You don’t see this every day… a buffet with a koi pond inside the restaurant. Walking in feels like you accidentally entered a seafood buffet that also moonlights as a tiny indoor aquarium. The fish are cruising around peacefully while people walk by carrying plates stacked like engineering experiments. It adds a surprisingly calm vibe before you head back for round two (or three). Food selection is solid for a buffet, lots of options, and the koi pond makes the whole place feel a little more interesting than the average all-you-can-eat spot. Bonus points for the fish keeping an eye on everyone’s plate strategy. Good food, cool atmosphere, and unexpected koi supervisors. Solid buffet experience.
Great little buffet to over eat at. It isn't amazing but it gets the job done and there is something for everyone. My personal favorite were the jumbo shrimp and teriyaki beef steak. Great Chinese options as well and a nice fruit selection to wash down all the unnecessary calories in the end. You cand o yourself a favor and skip the sushi. It is not very good. I definitely are way too much. That's what I get for running 12 miles and skipping a meal. Fried chicken was fantastic. They have a coi pond as well.
This is one of my family's go-tos in Rochester. My young nieces especially like it. They love feeding the fish. The food is mostly Asian, and there's a lot of seafood available. There's a Mongolian grill set up towards the back. I always enjoy the fried rice and the sweet & sour chicken and hope to visit the Mongolian grill next time.
They have a large selection of different asian foods to choose in the buffet. Far more than any other buffet in Rochester. The food is usually hot and fresh. Depending on when what time of the day you go, the service can be pretty slow. The restaurant is clean and the aesthetics are a nice touch. It's a good place to go to take a large group or even if you just want to sit a while and eat.
I had a good experience dining here. If you’re having a hard time finding a Chinese buffet in town, this place is worth a try. The food was good, with mostly typical Chinese dishes. Some of the seafood items took a bit longer to come out, but overall, the restaurant is spacious, clean, and the staff were friendly and attentive.
I have never been to a buffet that was this well put together. It was so clean, the food was so freshhhh and delicious, the endless options there of sushi, sashimi, hibachi, a very large amount of sea food, every item you would see at another buffet, american cuisine for the picky eaters, a whole salad bar and fruit bar and so much more. This might not look like much from When you pull up and park, don't let the cover fool ya, it's gorgeous inside they even have a koi pond with a water feature. Plenty of seating. The cost for the buffet was way less than I was expecting to spend. Lunch and dinner have different prices. Unfortunately I was so impressed by everything that I forgot to snap photos but managed to snap pick of the koi pond on the way out.
O really liked the food here tho they didint really have alot compared to other places. But compared to other places really cheap
