Occasionally a food option will be lukewarm. The service is quick, efficient and friendly. Well organized food islands give guests plenty of room to search for their favourite item and try new ones. If you leave hungry it's your own fault! LOL!
This place is super cool. The service is great and the waiters are so nice. They had crawdads and clams and tons of sushi. Good food. I didn't want to stop eating
Love it here. Food is usually always fresh and hot. It's a nice place to go to get your cravings in without spending enough to buy a small country.
A $15 chinese buffet doing what a buffet needs to do. They were good at keeping up on food. They cleared plates well enough. Pretty good selection of stuff. And my kids liked the noodles. So it was a win for me.
