Okay to start off the food tasted like it was dry and under a heat lamp. some of the things werent even replaced. Staff seem rude when i was being sitting with my family, but didnt say anything cause people have tough days, when i took a plate to go i have found hair in my noodles and the wings tasted like they been there all dat. And i spat the rest out, in the past i have found dead bugs around the table. and don’t appreciate the little kid in the back ignoring or looking at people weird . The jelly and fruit was the only things that’s really tasted okay. i hope i can at least get a refund for my meal.
Cane here after a hike and was a bit hungry. The food looked go so we decided to stay. I was a bit disappointed with the food that was offered. The food tasted ok, it seemed as if it was under the heat lamp too long. I did like the noodles and clams, though.
I do not recommend this place. It is definitely not worth $24 for dinner. Maybe $14, tops. I tried taking a look at the food before getting a table, but I was rushed into paying first, which should have been a red flag. There’s also a sign insisting you tip, but why would people tip before eating or getting quality service?
The food just really wasn’t good, seemed low quality, and was not very hot. For $24, there should be higher quality food and a hibachi station. No peel & eat shrimp or crab rangoons?!? No egg rolls??! They use a good chunk of their buffet space for American and Mexican foods, which doesn’t appeal to me. As far as atmosphere goes, it’s virtually non-existent. I love Chinese buffets and have been to a lot of bad ones, but this place wins last prize for me.
On a positive note, the service was decent, I appreciate how the baked salmon was presented, and love that they don’t allow customers to scoop their own ice cream. The roast duck had potential and I wish I could have had some when it was fresh.
Some sushi no sashimi some tables were empty. Others were half filled. The service was great, and it was nice and quiet but the selection was unsatisfying, and the food was well prepared but they do their beef sweet way too much sweet it’s not a dessert it’s beef ribs.????
My friend got food poisoning! It’s better to eat out your trash can. 26 dollars to eat unlimited garbage. 10/10 wouldn’t recommend. These guys gotta be shut down and that’s all there is to it.
First you walk in and pay $24. Looks amazing at the start, they have a nice fountain (might have fish). They also have cheap paper signs where you pay that say 2 hour Maximum! And make sure you tip signs! The food was terrible, beyond garbage. I would recommend eating your own throw up. Ima keep it %120 with you guy could go grab a 7-11 Hot-dog instead. Would've been hotter and fresher. The Mac and cheese was stale and looks like it had food coloring. They offer 2 kinds of fruit for desert and have terrible locks in the restroom. They don't work and open on both sides of the stalls. Customer service was trash, don't expect for them to refill your drink btw unless you walk up to the front counter and ask yourself. They basically ignore your empty drinks right by your table. Very cheap. Very bad. Very trash. Save yourself some time and go to golden coral. I slurped my empty drink with melted ice to try and get their attention and they ignored me. I wouldn't hate you guys for leaving no Tip. I think the food gets warmed up by someone breathing hot air into it. Looks like it hasn't been touched in hours and dry. 0 STARS! There was at least 6 people in there including me and my friend. The Rest being employees. Don't come here unless you want the same experience. Should've checked the ratings before going.
Was disappointing ????. Food selection was sub par. Not many sushi options. Weird selection since they had a Mexican food station with tacos and what-not. Not looking for that at a AYCE seafood/Chinese buffet at $25 a person but I'm assuming they are catering to high Latino customer traffic. They had crab legs but when I asked for melted butter they looked at me like "Who puts melted butter on crab legs?" Had to make my own by getting a bunch of butter packets and soaking them in the egg flower soup. Once melted opening the packets into a soup bowl. Their idea of tarter sauce is thousand island dressing mixed with pickle relish. One type of shrimp available, fried was soft mushie and unedible. No peel and eat shrimp. Ribs were cold. No refills ever offered. Had to do the refill myself even though there were only 3 tables for the staff to attend. Oysters were few and looked strange because they were dry from sitting so long. Not sure if they are keeping track of time food left out and temperatures. Staff seemed aloof and non engaged with customers. No grill as it's closed. Not sure why since they have one but it's empty and closed. They absolutely shouldn't be charging people $25.
I won't be back. There are better AYCE buffets in the area.
I had an amazing experience. If you are craving for a new experience. This is a must eat place. Do not forget to visit it!!!
