Service was friendly and quick and our waitress made sure to check up on us regularly. Their menu consists of a variety of options from sushi to tacos and sandwiches to steak udon - I got the steak udon, so good. I highly recommend it. We started with some spicy tuna sushi. Very good and had a bit of a kick. The steak udon, the highlight of my meal, had stir fried veggies with the noodles and very flavorful sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare for me, as usual). My husband ordered the sesame chicken - tempura fried chicken tossed in sweet and savory glaze, served with rice and veggies. He enjoyed his meal as well. Then for dessert, we shared a chocolate torte. I am a sucker for chocolate torte and anything that says flourless. As my husband frequently asks... what did flour ever do to you? Answer... nothing but I prefer flourless desserts!

The salad was fresh and generously portioned but you're basically paying $14 for a bowl of fresh romaine lettuce and one wafer.

That said, prices in the area generally seem higher than Id expect for the menu items so might be location- specific.

I always try to explain my review having more stars than perhaps it would in reality, if that makes…read moresense. This is a Chinese buffet. It is an all you can eat buffet. For people who have not had actual primo, well prepared Asian cuisine, I've never seen anyone not enjoy and tell me that they absolutely loved every single dish. This is what it is. It's only $14 for lunch, and if you went to one of the commercial burger places, you would expect that amount on just a regular basket with fries, drink and a burger. Here people get to eat as much as they want. Having explained this, I hope that you understand why I give the stars that I do for this place. It's because they were clean and there was nothing wrong with any of the dishes that I saw or tried . I particularly only like a few. I might like more if the food was hotter temperature wise. I have been to Asian buffets, particularly in Cheboygan and their food was a lot hotter, even though it's in the hot water baths or however, they're heating it. I prefer to have my food served hotter for many reasons. It is more tasty, it kills bacteria and any food problems like that. I'm sure that if they have these heated too high, it also breaks down the vegetables quickly. But I feel that this is a necessary requirement with the buffet food especially. I do love the hibachi style being available. You can add whatever you want, and the hibachi chef will fry it and add whatever sauces you'd like so that's my favorite. That's the main reason I go here, but the reason my sister always insist on returning Here is because "she likes to pig out". I see that many people do. That's what these buffets are. I think in the past like in the 70s they actually used to even put smorgasbord on the sign now everyone knew what that meant. I find that the servers are nice and it's always a very friendly ambience here so that along with the cleanliness and the fact that people look extremely happy that they "got to pig out" I give this place a four.. and really why would I come and eat again and again at a place that I didn't feel was a safe safe or sufficient lunch? I would not.

My wife flew into the airport there in Traverse City, so we decided to go to the Asian Buffet for…read moredinner. It was the first time for us going there and the food wasn't bad... but some of the food on the buffet was cold. I got stuff for the Mongolian grill they have there to have the cook stir-fry it for me... he cooked/stir-fried what I gave him on the plate, but it wasn't cooked all the way through. Also, I LOVE hot mustard, and I like to mix it into my food, but all they had was packets of hot mustard that were jellied and tasted horrible. They need to make fresh hot mustard, NOT packets!!! I lived in Florida for 20 years, so I know good crawdads and what they should taste like, I also know how to cook them with good seasonings... but the crawdads/crabs they had on the buffet were horrible tasting and over cooked!!! My biggest complaint would be no fresh "Hot Mustard"... and the cook on the Mongolian grill needs to learn how to stir-fry.

The vegan options here are fantastic. I love that I can choose the Thai chili tofu as my protein, and it's actually good tofu -- firm, crispy, and flavorful instead of the usual mushy version you find elsewhere. The customization is another huge plus. You can load your tacos with far more than the standard lettuce and tomato, choosing from a variety of slaws, salsas, sauces, and toppings. My personal favorite combination is the Dirty Sauce (definitely spicy, so be warned!) with lettuce, poblanos, onions, and the corn mix. The tacos are generously sized, so 2-3 will leave you completely satisfied, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. This is also a perfect place for larger groups or families. We have friends who love bringing their kids because everyone can fill out their own order form and customize exactly what they want. I have to recommend the salsa roja and chips as an app. It's easily one of my favorite salsas. It has the perfect consistency with just the right balance of spice and sweetness. We love coming here and highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed!

Saturday's buffet menu is advertised as American BBQ. Friday's menu features crab legs and prime rib and costs $49.99. We went on a Thursday, and the menu was advertised as "international cuisine from Asia, Italy, and South America ". The actual food selection was general tso's chicken, orange chicken, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, Korean tofu and vegetables, chicken tikka Marsala, beef tamales, build your own tacos and nachos, a salad bar, a made to order pasta station, and desserts. The food ranged from mediocre to terrible, with the best choices being the pasta station, the salad bar, and the banana pudding. Our server did a good job of taking away dishes and keeping drinks filled. I honestly couldn't recommend the Thursday buffet. Maybe Friday and Saturday nights are better?

The food is the worst part. There was a mix of Asian and Mexican. Make your own tacos and nachos is…read morea good idea. There was an option for crab legs ($20 extra) and you could tell some cooks to make a bowl of pasta. What made this bad was quality and quantity. If there had been more options or better quality, it would've been nice. Cakes were hard on the outside, pie was just canned pie filling with a premade crust cracker, Mexican foods were dry and rank below store bought premade. Service was good- for the single waitress working at dinner time. She was stressed and struggling. Ambiance was fine. It was clean and looked like it was a better quality place than it was. Overall, it's probably a fine place to eat if you're drunk and having fun, but don't go out of your way to eat here.

Much to my great disappointment, and embarrassment, the "Fried Rice" wasn't just "Fried Rice" - it was "Chicken" Fried Rice!!! My two Vegan friends could not eat the Chicken Fried Rice so only had the small amount of tofu for their meal. I would think you would realize that if someone is ordering tofu, rather than one of the many other protein (meat) options, that you would know NOT to give them "Chicken" Fried Rice! I tried to share this info with them on their Contact Us form, but the multiple times I tried to 'Send Message' - "Something went wrong" and it wouldn't send. So I'm at least putting it here so others can beware.

I sent it back the first time, the waitress never offered anything while I waited for my second steak... so my whole family was able to finish their meal before I got mine. No extra bread.. no soup... no salad... just hungry. Had to eat all my sides without my steak. Honestly I should've asked for the quality of the steak. Definitely was something under Prime cut. $12 kids butter parm noodle... came in a tiny soup bowl. Barely enough Parmesan to even see. So tasteless. Are you serious? At least salt the water. This was probably the worst of it. I got bamboozdled on a pasta dish I could've easily made at home for $1. Sides- The shiitake mushrooms were an absolute disgrace. They were literally so tasteless and dry! Roasted with no herbs, seasoning or allium. Potato Pavé was good. We ordered 2. It's definitely not a "shareable" size side. Come for the cocktails and view. Not for the food.
