Mediocre at best....hostess was not terribly friendly and appeared to wish she was anywhere but here..
It is buffet...I didn't think there was anything "special" on the menu...people buzzing around but relatively 0 table check-in. Napkins as always are at a premium...the soups were tasty...checken wings dry...several Asian chicken dishes seemed like the meat was dry which to me means it has been sitting there most of the afternoon.
Pepsi products not coke...your beverage is extra ($2.79 for a refillable soda...but no-one stopped by to refill and the machine is way in the back...kind of off the main floor...white rice and a small sushi selection which consisted of the pretend sushi items like California rolls and maki...soy sauce was light and super salty...the Wasabi and pink ginger were good.
Off to try the "blue bunny" ice cream before I head out.
Check with the wait staff or hostess with seating you are in. There is not only a difference in price but restrictions on food/ dishes that can only be eaten at dinner - clearly marked!
I will try another buffet some tile down the road....this is #2...so far not much luck although I remain hopeful.
Yes, I realize this is a buffet....but I have been pleasantly surprised a few times just not here.
I will let you know in the next few hours if they use MSG. I forgot to ask, and it's too late now!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lisa N.Bradenton, FL9192Oct 5, 2023
Worst food you ever will pay for. This place fills up for dinner but the buffet is awful. Cold food is warm. Hot food is cold. Food is dry and stale. And the place smells of mildew.

Went for Christmas dinner and it was the exact same buffet they have on the weekends except more expensive. Quick and efficient service even though they were extremely busy. Everyone seemed stressed. It was noisy and smelled a little musty. My favorite thing was the mushrooms and egg drop soup.

Was not impressed . Food was okay but place smells bad . Carpet looks like 80,000 soldiers marched through it coming from the swamps . If you go . Please look at the condition of the carpet and the smell . You will thank me later .

Delicious Chinese, good sized buffet, with entrees, vegetables, sides, fruits and dessert bar. Fresh, well prepared, reliably flavorful...Our favorite Chinese!
