I definitely recommend eating the hibachi, build your plate and they cook it, it was the best part in my opinion.

My husbands never been to a "all you can eat crab legs" restaurant, so we had to come on over and…read moregrab a bite. This location is pretty big, it definitely feels like I've been transported to the 2000s with the color scheme. Everyone was hustling and bustling to make sure everyone had what they needed. Our server was wonderful and took good care of us. The food was good! The salad options were wonderful, the corn was okay, the Mac and cheese wasn't all that, the popcorn/coconut shrimp were great. They had good dessert options like brownies, banana pudding, soft serve. The crab legs were good! Between me and my husband, we put down about 10 clusters. (this is a place that you have to come hungry to get your moneys worth) I can totally see how the restaurant makes money from the people that barely eat the crab legs. If you were coming for buffet only $40 as a scam. But if you're coming for crab like buffet and you come hungry, you might get your moneys worth. Please keep in mind that soft drinks are not included into your buffet!!! I definitely felt like a medieval animal, tearing them apart, but thankfully, our server gave us some wet wipes. The flavor was good, they literally taste like crab legs. Overall, it was a good experience. It felt clean and everyone was very attentive. I think this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to come, but we might not come again cause we wanna try another place.

Tony is the best waiter I've ever had he needs a pay raise and should be promoted the nicest way…read moreI've ever had

I don't do Chinese take-out food that frequently, but when I do, I want my craving to be satisfied…read more Unfortunately, tonight was not the night. I've been craving Chinese for a while, but it took a "Kentucky minute" for the timing to be right. So tonight we were really looking forward to some good Chinese takeout. My husband and I ordered a pu pu platter, he got beef and vegetables with added spicy and for some reason, they were not making my go to tonight, which is Egg Foo Young, so I settled for Moo Shu pork, an alternative go to. Disappointment all around. The fried elements of the pu pu platter were way overcooked, from the egg roll to the "crab" sticks to the chicken "fingers". mushy, mushy and more mushy. The best item on the platter was the chicken on a stick, which wasn't all bad. My moo shu pork was flavorless and overcooked, with not a bit of texture left in the vegetables. My husband's beef and vegetables that were supposed to have spice added were bland even to me and I am very sensitive to spicy food. But I will say at least his vegetables were not overcooked. Oh, and we also ordered two bags of fried crispy noodles... Which were stale and had the texture of cardboard. To add insult to injury, we didn't even get fortune cookies. I know there's not a lot of competition in this town, but that's no excuse not to "Do Better". After spending almost $50 with a tip, to be honest, we feel like we were rode hard and put away wet. Worst of all, I'm still craving Chinese cuisine, but I'm afraid to try the local competition again at this point. I can only take so much disappointment. It will probably be another "Kentucky minute" before we travel the Great Wall again at least locally. Whatever happened to the nice hometown sit down Chinese restaurants where they served your delicious entrée in a pedestal cloche, the egg rolls were divine and it felt like a culinary experience at a reasonable price? Sorry, no pics of the food...we just dig in. And sorry I digressed and waxed nostalgic, but some of you will relate.

I am very disappointed this time around. I had gotten their egg drop soup a couple of times before,…read morebut this time around it had a sour taste and off putting smell. Not sure if they are keeping old soup and not storing it correctly when reheating, but I could not stomach one more bite. I swear I better not get food poisoning ugh... Def not eating/ drinking the egg drop soup again. It felt like I was drinking urine and I don't even know what that taste like. But if I had to imagine what it did, it would be this.
