the front of a restaurant in the rain
Sterling C.

A coworker pickup food for everybody on her way to work. She suggested them and the food was really good and fresh. So today I'm back to try more of the menu. My 1st time here and like all Chinese restaurants pretty much the same setup. I did see they offered a buffet on some days. Clean, nice service, fast but not rushed. To me watching them whip the rice in the wok is like an art form. To get every grain evenly costed and cooked is a God sent talent.

I absolutely love this place! I loved the previous owners and the new ones are even better! Everything is super fresh, vegetables are always cook to perfection, never soggy. The beef fried rice is not at all greasy or over cooked. The beef and broccoli is amazing and not dry nor is the chicken and broccoli. I always add mushrooms and they are not shy with them. The crab ragoon is sooo delicious and still amazing the next day if you reheat in a toaster over. There is so much more I could talk forever. You would not be disappointed!

Food was very disappointing. Ordered $50 worth of takeout and the shrimp lo Mein and pork Fried rice was dark brown color- looked couple days old, and didn't taste right. Boneless spare ribs didn't taste good either. Not going back.

Nippon Grill and Seafood Buffet

Nippon Grill and Seafood Buffet is one of the few buffets that still feels alive. The dining room…read morestays full, the trays move quickly, and the food comes out hot instead of drifting into that tired, lukewarm zone that ruins most buffets. The space itself is well kept and clean, which matters more than people admit. A buffet lives or dies on maintenance, and Nippon shows real discipline in how it's run. It is not perfect, but it gives you real value for the price, and that alone sets it apart in a landscape where many buffets have declined or disappeared. The strength of Nippon is its seafood. They offer baby clams, crayfish, mussels, fish dishes, and soups that are light enough to enjoy without burning out early. These dishes give the buffet a sense of generosity that many places have lost. The sushi is what you expect from a buffet, not a handcrafted experience, but it is fresh enough and replaced often. The hibachi station adds another layer of variety, and the constant movement of the crowd keeps the food cycling at a steady pace. The imperfections are predictable. Some dishes are filler. The room can get chaotic at peak times. A tray might sit empty for a moment before the next batch arrives. None of this is surprising, and none of it ruins the experience. It is simply the nature of a busy buffet that is trying to keep up with demand. There is one piece of advice that makes the difference between a short meal and a long, satisfying one. The worst way to approach a buffet is to load your first plate with dense, heavy foods. You fill up fast and the meal ends before it begins. Nippon rewards a smarter approach. Start with the low volume seafood. Begin with clams, fish, salads, soups, and crayfish. These dishes let you warm up without tapping out early. You can enjoy more of the spread and actually experience the variety that makes the place worth visiting. The truth is simple. Nippon is not trying to be refined. It is a big, lively, well maintained seafood buffet that gives you heat, turnover, and enough range to make the price feel fair. If you approach it with a little strategy, you can feast for a long time and walk out satisfied. I actually love this place.

The restaurant was fairly already busy for Saturday afternoon and the food was made fresh by the time I arrived. This is a great place for families and couples. The price for buffet attendees isn't bad especially if you come during the weekend. They also have really cute gifts/jewelry that you can buy at their counter as well. I ended up buying two watches from them.

Beef was delicious as was the sauce. Won Ton soup was excellent too. Great broth and won tons were tasty. Even the white rice was well cooked, fresh tasting and not stuck together as you're dishing it out. First Chinese restaurant I have tried in area I actually will be ordering from again. Highly recommended.

My local Chinese restaurant in Holyoke, with an unjustly low rating at the time of this review…read more This is a no-frills establishment that carries a large menu of standard-fare American Chinese food. However, the quality has been exceptionally good, especially in the last couple years since there appears to have been a change in management. The portions are generous, the meat and especially the vegetables aren't overcooked (a problem I've encountered at some other places), and the staff are friendly and professional. Is it greasy? Yes, though not nearly as much as some other places around here. Is it healthy? Probably not, unless you get one of the steamed vegetable dinners in the "healthy section". Personally I don't get Chinese food for my health; my personal favorite order is the dinner combo plate with chicken and broccoli and fried rice. Comes with an egg roll and tastes perfect every time. The timeless General Tso's chicken is also a treat. I've been here enough that a year or two ago they even gave me a free tote bag, which is among my most cherished thing-holders today. If you live in Holyoke, forget the middling rating and give this place a try. It's a great place to have in the neighborhood.

This is a decent hotel for a casual trip to a Casino, but for a business conference, it was kind of…read morea let down. The hotel room didn't have a desk so I made a makeshift desk with the chair and an ironing board. I'm like the MacGruber of business travel. The pillows were actually decent and the room was nice too. The bed was comfortable and the guest bath had nice toiletries and a nice decor. It's way more expensive for a room than it should be considering the amenities at the casino. There's a sports bar that was huge and they also have an outdoor courtyard for watching sports (and other stuff too I'd imagine). Terry Bradshaw's head is even bigger on that TV. A lot of the restaurants are closed during certain weekdays, but the Italian pizza place/restaurant across the street was amazing. Go there for sure!

I also felt very clean in the room- no carpet (yay!). I also love that the casino is non-smoking. A few things that fell short of 5 stars- there is a place for valet parking- but no valet parking. On one side of the casino the ATM machines weren't working so we had to go to the complete other side. I loved the huge shower- and it was equipped with soap/shampoo/conditioner, but there was no shelf to put your own toiletries on.

The hot and spicy ramen was true to its name and definitely burned as it went down my throat, both temperature and spice. I also had the Shrimp killer roll, which was fine, not the star.
