    Fried okra, Mac and cheese, fried cat fish, shrimp, and fabulous hush puppies

    This place is not expensive and the catfish is amazing! We drove out here especially to get the cat fish fry and it did not disappoint. Friendly service as well!

    Shrimp was good. Service was very good. They have a rustic ambiance which is appropriate for the area.

    I don't like catfish but I will eat there catfish. Everything is homemade and it's all you can eat for a great price.

    This place is so nostalgic. They've been opened for a long time so they are doing it right. My…read moreparents used to own a farm from 2003-2016 in Russellville and we used to eat here a lot. It's the best buffet in the city and probably one of the best I ever had in the United States. The dishes are so delicious and there is so much variety. We were back in town for my aunt's funeral and had lunch there on our way out. There are so many ways they cooked up the chicken: teriyaki, breaded, stir fried, skewered, etc. They also had frog legs, sushi, a lot of fresh fruits and so much more. The service is impeccable and our server Lorena went above and beyond! She even asked to take a picture for us and had to kneel all the way down to capture everyone. We were a party of 8 and got a special room close to the bathroom. After we got our drink orders in, we went to the buffet and ate until our bellies burst. I had 2 plates plus a wonton soup. I also made a variety sushi and a fried appetizer for us to share in the middle. My favorite dishes were the mushrooms and the fish! Everything was hot, delicious and replenished quickly. If there was a mess, they wiped it clean right away. The place was very clean. The bathrooms were also very clean! The restaurant was very busy by the time we left! It's a popular spot! We will be back anytime we are in Russellville again! Thank you for being one of the best!

    I really want to like this place really bad. But it's not good. There are a lack of Chinese…read morerestaurants around here. I have tried food here multiple times and have finally made the decision that I probably won't go back.

It felt like they were judging us. ESPECIALLY when they spoke Chinese. When They kept following us around making us feeling uncomfortable and unsettling. When my son had pushed me around the buffet one wowan who i think was the owner, was standing close to where I was. She looking at me until I asked her if there was as problem raised my hands up shaking shaking my head a little bit as if asking her to ask her are we going to have a problem and looking her straightin her eyes . She shook her head really fast several times waving her her hands fast as well at shoulder level and said oh no. Then she walked away. It was $62 foe 3 people which is fair for there dinner service. When my son paid, not knowing my nephew had requested on requested one (which I will show the pics below this review)had asked for a to go container not know they he said he thought We went there to eat dinner to not feel UNWANTED. They need to apologize for that because we're not the only ones that have felt that. There was 1 review I saw about how the staff was treated disabled children. That is just not freaking acceptable. I understand now why the reviews by had 3.9 stars12+k only

I had been without Thai food for almost 2 years as I guess its not a thing here in Arkansas. My brother felt bad I was sick and wanted to get me my favorite soup as he was driving by the only Thai place we have seen since we moved here. All I wanted was some Tom Kha!!! They didnt know what that was its on their online menu!! When I called to confirm cuz I didnt think that was possible the lady said she had no coconut milk on premises!!! WTF? I asked how do you make your curry sauce then? She mumbled and I gave up! I definitely dont want to try any curry they have... assuming if its actual curry its just a bag of goop they ordered somewhere if they dont know the actual ingredients! Also any tom yum or tom kha has mushrooms and none to see here!
