Food looks good. A good amount of options for actual food but mostly everything else looks like snacks and sweets and like sides. Salmon was dry but it's been sitting for a while I'm guessing. Sushi looks fresh and nice. Only thing my friend got one sushi that said it was definitely from yesterday and old. I believe her she's a sushi fanatic she knows her sushi. A good amount of staff so if you have any questions you can't miss one and I like how I'm seeing someone always cleaning tables and going around picking up trash or left overs. Good thing though a lot of sitting! Plenty of space to breathe and move around. Also theirs a little shop on the side too you can go in and buy stuff.

Super tender chicken and the sauce was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor perfectly spiced without being too heavy.

The owner is always there super welcoming and constantly checking in to make sure you're taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in the food and the experience.

An Unforgettable, World-Class Casino Experience!…read more I cannot say enough good things about Black Oak Casino Resort! I visited recently as a complete beginner, and the experience was second to none. The highlight of the night was at the Pai Gow table. My friend generously put down a Benjamin just so I could learn the ropes and get a feel for the game. I was a bit nervous at first, but the dealers were extremely helpful, patient, and fantastic teachers. Thanks to their guidance, I walked away feeling completely comfortable and confident with the game. It must have been beginners luck, but I immediately won my friend's initial bet back and came up a bit. Beyond the stellar gaming education, the customer service across the entire resort was top-notch. The staff goes above and beyond, drinks are readily offered to customers to keep the good times rolling, and the facilities themselves were absolutely immaculate. Whether you are a seasoned player or a novice looking to learn, this place makes you feel welcome and taken care of. I'll definitely be back!

Their staff is beyond friendly, and always very helpful. I really do enjoy eating down stairs at The Charlie. Great pizza and great drinks.

Really appreciate this place!

Heck, they all usually even have pizza and French fries if you don't want Chinese food! No hamburgers though, like Mexican places. This New King Buffet, (super common name for Chinese buffets for some reason), is located way in the back of a shopping area off East Hatch Road. Look for the Cost Less Foods store, it's back and to the right of that. Glad we had the GPS to get us here. It sort of looks a little run down and older, not one of these new fancy Chinese buffets with tons of Chinese people in line, eating strange food from tide pools, nope, more or less American Chinese here. We go in and it's actually decently large enough with all the normal selections or foods, like noodles, hot and sour soup, sweet and sour stuff and egg rolls. Lunch time so no crab out. Service is the usual Chinese efficient, just to fill drinks and clear plates is all. Everyone filled up and thought the food was decent and no complaints, so that's good. I like it doesn't take too long to do lunch here, outta here in under an hour. I hate places we end up spending 2 hours at for lunch. Buffets are good for fast lunch.

A lot of people complaining about the food here are speaking out of ignorance. They obviously don't know the difference in Chinese food. This place serves traditional Cantonese food. Most people don't know the difference between Cantonese, Mongolian and Mandarin food. The food is cooked, prepared and taste different depending on the region of cuisine. This is the best place to get traditional Cantonese Chinese food. The food has always been prepared fresh and I have never had a complaint about this place. I also read a comment comparing it to Panda express. That has got to be the most ignorant thing I have ever read. The food here is cooked traditional, fresh and prepared by Cantonese Chinese. It's not instant fast greasy food prepared by a high school student. This place has been in business for years so it's apparent there doing something right. read more

They used to be very good but they have downgraded the food. The meat is very chewy, lots of fat on it the shrimp is mostly breading with a small shrimp inside. The crab cakes taste strange. We still eat there when we are desperate for Chinese food. read more
