    We used to come here a lot more often many moons ago. Had a nice warm feeling being back again. The lady manager was as friendly as before and the decor was the same. Price seemed to be higher compared to other buffets of similar type. Ample parking lot onsite. Very spacious buffet restaurant with various cuisines to choose from. There was also a hibachi station. I was surprised to see papaya as I loved them! They aren't cheap so it was nice to see it by the fruit section. Lots of fried stuff too if you are into it. Taste wise food was a bit bland. Service was very attentive and the servers were very friendly. Comfortable seatings throughout. There also seemed to be some birthday parties every time I was there.

    My family and I visited this place last week 12/6. We wanted to take the kids out to celebrate some school accomplishments etc. We arrived, place was empty. I approached the counter where were proceeded to tell the lady how many, I also went to show her my Senior Discount information, AARP or ID whichever was needed. She immediately says oh NO, we dont take that! I stated yes you must as it is on your site and I feel like you should honor it. She refused and we proceeded to pay as we were hungry. We were seated and it went downhill from there. Basically the food is sub par, mediocre. There was no Sweet and Sour chicken...Crab legs were mushy, the selection just was not making me excited. The food didn't seem to he that hot or fresh! Like it had been sitting out all day. I stayed with rice and chicken. I tried the steak, it was OK but no steak sauce to bring the steak experience all the way thru. It was like having Kool Aid with no sugar or ham with no burger, just lacking in many ways for the money we paid. I didn't feel like the Asian lady was so super nice and accommodating, our server was good and we tipped her nice but the overall experience.... leaving me NEVER to go there to spend my money again and they don't honor what is clearly stated on the website. Horrible!

    The food wasn't fresh me and my boyfriend went over the weekend and end up having food poisoning I didn't get it as bad as he did. But it was the worse. And they don't restore the dishes mainly the snow crab legs. I try getting a plate every time one of the staff's gave the whole tray to the table next to us at least 3 times. Thw seafood wasn't fresh. But the best dish I had was the Arabic seafood fried rice.

    Went for Weekday Lunch Special Food - 1/5. Even as buffet foods go, the food here tastes awful. The spicy tuna actually made me spit out the food as it had this really unpleasant, pungent odor that reminded me of bad fish. The dumpling was about 80% dough. All the chicken items were very rubbery and the seasoning was weak. Lo mein was stuck together while being starchy and bland. The churrasco steak was probably the only decent item, if you could ever grab yourself any as the tray was always empty and never refilled. I appreciate the theme of trying to go international with your food choices but it feels as if they lost focus and all of the food turned out below average. Service - 4/5. They take payment and tip before you sit down which was a bit of an odd practice. Despite that, the service staff were very nice and quick with their service. Value - 1/5. The prices are average compared to other buffets of the same type except none of the food here is enjoyable. The hibachi station is also not open during lunch time while most local competitors do offer hibachi for their lunch. There just isn't much they offer that would make me choose to dine here when compared to other restaurants. Not recommended. Parking - Private Lot (Free)

    Good average food

    Average small Chinese American buffet. Food was good and hot but nothing special Good place to pig out on the cheap

    If you enjoy flys in your food come on by ! Mold in the bathroom is a plus . They said they are addressing the fly situation with a flyswatter which I found in the bathroom. Ate 1 plate of food when I notice the issue went to the bathroom threw up and washed my hands on the moldy sink . Asked for a refund and they said they couldn't because I had a 5 pieces of sushi . $40 for two ppl to eat and get food poisoning so you just can't go wrong .

I came here to throw down on some seafood and that's exactly what we did. I found out about this place because one of my favorite TikTok foodies posted that she came here when she was visiting from Chicago. It was also my friend's birthday so we figured we'd check it out. If you come with a group of 4 or more, including the birthday person, they eat for free, which is a pretty nice perk. This place lived up to every bit of the hype. We did the $125 option which includes lobster. If you have people in your group who are on the fence about spending the extra money, just remind them it's only about $35 more and that's basically the cost of one lobster anywhere else. Here you're getting unlimited lobster. The food literally just kept coming. At one point we were running out of room on the table. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed and started putting multiple items on the same plates instead of bringing everything out separately. It sounds small but it actually helped a lot and showed they were paying attention. The drinks weren't super strong but they definitely weren't weak either. If you love seafood, come hungry and bring a group. The vibes were great, the service was on point, and we left absolutely stuffed.

