I eat here almost once a week and it's always good, it's also incredibly cheap since you pay by weight!
The place is lovely. A fountain greets, the glass is etched with scenes like swimming koi. The booths look warm and inviting with nice wood and red seats.
Currently, they will make up boxes of anything you like in which you pay about $6/lb for unless it's mostly seafood, which you pay $8/lb for. You are welcome to take it home or eat in.
I honestly hope they go back to a traditional buffet soon. I don't like telling someone else what I want and I feel I don't get to try everything they have to offer because I can't just see it and grab a tiny bit on a whim.
They are still worth the visit. My family likes to load up our boxes really full for at least 2 meals of munching.
We LOVE their new COVID business practices! We order on the website and it's ready within 30 min usually. The prices are very reasonable. The food is cooked fresh to order and they give massive portions! So much better than the old buffet style!
We are huge fans now! Tonight we ordered house fried rice, crab wontons, peanut chicken, chicken wings, Chinese donuts and white rice.
If you have tried them in the past but were disappointed, definitely give them another chance! We highly recommend!
Food its okay it has a big variety, sushi bar, dessert bar, and 2 more bars with other foods. Service is not the best. Sometimes servers get mad when you ask for stuffs or to be seated on a specific place. They remove your plates when they think you are done but I did got my plate removed when I wasn't done a few time. Bathroom has no changing table I feel that is a big deal for moms. Bathrooms do look clean and taking care off.
