Our ROMEO group of 6 went here for the first time today. We've hit four other buffets in the…read moreColumbia area and wanted to try this one based on the reviews. We were seated immediately and the waitresses brought out or drink orders. They were very good throughout the whole meal in checking and replenishing our drinks. They had a great variety of food with almost too many types of chicken to mention. I had some nice crisp and meaty chicken wings, fried fish, grilled flounder (which was my favorite). The guys sampled the sweet and sour soup and two had the chef prepare their hibachi chicken and stir fry dishes. Desserts were good but there weren't many chocolate choices... and if any thing was weak it was the desserts. The banana pudding really didn't have bananas in it. They had a good selection of sushi rolls to choose from and a decent salad bar. Mussels, Octopus, shrimp, crab...you name it. I think our price was around $20 for the meal and they add 15% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. We agreed that most of the buffets in town are very comparable. The restaurant was very clean and well laid out. We ended up giving it an aveage of 3.9 for the visit.

I was quite impressed with their old school creamy jello desserts, just like my Grandma used to make. My favorite part was the made to order stir fry. I did shrimp, mushrooms, onions, bean sprouts and noodles. It came out amazingly delicious. The set up and decor was very nice. Last, but not least, our waitress was quick to pick up our empty plates. I'd definitely go again to enjoy more of the buffet that I didn't have the chance to partake of.

OH MAN, will we be back. There were tons of options on the buffet for all diets and tastebuds. I've been doing a fitness plan, so I ate the grilled chicken, green beans and cabbage. OK, and I tasted the fried chicken and biscuits. It was all DELICIOUS. I was mad when I got full after 1 plate, I had my eye on a number of the other items on the buffet. My husband said the fried pork chops were to die for. He had 3 plates with butter beans and rice. At $17 per person, you get the buffet, as well as drinks with unlimited refills. Just be aware that drink options are only Tea, Water and Lemonade - no soft drinks to be found here! Totally worth it and only open on Sundays, so the place was mobbed. Hope you enjoy!

The rolls were hot right out of the oven, light and fluffy almost like a krispy cream donut without the frosting. Waitress came around fast for refills on our drinks. I really liked the fried chicken. The batter was light yet crispy. Really good! They had ham as well and that was good too. Pretty good size buffet. Lots of veggies to choose from as well as hot dishes. You could find something even if you were picky. The Mac and cheese has to be mentioned it was no box mix! Just like Mom made , cheesy goodness!! When your done eating they had a peach cobbler that looked homemade as well as ice cream in a machine, no fake ice cream either! Creamy and delicious!! We will for sure take a ride over again sometime. Its approx a hour and a half away.
