    Disgusting old food that had evidently been sitting untouched for hours. Meat, rice and noodles were dark and old looking. Do not recommend.

    the food is fresh and very flavorfulmy delicious. The telapia and salmon are excellent. I was in impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. I especially enjoyed the Rangoon, stuffed wontons and dumplings...I enjoyed it all:-)

    This is a wonderful Chinese buffet. The food is nothing authentic, but you don't come to a Chinese buffet for authentic Chinese food. It has something for everyone: lots of chicken and beef, seafood, salad, noodles and rice, meatloaf, and pizza! There's also a dessert bar with fresh fruits, cookies and a soft serve ice cream machine. Come when you want to carbo load, it's so much better than a pasta dinner!

    Good morning.  Love to coming here for the food . Great service and smile. Clean. Music. We here after  my dentist appointment.

    2 stars just because they have the worse service! Rude ladies always never fails! Food isn't perfect but good.

    Great food! Customer service is about what to be expected in a buffet environment. Very clean main…read morearea.

It's a little expensive, even for a weekend. You would expect more and better choices for the prices we paid. About $80 for two adults and a midget. They had your typical fare. The least favs-ribs(tough/dry and no flavor), steak(tough and under seasoned), steam buns(the filling just no), bourbon chicken(dry chicken and not enough sauce), and the consensus least fav were all the desserts. There was flying bugs, and everything was super dry and tasted old. I get it, what do expect for a Chinese buffet in San Antonio? Well I expect no flying insects in the desserts for the price I paid. Also, 75 % of the fruit we got was as tough as the steak. Oh, and the cold shrimp, either overcooked or thawed the wrong way. The shell was practically glued on. The positives-all the rice and noodle dishes were good to ok. The hot and sour soup was really good! The teriyaki chicken was actually good. The bigger sauced rib was good. The kimchi was some of the better we've had recently. The spring rolls with peanut were good. The two fish dishes we had(fried and not fried) were actually quite nice. All the breads were good. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Almost forgot, the bathrooms were kinda gross. They need to be kept clean. Will not come back again.

    I usually don't go into AYCE sushi restaurants in San Antonio with very high expectations but we…read morethought we'd give this spot a try. Sushi was decent and they had a pretty large menu to select from. $30.99 for all you can eat dinner isn't a bad deal at all especially with this economy. Fish was fresh and they seem to use good quality rice. I must say that the service was impeccable though. Super friendly staff that brought food out quickly and took away empty plates fast to make room for the food we ordered. Seemed like good teamwork among the employees.

Just you, the menu, and a quiet understanding that nobody is leaving early. Brought Jimmy "The Hammer" along for this one. A dangerous man in this setting. His only complaint before we even sat down was that it wasn't all you can drink. Fair concern. Thirty dollars for the dinner menu. Fair play. That is about standard across the city. The real question is whether you can actually make it worth it. I started strong. Ten salmon nigiri. Ten tuna. Four shrimp. A couple white tuna. A couple yellowtail. Across the table, Jimmy didn't say much. Just kept eating. That's usually how you know things are going well. At some point it stops feeling like dinner and starts feeling like a bit of a challenge. You settle into it. Find your rhythm. No wasted movement. Then came the rainbow rolls. Two of them. Always my test. You can tell everything you need to know about a sushi spot from that one roll. Balance, freshness, attention to detail. This one delivered. Clean, refreshing, exactly what you want. Added some chicken skewers for good measure. Bit of char, bit of heat, keeps things grounded. Place was packed. Not chaotic, just busy in the right way. Staff stayed on top of it. Plates moving, orders landing, no one left waiting. By the end of it, I leaned back and took stock. Full. Satisfied. No regrets. Five stars.

Despite the crowd, they kept the rounds coming without breaking a sweat. ​The standout feature for parents is undoubtedly the children's play area. It transforms the outing from a "quick drink" into a genuine family get-together where the adults can actually relax and converse while the kids stay entertained. ​The food is served via on-site truck options, and the quality is impressive. Even with a large order, everything was served quickly and arrived hot. Here's the breakdown of what we tried: ​Brisket Nachos: Heavy on the brisket and perfectly layered. ​Chicken Tenders: Crispy, juicy, and a hit with both the kids and the adults. ​Tacos: Fresh flavors and great portions. ​Fried Okra: The perfect salty snack to pair with a cold beer.

The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect for a kind of seedy but welcoming bar (if that makes sense). The food was good. Asian chicken slider was the best. Had a great flavor and was a big tender. The brisket quesadilla was okay - the brisket wasn't as flavorful as I would like and the cheese wasn't fully melted. The wings were good, but I still can't rationalize $12 for 6 tiny wings... but again good flavor and well cooked. And the fries were solid - crispy and hot and well seasoned. Would go back again and get the slider and fries and try more stuff.
