    Food options are decent with three Buffet rows but everything is plastic from the plates to the silverware and the place is run down and dirty.

    Atmosphere - Strip Mall decor. It was around 8pm and we were in the mood for Chinese food. Unfortunately, in the area the options were limited. Especially at that time of night. We are not crazy about buffets, but we decided to give this a try. The restaurant is somewhat dingy and the furniture is cheap and dated. There is a combination of booths and tables. They use paper plates and plastic cutlery (which I assume is due to Covid). Service - Good. Not much to do for a staff person in a buffet, but bring drinks, clear tables of used service items, and keep the food trays full at the buffet. All areas of service were handled well and promptly. Food - Average. The selection was very limited in terms of Chinese food items. In fact, there were nearly as many "American food items". What there was, was hot and tasted OK. I especially liked the Hot n Sour soup. The chicken lo mein was bland with very little chicken. The fried rice was not very good. The sweet n sour chicken, the General Tso's chicken and Teriyaki chicken were decent as well, but they were not as hot (temperature wise) as I would have preferred. Overall - Just OK. If I were to return to the area and wanted Chinese food I would look for other options

    We were craving Chinese food after a Pickleball tournament and discovered this place tucked away in a strip mall. We haven't done anything like this since the pandemic and were a little anxious about it, but since we have both had the vaccine we gave it a try. The restaurant is fairly large and all employees wear masks. All plates and utensils are plastic and styrofoam, so not my favorite way to eat. One buffet had soups and eggs rolls, spring rolls, etc. The soup was extremely hot, but the wonton soup was very good. The egg roll was good also. Next stop was the entree station. Not as much to choose from as I had anticipated. General Tso's, Lo Mein, teriyaki chicken and some others. The other buffet was full of American food which isn't why we came here, so that was disappointing. There was also a salad and dessert bar. The dessert bar was pretty picked over so we didn't find anything interesting. They did have a chocolate fountain that you could dip marshmallows as well as cookies. Prices were decent, and food was decent, just nothing outstanding.

    All I can eat sweet baby rays buffalo wings!

    This place is great, the food is fabulous even at 2pm. Love the Wings, Sweet Baby Rays Buffalo or Franks. The buffet was always full and delicious, really great food, they have a chef and not a cook.

    Food was hot!

    I'm from Columbus and we've been to like...every Chinese buffet in town. This is one of the best. I mean it's your standard buffet but the food is prettttyyy good and their sushi bar is LEGIT. You can't expect much from a place like this..but my expectations were exceeded (especially since the reviews suck.) I used to drag my boyfriend to buffets all the time so he's not a huge fan anymore but even he said it's the best! That says a lot so 2 thumbs up from us!

    The buffet selection is pretty typical of a Chinese restauran. Best is the price

    Very old school inside which, for me, is half of the charm. I had broccoli chicken which was served…read morepiping hot and included ham fried rice. I've never heard of ham fried rice but it was delicious!

    Between 3.5-4.0…read more This restaurant is perfectly located across from the Stranahan Theater and we met here for a pre-concert dinner. It's in a strip mall but the inside ambiance is rather cozy. They do not serve alcohol, in case that matters. They do serve complimentary tea though. In ordering entrees, there is a soup included with no additional charge. We ordered two chicken rice soups and a chicken noodle soup. One person wanted the vegetable soup but it wasn't available. My chicken rice soup was predominantly rice with maybe three bits of chicken and little soup. The two others in our party seemed to enjoy their soup. For entrees, one ordered Mu Shu Chicken, another the Sweet & Sour Chicken and I originally ordered Chicken with Asparagus but was later told they didn't have asparagus so I opted for Chicken with Peapods. I have included photos of our entrees below. For two of us, the entrees were barely warm but the Mu Shu Chicken entree was reportedly hot. For some reason, the service was rather slow even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. Our young server tried hard and seemed to be hurrying to each of the few tables. Overall, it seemed that the restaurant had a lot of carryout orders and the customers dining in did not appear to receive priority treatment. The food once served was decent quality- though two entrees weren't hot enough- not that we would send them back. I'm sure leftovers will taste better once fully heated. I would give this restaurant another chance. It seemed to perhaps be an off night. The quality of food was fresh.

    Yang's Gourmet House - Chicken with Peapods. Nice quality though not hot enough. Needed salt but better than overly salty.
