Lucky Buffet

It’s been five years since leaving Washington so part of the return was a visit to one of the few Chinese buffets available that I frequented often. I’m glad to report the food was FRESH, with the exception of the sushi bar - smelling the product gave fair warning they weren’t rotating the product frequently enough. And the sushi wasn’t cold enough even though the ice bed was fresh. It should be noted that my Chinese food cooking skills have advanced significantly these past five years. So I arrived with a different palate- more educated. More mature. So three stars ONLY because I found the appropriate seasonings to be weak. Lacking in strength. The way the food was cooked was spot on. And to pull that off for a massive Buffett requires skilled and trained staff. So very pleased to see they know what they are doing. And staff was continually checking the food and adding more. I checked by sitting close to the buffet. There was never a shortage of food or staff checking. Also good to see someone always sweeping the floor keeping it clean. Good sign of a restaurant. Wait staff were attentive and polite. Impeccably groomed and clean. Good sign. So after rereading my review I’ll change it to four stars. My only complaint is the sushi needed more attention and some of the sauces could use a little more potency with the spices. I will go back to this place. Not for the fried dumplings (steamed are better in my opinion). But for a good variety and quality of fresh Chinese food.

I do not recommend this place. The food is not at proper holding temperature. Be careful what you eat here. Some food is not prepared properly. Some is not cooked all the way. Not to mention that they have these signs everywhere that state if you waste food then you will be charged an extra $10 per person. The ice cream is self service and is real icecrwam in tubs. This is HIGHLY problematic an very unsanitary as I personally whitnessed several kids and adults grab the scoop, reach into the tubs with questionable hands and scoop ice cream, lick their knuckles and proceed to scoop again. No gloves are provided an this should really have an employee serving people so that sanitation can be enforced and maintained. I do not recommend this place.

Have to say I am not that big on buffets but my wife really likes sushi so I went. We had gone here before and had decent experience but this last time was REALLY worth it. All the food was fresh and hot like it should be. Prices have gone up, we went on a Saturday night so that is to be expected but for everything you get from drink to salad to dinner and ice cream desserts. It is worth the price. Kendra our server guy who took away plates was awesome too. Very clean place and kept food up with all the people coming too. Will come again.

I came in with some friends this evening and I have never been here before, and I was so blown away! The place was clean and very spacious and had alot of options for seating and spaced out from the other customers. The food was delicious! I mainly just got seafood items and the options were many. I noticed that the staff always kept everything full and everything was fresh and hot. The quality was great for all food choices and the staff was on top of clearing our used plates off our table. I'm definitely going to come back and recommend this place to others! This is the best buffet I've ever been to in Snohomish County.

For the price. One of the worst buffets i have been to. Dishes were not consistently clean. Sweet and sour chicken was 99% breading and cold. Egg flower soup was passable. Mongolian grill was about on par if overcooked. Produce could use more quality control. Too many dish unlabeled had to skip for risk of allergies.
