The best Chinese buffet! The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is so delicious! It’s not a fancy place, but they don’t need to be! They do best what matters, the food! It’s a humble place where you feel full & comfortable.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Been coming here since I was so little! I grew up eating their delicious Chinese options and to this day my favorite Chinese restaurant ever! I even came here to celebrate the day I got married! They even offered us free fried shrimp to congratulate us! The people are so kind and always working hard for so many years! I will never get tired of this place, in my opinion their food cannot compare to any other Chinese food!

It may be small but just like you don't judge a book by its cover don't overlook this place. It's selection is small but just perfect with everything that one needs at a "Chinese" buffet. The noodles were ridiculously tasteful while their fried potato dish was something new and tasted just right. It's nice how you go in and go straight to getting food even if no one is attending the reception desk like at home. The owner and chef even personally came out to ask what we wanted more of and made its extremely quick. Also at a price of around 8 with tax, give or take a dollar depending on the time of day, this is one restaurant I would highly recommend!

My family has been eating here for over two decades. It’s nothing fancy but always hits the spot. Great prices for the food.

Small restaurant with very nice staff. About 20-26 different dinner items to choose from, plus desserts. You also have to refill you're own drinks, including coffee and tea.

What a nice place. Small, hidden, very modest but very good food and service. The owners make great effort to keep the food fresh and refill constantly. Good place to come in with friends and family without breaking your budget.
