Customer Reviews

Excellent buffet! Staff was so friendly & welcoming. We paid $20 each on a Sunday evening. Good selection of American & Asian fare mostly. Everything we tried was great! Atmospher wasn't bad, just typical buffet/cafeteria setup. Really clean also.

$15 a person and totally worth it. We enjoyed the broccoli beef, chicken on sticks, sesame chicken, crab rangoons, and the creme brulee + soft serve for desserts. Classic Chinese buffet vibes , very nostalgic but food was hot and fresh. Buffet was very busy with lots of families. Service was awesome, she refilled our water every time we got up and brought the bill but said no rush.

We went on one of the craziest days of the year, Christmas night, I think the entire town showed up. The staff did their best to keep up and were very responsive. They had ham and ribs on the buffet, it was ok, but made even better after I put chilli crisp and sauce on top! Our favorite dish was the spicy chicken though. Everything else was good, we're full and happy.

Wow. I quit the whole Chinese Buffet thing a decade ago. But very shocked by this one. I literally liked everything I put on my plate. Delicious. Everything. Even the desserts. And $29 for two of us is extraordinary. We shall return.
