Very delicious buffet, food is almost always fresh and delicious. The only thing that would be better is if the pot stickers were always out and if the crab legs came back. Otherwise it is perfection ❤️
Best restaurant in town in my opinion. Buffet is a great value. Many choices, all very flavorful, with healthful options (salads and fruits) too. Drinks and desserts are included. I always over-eat but enjoy every bite and do not waste anything. Don't forget to tip the wait staff who do drinks, set-ups, and clean-ups -- they are great. Very low price for what you get at the buffet. There is even a small senior discount. Very highly recommended.
Great tasting food affordable prices for a family highly recommend try it out sometime love the dumplings
Economically priced and has lot of options in buffet.
Great place for lunch..go when they are busy and the food is hot and fresh..their Green Beans are addictive !
Food is delicious, especially the black pepper chicken. Service is fantastic and very attentive. I recommend eating in, if you are able, but the boxes for togo are self filled and paid by weight. Usually, I end up eating at the supper buffet, but I ate during lunch buffet and it was still delicious and had a bit of variety with the dishes being offered. I found the bacon potatoes to have a bit more bacon and flavor on them at this lunchtime meal.
Excellent buffet for. Breaded sweet shrimp of some kind was awesome. The crab and shrimp with broccoli was also fantastic. Lots of options in American food and Chinese. Ice cream machine was a hit with the kids. Groups of 9 or more are charged 10% gratuity but they were kind enough to let us split our group in two so we didnt have to pay it. Very good service. Could be easily confused with another Chinese restaurant like two doors down. There is not really a name on the sign that i saw so if you are meeting someone be sure to clarify which Chinese restarant on Main St.
Food is amazing and the prices for take out are reasonable. I love this place so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻
