: 1. Sushi - they have some REALLY good rolls here all the time, and many with eal and real fish in them, not just California rolls and krab 2. Hibachi - want raw food cooked up fresh for you? They have this too and they do a great job with it! 3. Ice Cream - they have a freezer with 6-8 containers of real scoop your own ice cream! This is not soft serve, this is the real deal. And they have a whole slew of sauces and toppings to put on your make your own sundae! Price: very good for what you get. Heck the last time we went with a 2 and 4 year old, my wife and I got out for under $25. We all had plenty of our individual favorites and ate our fill of delicious ice creams when we were done. Going to the local ice cream shop for 4 of us sets us back close to $20 alone, so what a great value coming here for both lunch AND ice cream!

    Not too bad of a Chinese buffet, but reduced in size since the height of the pandemic. The variety of food was good with something for everyone. It was hot and well seasoned with enough variety to keep most everyone happy. I will definitely eat here again.

    Sushi was very plain. Not many options. A lot of fried food. It was ok for a buffet. Service was good.

    Do they have a variety of Seafood there?

    Good fresh raw oysters, sometimes Salt & Pepper frog legs, also sometimes crab legs - all you can eat. Also many types of cooked fish and a full sushi bar - rolls only at lunch - rolls and sushi for dinner...

For dinner I had the southwest blackened chicken Cobb salad which was very good as well. Prices were a little up there, but not too crazy. Service was a little slow (they were pretty busy at the time we went) but the server was well educated on the menu. The restaurant was nicely appointed, comfortable and they have a separate room for their bar.

    He Said: We had intended to get dinner at a nearby brewery, but a cover charge for a band (fair!)…read morediscouraged us from hanging out. I called over to the Square Root to check the kitchen timing (it was getting on 8) and all was well. We managed a seat at the bar and this was perfect for us. We chatted a bit with the servers, who were amazing. There is a ton enjoyment for the job and the space going on here. We also met some semi-locals who were awesome. Shout out to "Kendall-Jackson"! The menu is full of local ingredients and plenty of temptations. The specials were even more tempting and we grabbed oysters to kick it off. The pepper/spicy mignonette is so so good. It's just the right mix of classic and new. I didn't need the other sauce, especially with just 6 oysters. I eyed the yellowtail snapper (snapper, right? def not tuna) special, but opted for the Korean chicken sandwich. Quite good! I could have used a stronger flavor from the kimchi and, frankly, less of a mess, but the cook was just right, the flavor profiles were excellent, and the portion was plenty. A really good sandwich! I had the sweet potato chips as my side and I can see why they are popular. We kept the leftover sauces from the oysters just so I could dip my chips. Good call! She Said: I'd like to start by complimenting the fantastic staff. They've obviously been here a while, and they're enthusiastic about this place. He Said covered the oysters (yum!) and the mignonette (double yum!), so I'll focus on the mushroom tart that I got as my meal. The rough puff was really done well, and the mushroom and goat cheese combo was terrific. I thought they would be inside the pastry, but I adapted. The whole dish was terrific, and though I thought it was too salty for me, I also know that I'm sensitive to salt. All in all, we will definitely be back! Potty Points: no trip to the potty for me on this one!
