So i got some good shots of the place including the back parking lot. Which right off the bat i need to say is the best option, as thier is only on street parking on the front entrance side, with allot of traffic.
So lets get to it. I came in for late lunch. They had the usual main options noodles and rice, broccoli beef, fried shrimp. Some non asian options as well. All the food i had was fresh and tasty. I recommend the crab cakes on the shell, which were made with real crab meat. I was however disappointed that they did not have sushi under the sign that said sushi.
The place is clean, the employees attentive but not super friendly. Here's the real skinny. I would come here again, for lunch or a quick bite. I don't think it will make it on my favourites list though.
Again look for parking in the back as its the best bet, i provided pics to help you find your way.
So all in all, i give them 👍👍👍

Went to go eat on a Saturday with the family and the cashier was so RUDE!! My little brother is 8 and autistic. He claps his hands a lot. The cashier stepped back numerous times, rolled his eyes and gave this 8 year old kid dirty looks when we had just walked in to pay. I drove from Fresno but never again!! Had not experienced this anywhere else in my life.

Wasn't awful, but also wasn't great. $95 for a family of five and only two of us got drinks. The selection was okay but the food was less than impressive. It seemed like much of it had been sitting quite a while because it was mostly dried out and hard to chew.

This was our first time eating here and wasn’t to impressed. Just like any other buffet it was dirty, the walls were dirty, the glass dividers between the tables were dirty and there is carpet on the dinning area. The salad bar was good fresh the rest of the food was okay but wasn’t hot. I guess their burners didn’t heat up well. Desserts tasted stale, except the fresh fruit. There’s a lady in the back making some kind of pasta...she was the one that kept an eye on the dinning customers and she also cleaned tables too. For $10 and all you can eat I guess if you are really hungry it’s okay to go here once in a great while when your broke.

This place has great food and a good eating area, they need to work on is keeping the bathrooms more cleaned and have their ice cream machine working since the ice cream is what I look forward to after my meals.
