The buffet was fresh, and they were busy for lunch. I don't usually like buffets, but these persuade me that there is hope for buffets. The restaurant was pretty clean, it looks like it needs a remodel. The bathrooms were OK, and again they need to be remodeled. I was thankful for the quiet atmosphere, and they have the best egg rolls, and Great service.

I didn't see steam either from any of the table pans. I was the only person there at 6:45. Feel bad for them but they need to at minimum keep the buffet appetizing and food safe.

Why is this place rated so low?…read more Is it because it's located at the end of a strip mall? Is it because it's not in a swanky part of town? I was greeted immediately upon entering the place. Within 2 minutes, my drink order was taken, and I was headed to a buffet. There were plenty of options that were obviously freshly prepared. When I mention "plenty," I mean several long tables of steaming food just ready to be devoured. I really do like this place, so why not 5 stars? They didn't lose a star because of the place being expensive. I was surprised about the pricing considering the amount of food you will get. They lost the star because I didn't get the Hibachi experience. No Hibachi to be found. It doesn't matter, though, Hibachi or no Hibachi, I would eat here again.

The sushi is always fresh and not fishy, soft shell crab is never pungent and always fresh tasting! Bento boxes are a great deal, the noodles are really good from the side dish noodles to the udon! The drinks have always been cold and tasty especially the last one I got which was the Scorpion Bolw! It was huge and very tasty, even comes out on fire! The service is usually pretty good but sometimes the waitresses disappear for a while but everyone there is always willing to help. The building is definitely a bit older and we'll kept inside, tables are clean and covered with fresh paper between guests, the sushi bar is nice with no weird bar smells and the bathrooms have been decent.

Just something we wish we would've known before is that the portion sizes are smaller than the chain Japanese hibachi restaurants, including the size of the sushi rolls - which was nice for me because it's much easier to eat but I know it's not what most expect anymore.

I had to throw them away. Too expensive to just have to throw them away, but I just couldn't stomach it. They had a good flavor, but I couldn't take the grease. Also, their seafood dish that was shrimp and scallops -- the scallops they show are in photos are the pretty sea scallops, but the scallops in this dish were so small, I couldn't even find them at first. I didn't know where they were. It was really misleading and very pricey to only get little tiny bay scallops that were smaller than pearl onions. I won't go back there.

It's been a while since my previous review, unfortunately the food hasn't gotten any better. Pan…read moreafter pan of pitiful offerings, every chicken dish was dry and stringy. The obviously frozen shrimp were overcooked to the point of chewiness. What little bit of meat in the entrees, whether it was chicken, shrimp, or beef, was crowded out by the vegetables. Even the battered and fried chicken pieces for sweet and sour chicken were dried out, and the sauce was a strange thick mess with very little flavor. I hoped the egg rolls would be the saving grace, because how hard would it be to mess up egg rolls? It turns out that it was pretty effortless to make egg rolls that suck, the wrappers weren't crispy, but the cabbage was under-cooked so it still had a bit of a bite, and again, didn't really have sweet and sour sauce, so I had to load up on soy sauce for the egg rolls. The service was- meh. I got one refill and two table visits while I was there, even tho there was only one other table with diners. All-in-all I'm pretty disgusted with what I got, it wasn't worth half of what ended up being $15 after the tip. I don't splurge very often, and certainly wish I could rewind and make another choice, but at least going forward I know I won't be returning to Chen's!

The lady checking us in charged us for drinks that we did not want and then said she did not know how to refund our money. We finally got in touch with the manager who was off and they agreed to give us cash back. The lady that helped us walked over and sat it on the table, when we thanked her she walked off. The pizza was slow to come out and just plain poorly made. Not sure if they have lowered their standards but the pizza tastes like it. The salad bar was empty of salad and the dressings looked like someone mixed them all together, just gross Do yourself a favor. Order from somewhere else and sit in your car to eat, it would be better than this place. Big thumbs down for poor service and food.
