    I have eaten here since the restaurant has opened, I believe in 2018. It used to be a Goodwill Thrift Store. The food selections are many. Asian ad well as American. Lots of seafood's to choose from. Octopus, shrimp, coca butter, in shell, no shell, steamed, butterfly, crayfish, clams, mussels, imitation crab, and crab legs, fish, calimari, and more. Broccoli steak, mushrooms, chicken, pizza, toasted breads, soups, Always great prices, great food, great service, great atmosphere! I absolutely love it here! And so will you too!

    I came in for lunch with already modest expectations -- after all, it's a Chinese buffet. Unfortunately, this place somehow managed to fall below even those low standards. Amazing. One staff member was more focused on rearranging the five remaining pieces of cold chicken skewers than actually refilling the trays. The same went for the wings and several other items -- clearly left sitting too long and barely warm. The sushi section was particularly concerning: mostly empty, with lukewarm pieces that looked like they'd been out far too long. Definitely not something you want to gamble on. Freshness, what's that? Not up in here for lunch. There are other buffets somewhat nearby that don't serve trash for Lunch. Eat at your own risk on any day besides the weekend, probably.

    Food was decent service was good and the prices are worth it nice owner always in the front when serving i believe

    My family and I decided to give it a try to this place and honestly - I want to say is a good place . We didn't know but we came in the perfect time for dinnner. We were able to get Mariscos ;) . The only thing is that They have certain times and prices for lunch and dinner . If you go for lunch there are some food you can't have . If you like Mariscos is best for you to go for dinner !!. Is a big place so waiting time is nothing. Pretty decent place not loud .

    It's been a long time since I've been to a Chinese buffet. I came here around 2pm on a weekday and the price was $15.99. This place has a huge sitting area. It's very clean and spacious. They have a good selection of food. My favorite would be their Szechuan spicy fish and tofu dish. That taste is on point. I also enjoyed their broccoli dishes, chicken skewer, shrimps, ice cream, and Mongolian bbq. For the price, it's pretty good deal. They also have sushi,pizza, salad, and other desserts like cakes and cream puff. I tried one piece sushi which I thought was egg inside but turn out to be cheese. That wasn't good to me. The cakes were too dry, but they have a good selection of ice cream including green tea and coffee. They offer more seafood during the weekend. Service was good. The host was friendly and the staff was constantly clearing our table and checking in on us. I'll be back when I crave Chinese buffet or can't figure out what to eat.

    Just like any other buffet place, same food same desserts and same ambiance. Eat until you drop. Now what stands out is your drinks. The customer service they give you when your drinks are empty. In this case, the buffet restaurant was close to empty. Around 2pmsh. Our server did not deliver. Kept reminding him to fill up our drink refills. Now this is what stands out from every buffet. This is not the case. From experience only, maybe our server had a bad day. Just Ok.

    Some of their foods were rotten!!!

    -0 rating Food was TERRIBLE !! The noodles were dry, the chicken had a HUMAN HAIR, there were FLIES on the food. Never coming here again !! Only go if you like bottom of the barrel, Chinese food

    Ate lunch here on 9-11-14. Both my friend and I ended up with food poisoning. It's 8pm the next day and I've just started feeling better.

    This is one of our all time favorites. We get the char chicken, Orange chicken, Mushroom chicken,…read moreGreen bean chicken, mixed vegetables as a side if you get 2 items. Good chow mein! Our hands down favorite is the 3 flavor soup. It is awesome for cool weather, really anytime. Mushrooms, celery, broccoli, carrots, shrimp, chicken, and BBQ pork. Not tips and slices, and leftovers-nice sized chunks and pieces. This soup stands alone as a meal on it's own-and is filling. If you look at Pho restaurant prices, the 3 flavor soup is a better deal and a satisfying meal. April 2026 is chilly, get the soup, and be content, and full! If you try it once, I bet you'll have a new favorite. My wife loves it. I order no chow mein in the soup for low carbs. Served HOT. Pretty nice and decent indoor dining area for a takeout place- with marble table tops, and comfy seats, asian style wall images make it nice. Unlike some chinese places, they have a bathrooms for customers-helpful. Cold stone next door makes it a "one Plaza tummy pleaser!"

    Kaowok - Downey, CA…read more I ordered the 2-item combo with steamed rice and chow mein, choosing orange chicken and BBQ pork as my main dishes. The portions were generous and packed with meat, which was definitely a plus. Unfortunately, the flavor was just average for me. I'd rather have a smaller portion with really great flavor than a large quantity that doesn't stand out. Overall, I wasn't impressed enough to come back. The food wasn't bad, but it just wasn't that great. I'd choose another spot next time.

    Throwback to when dine-in Chinese food was king!…read more There's something special about walking into a place that reminds you of childhood, and this spot absolutely delivers. The service is consistently exceptional, but what keeps bringing me back are the generous family portions, quality food, and incredible value. For a date night, we ordered: Family Orange Chicken Family Beef & Broccoli Fried Rice Steamed Rice 1 Egg Roll 2 Fried Shrimp Hot Tea 2 Sprites Total: $33. With the cost of everything going up these days, finding a place where you can enjoy a great meal, leave satisfied, and not feel like you just emptied your wallet is becoming increasingly rare. And the portions? Huge. We actually had enough left over for lunch the next day, which makes that $33 feel like an even better deal. For me, this is what good neighborhood Chinese food should be: great service, generous portions, quality food, reasonable prices, and that nostalgic feeling that takes you right back to being a kid. Absolutely love this place. We'll definitely be back!

    I really like this Chinese food place. They have good portions…read more The chow mein tastes well seasoned and doesn't taste like chemicals like other places nearby. The fried rice is fresh, unlike the other place where its texture and taste was that of two day old left overs. We love their broccoli beef and orange chicken as well. I also like to get the cream cheese wontons but it's disappointing when they forget to include the sweet and sour sauce with it. I think I'll be skipping that add on bc they never seem to include it anymore. Hence the 4/5 stars.
