This place is okay..the food isnt amazing, but its passable. I come here with my family maybe once every month or two and lunch is pretty cheap. I just wish that they would clean the plates better, but l've seen that with a lot of buffets, so..
Eh, and one time someone was sweeping under our table while we were eating too.

Wow, I can't believe none of the reviews mentioned the fact that the lunch buffet special throughout the work week is $6. Hells yeah is that a good value. Sure the food isn't all that great in "quality" but what do you expect at a cheap buffet at SIX bucks?  I've gotten sick from eating there a couple of times but then I go back for more. The rate at $10.99 gets better food in and that's ideally the best place to eat if you want to eat a crapload of oysters. It's better than what they serve at O-Nami's.

This place is lucky enough to get 1 star.  I did not want to come to this place.  I don't like going to buffets and not a fan of chinese food either.  Only reason we came here is because we always see alot of people at this restaurant for some reason.  I'm assuming because they have a big sign that says $5.99 per person which is pretty cheap.  Oh, but that's lunch price and not dinner.  Dinner is $10.99.  Um...food really sucks.  Everything tastes like it's been sitting there for a while or have been reheated so many times.  The workers were brooming the floor while we were eating.  Um...hello?!?!  That's nasty!  The dirt and dust and fly in the air into our food.  Oh, I'm surprised they had crab legs.  BUT...they were cheap about it.  I had to keep on asking when they're going to bring it out.  The owner (or cashier) says"you have to wait 30 or 40 minutes".  So I was complaining all loud so they brought it out.  I got so upset that I grabbed a whole bunch and just broke all the legs so they can't recycle them.  It tasted horrible!  I think they steamed it so many times cuz you can't taste the sweetness or any crab flavor.   Please don't go there ever!

This chinese buffet manages to earn 2 stars just for their crab legs and standard jello/frozen yogurt options.  The variety of items varies from orange chicken and mongolian beef, to hamburger patties and slices of pizza.  Unfortunately, I would have to say that as a whole each dish was significantly worse than fast food fare (Panda Express, Pizza Hut, etc).  

The $10 cost  for dinner forced me to try and get my money's worth, which in retrospect was a bad idea.  Unfortunately, the most popular item (crab legs) was not something I was a personal fan of.  So if you need an all-you-eat cheap crab fix, give it a try.
