    I was first interested in this restaurant cause I saw on social media it was only $25 and had a huge variety of food like snow crab legs and prime rib. They have 2 locations one in Tracy and one I Gilroy. I went to the Tracy location and was disappointed going in. I was most excited for the snow crab legs but they didn't have any even considering it was a first night. Majority of the seafood was seasoned salt and pepper style which got too salty after the 2nd round. Majority of the food looked like it was sitting there for hours. I wouldn't be surprised if it was considering there was only 3 groups of people in the restaurant for a Friday night crowd.

    Little corn nubs.  A little hard to eat, but the corn was sweet and delicious.

    I'm spending the night in Tracy, so I decided to come back and try their dinner menu. I was not disappointed. As the last time, , the place was clean, and the people were very friendly. The dinner menu had most of the amazing things from the lunch menu, but they also had some very good other items. Some of the items on the menu were, peel and eat, shrimp, salt, and pepper, shrimp, "13 spiced crawfish", (no thank you, I'm not *THAT*brave...) frog legs, (people say they taste like chicken... They have the texture of chicken, but to me, the taste was more of a cross between chicken and fish). They also had fried crab, real crab in the shell. How can you not like the taste of real crab? As before, the sushi was very good, and on the dinner menu they have my favorite Chinese buffet item, coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp here is amazing. The shrimp are lightly breaded, and the coconut sauce is sweet, but not overly so. Another shrimp, item they had, was shrimp, stuffed chicken. A piece of chicken, with a shrimp in the middle of it. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the shrimp and the chicken played very well together. They also had four different kinds of soups, I tried the egg drop soup and the miso soup. The egg drop soup was rich and flavorful, as was the miso soup. I've had very salty miso soup before, but it depends on the type of miso they use. This was not very salty at all. There was only one thing I didn't really care for, and that was the peanut butter, lo mein. To me, it was OK, but it just tasted like plain lo mein. I couldn't taste the peanut butter. That was the only thing I didn't care for, not worth taking off a star. I tried several desserts, they had like a strawberry pudding that was good, I had the bananas in. I believe it was strawberry sauce, also very good. They had a full chocolate cake, and it was rich, moist, and very chocolatey. Finally, I had the banana pudding again, and that was just as good as the last time. The price for dinner is very reasonable. They do charge an automatic gratuity now, anywhere from 8 to 15%, depending on the number of people in your group. Even with the automatic gratuity, with food, drink, tax, and gratuity, I was only out the door $27 and change. That was with the 10% senior discount, but even at full price it would've been worth it Once again, I really enjoyed my meal here. 谢谢

    I was in town visiting family, some of who had been here a couple weeks before and decided we should all go. We went around 7:30pm on a Saturday Night with 12 people. It was $25.99/person. They also have children prices based on age. I thought there may be a wait but the place is pretty big and there was no wait at all. It was busy but not overcrowded. Living in Las Vegas and visiting many different buffets, I was impressed by this one. There is lots, and I mean lots of seafood. They have sushi, crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, clams, fish, oysters, etc. They have seafood chilled and also fried. If seafood isn't your thing they have lots of other choices such as fried chicken or wings, chow mein, bbq spare ribs, dumplings, spring rolls, fried rice, fries, veggies, etc. Also several chicken, beef and pork stir fry dishes (think orange chicken, broccoli beef). The Hibachi Grill is great. You pick out your protein, veggies, noodles, rice etc and they cook it for you. They have desserts and self serve drinks included. We all enjoyed our dinner. The place is clean and they have enough employees to keep the food trays full and things organized. They bus tables quickly and everyone is nice. The last time my family came, they saw the robot in action. The robot wasn't moving around today but we were seated right next to where it is and it would "talk" every now and then. It's located at West Valley Mall and you can enter from the outside (you don't have to go into the mall). Lots of parking. I'll definitely be back!

