This is hands down the best buffet I've ever been to. They have such a wide variety of food. Snow crab, fried blue crab, steamed blue crab, Dungeness crab, lobster, crawfish and shrimp cooked a few different ways, oysters, razor clams all kinds of other seafood. Plus they have the normal Asian food that you expect from a buffet like this. There sushi bar in his hands down the Best. Live such a wide and fresh variety of well-made sushi. They even have sashimi, multiple different fish and almost anything else you can think of lol. And then there's the ramen bar. They have a wide selection of stuff to add to your Ramen bowl. They have six different soups . They bring it out in a bowl with a flame keeping it boiling hot. There's so much more that I'm forgetting. They have the ice cream cups and different flavors. They have different types of teas, I'm not sure what exactly they're made of but they almost look like a watery smoothie if that makes sense. What are the mango one and it was good. I'm definitely coming back. I wish that I lived here but it's probably a good thing I don't because I would be 600 lb LOL. All that and more for only $35 for adults, it's cheaper for kids. Definite

Best thing I had was the cucumber salad. I’ve been here before and it was great. This time it fell way short of even good. The salmon was so dry, the crab legs in the warm section were cold, actually most of the “warm” food was cold. Think it was just an off night. Staff was very friendly . My waitress was very nice. Hopefully they fix the food.

We enjoyed the buffet on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was not too busy which made it easy to see the wide variety of food available. So many delicious choices to choose and we taste tested so many amazing foods. The Saturday brunch included the dinner items so it was a little more for lunch but we'll worth it and 2 in our party did receive military & senior discounts. This was my first visit but it is my son & DIL's favorite go to. We were seated immediately, the flavors were authentic and the service was amazing. Parking was a little hectic with dead end aisles in the shopping center parking lot resulting in parking further away but we needed the extra steps on the way out. Cant wait to come back.

Decent food with good service but an atmosphere comparable to a day care with incompetent staff and parents that should be childless. The table that I was sat at had the pepper shaker overturned and the lid unscrewed from the salt shaker. While the selection and food was decent, the state of the restaurant was ill kept. The first sauce bottle that I touched sent me straight to the restroom to was the contents off of my hands. It was filthy. They ran out of oysters and the snow crab legs were soggy and difficult to peel. The customer's children were running wild and shrieking in high pitched voices that gave me a migraine before I could eat and get out of the door. The people who rave about this place are not top 10% restaurant reviewers like I am so they are not shooting you straight. The price for just me with a 20% tip was almost $50 and was no where NEAR worth that amount of money. I slipped on the wet floor in the restroom where the towel dispenser did not work and there was a pump spray bottle of something sitting between the sinks. One of the soap dispensers was out also so I had to use the one in the handicap stall. This was my first and last visit to this restaurant.

A Wonderful Visit for My Mother’s Birthday I visited this past Sunday to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and it was a truly special experience. It had been three years since my last visit because of the long distance, but this trip was absolutely worth it. The buffet stood out from others I’ve tried—it offered a wide and impressive variety of dishes, not just traditional Chinese food but also sushi, hibachi, and hotpot. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, making it feel more like a food experience than just a meal. We arrived around 5:45 PM for dinner, and it was quite crowded, which shows how popular the place is. Despite the crowd, the service was still good and the food stations were well-stocked. What made this place even more enjoyable were the little extras—like fruit tea and boba tea—which were a nice treat, especially for someone like me who enjoys something sweet to finish a meal. Overall, it was a happy and memorable visit. A perfect way to celebrate my mother’s birthday. I’ll definitely come back again in the future.
