a receipt for delivery
Dana N.

I didn't even receive 2 things that I ordered for take out. The shrimp chow mein turned out to be some shrimp soup with celery and bamboo shoots. I didn't even receive the cream cheese wantons AT ALL. So that's $20 that I didn't need to spend on food that I didn't even receive. Extremely frustrating as I just wanted to enjoy my lunch that I spent $50 on. Probably won't be going back since 1. I lost so much money, 2. I waited 30 minutes for my food, 3. Everything is soupy and not to our liking. Very upsetting I want my money back.

Has been a few years since our visit here. We stopped by late on a Saturday evening for dinner - still a bit leery from the last visit, when the food was a complete disaster. Staff were friendly and attentive as ever and we were quickly seated at the booth. We settled on a veg spring roll, governor's chicken and a fried rice. The food arrived quickly and we were pretty surprised at how good the food tasted. A significant improvement since our last visit. Our meal was not greasy and the flavor and spice levels were perfect. We had plenty of leftovers! On our way out, we chatted with the owner who told us that the chef - who had left for a short while - is now back! That might explain the jump in quality of the food... We'll certainly be back!!

Smelled terrible. Looked like dog food.

Good food! Cream cheese wontons are good. And all the tofu dishes are really good! They use MSG, but I always have them leave it out.

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.

Was very impressed with take out order. And was very reasonably priced for the amount each of the…read moreorder provided.

I had written this review but never got around to posting it. I went here back in September of…read more2025. Service was hard at first. We had a big group of 12 and we weren't sure if we needed to get a table first and then pay, or how it worked. And the servers didn't understand what we were trying to ask. The buffet had limited selection of food, which some of was okay. My favorites were the egg drop soup, cream cheese ragoon and green beans. The desserts were also okay. It's definitely a place if you want to stuff up on a lot of food at an okay price.

Update: Still very very flavorful food for a Chinese buffet,…read moretypical items but tasty. Fried chicken wings are very good. Still not using as much ginger in them which is great for us. Just a hint. Fried fish, I can't ever get enough of it, absolutely one of my favorites. well worked and constantly cleaned and filled and best thing of all hot. Salads and deserts still fresh. Drinks are still included in buffet as well as a soft serve machine. Also white and the best chocolate milk available as well. We come here at least twice a month now for the last year and still consistently good food every time. Still our heavy to go place for Chinese if you're looking for an assortment. Bathrooms are always clean, as well as the buffet area. Plates are cleared quickly off the tables. They also offer a menu as well. Yessss we love this place still.
