Reviews
Only downfall was they didn’t have crackers for the lobster claws.
If that wasn’t enough of a warning sign, the overwhelming smell of Pine-Sol hits you instantly. It’s so strong it gives you a headache. That alone should’ve told us what we were in for.
The food was disgusting — there’s really no other way to put it. Yes, the buffet has a lot of options, but quantity does not equal quality. The coconut shrimp was sitting in a coagulated, nasty liquid. The lobster looked like it had been soaking in old dishwater. The pork ribs were discolored, chewy, and unappetizing. The calamari was hard and rubbery. I could keep going.
The only semi-decent thing I had was the ice cream — and that’s because it was prepackaged Hershey’s from the freezer. If you go, do yourself a favor and grab the Hershey’s coffee ice cream. It’s the only thing there that’s actually good.
The entire experience turned into repeated trips to the buffet, desperately hoping to find something — anything — that was even remotely decent. Unfortunately, we never did.
Short of the owner responding to say they’re closing the restaurant, there’s really no need for a response.
UPDATE:
Went there today and was disappointed. We anticipated the opening of this restaurant for so long:
PROS:
– Service is very friendly. The hosts smile as you walk in and properly greet you immediately. Servers are fast with refills and clearing tables.
– The restaurant looked clean.
CONS:
– The food is not even lukewarm. It is COLD. Please turn the food heaters up if possible.
– The quality is lacking. The food tastes very bland.
– Not suitable for those with allergies or vegans. Most buffets I’ve been to wont put EGG in the fried rice. Also, there was not enough options of cooked vegetables. Mixed vegetables in white sauce would be a nice addition or some eggplant as I’ve seen elsewhere. There was also no vegetable sushi that I saw.
– My partner did not enjoy his food and even had to spit some out. This is a first.
– The lighting is a bit too “bright” in there. Not sure if it’s the hue or the lightbulb but perhaps dimmer lights would help.
I really wanted to like this place, but I’m sorry to say that this is the worst buffet I’ve been to. Perhaps the owners will read this and see some ways they may improve as I realize this place is still fairly new.

Been waiting for this place to open. Came to check out this place today with my roommate. We got a 10% off coupon in the mail. Planning to return this month to try the food. Wonderful addition to this area.
All plates and cups are made out of styrofoam, which is highly unsafe for hot foods. Utnesils are plastic. I got shocked. Everything here was against the environment, and the owner didn’t mind it, just like Chinese people usually do in mainland China.
Except for hibachi, which I didn’t try, every food seems to be cooked or defrosted in the microwave. I’ve seen horrible Asian restaurants, but this is one of the worst ones. Food still had the scent of freezers.
Although it advertises as a sushi buffet, there is no authentic sushi with actual fish. As you will see from my photos, even a built egg is in the role. Gosh, it was unbelievable. Frid rice was extraordinarily salty and had the smell of a freezer. Even deserts too.
I do not recommend this buffet at all. The only reason I give one star is because it is the lowest rate I can give and also because the owner’s young son, who seems to be an elementary school student helping his parents.
I will never go to this restaurant again. I’d rather drive 30 minutes to go to Ruby Buffet if I want to go to a sushi buffet.
