So this place has been around forever. I've frequented the actual buffet, which is typically pretty…read moredecent for American Chinese fair, especially since it's the only Chinese buffet option outside of Olean or Buffalo. But after trying a takeout order for the 3rd time, I cannot recommend doing take away from here. SERVERS: The service is swift, it's happy, very friendly actually for typical brisk Asian style service. They handle the buffet efficiently and are always asking if you're doing well. The lady who took my to-go order over the phone was kind, she even called me back to say they were out of something I ordered and offered a substitute. TO-GO ORDER: This is where it all went downhill. I know sometimes if you make to-go orders, they pull stuff directly off the buffet instead of making something new. Which is whatever, honestly, I'd have preferred what was on the line to what I received. a) Black Pepper Chicken: On the line it's crunchy, crispy and caramelized chicken and onions with a hint of black pepper. What I got in my container was bits of soggy chicken literally floating in non-thickened sweet sauce. So much in fact that it leaked out of the containers edges all over the bottom of the bag. Luckily it was double bagged so it didn't get on my seats. b) Buttered Sea Food: On the line it's fake crab and baby shrimp sautéed with garlic, butter and parsley and a little something extra (I think sesame oil myself) and it's awesome over rice. I ordered a small container of this without the shrimp, because sometimes the shrimp aren't clean and I prefer to skip that. It was okay but there wasn't a lot of the butter sauce, so everything on top was very dried out. I only live 10 minutes away, so it shouldn't be like that after such a short time. c) They were out of the smoky, garlicky green beans and offered to sauté some broccoli in the same style. This also came floating in pool of slightly seasoned water. Like it was blanched and tossed in the container without draining before they dumped sauce on, instead of actually sautéing it. I'd have just rather passed on it. d) The egg drop soup came off the buffet line, so it was fine. It's not the best I've had but it's not the worst either. I'd call it passable and it was the most edible thing from the order, after I added some garlic chili paste. Now this is the only the latest to-go order mistakes. The first two times saw issues as well, like missing food, incorrectly made food and food that is usually dryer instead begging for a lifeline from an ocean of sauce. Honestly, for $30 for takeout, I expect better quality and consistency. If you can make it nice and tasty for the buffet line, you should be able to do the same for the take-out option. It's going to be a while before I add this place back into my rotation.

The person who picked up the phone was very nice and very accommodating. We got Mongolian beef, general tso chicken, cheese wonton, fried wonton, chicken teriyaki, yong cho fried rice, shrimp with lobster sauce, salf and pepper fish. Almost all of them were really good except the fried rice. The fried rice could use little more spices. While waiting, the owner came up and he was one of the most pleasant ownera I've ever met. He greated us, and offerred us drink while we were waiting and made sure we were taken care of. If I live in the area, this definitely would have been my regular place to get Chinese foods. Definitely will come back again if we happen to be in the area.

This is served only on Friday and Saturday evenings, and the cost of the buffet increases from $29 to $34. The waitresses were very attentive without hovering, clearing away plates to leave room for the next visit to the buffet, and very gently explaining to a man at the next table that his extra slices of prime rib couldn't be wrapped to go. The patrons are the expected mix of gamblers who don't wish to leave for a meal, Ellicottville skiers, Seneca Nation members, and seniors for whom winter sidewalks are too hazardous to negotiate for company.

After I was seated, I wondered why they were…read morecramming everyone into one small area, which was further complicated by three ambulatory vehicles left next to tables in the narrow aisle. The shrimp is gone. The first full section of the buffet was BREAD. The last full section of the buffet is CONDIMENTS. They have spread out food displays to make them look fuller, but they are not. Take note because there is also a small taco bar, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, meatballs and four items in the Asian bar. This is the first time I have gone here and only had one small plate of food. The cafe' is closed for renovation now as well. This buffet is not worth the expense. Honestly, it was depressing. I gave two stars because the staff was so darned nice.

At first glance, I was a little hesitant about the building itself. It's very old, with no real signage, just "Chinese Buffet." The sushi was... okay. If you're looking for something more authentic, I'd recommend ordering a roll instead and telling them you want something authentic. Hopefully they will be as accommodating as they appear. What's out on the buffet seems geared more toward people who might not recognize good sushi if it slapped them in the face (lol). The Chinese food was decent and, surprisingly, not overly oily. I was honestly impressed, since lower-end Chinese buffets often have food swimming in oil, and this place didn't. I think a good makeover could really do this place justice. It's alright, not horrible. It could be a fun place for younger kids who want to try something new, but do not bring someone here on a date. Seriously. Don't do it. They also took our silverware half way through, they did not offer any knives to cut food with. I wanted to throw away napkins cause I had my child with me and not a trash can in sight!
