This is one of my favorite places to go to.  They make the dumplings right in the front of the store and they are delicious if you like the thin skin style dumplings.  The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they do not take reservations.  They get very packed sometimes as the place is rather small.  So if you are going there for lunch, you will need to show up early or order the food early for pick-up/delivery.

Went here for mothers day. The entrees were delicious. I had risotto, my fiancé had lasagna, my mom had steak, spinach and mashed potatoes, my mom's friend had the seafood special with fresh lobster and mixed seafood with spaghetti (I wish I had ordered it now), and her husband had the grilled chicken with salad and a side of ziti.

For dessert, I had the chocolate cake, my fiancé had the cheesecake, my mom the ice cream, my mom's friend had the tiramisu with coffee , and her husband had tea.  The only thing we were not crazy about was the cheesecake because it's a ricotta cheesecake, however, they did mention that so that's fine.

I did order an ice tea but it was unsweetened so I just need to remember that next time I go or to ask as many places serve ice tea like that.

We didn't have any problems with our order or service. Everything was timely and perfect on their end. Fresh water was frequent, the bread tasted fresh and they made our table very happy.

Great place!  My co-worker took me here and it was much nicer than I expected for a lunch buffet.  The place is clean, the waiters were very nice, and the food was delicious.  It is all vegetarian (and kosher for those interested) and I had a great time.  Their dessert was really good and sweet.  I wanted to go for seconds but I will come back to the restaurant another time for it.  The lunch buffet only came out to $7.50 per person, which is fantastic for this area and you can eat as much as you like.  Looking forward to introducing this place to my family and friends in the future.

Just came back to work from this place with a couple of my co-workers.  At first I thought this was just a very large Red Mango so I never bothered to walk in but this is actually a food court.  

So when you walk in, there is a cash register to the left.  They give you one of those little buzzer things you get at restaurants when your food is done.

There are three floors in total.  The first floor has most of the food but the third floor also has a cafe with most of the seating called the Gallery Cafe and Bakery.  The second floor has fewer seating with a small MetroPCS.

After my buzzer went off, I went to pick up the food.  The food here is like fast-food Korean-influenced because its not exactly a Korean-fusion type of cuisine.  Its not horrible but not the best I've ever had either... as is with most fast food places although this place looks cleaner and nicer than a normal American fast food place.  I say all of this because of what I ordered.  

I tried the #12 cream seafood pasta dish.  It was a runny mess but the seafood and veggies was decent.  I would try this place again but go to a different food station.  I saw what my other co-workers got and it looked much better as well as they seemed to like it.  It was a lot of food though.  My dish came with 4 things: the main dish, a side of sliced pickles, miso soup (no tofu), and a salad with ginger dressing.  One of my co-workers ordered the shrimp lo-mien and the other a spicy tuna rice ball.

Overall, whoever designed this place did an excellent job.  Only the food needs a bit of improvement.

I plan on coming back again next week to try out the different food stations.

I went here with my co-workers.  One of them is Ethiopian and he introduced the rest of the group to the cuisine by ordering everything for us.  It was a great experience and the food was delicious.  I would like to come back and try ordering food myself and then I will decide whether or not I want to give it a 5 out of 5 or not.

Went here with my mom and her husband for Thanksgiving.  

*  Excellent service.  Tour of the restaurant upon request recommended.  The place is much larger than it appears with private rooms and an outdoor backyard where people can smoke through a hookah.  This area is also heated if it's cold outside.
*  Cuisine was excellent.  We get a nan-type bread at the table.  We ordered lamb and pumpkin samsa, babaganoosh, beef shish kabab, St. Pierre (the whole fish) with baked potatoes, rice pilaf with lamb, grilled vegetables in a garlic sauce, ice cream and baklava.  Everything was very good.
* Tons of food options.
* Great prices that ranged at no more than $10 (exception is the fish which is more expensive but that is because you get the entire fish with a side at no more than $20 per plate).
* Beautiful decor
Bonus: a belly dancer for their nightly entertainment.

Great place. After visiting their other resort (Cove Haven) three times, we wanted to try out this place. The place was easy enough to find. They have a creepy, yet cute, Halloween set up right now. When we got here at 9pm last night, they were so polite and gave us a complimentary dinner ticket to the cafe since we missed their dinner that's included in the all-inclusive package. We also received a free upgrade to the Egyptian-style room with a campaign glass jacuzzi with a heart-shaped, heated swimming pool, a free 5 x 7 photo coupon and a 20% off discount card on the cafe and gift shop because we are "forever lovers".

