    The restroom was clean & the hand soap pump was full of soap.  Always a plus.  

    *My personal favorites from this buffet included the General Tso Chicken, the cream cheese puffs, the cream cheese wontons, and their strawberry shortcake!   There are individual ice cream cups in chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla.  

    I read many reviews about this restaurant from people complaining about "too much seafood" and not enough other options.  To me, it looked like your typical Chinese buffet fare.  Plus a small assortment of sushi.  This place definitely has a larger selection than some Chinese buffets that I've visited.  

    I arrived at 7PM on a Thursday.  The crowd wasn't huge.   Most of the items on the buffet line were full.  Multiple items were replaced as I went to get more plates of food.  

    Some food was spilled from customers on the buffet line floor.  I noticed some of this food sitting on the floor throughout my multiple trips up to the buffet.  

    The dinner price for the buffet is $9.99.   Soda is extra, at $1.75.  So with tax, it came to $12.55.  Not horrible.    It's usually hit or miss it the buffet price includes a beverage or not.  I should've asked first.

    One of the worst tasting Chinese buffets I've ever tried. Everything was extremely greasy.  Even the meats were soggy and rubbery.  I don't even know how that is possible, but they managed to pull it off.  Avoid this place at all cost.

    Tried this place while in town for a week of work.  I've tried Chinese buffets & typical 'Americanized' chinese take-outs all around the country, I felt this place had minimal selection, & the quality wasn't there IMO, with the exception of the pork egg rolls which were surprisingly better than most buffet rolls, the broccoli, & the staple hot/sour soup.  It appears this place used to be a Dollar Tree (some letters still visible above window blinds), which are pulled shut & give you a 'closed in' feeling while eating IMO, would be a lot nicer with some light coming in as the place is really drab with 1 clock & nothing else on the walls.  This place gives the impression it was a bare bones start up with minimal resources.  I hope they can make it as a biz, & develop a much better overall buffet, the area seems like it needs it.  As a side note, I did not care for this town anyways.  The other buffet in town did not have good reviews so I rolled the dice & chose this place to sample.

    The food is pretty basic nothing really special about this buffet the service was very good and the price is pretty cheap so if you're looking for something quick and cheap this is the place to go.
