    Pretty decent for this type of buffet.
    Good selection and there is a hibachi grill and sushi also included.
    They get a good crowd coming into this establishment so the dishes Jeeps getting refreshed.
    And pretty good on the flavors in the food.
    Not a bad deal for under $8:00 for a quick lunch.
    They have a marinated pork cutlet at the hibachi side that is really good.

    Better than the average buffet.  Lots of negative reviews, but I've been a dozen times, and it's ready not that bad. They have the cleanest sushi bar of any buffet I go to.  It has an attendant and it is well done.  I like the fact that it has seaweed salad too, instead of spiralized zucchini flavored like seaweed salad!  The grill has steak, probably strip loin.  It's small, and thin, but that's an item that you dont usually see anymore.  The buffet itself has salt and pepper shrimp!  They also have pot roast, Mongolian beef, chicken teriyaki, grilled chicken, boneless spare ribs...  if they had crab legs, I could cry.  There are some odd things like chicken fingers in mayonnaise I think I'll pass on.  Stuffed clams and shrimp covered with ground pork... baby back ribs that look and taste boiled... no!  Still, plenty to like.

    I would speak a bit to ambiance.  The parking lot has security.  I've seen multiple cars doing burn outside in the lot.  There's no shortage if yelling and screaming and the pungent aroma of weed floats across the parking lot and restaurant.  It seems a lot of people are working on their appetites before going in!  Noisy and crowded on weekends, for sure, but they are a good value for the price!

    This was definitely not my first time here, but first time I'll be leaving a review about it. The staff seems pretty nice, quiet, but nice.

    As for the food, their wide range of selections are a sight to see. So many different options, and it seems like everything is hot, fresh, and smells good. If I had to rate the food, I'd rate it a 75 out of 100. Not bad, but not great. The taste definitely did not live up to the looks and the smells.

    I made my first plate with white rice, coconut chicken, Chinese pork, shrimp pasta, and crab macaroni. Everything was okay, but it seemed super greasy.... It was one of those greasy's where after you eat you feel as if you're going to throw up. I tried to get another dish and picked up some Fried Chicken wings, and crab Rangoon. Two staples in Chinese food. The Fried chicken, although looked great, smelled great, and was hot, was a bust. It wasn't good at all. The crab Rangoon had way too much cream cheese for comfort; I couldn't get past the first bite.

    I can't say I won't come back, because I will. But I hope that the restaurant improves, and the food becomes less greasy.

    You get what you pay for, lunch is alright and the dinner is better also more expensive, they give you the check and walk away they don't hover over you, the seating arrangement is weird sometimes they seat you in the open in chairs instead of a booth, utensils have water marks on them and it makes it look dirty. Dinner for 2 is around $30.
