    Located in a plaza with a big parking lot. Dinner was $30 with a forced 12% service charge (not tip). There was a wide selection of sushi and sashimi. There was also a variety of really sweet bubble tea with popping boba and ice cream. Dinner included 2 types of crab, crab legs, and cooked oysters. However the oysters were left out so long that the meat was shriveled and hard and wasn't edible anymore. I liked how they had frog legs and really soft spare ribs. The meat on the pork belly was too hard to bite though. When I went, the fish was left out for a while so the meat was hard, but then later when it ran out, they brought out a new cooked fish which had soft meat. You can also ask them for a tool to help you crack the crab legs. There is also a hibachi station and the option for hotpot. The service was good since it wasn't that busy when I went and they took away the dirty plates while I went to get more food.

    We came here with a large group for my nephews graduation. I'm so glad we did. The food was amazing On staff sushi chef There is a station with a hibatchi style grill. Yum Plenty of parking in the lot Staff was attentive I don't live close but if I did then I would be a regular customer

    They Know ME Really Well Here  ;D

    You can feed some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't feed all of the people all of the time. . unless you are an all-you-can-eat style Chinese Buffet. So if you leave here and you're still hungry it's your own damn fault, Lol.    I've been here a few times for Lunch and found it to be a pretty solid buffet. It offers good food at decent prices and my work crew can get filled up here so they always like when we hit this place up.    Service is on point and they usually maintain their buffet trays in order to keep most things well stocked. Also I've never had any issues getting used dishes removed from the table or drink refills delivered in a timely manner.   Overall this is pretty good place for getting my munch on and that's the name of that Tune.

    You are getting lobster and crab legs for 30 bucks!! Adult!! But I bought a kid that doesn't eat anything and it cost me $16 for him to not eat anything! Also has hibachi and dessert. Maybe it is quantity but I thought that quality was pretty good.. I saw one of the servers taking a lunch break at a table cuz she was so hungry and stuff her face in a matter of 3 minutes before getting back to work.. ;;-0~~~~ Also, kids 3 to 5 should not be paying $16 and 6 to 8 or whatever shouldn't be charge $18. Kids 3 to 5 should maybe pay 10 bucks.

    I was in town and told my bestie that I wanted to go to Flaming Grill buffet because NOSTALGIA and it was just as good as it was 20 years ago. Food is always fresh and hot. The staff are nice and ready to help you. They pick up the plates and just very attentive. It is a HUGE restaurant with an upstairs and downstairs. The food is so good. Fried rice, sushi, seafood, lobster, crab legs, chicken, pork, fish, hibachi - YOU NAME IT, they got it. Ample parking as it is in a plaza. Great price. Clean restaurant

    Great for large groups!

    This buffer was a great choice for our large group for dinner! The buffet has something for everyone ranging from pizza, lo mein, lamb chops, and even bubble tea! They even gave us a huge snow crab in butter to share! Definitely unforgettable.

    I should have been charged $7.59/lb, but they intentionally overcharged me at $8.99/lb after they looked at my food.

    I've lived in the area for a long time, and I have seen this "restaurant" close and reopen several times. Each time I hope for an improvement, and each time I am disappointed. I was hoping things would finally improve with this new incarnation, so I decided to stop in for some takeout. They charge by the pound and the price depends on the categories of food that you take. I decided to try some of the normal buffet foods (lo mein, General Tso chicken, cream cheese wontons, duck, and short ribs.). I also got a few pieces of what they called lobster with ginger. I knew the few pieces of lobster (seafood) would make the price a bit higher, but I was fine with that. Unfortunately, the woman at the counter argued with me and made me pay an even higher price for "hibachi, steak, and sushi", which I did NOT get. She told me I had duck (one tiny piece) which was higher, yet it was not on the list. She told me I had short ribs (two tiny pieces) which were higher, yet was not on the list. I asked her if she wants to lose a customer by charging incorrectly, and she took my credit card and knowingly overcharged me. I even took a picture of the pricing so I could have proof. Anyway, I decided to just enjoy my lunch anyway, so I got home and started eating. Everything was extremely flavorful - IF you count grease as a flavor. Pieces of lobster were unrecognizable and there was no meat to be found. It was all breading and grease. When they hack up the lobster before coating it and deep frying it, they clearly remove all of the meaty parts. Tail meat was clearly non-existent. Lo mein was grease-laden with no taste. General Tso chicken was horrible, and I even bit into a small bone! The wontons were greasy and weirdly sweet. Duck was just dry, tasteless, and disgusting. Short ribs were beyond chewy, inedible and flavorless. This may be the worst restaurant in this location in 20 years. When I think it can't get any worse, you did it. Congratulations.

    This place is a dump. The food is overcooked and even the lo mein was bad. Save your $29 and go elsewhere.

It's sort of Flushing very West. Often we are among the few diners who are not Asian. Food is excellent, authentic and reasonable. Yes I said reasonable. Quantities are large and often you take home leftovers for tomorrow. The kitchen is very accommodating to vegetarians, or just don't eat some food like pork and those who want less spicy food. Great dishes - I go with several mostly adventurous eaters so here goes - Cumin Lamb, Dan Dan noodles, Beef and Tripe with Chili Sauce (true confession I love tripe), Hot and Sour soup, Hunan Fried Fish with Spicy Sauce, Hunan Whole Braised Fish and Sichuan Mapo and Sichuan Fried Fish. One absolutely wonderful dish is Eggs with Tomatoes, which is sort of street food in China, as well as in many other cultures. It's simple and delicious. I've taken to making it at home using a New York Times recipe. But don't think the "regular" dishes aren't prepared with the same care and aren't as tasty. They are. The setting is pleasant and they have several tables with Lazy Susans so you can swirl food around. Service is prompt and quick. And if you get a dinner, you get ice cream!

Didn't get a chance to try it out until yesterday and man, we were missing out. The yunnan rice noodle soups are so good, and different, from the more commonly found Asian noodles; ramen, udon, pho, etc. Not going to say that it's better than the others but it's absolutely fantastic that there's another option now when you just want a warm, comforting noodle soup. Especially since winter is coming. The setup is more akin to a food court than a restaurant so the small seating area is shared with Kam Man and all the tableware/utensils are plastic and disposable. There's a door to the outside basically right there though so unless you're seated to either side of it you get blasted w/cold air every time someone enters or exits. For my first visit I went with their "pickled pepper soup rice noodle w/beef stew" (A8) and it was very good. The soup was flavorful and the noodles were perfect; fresh & not mushy at all. And digging through the bowl was like going on a treasure hunt for lil' yummy morsels: a quail egg here, some wood ear there, a random piece of thinly sliced ham, good stuff. However, for those of you w/nut allergies, they do add roasted peanuts to some of their dishes so you'll probably want to tell them to not add them to your food. The only minor neg with the dish was that the beef brisket was a tad tougher than I'd like. But if brisket isn't your thing, they also have the same dish but with "beef roll" (A7) which I found to be an odd translation for basically thinly sliced beef. I was so enamored w/this noodle soup that I brought my wife the very next day. I went with the same soup base but w/fish fillet (A9) this time and it was just as good as the first time. I will definitely have to come more often to try out their other offerings. I also noticed that they have rice based dishes as well in case you get tired of noodles. So anyway, I'll definitely be visiting a lot more and I really hope they stick around longer than the previous eateries at this location. And while it would be nice (if not really feasible) to get your food in 10 seconds as their name implies, so far their food has definitely been worth the wait.
