This is perfect for picky kids! So much variety of kid approved food and lots of pizza fries fried food,fruit, rice. Also great if you want to be creative with your plate. Sometimes the food quality is better than others though. Does last visit wasn’t one of the best but it wasn’t horrible either. The service is always great and the staff is always attentive.

The food was always hot but I think they need more choices or change out somethings for new items. Upgrading the sitting area would be nice, people are too close. Less soy sauce when doing hibachi due to the salt.

Nice place, Kelly at the front desk was amazing and very friendly. I asked for special sushi rolls, she asked the chef to make them for me!!

The food was okay at best. The server seemed hardworking and attentive, but the service process was inconsistent and borderline suspicious. I was asked about soda rather than general drink options.
When it came time to pay, instead of taking my credit card and returning with a merchant copy to sign and add a tip, she kept pointing to tip suggestions on the initial receipt, which did not include a place to sign. I was unsure how to proceed and she did not say a word to explain. I was then directed to pay at the register (which I do not mind).
When I asked why, I was told that everyone pays at the register. However, less than five minutes later, I saw another customer paying and signing at the table.
Based on my past experiences, being asked to pay at the register is often done when staff assume a customer may not tip, which felt insulting and disrespectful. I did leave a tip despite largely serving myself, aside from receiving water and having a few plates cleared.
The server did apologize when I raised the concern regarding this inconsistency, so my impression is that this may reflect inconsistent training or communication rather than intent.
With clearer communication and better training, the service could better reflect the effort the staff puts in. I wasn’t offended, but I’m unlikely to return or bring my family in the future.

The food was fresh and warm. Good selection of sushi. Crablegs and stuffed shrimp were cooked perfectly. Loved the layout of the restaurant. Smaller area available for more private parties.

While in the area had to check a local buffet and it was an alright experience. Their sushi selection was pretty standard and done well. Always a good time when they offer eel and fresh nigiri pieces. While the buffet selection was a bit small the food was somehow still cold for most of things they offered. They offered more Latin foods than I expected like chicarrones and coquettes which was a mix. The chicarrones were greasy and not cooked long enough but on the other hand I really enjoyed the croquettes. The mei fun noodles had a very unpleasant flavor and the honey chicken were cooked hard so it was overly crunchy. Things like the bourbon chicken and the chicken balls were a highlight. The hibachi station has your usual options and the chef cooked it perfected. Having cooked broccoli instead of smaller raw pieces for the stir fry was a weird choice. Service was alright but being limited to about 3 napkins per person and they not offering anymore is a bit off putting. Overall, think it really suffered because of most of their foods options were cold at peak lunchtime but there are some redeeming factors they can capitalize to make this place much better moving forward.

I’m from NY and lived in PA and I can honestly say this is the worst chinese buffet food I’ve ever had. Many of the food items like chicken and dumplings were frozen items reheated and not cooked fresh. I did not try the wok but I wished I had left before my family got back to the table with a plate!

Why are the bad reviews so far down?? Food is bland. 1/2 is cold. The Guatemalan guy didn’t speak English and basically heated up the hibachi food I gave him with garlic butter & hot sauce. I wanted to walk out but we were so hungry. $10.99 sound great for a buffet dinner if you don’t mind paying that for pasta & rice. That’s what they loaded up on. First time & would never go back!! Good reviews are lies!!
The service was good. I even felt obligated to give extra to the servers just in case other people did not care.
