I was visiting the town and went there for dinner, and it was the best China buffet so far! I love the sushi bar and the sea food, which were very delicious and had lots of choices. I even saw the ell roll which is always my favorite! Sadly there was only one left. And the staff were really nice. I hope there's one in my place so I could go often.

went with a couple buddies. the food was fresh, but the taste was rather bland. every type of chicken I got seemed really really chewy and just did not have the best flavor. the options that were available seemed to be pretty limited, especially if you don't like sea food lol.

Food was piping good hot and fresh, but rather bland. Lunch buffet see.ed pricey at almost $13. Server was delightful and kept a good eye out on drinks. Cashier was the worst. Demanded private information to validate payment and when I refused, she offered to throw me out. Wouldn't go back.

Been here PLENTY of times before, however, there has always been issues w the owner. Today, we stopped by per usual (every Friday or so) to go eat. We've always eaten the same dishes by order. A little bit of everything. This is where the part comes by play. Waitress is sweet and has nothing to do w this or any of the workers BUT the owner. My dad went to go get some more crab legs because he only got a few on his plate, as there was no good crab legs.. he was then scolded being told that we're gonna be charged more just because we were eating more seafood than everybody else. My dad then left his plate alone because he does not want to be charged more. Mind you, we have always eaten the same way and the same amount for SO long and haven't been told anything of being charged more for seafood. Owner came off rude and wanted us to be charged regardless. My dad looked at the sign where the owner pointed but those prices goes towards people who are getting TAKE OUT. We paid for the general buffet like ALWAYS. Owner has been a problem for everybody and I feel bad for the mistreatment he gives to his employees. I think this will be the last time we stop by 🙁 EDIT ↓ My dad has been craving this buffet after it has been 2 months of not going, and whilst we arrived and been seated.. The lady up front came to up to me and told me.. the owner wants me to delete THIS same review and make a new positive review. Telling me how this same review leaves a poor reputation and we're not welcomed by the owner if not deleted. She came up to me about 4 times asking if I could delete the review. I wasn't even there with my dad and little brother for too long when that happened. That happened in a matter of 10 minutes or less. I then told her, if the owner wants to talk about it.. he can then talk to me. 30 minutes passes by and the owner wanted to show my dad a translation of the EXACT same thing I've already been told. My dad pointed to me because I was the one who made this review, but he said no and pointed the statement he made on his phone for my dad to read. The moment my dad said "okay" he then quickly walked away without a single word being said. Ridiculous. He is not fit to be a business man. I mean, why send your employees to tell a customer what YOU want several times? Can't do it yourself and be mature about it? It's giving middle grade school and I'm not having it. I know for a fact he didn't wanna talk about it right then and there because he has temper issues. He didn't wanna put up a show like he has in the past with his employees. Again, the employees aren't the issue.. it's the owner, without a doubt. The owner thinks I was talking bad about him (referring to the translation my dad read), but I was just stating what I've been seeing and treated as a customer over the past few years. It's not my problem nor my fault for the way he has been acting as an owner. He's the one who is setting himself up AND even further after this situation. Either he needs to learn how to get his shit together or close this business for good. I also wonder how many people have gone through the same thing 🤔 to keep up the good reviews over the poor reviews. - Foods were warm, stale, or salty from this visit. - Poor restrooms - Poor air conditioning → either too cold or too hot; rarely in between.

Went for lunch and everything was great and plentiful. My husband even left full which is hard 🤣🤣🤣 great service, food and atmosphere. Keep up the amazing work and

The food at this restaurant is delicious and very clean. My favorite is the snow crab. The sushi is also excellent. I will definitely come back with my family next time to enjoy the food.
