Extremely good, best Chinese food I’ve ever had beside from New York, NY. Very clean and food was always available. Servers were on top of everything as well. I will definitely recommend this place and be back. Amen P.S. I don’t know how people are hating on this place it was excellent. Stop being miserable and broke. Servers did not demand a tip or even mention it. Maybe just leave a tip next time and be a human in this society.

Ok I usually don’t write these but this place was AMAZING. such a good price for all the food you can get and such a variety. idk why it’s only 4 stars it should be 5 lol… best hibachi noodles i’ve ever had and it is VERY clean in there. they also have buffalo wings, and as someone from buffalo this is the best wings i have had outside of buffalo lol i was shocked. id go there just for that. there was not one piece of food i didn’t like. wish i had a place like this near us in buffalo!! also idk why ppl say the server rushes u she just is quick to clean plates which i like bc i dont want dirty plate in my face lol. she was very nice and waited until we were ready for our check. drinks came super fast too. would definitely come back if we drive by again.

Value for money, with a good, soft music background, atmosphere is not much, lightings is very easy for the eyes, and foods? You got a lot to choose from, when it says it's a buffet, they are not wrong, it's overboard.

While I believe the service could benefit from a more professional approach, particularly in terms of communication, this does not diminish the fact that this may be the best Chinese buffet I have ever experienced. The food stands out for its freshness, quality, and flavor, surpassing any other Chinese restaurant I have visited. The establishment itself was impressively clean, and parking was convenient. Overall, I am pleased we chose to dine here, as the variety of options was remarkable, ranging from soups and salads to five different types of dumplings, along with an extensive selection of meats, vegetables, and noodles.
