LA local sees it exceptionally good with very reasonable price. The mussel is our favorite. Instead of cheese, soft steamed egg was added on the shell. Together with the fresh and sweet mussel, it creates a taste that we never had and won everyone’s heart. I would also recommend fried rice noodles. Without much seasoning it’s giving out some reminiscent home taste.

The interior is exceptionally clean, and there is a wide range of food options available. The quality of the food was remarkable, with freshness evident from the kitchen. Yummy Dishes were consistently replenished to ensure each container was filled.
My culinary delights include pot stickers, egg rolls, fried cheese wontons, and sesame balls. Coleslaw was salty not sweet.
For meat entrees, I tried the orange chicken and chicken with peanut sauce, but I didn’t sample the soups, which appeared appetizing .
As for seafood entrees, the baked salmon was decent, but the baked mussels were overly mayonnaise-heavy. However, the fried shrimp and coconut shrimp were absolutely delicious and flavorful.
There are still more menu items that I haven’t tasted yet .
Guests have commended the delectable and fresh food selections offered at the buffet, which include popular items such as peanut chicken and orange chicken. There is a broad array of both Asian and American cuisine. The establishment features traditional Chinese dishes alongside a sushi bar, offering a great variety of sushi options (California, Philadelphia, Alaska, rainbow roll, etc.) as well as an appealing assortment of fruit desserts and standard buffet items.
The staff was also very pleasant. Has Tasty desserts, small round cream puffs, cake swirl, crispy chocolate pastry, jello, puddings (chocolate & tapioca), chocolate cake (not to sweet) ice cream vanilla, chocolate soft serve or swirl mix
Additionally, customers have the option to choose take-out based on weight.

Food is great. Break down as follows
American style sushi (California, Philidelphia, Alaska, rainbow Roll, etc): fresh, rice is right texture, seasoned properly, simple.
Dishes you’d find at Panda Express (Orange Chicken, Gen Tso, Mongolian Beef, etc): not too salty, meat is tender. About the same as Panda.
Dishes that excel: Sauteed Eggplant, Sweet and Sour, grilled chicken, Sauteed Clam, Seaweed Salad. The eggplant tasted like homemade Chinese food. The clam had no bad fish smell, super fresh. The clam quality is above what I can make at home. Their seaweed salad tastes straight out of NE Chinese restaurants. It’s a niche dish that is served only in small regions of China, but found here.
Overall: amazing food for its price, much better quality and variety than Panda. Plenty of variety with some niche regional dishes.

My family came here for dinner on our drive down to the Bay Area from Oregon. Our expectations were not high but we were pleasantly surprised. It was perfectly decent with some delicious options. Food quality was above average and the service was good. I’ll definitely save this spot for future trips.

Not high expectations based on the outside, but it was great! Super clean inside, great food, although I wish all the dishes had labels.
This was the first place that actually has good soft ice cream! Super creamy, no gritty texture at all, which has been all I’ve ever found. Very happy with our visit and would definitely return.

Definitely the best dine in experience for Asian food in Humboldt County the food is really good they offer quite the variety and sushi!!! Its all up to code as well and is fly free!!!! Very sanitary tongs for everything the food is absolutely delicious and did not get me sick although their flavors are strong those with weak stomachs will probably have problems

As I’m rating this it’s not against all restaurants but against other Chinese buffets. And in that category it’s a solid American style Chinese food. The sushi was solid, as well as the Hot and Sour soup. Good fruit selection and the dumplings were good. The mai fun was poor. It did have an ice cream machine and the service was good

They changed one of their best main items a few months ago i guess it was, the orange chicken. It’s terrible now. It used to be plump chicken pieces with a light batter covering, but now it’s all batter covering and very little chicken. And if ya do get a piece with some chicken, its hard, stringy or very dark in color(weird). Its absolutely horrible. We went at least once a week if not twice, now we hardly ever go there. What a let down. I used to absolutely love this place. The place is clean and the service is great tho, so i guess that’s something. But that orange chicken is total crap! Please bring back the old orange chicken!! You can afford it.

We came on Christmas Eve and enjoyed the wide variety of options to sample from. My favorite was the sushi and the coconut shrimp. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was much better since they reopened from being closed a few years ago. Price per adult was $19.99. Will definitely come back when we want to stuff our faces full.
