My history with this establishment is a masterclass in disappointment, a decade-spanning saga of…read moredishonesty that I feel compelled to share. It began years ago on a Mother's Day, a celebration with my entire family--my wife, our four kids, and my mother. While the rest of us ordered from the menu, my mother opted for the buffet. The meal itself was a preview of the incompetence to come: reheated food with that distinct microwave sogginess and a pervasive smell of harsh chemical cleaner that clung to the takeout containers we requested for leftovers. The most memorable moment was when my youngest, barely a year old, nibbled on one of my mother's buffet donuts, and the owner's son, about seven at the time, ran screaming toward the kitchen--a foreshadowing of the chaos this place inspires. The true spectacle arrived with the bill. Not only had they charged us for our menu items, but they had the audacity to charge all six of us, including the children, for the adult buffet. When questioned, the staff who had perfectly understood our complex order suddenly couldn't speak a word of English. We told them exactly what we thought of their scam by never returning. A decade later, my son, nostalgic for a childhood he's misremembered, begged to celebrate a chess victory there. Reluctantly, I agreed. While he was away from the table, the lady owner accosted me at the booth, demanding to know why we'd been absent for so long. I looked her dead in the eye and said, "It's prime supper time on a Friday night, and you have two customers. We told you we didn't like being ripped off; we told you with our feet." Now, with that son grown and moved out, I made the fatal mistake of giving them one final chance. Some things never change. The food was as mediocre as ever, but the audacity had been refined into an art form. I was billed for sixteen wontons and received a paltry four. When I called to rectify the mistake, the same delivery service they proudly advertise suddenly became unavailable. They can deliver your food, but they can never, ever deliver on their promises. A perfect record of failure spanning ten years is almost impressive. Save your money and your dignity; this is a place that sees customers not as guests, but as marks.

The pad Thai was disappointing and dry and not super authentic -- not recommended. But the chicken in the pad Thai was above average. We added some sauce at home and made it workable.

We typically like all Chinese buffets but this was awful. It's a very small buffet compared to most which is fine but the food was just nasty. The crab Rangoon was so undercooked it was soggy. The fried rice was yellow, not sure why. The meat tasted like it had set out for hours. They didn't even have a soft serve ice cream machine like most. They had small cups of pre packaged off brand ice cream. Two adults, a 3 year old and a 7 year old was $60. Fair price if the food was decent. If you have ever experienced decent Chinese I would not recommend this place. You will be disappointed.

My team tried a bunch of different things, and there was a solid mix to choose from everything from classic cookies and cake to ice cream and fruit. What stood out the most to me was the banana and chocolate shit. That was easily my favorite. The sweetness of the banana mixed with the rich chocolate just hit perfectly, and it was something I kept going back for. It wasn't too heavy either, which made it even better after a big meal. Overall, the desserts were fresh, flavorful, and a great way to finish everything off. Definitely a highlight of the buffet, especially if you've got a sweet tooth.
