🌟🚛Truckers can fit Bobtail in front and there's room for tractor and trailer to the side of the building it's in🚛🌟 We parked Bobtail out front where another was

✨Absolutely fantastic buffet!! Had never been here before today and was blown away. Not as big as some "Super" buffets but still had plenty! They don't seem to use the usual same bagged crap every other buffet uses with all the same flavors and low quality rubbery meats and overly rich sauce. They make the same dishes but made so much fresher, with crispier vegetables, meat that is blatantly better quality and tastes great! Good sauce, good egg rolls and crab Rangoon. Their noodles are awesome, also rice noodles and 2 kinds I didn't even get to, three different kinds of fried rice, one was combo with triple kinds of meat. They even had a Mexican food type bar as well with really good stuff, a lot of Chinese soups, more than just egg drop. Comfy seats and lots of room. Ice cream looked like it had melted and then been refrozen so was iffy on all that since it was all flavors. Got pudding, peaches, donuts and the little chocolate cake thingy instead and that was all really good! I usually have a lot of rejects from funky meat, hard things, stems, just whatever and hardly had any! Also had other fruit as well. The kids fries and chicken nuggets even looked so good I almost got some 🤣. Had the McDonald's coveted nugget look and they expensive! Lol. Will...

I am not one to usually say anything about a restaurant, but our experience this evening at your restaurant was sickening. First of all there were children running all over and touch the buffet all while the clean plates were facing upward and kids were picking them up and putting them back in the clean pile. Secondly, Multiple people were using their hands to pick up fruit, egg rolls, chicken nuggets, and french fries with their bare hands. Had the staff not been hanging out at the front being lovely dovey huging on each other or in the room off to the side that you have to take steps to get to, maybe this would have been under control, but no one said a word. The woman sitting in the booth in front of ours was sharing her plate and silverware with two small children, and then returned to the buffet with her same dirty plate and used her fork they were eating with to get food off of the buffet. My son and I paid and got out of there quickly as my stomach was curdling from the disgust we had seen. Maybe it was a just a bad night, but I was appalled at what I witnessed. The place could also use a deep cleaning and some good sanitation at least make it not...

Due to a time constraint I and my friend decided to stop here for a late afternoon lunch. It was a little after 3pm. I told my friend the reviews were really good. We entered and I was greeted by a friendly staff member and seated. The buffet had a lot of variety however the food was old. The coating on the sesame honey and the coconut chicken were so hard it was difficult to eat. The rice noodles were chopped up and dry. The egg was starting to dry out and turn brown. The chicken and beef in various dishes were chewy. The flavor was ok. The food was also not hot in temperature. I feel like the reviews were misleading. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're used to going to much larger and better buffets in the area. We will not be returning. The price was suitable. Everyone was nice. However I asked for change to leave a tip and received no 1's.

As for the Mexican food portion of this buffet I was concerned. The dishes sounded good but by the looks of it all it had been sitting untouched and was full. Proper temperature was a huge concern in addition to how long these items had been sitting out untouched.

Overall, This is a 3 star...
