This included egg roll, soup, entree and rice. I had the hot and sour soup to start. It was full of ingredients, and was indeed hot and slightly sour. It would have been nice to have some crispy win ton strips to add, but I very much liked the soup. They bring sweet and sour sauce out with your plate for the egg roll. The egg roll was flavorful, but not as crispy as I would like. I opted for steamed rice and had the orange chicken. The chicken was saucy but nice size chunks. Good bits of orange peel in the dish. Not overly spicy. It was a good portion for the lunch menu. I would eat here again for sure.

There is a constant billow of steam coming from the heated serving islands and the heat lamps keep everything looking and smelling fresh. My wife and I enjoy this buffet just about every time we are in town. The two reasons I did not give them 5 stars are the horrible tasting fountain drinks and the level of noise that the bussing staff makes. Order water. The Pepsi and Sierra Mist taste nothing like the real thing. In fact, the fountain drinks taste like cleaning chemicals. It's really bad. Take my word for it. The bussing staff seams to make noise in purpose - throwing dirty dishes into kitchen carts and slamming freeze doors constantly. It's really annoying! Enjoy!

Always making sure you had or needed anything else. Now the food is horrible from texture to flavor, the drink drinks always seem to be flat and overpriced for the Buffet. Sorry, but I will not be coming here in a long while. Don't get me wrong. The environment is always great and the place is always clean.

Not much of a dine-in type of place.

This can be a problem though if you're pressed for time especially if you get stuck behind another car. The only way this place is "Express" is if you call in your order ahead of time to pick up. As for the food...I usually stick to a few dishes here & so far I have really enjoyed them, especially their sauces. I love onion but, they tend to overdo it (which I never thought I'd say). The soups & egg rolls are a little bland but nothing some hot sauce can't fix. Which by the way their hot oil is actually spicy unlike other places which I love! Overall they have flavorful, decent portions at a good price & definitely beat Panda Express down the road!

They…read morehave a huge lighted menu behind the counter, but that only offers their mainly "Americanized" food. If you want to see the complete menu, you need to walk up to the wall next to the register. The Mushroom Chicken is crazy good, and must be experienced by everyone. They also offer GnuChow Fun, and it's second to HopTung. This is as good as it's gonna get in South McAllen... *Be sure to order off of the menu on the wall, and go for the "family" order it's only a few bucks more but so much more food.

The food is delicious, nice and hot, and seasoned just right also soft and tender. Staff is always a 5 star they're always patient, kind and they don't try to sell you other items.

You can eat anything on the menu and they make it fresh to order. You can even sit up near the chef's and watch if you want too. My kids love to go an sit and watch them make our food. And they are teenagers so they can REALLY eat. Yes, its all you can eat and they really put this to the test. lol Last time I went, my son got the all you can eat lunch, it was $15.