    First time here but not new to buffets. You pay first then the host brings you to a table. The seating area is decently spaced out between the buffet and drink area so you don't feel people hovering over you getting their food. It was 10 minutes after opening and the sushi wasn't ready yet so I started on the hot food first. There are some items that other buffets I have gone to don't have. They have bbq spare ribs and fried scallops. The ribs were sweet and little tender, I liked it. Fried scallops are imitation, had a slight scallop flavor. If you like imitation crabmeat you'll like this. It's different, I'm not mad at it but wouldn't get again now that I've had it unless it is real scallop served dinner time. There are hardly any traditional Chinese dishes. They cater more to the American pallette and kids have some options. I'll eat it but prefer to have some mixed into the menu. They don't have salt and pepper shrimp with the head and shell on but they do have fish. Hibachi Buffet and Grill in Fairfield has it too. I recommend that buffet. They have two dim sum option, shrimp har gow (dumpling) and potsticker/gyoza. I don't know if those are the only two available daily or it changes day to day. I would come back to find out for myself. The sushi selection isn't huge but it is satisfactory. The pieces are bite sized which is good so you can try everything and still save room for other items. The dessert/fruit/salad selection is cool. I have never seen whole cakes, two of them at that. I didn't have a sweet tooth so I didn't try it. And they have ice cream cups. I never go for the hibachi anywhere, if it is your thing, they have it. My takeaway of this place is, if you love Chinese buffets and are in the area, give them a shot. $16.99 for lunch including drinks is a deal in this economy. It is clean, staff are attentive and it is next to a mall and Winco across the street, you can walk off the meal and do some shopping. I'm from San Jose, about an hour away, I'd definitely come back.

    My family and I came by the last hour of the restaurant closing. They seated us quickly and were kind. Sadly, the only issue I had was the limited choices for food. There were still people coming in to dine after us and it didn't seem right for some of the stations to close. So we didn't have the choice to try that. Some of the food was good but a lot of it was not the best quality.

    I was told not to say anything if I have nothing good to say but this place is that bad. All the food was borderline inedible. Everything was oddly dry??? Things that are supposed to be crispy are soggy and everything that's not supposed to be crispy ended up being crispy??? Crab and cheese and the spinach and cheese were absolutely horrid. Wouldn't recommend it at all.

    Went to celebrate hubby's bday coming on Tuesday but turned out the bday freebie only starts the Monday of the bday week and they're pretty strict about it so we ended up paying for everyone. The price is pretty decent at $25.99 compared to Tomi Sushi dinner price of $41.99 on weekends. Love the hibachi grill but wish the beef is sliced much thinner. Make sure to add fried egg! They also have crab legs, sashimi and even frog legs! If you're craving for boiling crabs, just come here for the seafood boils. Even tho we didn't get the free bday meal, they still have their robot came to our table singing happy birthday while delivering a slice of cake with candle which is pretty amusing

    An OK place to go for if you're really hungry. Food is average. Nothing really stands out to merit a return trip.

We only…read morecame here because it was a Monday (their other location is closed on Mondays), and we happened to be in Stockton and I had a serious craving for those wings. It's located downtown next to the movie theater, if you're facing the theater, it's on the right-hand side. There was a sign on the door saying cash-only and no dine-in. I had cash and we were planning to take it to-go anyway, so that part didn't bother us. But oh my goodness... the staff needs improvement. Please address it ASAP. The vibe was not welcoming at all and felt very unprofessional. I could hear screaming and shouting coming from the kitchen from one of the younger girls, who honestly looked pretty mean. She was also taking orders. Thankfully, she wasn't the one who helped us, another girl took our order. Their POS was down and they said they accepted cash or Zelle, so we paid with Zelle. The girl told me, "Show it to me when you pay it," which I did. THANK GOODNESS I paid with Zelle. (I'll get to that). We ordered two salt & pepper wings and an order of garlic noodles to-go. The noodles came out first, so we sat down to wait for the wings. I noticed there were people dining in, so I guess the "no dine-in" sign wasn't accurate. When our wings were ready, we went up to grab them. The girl who took our order loudly asked in a rude tone, "DID YOU PAY?" It was embarrassing because everyone heard, and could've been handled so differently. I told her yes and pulled up the Zelle confirmation, the SAME one she had asked me earlier to show her. She clearly forgot and didn't make a note of it. Honestly, I can't imagine if I had paid cash. I wouldn't have had a receipt or any proof. So if you go here and their machines are down again... pay with Zelle. While we were there, I noticed a mother and daughter who had been waiting even before we arrived and still had no food. When we went up to get our wings, the daughter walked up to the counter very upset and said, "Give me back my money. We've been here for an hour and we were here before them." That pretty much confirmed everything about how chaotic things were. It felt like a total zoo in there. The system for handling orders and payments definitely needs work, especially with cash transactions. The tables were also dirty and could've used some attention. Additionally, the girl screaming in the kitchen shouldn't have happened. The wings? Still delicious. But the service and organization at this location really took away from the experience. The only parking available was at the garage across the street.

The same attention to detail reflected in the decor is also evident in the quality of the ingredients and the incredible flavors of each dish. Crystal glasses in a Thai restaurant? YES!

The rich broth, tender bone-in ribs, and flavorful noodles made every bite memorable. I couldn't even finish the entire dish because I wanted to savore it slowly. The Pad See Ew was a silky, heavenly treat. The rice noodles were succulent, the vegetables were fresh, and everything was coated in a rich, flavorful sauce.