It's honestly a seafood lover's dream. I highly recommend coming with a large group so you can try a bit of everything. They also offer an option to pay an extra $45 to take your leftovers home, which is absolutely worth it. I ended up with so much food that my fridge is still full. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others.

If you're craving authentic Peruvian cuisine with a strong Chinese (Chifa) influence, this is a spot you won't want to miss. The dining room has a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, with soft music in the background that makes it perfect for everything from a casual dinner to a night out with friends. One thing to know before you go: this place is popular, especially during peak lunch and dinner hours. You may have to wait for a table, but don't let that discourage you. The food, generous portions, friendly service, and overall experience make it well worth it. After one visit, you'll understand why locals keep coming back. We kicked things off with a couple of appetizers that set the tone for the entire meal. Yuccas Arequipeña (not pictured) featured perfectly fried cassava topped with red onions and a rich, creamy huancaína sauce made with queso fresco, garlic, red onion, and aji amarillo. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. The Choros a la Chalaca were just as impressive. Fresh mussels topped with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Bright, refreshing, and bursting with fresh flavor--I could have easily ordered another plate. For our entrées, every dish arrived piping hot, beautifully presented, and generously portioned. The Lomo Saltado was everything you hope for in this classic Peruvian favorite. Tender slices of steak stir-fried with onions and tomatoes, served with crispy fries and fluffy white rice. A true comfort food classic. The Seco de Res was outstanding. The beef was fork-tender, slowly braised in a rich cilantro sauce with carrots and potatoes, then served with rice that was perfect for soaking up every bit of that incredible sauce. The Broiled Pork Chops were juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, paired with delicious fried rice and a fresh salad. We also ordered the Mixed Ceviche, loaded with fresh fish, squid, and octopus cured in lime juice with onions. It was bright, citrusy, incredibly fresh, and the perfect contrast to the heartier entrées. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly quickly, even with the restaurant being busy. A huge shout-out to Carlos, who made an already great meal even better. He was attentive without hovering, knew the menu inside and out, answered every question, and made excellent recommendations. Service like his is one of the reasons this restaurant continues to earn such a loyal following. If you visit, definitely ask for Carlos. From the warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere to the outstanding food, generous portions, and excellent value, Flor De Mayo delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. It's easy to see why this Upper West Side gem has been a neighborhood favorite for years. If you're anywhere near Amsterdam Avenue and looking for incredible Peruvian-Chinese cuisine, Flor De Mayo should be at the top of your list. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, it's absolutely worth the wait--and I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

At first glance, it looked pretty good and I had expected it to almost have a cajun broil like flavor profile but I felt like the soup lacked a bit of flavor and was a bit watered down - 1/2 Chicken, A La Carte - Becuase I wasn't sure if I was going to get my protein fix from the soup itself, I ordered their rotisserie chicken and I thought it was okay. Although the skin of the chicken had a lot of flavor, the chicken itself didn't really retain that flavor and was a bit dry. Overall, I think the food is interesting to try once but I'm not sure I would come back again.

The Noodles were perfectly cooked and the minced pork was bursting with flavor. Fries were satisfyingly crispy, well seasoned, but had a kick to it, so tasted too spicy for me. Chili dumplings were filled with yummy meat, and were surprisingly not that spicy. Scallion pancakes were thin, with a nice crunch, and plenty of scallion taste. Veggie dumplings were just okay, as I found the outer wrapping to be too thick and filling to be a little bland. For the main courses, we were served pork with celery and peppers, chicken with onion and peppers, veggie noodles, and spicy tofu. The pork dish was my favorite, as the meat was tender, and full of wonderful savory flavor, while the veggies were fresh and cooked well. Service was good. The food came out quickly throughout the night and we enjoyed a lovely evening here.
