The staff was happy to accept my coupon and I paid $7.58 for my meal. The restaraunt was very tidy and the food was very good. If you are familiar with the chain Panda Express it was nearly the same quality only all you could eat and a drink was included in the price. Music was exceptional. There are quite a bit of choices at this buffet, including 10 different choices of ice cream. The food was still fresh, aside from the steamed rice, but they were out of coffee. I could expect nothing less at 9pm. I did not feel rushed during my meal and would definately come back. I highly recommend this buffet for the dinner price and staff attentiveness. Hours of operation 11am-10pm everyday.

Everything dipped an oil tasted like weeks old oil . If you don't mind what you put down your gullet , 1350 is a pretty good bargain to walk away with a full stomach . But if you appreciate the wonderful flavors of most Chinese food , I would avoid this stop . After sampling 15 different foods or so the only thing I can look forward to was the end of the meal where I could go grab one tiny little cup of iced over orange sherbet of which when I finally dug into found out the bottom third was all ice water that froze and separated from the rest of the cup . Every dessert and cookie tasted like they each had 36 ingredients none of which were natural Foods. To go back to the positive , I did leave full it was consumable , and I actually don't regret spending $13.50 to not have to eat again for possibly 48 hours , because my desire for food has been driven below the depths of my soul . And I imagine that's not coming back for a day or two . But if you love chinese, do not possibly ruin your appreciation of the creative and succulent flavors of authentic oriental food . That was not Chinese food , it was Americanized versions with tons of sugar in every thing that was sweet and maybe even some things that weren't . I do not know if they use MSG . But in this particular circumstance if they did use it they should have used more even though I don't like to eat things with MSG I'm sure it actually would have improved the flavor . Sorry to be so harsh I know everybody works hard . But need a new Chef new recipes or something . This camper was not happy . Best part of my day when I was able to consume four Tums and drink a wineenkugel's honey Weiss beer

The wood floors are nasty white with stains. I was too afraid to go to washroom. Chicken wings old.

It was a slow night in the restaurant, so they did keep the buffet minimally stocked, which was understandable. Two things that stood out for us was that the food was not overly salty and also oily.

Not much for ambience, but I think it's more about diners looking for variety and a quick meal at a fairly low price.

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.

From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional--everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. It really made the experience feel special. The food was incredible.

The chicken dishes were tender and delicious, the cream cheese wontons were crispy and packed with creamy goodness, and the beef was cooked just right. Every bite was fresh and satisfying. On top of all that, the place was spotlessly clean, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

The interior is reminiscent of a beach town restaurant- which makes some sense. Clean and comfortable with a separate bar. The menu is large- lots of Sushi, nigiri and some American style food as well.

Nonetheless there is still plenty vegans and vegetarians can eat. I chose the spicy edamame as a starter and the hibachi with Tofu as my entree. Both were fine, not spectacular.
