I've had better, and I've definitely had worse. For as big as this place seems on the outside they sure don't have a huge selection on the buffet offerings, I never even noticed the desserts.

Just enjoyed a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner. $16.99 with a glass of soft drink plus tips. Roughly $25 each person. Plenty of parking, large variety of food options and all you can eat!

What a great deal with drinks included for an all you can eat buffet for under 20 bucks. Had a good selection of food from sushi, soups, salad bar, and hot food items so you can oink out. A very spacious dining hall. I liked their roast beef and went back for seconds because it was tender, juicy, and delicious. I maxed out with 3 plates, hot and sour soup, and finished off with a strawberry ice cream cup.

A well stocked and large variety buffet. A couple dishes were over cooked, but mostly tasted good. Server brought drinks quick but was a little slow to clear dirty dishes.

This caught us by surprise - it’s a smorgasbord! Dozens and dozens of options - curiosity got better of us and we had to ask the wait staff, they said it was more than 80 options. For the price (under $20 per person for dinner on a weekend!) it’s absolutely insane. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. Wish we had skipped lunch - I felt we did not do justice to the incredible effort the chefs put into the buffet. Tables after tables - appetizers, hibachi, seafood, chicken, beef, soups, desserts, ice cream - impossible to recollect. I loved the dim sums in particular.

I absolutely love this buffet, the food is amazing, workers are very nice, and apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks so. Some woman was so committed to getting in that she skipped the front door entirely and decided to install a drive-thru herself. You know what they say: “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” And she did. With her car. Through the wall. I was mid-sushi mission when the wall suddenly gave birth to a Subaru. Honestly, I’ve never seen such dedication to all-you-can-eat. My only complaint? The police said the drive-thru installation didn’t meet building codes and rudely made us all evacuate. Very inconsiderate.

We tried vegetarian stuffs out of the buffet area, We wanted to have Asian and we saw decent spread in the buffet so we decided to have the lunch buffet. The fresh noodles/rice hibachi was also good. Salad bar was decent too. It fills u up very quickly to be honest with u, but for 14$ plus tax it’s a lot of food. The desserts were my fav part, specially the coconut macaroons

Highly recommend this buffet! We came from out of town and had never heard of the place. Our server was excellent! The kindest woman who went above and beyond. The food selection was great, fresh and flavorful unlike any buffet I've been to before. My only recommendation would be to add more dessert options, but ice cream sundae station is wonderful. Will definitely stop in every time we're in town!
