    Self-explanatory

    The food was OK. Pretty standard fare. I knew I was in for a "treat" however when the hostess went to seat me at the table. Using her foot, she swept out the remnants of some other diner's meal with her foot. This included the, less than appetizing, crayfish shells and other nameless morsels. I can understand that wanted to tidy up a bit, but she merely left in a pile by the table u til it was swept away about fifteen minutes later. The picture I am including was from a table next to mine. You get the idea.

    I don't have super high expectations when it comes to going to a buffet but my friend wanted to stop here, so we did. We were sat at a table quickly and went to grab a plate. It wasn't until after eating that I saw a dead roach under my chair. I informed a waitress who shrugged her shoulders like it's a common complaint. If their dining room looks like this, I would hate to see the kitchen. Absolutely disgusting.

    Awful! I don't even know why we bothered to come here in the first place. We were next door looking at some glasses and thought why not stop in try a bite to eat it may not be horrible after all. We walk in and it's disgusting! The doors are all finger printed no one has bothered to clean those doors in maybe 3 weeks. They print everywhere how they have cameras to watch you eat- hmmm, uncomfortable. We literally had one plate and left. The sodas tasted awful! I bet if the South Carolina health department entered this location they'd shut it down immediately!!!! This place is awful. They have dirty floors, dirty tables, dirty windows and doors, we asked for plastic forks as the forks they gave us were dirty as well. Just don't go it's beyond disgusting! I wish I could give it a -10! This restaurant should be investigated.

    Spit the food out it sucks rats and roaches!! Macaroni was so disgusting tried to eat but my stomach got upset!! Not worth your money!!

    No stars!! There food is nasty!!! Run it not good everything is nasty!! They say it's fresh but it's not the taste!! The taste is rebury and it's old!! Please don't eat raza no coman aquí está feo y te obligan a pagar u que no te guste!! Y también te piden propina!! Ahora si llevas más de 7 personas ahora te quiere cobrar mucho más ojo lo que te cobran!!

    China Buffet on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston is a great place to get quality Chinese food at a really good value. The food here is consistently fresh, well prepared, and delicious. I like coming here for lunch or dinner after a really long day. They have really good customer service here and work hard to make sure that you are happy and have a good meal. It is good to have a good Chinese restaurant in this location.

    Omg, where do I begin... The place is HUGE!! Well lit and nicely decorated ... But our waitress struggled with the language barrier so it was hard sometimes to understand what she was telling or asking us. My boyfriend and I came to Charleston for the weekend and were determined to find a place with all you can eat crab legs because they closed the place where we're from. We had SERIOUS sticker shock though... $31.99 per person?!?!?!?! Plus a drink!!! Ouch!! The food was really good but if I had access to crab legs I wouldn't pay that price. Other than that we had a great dining experience.

    Worst Chinese buffet I've been to in this area. There's imitation crab meat in everything. Most foods are very bland.

    I went during their lunch special from 11 am - 4 pm and they offered $20 for Korean bbq and hotpot…read morewhich is a great price! I specifically came at 3:10 pm and the server notified me ahead of time that if I wanted that price I would only have until 4 pm which was about 50 minutes to eat. Totally do-able especially since I was a party of 1. Just a heads up their options for lunch is different from dinner hence the difference in price points of the two. Everything was buffet style so you would go to the bar to grab your meats, drinks, and sauces. If you wanted rice, kimchi, or other sides please let your server know. Service was great and attentive. My server often came by and offered to cut the pork belly which by the way were my favorite here. The restaurant gave me a sense of modern/hipster vibes which can be appealing for young crowds and it seems pretty clean overall. Definitely will be back to try their dinner options one day but it's a good spot for a cheap ayce during lunch time!

    My favorite restaurant in Charleston…read more I get the bbq but can't wait to try the hot pot. The price is fantastic considering I focus on proteins and don't fill up on rice. The bulgogi is fantastic, the sauce selection is huge, and the soft drinks are also unlimited. I try to go at least once a month. The ventilation is very good- you still smell like bbq when you leave but not as bad as other kbbq I've had. The staff is always very friendly.

I think the price is very reasonable for what you can get. There was a variety of options to choose from.

Lots of desserts and the pot roast was a bit dry but the butterfly shrimp made up for it However my experience was terrible thanks to the tall skinny white guy who was cooking the steaks. I stood in line to get a steak and told him medium rare. He put a burnt piece of steak on my plate and walked away to put new steaks on the grill. I sat down upset and found out a family member was giving a medium steak that he refused to eat so I traded with him. Before leaving I wanted to discuss my experience with the steak guy so he wouldn't mess up other people food. He denied the whole thing and told me that never happened. I asked one of the waitress for his name but she didn't know. I left giving him the middle finger. From now on -- place a number by each steak photo. 1 for rare and 5 for burnt ( well done). We can give the cook our fingers instead of talking through a sneeze guard in case the cook is too busy to pay attention to what we said. Don't fire the idiot but do as I advise. I went there 7pm 5/4/26 anniversary (star wars day)

    This was our first time trying out this restaurant, and there were definitely some pros and cons…read more Apparently, there are two sides to the restaurant. On one side it is an "all you can eat" menu. On the other side, you order à la carte off of a regular menu. On the all-you-can-eat side, it appears you'll probably need a reservation, as it is quite popular. We did not have a reservation but didn't want all you can eat anyway, so we sat on the side with the regular menu. The menu is quite large, with a good variety of sushi and other dishes. We got there during happy hour, and they had some great deals on appetizers, certain types of sushi, and drinks. Every employee that we encountered was friendly and helpful. The presentation of the food was lovely, as you can see from the photos below, but overall, the food was just so-so. The sushi was good, but definitely not the best I've ever had. It wasn't terrible, just nothing to write home about. We ordered fried calamari as an appetizer and that was not great, compared to other restaurants. It was fairly thick and heavily battered (as far as calamari goes), and tasted as if the oil hadn't been changed in a while. We also ordered regular egg rolls, which were OK. As far as ambience, for some reason many restaurants play loud music that isn't suitable for dining (have they always done this and I just never noticed?), and this is one of them. Overall, I do feel that we received good food for the price, and again, all of the employees were stellar. We will probably try this location again.

The karaoke rooms are pretty cozy, we had 6 people and it was still somewhat spacious. The karaoke goes on till 11 even thought the food stop being served at 9pm.

For the menu side of the restaurant I definitely recommend adding a lazy Susan for sharing apps.

Looking for a Chinese buffet today, the map gave me a buffet choice of Naan. I'm very happy that I tried it, because it was truly amazing. Not just the flavors in the taste, this Indian buffet with straight up only Indian food was delicious. I will now drive home in a near comatose state in need of a nap. If you are on a health kick, and you are only eating one meal a day (OMAD), which I am trying to get into the routine of, I can see myself coming here again for my one meal!

The Chicken Vindaloo had good spice, but the portion was disappointing -- I only got three pieces of chicken and two pieces of potato. The app tacos appetizer also weren't the same as they used to be. They previously featured a fried wonton wrapper with Chicken saucy Shizusan chicken, but whatever changes were made really missed the mark and ruined what used to be a favorite. Overall, the service could have been much better. I'd really love to see the restaurant return to the previous menu and quality. We won't be back.
