    I would highly recommend going here over Lin Taste of China. Got double the portion for half the price. I mean the food was ok, not anything too crazy. There were many options at the buffet, a very calming atmosphere with Chinese music playing in the background. And the service was outstanding, the lady was super friendly and brought our food out within 10 minutes. If you're ever in the area, definitely stop by!

    Made to order food here is some of the best Chinese I've had. It's not a different menu than any other Americanized Chinese restaurant, but it's cooked better. I even prefer it to a lot of authentic Chinese dishes I've tried in Chinatown.

    Lovely atmosphere. Great service!! Not an extensive variety as some buffets, but what was there was very tasty. Great teas - hot Chinese and iced tea. Very reasonably priced!! We had a lovely evening eating here.

    Good food, good service, and the atmosphere is what you'd expect for a Buffet. Chicken LoMein is awesome! I'll be back!

    If there’s one thing I’ve noticed about the reviews for this restaurant is that many comments lack body, so I will try to cover everything I’ve noticed about this restaurant. For starters, the food is great if you’re looking for fast-food Chinese food. If you’re looking for authenticity or for high level Chinese food, then this is not your place. But if you’re hungry and want good quality fast food that isn’t burgers or something, Then this is a great choice. All the food has excellent flavor (I didn’t have desert though so idk about that, and the imitation crab in butter is weird) and the buffet area is clean. The one thing I will say about the buffet is that the labels are either in confusing areas or they don’t have labels for their food. The atmosphere is nice, it’s very quiet and relaxing. The place is run down but I would like for people to keep in mind that this place has been here a very long time and they are gratefully understaffed. They also don’t seem to bring in enough customers for a renovation. The place is still clean, just a little outdated. They literally have one lady running the dining room area and it seems like very few kitchen staff. The lady is very very nice and does a great job. Please have sympathy and compassion towards this restaurant. It’s not going to be 100% because they don’t have the money or staff to be 100%. ALSO it’s about 12$ a person as of right now, so you have an idea of price. Anyways, I really enjoyed eating here and definitely would again!

    Only one other guest, took what seemed like the one woman working a few minutes to see I walked in. Small buffet with only 3 islands, but get a value.

    I love this joint! The woman who runs the dining room is so sweet and attentive to tables and always makes me smile. The food is always delicious, and nearly always fresh, which is so different from other buffets! Maybe it’s because the dining room almost always has diners in it? I don’t know, but it’s wonderful. I’ll always suggest this first to friends looking to get Chinese nearby.
