    Was a great buffet. We was unsure walking in but after the first few bites knew we had found a great spot.

    Buffet Palace - Sushi plate... VERY limited selection of sushi... I have seen more options of pre-made sushi at a grocery store.

    This is my first visit to this place. We arrived around 11:30-12pm. We were greeted and taken to…read moreour table. With it being a buffet everything is self serve even your condiments. They were in packets. Our server was friendly. She delivered our drinks, pickup our plates, and check on us if we needed anything. If we did, she directed us where to get it. The place seemed clean. As far as the food, my husband or myself were not impressed. The food was lukewarm and everything the overcooked. Tried the sushi, it was lacking with any flavor. The banana pudding that didn't have any bananas in it was probably one of the better tasting things. It's was $20 each. I was surprised to see no Asian workers. Perhaps they were only the cooks. I really never like leaving negative comments but hoping the owner will see this and improve on the food.

    I am a regular customer, and this is my daughter's favorite restaurant, but the service and…read moremanagement are awful. The waitresses make my guests and me feel extremely uncomfortable. They interrupt our conversations every 3 minutes, bring the check without being asked, and clear plates while we are still eating. Even my guests have commented on how uncomfortable and rushed they feel when I invite them here. Today, Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 12:54 PM, I called the restaurant directly at 601-649-3366 to speak with the manager on duty to give a polite and constructive suggestion. Instead of listening, the manager got upset, claimed she didn't understand anything, and hung up on me. It is clear that the bad service starts with management. They don't respect their customers. We are never coming back.

    Locals know this place is great. If you're traveling to Hattiesburg for any reason, like a…read moregraduation or baseball game or football game. This is the review for you. There are absolutely no shortages of places to eat in Hattiesburg. Some visiting might lean towards safe places with menu items they feel secure and safe with, and there's nothing wrong with that. But, if that's you you're missing out on some amazing food. Today I took my wife for mother's day as they had some special items on their menu, while also keeping their regular menu available. We started with their standard dumpling appetizer. We get it everytime we eat there and they're delicious every time. The meals we picked were the the kimchi cabanara and the shrimp and grits. Both on their special mother's day menu. Both were absolutely delicious with fresh ingrediants, balanced seasonings and amazing flavors. I'm Italian and grew up eating traditional family Sunday dinners but this bowl of pasta was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere of the place is very modern with a combination of traditional asian features mixed with some modern MTV inspired artwork. If you're into craft cocktails they got you covered as well. The only miss we had to day was our server never came back to take our dessert order, when we asked to order it he confused what we said for the bill and brought that instead. Not a deal breaker, we were actually too full for it anyway and we've had their desserts before. They always inventive and delicious. At the end of the day, one small service hiccup wasn't enough to overshadow what was an outstanding meal and experience. In a city packed with chain restaurants and predictable menus, places like this are what make Hattiesburg's food scene worth exploring. If you're willing to step outside your comfort zone a little, you'll be rewarded with creative dishes, quality ingredients, and flavors you'll still be thinking about on the drive home. We'll absolutely be back.

    We needed lunch while on a road trip and Yelp came through for us once again!…read more This spot has a great vibe and cool decor. The staff were warm and helpful. Cocktails were creative and beautifully presented. The food was great - eclectic Asian would be my descriptor. We had the pickled veggies which included kim chi, black garlic, poblanos, pickles, and collards. The assortment was very nice. The pork and shrimp dumplings were a bit firmer than I'm used to, but not in a bad way, and the flavors were excellent. The pot roast egg rolls were a fun mashup. The okra was delicious - perfectly cooked and great balance of flavors. The pork belly buns were my favorite item. Lots of tender, crispy pork on a cloud soft bun. Yum! I will definitely return if in the area.
