A very disappointing return—it’s been a long time since we last visited this buffet restaurant!
Today, my spouse, our young daughter, and I finally had a chance to dine there. To our surprise, there were only two other customers in the entire restaurant, making a total of five people including us—perhaps because it was a Tuesday.
The worst part was the food. I walked around the buffet again and again and honestly couldn’t find anything to eat. It felt awkward to ask for a refund and say we weren’t eating because there was simply no food—but that was truly the case.
We arrived around 7:10 PM (the restaurant closes at 9:00 PM). The beef was so dry it felt like chewing on wood. The fish tray had only a few leftover scraps and was never refilled. The seafood (crawfish, shrimp, mussels) was overly salty and not fresh. The breaded fried chicken, French fries, and fried shrimp were all dried out and hard. There was no soup at all—especially the sour and spicy soup I usually enjoy. Even the rice and stir-fried noodles were dried out and overcooked, completely inedible.
In short, the food that day was not meant for us—we completely wasted our money.
Update 12/30/2025.

Good food! The sesame chicken is their best item. The roast beef is good too. Their Wanton Soup is excellent, and they don’t put onions in the soup. No onions in the Wantons either.

My experience here was deplorable! I can’t believe how far downhill this once great restaurant has gone. The food was not only disgusting it was also cold despite being atop heating stations. Everything tastes bland and even spoiled. My brother joined me here and by the time we arrived home, he was nauseated after eating here. I remember the good ole days when this restaurant was jammed with customers. Yesterday, we saw only 3 other patrons in the middle of the afternoon.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone and feel it should be closed. Even the dining room was gross and dirty looking.

If you decide to go here on Christmas, be prepared to hear the same one minute segment of a Christmas song, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
How convenient for the restaurant: we’re asked to pay first, and then after they have our money, we are subjected to a form of torture to chase us out. The food was decent (could have been labeled better), and the staff was nice, but if an establishment is going to pull pranks like this on customers, particularly on a holiday, we’ll explore other options in the future.

Went there on Christmas day. There was 15 people in our party. They had ham and vegetable egg fu young mixed, the pepper steak, roast beef was not bad. The foods that are hot are usually marked or as others due they don’t use a lot of spices. I thought it wasn’t bad because I don’t eat foods that are usually spicy. Other then that I would go back again

I had my heart set on Chinese today. Good thing too, this place was awesome! I came to the lighthouse and beach with my Dad. Then we came here to eat.
This buffet is above average! Buffets are a hit or miss, and this is definitely a hit. Reasonably priced, hot food and lots to choose from!
I just loved the Baked crab, Coconut shrimp and sesame chicken.
Lots of dessert too, including cookies and ice cream. Chocolate chip cookies were just okay. You should come here for the food and not the dessert. Not saying the dessert is bad or anything.
The Chinese food is something else! So good, I just wanted to keep eating.
Oh! And they have sushi. I liked the sushi too.
I only wish I lived closer to eat here again.

Great place to go in for lunch and they weigh your food based on what you take to go.
The buffet has all the typical hot food and lots to choose from. There are many desserts too, but normally I don’t get those as I just get take out for lunch.
They also offer sushi, which wasn’t anything special, but definitely decent for being a buffet.

The MOST HORRIBLE Chinese buffet we ever taste. Food wasn’t fresh plus there’s a bad smells coming from the kitchen that makes us sick. The grill hibachi thing has no eggs … the food was sitting there for a long time. We had diarrhea when we got home. Never again!
