Before Covid, this restaurant provided good size portions at a good price. During Covid, they cut…read morethe quantity in half and charged 30% more. I asked why they put the food in containers that were half the size, the owner said they couldn't get the larger boxes at the time. However, they never went back and continued to use the same boxes that only hold half the quantity). While the food is good, it costs a lot more for the quantity we need for a whole family to eat. Very disappointed. Not a lot of options for Chinese food in Hollister but we certainly don't order take out like we used to. Very rarely now. Take out from this place costs more than a nice dinner at Tres Pinos Inn!

And the worst part was THEY RUN OUT OF RICE!!!! Been in the US for over 40 years and this was the first time a Chinese restaurant had NO RICE. How can u eat Chinese food without rice??? So I'm telling all my friends not to go to this restaurant.

Host said because they are short staffed they made those changed. I like that drinks are included like some buffets around the Bay Area. The sushi selection has been cut down. I skipped the sushi this visit to save room for the bbq spareribs and salt and pepper shrimp. Those are my favorite from the lunch buffet. Please tip them extra if you can.

Final Thoughts: 2.50/5…read more My parents heard about this place and they wanted to try it. Definitely been a long time since we went to a buffet. This family really does not consume a lot of food, so sometimes going to a buffet really isn't the most idea when you're trying to get your moneys worth with quality and quantity. Location for here is somewhat farther than other places that we usually go to. We did finally get the opportunity for all of us to go, so it happened. Will round to be 3 star for today. Food: 1. Sushi bar (Simple sushi rolls with imitation crab, salmon, avocado, seaweed salad, ?tofu skin) Their selections of sushi are quite limited. Honestly, it felt like the same type of roll with just one item differing. Not even really sure if these are actual types of sushi rolls like at other restaurants. They did look slightly haphazardly put together, but overall rolls are fine and nicely plated on the larger plate to get. Heft fillings for most of them, which I appreciate. 2. Seafood Options (stir fried shrimp, braised mushrooms, mussels with cheese, clams) Most of these items felt like they were frozen and then reheated verses fresh. The assembly of these dishes seem simple enough, so they continuously refilled these. Some were steamed perhaps like the clams, others were baked maybe like the muscles. The texture is a lot more "rubbery" and difficult to remove the meat from the shell. Flavor was just alright for most of these options. 3. Classic food choices (fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, eggrolls, broccoli beef, French fries, pizza, ribs) These are items are nostalgic for me if anything. Also feels like something I can cook from a bag or even get at Panda Express. Honey walnut shrimp was alright. It felt super rich and oily with the amount of mayonnaise. Not necessarily a complaint because I really like that dish, but I could only have a few of them. Orange chicken was also quite good and nostalgic for me. 4. Desserts (?Mousse cake, cream puffs, coconut macaron, soft serve, palmiers cookies) Honestly, I love desserts and sweets, but there was something about these items that weren't enticing at the time. Maybe because I was really full already from the other foods. The cake felt a little bit dry. Seems like something we can get in bulk somewhere and not necessarily freshly made. Soft serve was almost like this sweet water with just a bit of milk in it, which was interesting. 5. Fruits (Cantaloupe, canned lychee, oranges, pineapple) Very small selection of fruits here. Not too big of a fan of canned fruits, but it was something that they had. The cantaloupe was the only fruit that I could really "enjoy" because it was fresh and better looking than the other options. My parents liked the oranges, as well. Some nice vitamin C for them after the big meal. Labeling: Nothing Labeled None of their items are labeled, so just be sure y'all are careful of food allergies or intolerances. --------- Quality: As expected for the price Their quality is ok??? Ish??? It's what I expected for the price. A lot of the foods appear frozen and then reheated or cooked. Sushi was rolled on the spot and refilled. Some foods felt like they were just sitting there under a warmer. For the seafood, definitely felt like from the freezer and not fresh. You can see this in the clams because they were really stuck onto their shell and absolutely would not come out cleanly. Texture is a little more chewy. Price: Affordable for the Buffet If you want affordable and all you can eat, this is the place to go. One of the reasons why my parents want to go here is because of the price. This place is in Gilroy, so a little farther away from where we are, but we still wanted to try it. Prices are fully on the rise. For an adult, it will be $18.99 now. There are discounted pries for kiddos between 2 and 11 years of age. Senior citizens of age 65 and older will also get a $1 off discount. Very sweet and totally works for us. Service: Fast Not sure how crowded this place gets, but we were seated immediately after coming in. I didn't see how busy it was outside, but most, if not all of the seats were filled at one point. They took our drink order and then we were free to go get food afterwards. There's always a trash plate and they took those away pretty quicky. Ambiance: Dim lit Interior was quite dark and dim lit. The area where the foods were was really warm and this might be nicer on a cold winter day versus summer. The space actually looks quite small for something of a buffet style. Perhaps there aren't too many options, but it/s definitely a nice small buffet to go to for a change of taste once in a blue moon. Location/Parking: Spacious area This area is very spacious and located where the South Valley Plaza Shopping Center is. It is within kind of the side corner of this plaza. Highly unlikely there will be a concern with parking because of how large the area is.

I got broccoli beef, spicy chicken, teriyaki chicken, and chow mein, and somehow NONE of it had flavor. I'm honestly impressed at how four different items can all taste like absolutely nothing. The chow mein was so dry it felt like chewing noodles that had been sitting out since yesterday. Then I tried my boyfriend's orange chicken, and the chicken was SO hard I thought I was chewing on a rock. I'm not exaggerating when I say my jaw actually started hurting from trying to chew it. At that point I gave up. I didn't even want to finish the plate. I literally ended up going to McDonald's next door because I was still hungry. When McDonald's is the better option, you know something went wrong. Super disappointing because the food looks good in the trays, but the taste is a completely different story.

I loved everything we ordered!

We shared family style and everyone was happy. I wish I had done my review then. Just so, so, good. So yeah I definitely wanted to go back. Today it was just going to be only myself and my toddler. I was looking forward to some 1x1 time with my little guy out since he is such a good eater of just about everything. Because I knew I would be sharing my food with him I picked the orange chicken dish knowing it wasn't spicy at all and easy for him to eat. And the cucumber salad because I enjoyed it so much last go round. And this is where I was greatly disappointed. When it came I wasn't entirely sure it was the right dish. It definitely looked different than what I remembered. I tried it and it tasted sooo bland. The more I tried it I realized I was just eating Tysons popcorn chicken with orange sauce. All the chicken pieces were pretty uniform in size and texture. The breading was thick and also peppered. There was no way around it, I just knew. You seen that Cutthroat Kitchen episode where a contestant describes their dish as a breaded chicken picatta...and the Judge Jett Tila just responds with, this is chicken nuggets. When you know, you just know. The breading could not compare. Freshly fried fresh chicken versus frozen chicken nuggets in sauce. There's a major difference you can't miss in taste and texture between those two. I asked a gentleman working there if what I ordered was the same item on the menu and pointed to orange chicken with also a very different picture. He smiled back and said they "improved their chicken". Ain't no way. I think the pics speak for themselves. With that said, the cucumber salad was just as I remembered it and throughly enjoyed it. Please ditch the frozen popcorn chicken. I can't believe I was charged and I paid $17 for that dish .
