My go to place for asian buffet in Auburn.
Lots of items, from sushi, sashimi, salad, soup to desserts. Love their food. just took picture of all the sushi I got.
Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this place.

The service from Dolma and Belle was fantastic—they were so attentive and polite, we never had to ask for anything.

The food was also a highlight, especially the teriyaki chicken, which was cooked to perfection. While the red pork was a little overcooked for my taste, everything else was delicious.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, with nice lighting and comfortable spacing between tables.

Not a lot of options on the buffet BUT what the do have is very tasty! They definitely know how to deep-fry things, everything was crispy. Their sushi selection, soup and dessert offerings were numerous and delicious.

Much better than most Asian buffets that I’ve been to.

We went during dinner time on a saturday. It was an ultimate regret. Some of the food was cold. The place felt dirty. You could hear a male staff member yelling and cursing at other staff in the kitchen. We spent about 15 minutes in there and were ready to get out. Way to expensive for the quality of service and food they give. You can go to a nicer restaurant and eat a decent meal for the same price. Would not go back.

We have been here a few times and we were here the other day and the place always has fresh food. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their restaurant. They have a lot of food choices, more choices than most buffets. Nothing is ever empty, and the food is always fresh when we were there. If they brought this restaurant to augusta, they would blow the other restaurants out of the water. The staff is always attentive, always refills your cups as soon as it’s empty and they are very pleasant. The prices are cheap and for the quality of food is beyond reasonable. The owners are very nice and interact with the customers. No matter the time of day it’s always busy but there’s usually no wait. My husband says for a chinese buffet the pizza is one of the best he’s had. They are small slices of pizza but my husband loves it. There is also other american food on the buffet. They offer a beer selection as well and have pepsi products.

Kids will love this place because there’s tons of choices. Chicken fingers, chicken wings, macaroni and cheese, pizza, etc. Tons of vegetarian options. The parking here is spacious and plenty of room, free parking. The decor is very nice, very elegant and sophisticated for an all you can eat buffet. They have tons of tables so it is wheelchair accessible. They accept debit/credit and cash. The only reason I’m not giving it a five star is because it’s very rare I give one but I absolutely recommend this place and hope you give it a try.

Overall, 4 stars! <3

The food is usually pretty good when it’s fresh, though they do tend to reheat uneaten food from the day before. The service is pretty good, and the food is delicious. However the used food carts and visible rusting makes me wonder if the carts are safe for foods to be served from. I personally think they should be replaced and updated. Other than reheated foods being dry and chewy, fresh foods are delicious. Though why are all the deserts dry? Cream puffs dry, coffee cake dry, and other pastry snacks. If they were to fix the concerns I have I could easily give them a 5/5 rating for everything. Try for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

The best for affordable Chinese in the area with as good of a selection as can be. Plenty of non-chinese buffet foods to keep your picky kid satisfied. Holidays has random added selections, whether it’s a dessert or entree they’re usually delicious. On the rare occasions they have it out, get the curry.

Takeout boxes are my go-to. Great price per pound.

The food is fairly predictable here so we generally choose this for takeout. This time our order was made incorrectly, but that doesn’t happen often. Food is decent and predictable each time. Wait was a bit long today. Stated 30m on phone took nearly 50. This was happened each of our last 3 visits (about 6month lapse) so maybe they just need to be more realistic when they give approximate time for pick up. Over promising and under delivering isn’t a good business model. Will give it another try but may find a different option if it happens again.

The place looked extremely run-down, which should have been my first clue to just keep driving. Unfortunately, I decided to give it a chance anyway, and the food was inedible. I picked a select few items just to try them, but aside from a very small taste of each, I couldn’t bring myself to eat any of it.

The dumplings looked promising at first, but they were so doughy and tough that a steak knife should have been supplied to cut through them. Nothing seemed to have any seasoning at all. The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour, it was bland and completely lacking flavor. I paid $18 and still had to go somewhere else to get lunch afterward.

Food overcooked and dry, some food was cold…rice dry….cranky waitress, her comments were sarcastic and rude, not quick to remove used dishes…bathroom reeked of urine. It literally smelled like a dirty litter box. Disgusting….people enjoyed the ice cream and 3 dishes from the buffet…I hadn’t been there in 10 years….and it was not a good visit this time at all for a party of 10….
