Located inside an old chair, this place was amazing! Cool,…read morecasual yet elegant, service was outstanding and the food was really delicious and fresh. We came for brunch and they almost had to roll us out of there. They passed around oysters, shrimp cocktail and grilled pineapple with honey. Three different food stations: meat, vegetable and shrimp skewers was one; your choice of southern ham (prosciutto basically) or crab cake eggs benedicts was the second one and the third one I don't remember (mostly because I didn't quite make it there). In the middle they had lobster deviled eggs, assorted tea sandwiches and a small section with desserts. Everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Yes, it's expensive but so well worth it!! Parking can be an issue but the good thing is, you can walk off a little of everything that you ate so that's a win!

There is a large variety of chicken, pork, seafood, sushi, salad, and sides. The photo is just one plate of four. One of my favorites that is not depicted is their crawfish. Their spicy seasoning is perfect and they are juicy. I have always gotten good service as a solo diner. The waiters pick up the used plates from your table quickly. It is usually busy when I come in for dinner, but not crammed. The buffets are also kept pretty clean.

The staff were friendly- from receiving a warm greeting as soon as I walked in the door (and as I was leaving) to my very attentive waitress.

They have plenty of options and everything was fully stocked and my drink was refilled before I even needed it. Great experience!

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 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.
