The staff are friendly and nice and the server was also really good but the food and drinks were terrible. All the deserts taste as if they are made with some sort of keto bread that has no substance or normal texture. The food itself was also not so good, a combination of stale or not fresh items combined with recipes that just do not taste right. It’s a very cheap environment and not very large, even one of the desert machines was out of order. This place is not worth a visit, there’s no way they can think there food taste normal….. ????

No very impressed. Some food was cold, and others just didn't taste good or have any flavor. Handicap stall in the women's bathroom was flooding, and the middle stall has a broken seat. Service was good though. Wouldn't recommend to many people.

Was a little hesitant based on prior reviews, but glad I came!
This no-frills chinese buffet has hit-or-miss specialty items/seafood, but the "chinese takeout" fare is solid and provides a lot of value!
Celery chicken is good, the General Tso's meat-to-batter ratio is very fair, and the string beans are decent. It is unfair to compare this place to a high-class buffet, but it is equally unfair to say it is one of those "health hazard" places too.
If your goal is to fill up on chinese takeout, this is your place!

Food was great..
Terrible restroom, they can do better.
I would love to eat here all the time and give them 5stars but the restroom messed everything up. They can change the water closets

NEVER COMING BACK HERE.
FOOD IS SOGGY, LOOKS OLD AND THEY DONT HAVE VARIETY.
I WAS EXPECTING A BUFFET BUT IT WAS MORE LIKE RICE NOODLES AND CHICKEN.
SUSHI WAS SO DRY LOOKED OLD TO ME, GRILLED PLANTAIN WAS RAW AND SOGGY. RIDICULOUSLY GROSS.

I didn't have great expectations come here other than that previous reviews are read,
the only items that I like that we're fresh where the real beef,
I believe it was onions bell peppers and beef tasted okay
the fruit was fresh and so it was okay
I have some hot tea and hot water along with it,
the broccoli was fresh,
I didn't really care for the wonton soup except for the broth and that was it,
the noodles did not taste fresh to me,
the rice might have been okay,???
Rice does not stay fresh in Lexington side of cooker for it's covered with plastic
but I was turned off by some of the food that was not fresh?
I tried a pizza or slice of pizza that look like it just had melted shredded cheese on it and one piece of pepperoni on it was not cooked enough all the way through to begin with,
the egg drop soup was probably okay,
any of the dishes with meat and vegetables such as bell peppers and onions is going to be okay,
My guest liked noodles,
There's only sugar and pink artificial sweetener,
for you diabetics you may want to bring your own,
I don't care for the NutraSweet to begin with, give me the yellow blue or the green package stuff any day with some hot tea and some lemons.
but there's no honey here,

Food is fresh, most of the chicken is incredibly tender. The ribs were tender but not very sticky with sweet glaze. Kung pao chicken was great, ditto Gerneal Tzou's chicken, loved the sauteed mushrooms, hot and sour soup and the chocolate icream was more flaverful than most soft serve. Service was friendly, place very clean as were the restrooms.

The place is quiet and clean. The food was very flavorful. The bread was a little dry and the fried rice lacked a little flavor but other than that it was a very delicious meal. The food was always stocked and full. The parking lot is a nightmare.
11/12/19 Went back again today and it was slow but the service was lacking this time. The server didn’t refill our drinks or check on us. Another server had to go look for him and he still made us wait longer for a refill.
