    I'm not the biggest fan of buffets now that I'm a bit older and do not have an iron stomach anymore. However, having a buffet open in Littleton is fairly exciting so we decided to give it a try. Everyone working is really friendly and our plates were cleaned up in a timely manner. The prices are reasonable also. $21pp for a weekday dinner is quite the steal in this economy. We tried a bit of everything, but what stood out was the Monglian grill. The sauces are very concentrated though, so definitely only use half to 1 scoop of sauce for your bowl, it is very salty. The fried chicken was delicious and highly recommend grabbing some of those. The coconut shrimp was tender and sweet. The salmon was also cooked and seasoned well. Skip the crab and the sushi was not the best and definitely not the star of the buffet. They also have an ice cream station with soft serve along with packaged ice cream. These were nice to have, but nothing memorable. We arrived around 5:30 and there were plenty of tables, but by the time it was 6:30 it was packed. We were seated in a booth and we also needed a high chair and it was abnormally tall to meet the height of the table. However, my son couldn't even reach the table because it was too far and it was very inconvenient. I'd recommend getting a non booth with a normal high chair if it's available. The biggest tables could fit about 6 people. Otherwise, it is a family friendly buffet. I honestly can't complain for the price.

    Went twice. First time was like 10 minute wait. Second time was closer to an hour so business is good. A bit pricey for me for a buffet because 3 of us was about 100$ before tip. Food was fresh both times. The service was ok when trying to get refills and the plates cleared. I don't eat sushi so I can't offer any advice. There are still signs of the previous restaurant which I'm guessing was seafood based on decorations. Nothing was particularly bad, but I felt it didn't warrant a 5 star.

    For the price and the selection not bad. There's not many places like this left so if you want to get your buffet fix and to try a selection of items then why not. For $21 dinner price you can't beat all the options you have. There's also desserts, ice cream, pizza for your picky eaters, seafood options and Mongolian grill options where you can create your own stir fry. Come hungry and try some good food. They literally just opened a couple days ago so yes it can get busy but I feel like they were moving the tables pretty quick even at 6:30pm on a Friday night. The place was really clean and I enjoyed the vibes. Below are a few photos that I took of the items I tried. The banana pudding was also very good. They a little of everything if you want or stick to one thing, whatever you prefer.

    I have been waiting for this restaurant to open for nearly a year and I'm thrilled it's finally open. They are calling it a "soft opening" but it's open and running. I grabbed my wife and her new girlfriend and headed over. We were all impressed from the second we walked in until we walked out. The decor is eye catching and beautiful. Everything is new, clean and shiny. The staff were all exceptionally pleasant, polite, helpful and efficient. The food choices lean more towards Asian type cuisine but they have plenty of basics of Americans type foods. I enjoyed their soft serve ice cream bar as well. Parking was simple and there plenty of it. It's in a really nice area of town with Marston Lake right behind it. This place is a hit and all three of us really enjoyed ourselves. The big plus? Very LGBT friendly. I highly recommend this new buffet.

    Arrived at 5pm on a Sunday thinking I'd beat the crowds, but was surprised to see a crowd already! Waited for 20 min for our table, not bad for a new highly anticipated soft opening for a buffet. I did enjoy the food variety and Mongolian grill. Sushi- I thought was better than most other similar places in the Denver metro area. Restaurant is clean, I loved the hand washing station out in the open (don't need to go into the bathroom), the soft serve was fun as well. Will definitely come back!

    Discovered this new Asian buffet in Littleton to meet up with a friend. The place is decent sized. We got there right about 5 pm on a Wednesday night before the dinner rush. Place was clean and servers every where. We were seated immediately. One thing I liked about this buffet is that they have sinks to just wash your hands outside of the restrooms, which I like a lot. Any buffets you go to is just a casual ambiance, nothing fancy. Food I would say is decent. Don't expect fine dining when coming to a buffet. The best thing I enjoyed there was the green beans, battered fried shrimp, Chinese donut, Thai chicken, and the little ice cream cups. You can't really go wrong with food choices here. Price was definitely reasonable. Overall experience was good.

    City buffet is your standard Chinese and sushi buffet with a Mongolian grill as well. I've been excited to try it since it opened a few months ago, as it's now the closest all you can eat Chinese place to my house. The sushi was better than most buffet sushi. The meats we tried were not dry, the Thai chicken was so incredibly garlicky it was all I could taste for a while. The Mongolian line moved quickly. The staff were very friendly from the start, and I like how there's plenty of booth seating. Before tip, it was $54 for two, so a little more expensive than some buffets but pretty average.

It came with a large waffle, two pieces of fried chicken, honey butter, and maple syrup. The honey butter was really good, but I was expecting the chicken to have more seasoning and heat based on our server's description. Overall, it was solid and definitely scratches the chicken-and-waffles itch, but I don't think I'd order it again. I've had some outstanding versions elsewhere, so this one didn't quite stand out. I'd still come back to try some of the walleye options and enjoy the patio.

All the staff members I encountered were very friendly, nice and attentive which was a huge plus, especially considering how busy it was that day.
