    House chicken left, single piece of sweet and sour right and crispy pot sticker. All very good!
    Lydia K.

    Lots of fried food. Crisp veggies. Basic sushi but fresh. Ice cream in cups. I really enjoyed this buffet! The food came out in smallish portions in order to replenish often! I have never seen this before. Their house chicken was SO good and my favorite! Large chunks of white meat chicken friend and sprinkled with a seasoning I could not decifer. It was delicious as was all the other food. Their broccoli and green beans were cooked perfectly which is rare at a buffet! And to top it off the staff was super friendly. Will go back when visiting again!

    Highly disappointed with my experience here. My dad and I enjoy Chinese buffets because we can eat cheap, delicious food, so we decided to eat here for our meal after he had a long drive to come to Charlotte. We got to this location at 9:20pm and began eating by 9:25. By 9:30pm, 10 minutes after we had arrived, the food was already being taken away from the buffets! I expressed how we had just arrived and that we wouldn't have eaten here if we knew the food was being taken away already, but the manager only said that he could get me one more hibachi plate. I was livid. I gathered as much of the stale, dry, and abandoned food on the buffet that I could before it was taken away. It's obvious that the food had been sitting out for a couple hours and not restocked intentionally. Not only that, but the manager then said that they close at 10pm instead of their posted 10:30pm Friday time! They began rushing us out of the restaurant, so I had to shovel down as much food as I could before being kicked out and having to pay $60 for two people!!! This food is neither cheap, nor delicious. I will never be returning to this location again! No one eat here that values a good meal, it won't be found here, only empty buffets.

    This has been our GO-TO Chinese buffet since about 2014! Every single time we go, the food is always delicious and on point. They offer hibachi grill, ample selection of sushi, fruit, salad, and regular Chinese food along with a selection of dessert. There is never a wait for us to get a table, and even when we have gone and it's been super busy,there is never a wait. There is plenty of table seating and a wide open seating plan. Service is always great, and the waitresses to the hostess are always super friendly and accommodating. They always check the food to make sure they refill quickly, and we hardly ever get any food that seems that it has been sitting there for a while. They do offer plenty of parking spaces to choose from. For a good variety of food, I definitely recommend this Chinese Buffet.

    Decent for a Chinese buffet. I've had better and I've had worse. This one was definitely in the A-OK range. Seated quickly and off to the buffet, there was a good stock of plates ready. The steam tables were low on some items and it seemed like the kitchen was more focused on platters of delivery items being cooked and foiled up then placed on trolleys and taken out. This continued for about a half hour and then things improved some. I managed to stick to a keto-in-spirit eating program by avoiding the noodles and rice and battered. I did one trip to the hibachi that was mostly beef and onions and peppers, but the chef overcooked them to beyond well done. The beef turned tough. The sushi selections looked good and not all of them were covered in sauces. Some basic sashimi items there were nice. I skipped dessert and did not drink soda. $14 or so was fair for the amount and the quality of food. They also have a free wifi. My waitress kept my water refilled and cleared dishes promptly. When it was time for the check, she processed it quickly there too. [Review 11334 overall, 1111 of 2019.]

    0/5 Food was terrible, the plates, bowls, and spoons were plastic, ruined our evening, and was the causation of a terrible breakup

    Best Chinese Buffet across the four states, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina hands down! Clean dining room, clean restrooms and amazing service! Pricing is fantastic for all you can eat and they have take out too!! This is our go to spot every time we come to North Carolina and it should be yours!!!

    Had a blast with my family and friends For a Buffett I'll go back.server was the best though. He was really attentive.

    Worth every penny for the fresh hibachi, sushi, and pho bar. Everything else is pretty typical for a Chinese buffet.

    Are there crab legs on the buffet?

    It's been almost a decade since I've been here...but recently, we visited for dinner…read more The place looked just as I remembered it...but felt a few things were missing. Still, there were an abundant variety of items. The thing that impressed me the most was their ramen-noodle bar! Think this was the first buffet place that had that. Also, they had an unusual assortment of dessert items. Guess the thing I didn't love was their sushi rolls. As tempting as they looked, they just didn't taste too fresh...but that's a given, in that I don't think I've ever had truly amazing sushi roll in any buffet place. Overall, we enjoyed the buffet...and vowed that we'll return sooner than later next time!

    The food was decent, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience. My dad and I…read morewere finishing our meal around 8:45 pm, and the restaurant closes at 9 pm. Our server started pushing us to pay while we were still eating. I politely asked if I could pay at the front like I normally do, but she didn't speak English and became very pushy and rude. They began removing dishes from the table before closing time and before giving any kind of last call. I asked to speak with the manager, but when he arrived he also did not speak English, so there was no real way to properly explain the situation. At 9:01 pm we were basically told to leave. I completely understand restaurants have closing times, but there is a respectful way to handle it, usually by giving customers a heads-up and allowing them time to finish their meal instead of rushing them out the door. As someone who worked in restaurants when I was younger, I know that basic communication and courtesy are essential. What also felt uncomfortable was the atmosphere among the staff. The employees seemed extremely nervous and afraid to speak or explain anything, which made the whole situation feel strange and unsettling. It honestly gave the impression that they were scared to say the wrong thing or do anything outside of strict instructions, which was sad to witness. Overall, the food might be fine, but the service and the way the situation was handled made it a very disappointing experience.

The prices were still $30 a head. I don't think there was a time limit for how long you could stay then. Now it's $40 a head (which inflation.... I get it) with a two hour limit. My main issue is the ambiance is horrible!!! They painted the big wooden booths with this cheap sticky black paint that's slowly coming off. I was wearing shorts and it was PAINFUL if I got up too quickly. The lighting is cold and uncomfortable. It's not a welcoming place to dine anymore. A completely depressing environment. Everything looks like it's in disrepair and being very poorly maintained. The quality of the meats has gone down as well. The sides were not fresh. Especially the cucumbers. This is no hate to the staff but almost everyone that worked there seemed miserable as well. They did a great job but it just seemed like they all were sad for some reason. I truly think it's the environment. I would hate working at such a depressing restaurant. The staff were attentive and consistently checking on us. They never left us alone for too long! There was one guy with glasses that was exceptional. He was great with the small details of serving. Always pre bused something from the table every time he came by. If you're smart you will bump his hourly and make him a shift manager/ trainer. The staff is the reason I'm not giving one star. Korean culture is vibrant and fun! Please hang up some art work and posters. Hire someone to remove that god awful sticky paint! Which I know you can't clean properly. Change the lightbulbs to warm lighting. Put out some fun decor on the tops of the booths. Make your restaurant into a place people naturally feel happy to be at. Paint over that black wall in the back and fill it from top to bottom with Korean art work as an accent wall! Or put in giant decorative shelves with plants and collectible Korean toys. DO ANYTHING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Pictures of famous mosques and clerics adorn the walls and every table features thick clear plastic over Punjabi textiles. There was a strong language barrier with the server and Google Translate seemed to be less effective in Pakistani than in other languages. Full shredded raw onion over a cup of saffron rice, with 2 slender chicken kubideh for $25... and it was tiny for take out. I asked about the Jarzamzam drink and the only explanation was, that it was too expensive for the staff to try. Siri finally spoke up on her behalf and I know that's it's water from a sacred well in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Finally, I tried the Lassi, which in my minds is a sweet yogurt drink flavored with mango. This on was plain, salty, and a bit lumpy. It was obviously homemade but like being in a Tourist Bar in Thailand...sometimes you need to ask more follow up questions.
