Used to love this place. They say they are open until 10 on FRIDAYS.. but if you don’t get there before 6pm you won’t have any fresh food or access to the hibachi or sushi. They will tell you “no sorry we already cleaned everything up we’re not making any.” And then charge you FULL price anyway. The OWNER lady was full blown sleeping in the booth with a blanket & all while customers were getting turned away. They didn’t put out any fresh food. They turned away full families that came in to eat because they didn’t feel like cooking or putting out any fresh food. The waitresses are the ONLY nice people there!!! If you’re lacking business change your hours! And if you’re struggling to get customers.. maybe treat the ones you do get, better!! I don’t leave reviews often but there is clearly a reason this place only ever has 1 or 2 tables of people throughout the whole restaurant. This review is not an exaggeration!!! They talk about you behind your back in their language. Tonight they lost a loyal customer! It is what it is… YOU DONT CHARGE FULL PRICE WITHOUT FULL SERVICE. Horrible business plan. Protest with your dollar.. they lost mine. Hate to say this.. but it needs said!

We visited on a really cold January day and it was not comfortable without wearing our coats. The buffet looked appealing and we were hopeful seeing steam coming off it . Yet, the food was barely warm when we ate it.. Tea was nice and hot, at first! Really missed the green beans that were replaced with cabbage.
Service was good. There were very few people dining that day.p

It was very cold like it was outside. My friend and I like to come here but recently been going down hill so badly. First the took away some of the food we love like the green beans. Tried the fried dumplings they were hard and cold. Tried the chicken teriyaki on a stick that was hard and cold too. The cakes were hard a rock my friend literally tapped it on the plate it made a sound. I went to get the cantaloupe it looked riped I was wrong. It tasted terrible like it went bad. When the server asked if we wanted to split the bill I said I wanted to see how my friend decided. She didn’t understand until I said not now. This isn’t the first time we said something to them and they didn’t understand. We are very disappointed with the food. It used to be good but went downhill.

We used to go here all the time, but now it’s going downhill. Food options are good but only if you go before 7 pm. After that, even though they don’t close until 10, they stop putting out fresh food, they close the hibachi and sushi stations, and start cleaning up. But you still pay full price ($20) for leftover dried food, but no sushi or hibachi. Which is supposed to be included in the price. We even asked for sushi and they told us they don’t have customers so they already cleaned it and are not making anymore. But there were other customers, and we are loyal customers currently there, so why are we just getting scraps? It’s disrespectful. We would rather be turned away at the door than be welcomed in just to only have 5 dried up pieces of chicken to choose from.

Let me start by saying that the service was pretty good. The food on the other hand was terrible. We did go in at around 8 p.m. The food was dried out and cold in some cases. The restaurant had no heat. They had a bunch of space heaters going. We were just disappointed with the overall experience. One of the biggest disappointments was that there was no peel and eat shrimp or any shrimp options for that matter.

This place has NO heat. It was so cold we all had to put our winter coats back on. By the time you get your food on your plate and back to your table to eat, it feels like it came straight out of a refrigerator. My toes burned and our fingers was so numb it was hard to grasp the utensils. I said to multiple workers about the heat but no one can understand what I was saying. When leaving I did let thdm know that it was not an enjoyable meal when all we did was shiver while eating cold food and we will not be back lol not that anyone understood me.

P.S.S. — I got sick that night also. Food poisoning.
Sept 3, 2025 – I haven’t been to this location in three years. Thought maybe its gotten better. I was wrong. I should have known this as soon as I pulled into the empty parking lot.
It was prime time for dinner, but the serving tables had what looked like leftovers from lunch. Nothing available was edible; and honestly, their shrimp and crab meat in butter tasted like cat urine.
The best thing I had was my glass of water.

This place is disgusting. The food is gross. It’s dry, off flavors (think spoiled) over cooked, and just gross. There was something hard in the sushi 0/10 would NOT recommend. Would not send my worst enemy here. Hard pass.

Good Chinese buffet with a little something for everyone. Offers a WIDE variety of typical Asian food + sushi + hibachi + limited but ample selection of traditional American food (pizza + fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and gravy) + desserts (bite sized pastries & 8 kinds of icecream) + a LIMITED salad bar. The steamed crab legs were a definite PLUS, as were the crawfish that you don’t normally see in most restaurants, let alone an all-you-can-eat buffet. The dining area was SPACIOUS and clean, as were the restrooms. Conveniently located with ample parking and easy handicapped accessibility. The friendly and attentive staff were appreciated.

Dining room was still cold despite the bullet heater fighting for its life. The food was even colder and hard enough to qualify as construction material. I was shivering and chewing aggressively. Overall vibe: survival mode. Would not return.