So far we have enjoyed the beautiful scenery and quaint arcade area. I lost some tokens on a machine but they reimbursed me, no questions asked and even gave us extra tokens to enjoy ourselves. They also gave us some free plastic glasses and cork screw for our wine.

Additionally, all the in-door activities, gift shop, stage and registration area is all in one building so it's great even if planning on coming during the winter time.

There is a full golf course outside with golf carts as well as an in-door miniature golf area and a hiking trail.

Breakfast and dinner is slightly limited in comparison to Cove Haven but wasn't too bad.  Their service was very nice.

There were some minor cosmetic issues with the room but since we only stayed the weekend, we didn't make a fuss over it. For example, there was a tiny loose tile in the bathroom and the arcade token loss. These minor issues are why I didn't give it a full 5-stars.

Overall, it's been really a great experience and I think I love this place more than Cove Haven, even though this place is somewhat smaller.

So if you like spacey decor, this is the place to be!  This place makes you feel like you're at a night club more than grabbing lunch.

The order process was interesting.  You can order through a kiosk using your credit card or go to the cashier.  From the kiosk, you get the option to get a text message when your meal is completed.  You also get two receipts: a long receipt with your purchase information and one with the order number that you need to hand in to retrieve your order.

There are several options of food (you can check out their website for a menu).  I got the Vegetable Potstickers, vegetable fried rice with roasted duck, and a bottle of Fiji water, which came out to a grand total of $19.  A bit pricey, however, their was enough for feed two people (I shared with my co-worker).  The dumplings were good and had lots of veggies in it.  The rice was okay for a fried rice.  I felt it had a little too much of a ginger flavor and I'm not a fan of ginger to begin with but can tolerant a decent amount.  Not this time.  The roasted duck was eaten before my boss could even take a look at it.  It was pretty tasty.

Overall, I felt that the meal was just about right for two people, with the exception of the rice being a little too gingery and oily.  Next time I want to try one of the burgers!  My co-worker got it and it looked kind of small but it was tall with all the toppings he picked.  Until next time!

Now I know why everyone raves about these burgers!  I'm not a huge meat eater in general, especially not a big burger eater, but these burgers taste like homemade to me.  

I went with my co-workers here.  This is an outdoor restaurant.  When I saw the huge line, I was like, oh wow, are we going to make it in time to eat and go back to work during our lunch hour?  So keep in mind that if you're going here on a nice day that you may be running a tad late.  However, although the line was a bit long, it was not horribly time consuming.  

They do take credit card so that was cool.  I ordered the Shack burger and they gave me a buzzer with my receipt.

I sat down with my coworkers and waited maybe 5-10 mins.  Everyone's buzzer's went off except mine.  So my boss said I should check because some of us had the same exact burger and it should have been made at the same time.  So I went back and the woman at the counter was very polite.  She asked me for my receipt and said, "One Shack burger on the fly please!" to her group.  It came up almost immediately and she apologized profusely for loosing the order.  She also offered me fries but I was good with the service.

The burger was delicious.  It's a bit small.  Like maybe 2 or 3 times the size of a White Castle burger?  It tasted how I like to make my own but without the spices.  

My co-worker ordered the portabella "Shroom" burger and it comes deep-fried.  She said it was good and she actually finished her's before everyone else.  

My other co-worker ordered the chocolate shake and it looked quite small.  When I asked him about it, he said, "it was good, not quite worth $5 though..."

The portion sizes are much smaller than most for the price.  It was a total of $6.75 for a Fiji bottle of water and the Shack burger.  Not too shabby.

Went here yesterday with my co-worker to sit and chat for lunch.  It's a tiny, cute little cafe with maybe 10 small tables total.  We both order the crepes.  Mine with grilled chicken and hers with smoked turkey.  There weren't many options but we wanted to try it.

When we got it, they both were wrapped in a wheat crepe with a little bit of a very spicy sauce on it.  The inside was delicious.  The outside was a little bit strong of a wheat flavor.  The spicy sauce was good but was a bit too spicy for my co-worker.  The amount seemed "just right".

The waiter forgot to give us our water but after reminding him, he quickly came back and brought it.

I might come back to try their desserts since I think that's probably more of their specialty though.
