  The Good:
  Price and variety of food.  You can't find a better buffet place close to the Eastside. Service is good compared to other buffets.  Drinks are $1 for soft drinks and tea (free refill).
  
  The Bad:
  Bathrooms can be cleaner.
  
  The Ugly:
  I won't touch the chocolate fountain... double dipping and who knows.
  
  I had their lunch and dinner a couple of times and both are great.  Be sure to give a good tip to your server.  They work pretty hard.
  
  Good Eats, Everyone!

  I'm defaulting any buffet with fresh oysters with a 3 star rating if I didn't get sick from it. This is because my luck with oysters has been comedically bad. The last 2-3 times I've eaten them from restaurants I threw it up the next day. (Can I pick them or what?!) The oyster here was fresh and cleaned well.
  
  We came for weekend dinner and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated.
  
  The dessert section is the bomb! They have delicious cakes and mousses. Not to mention cotton candy, ice cream, and a chocolate fountain. I wish I saved more room!
  
  The Chinese food ranged from decent to delicious. Some dishes were bland and some were great. Everything did taste very fresh (esp veg dishes) and piping hot. I was surprised! Loved the honey walnut shrimp and soup choices.
  
  The American section of meats was plentiful and pretty typical too.
  
  The service at the Mongolian grill was a little awkward. The Hispanic guy behind the grill cooking was extra attentive to food from PRETTY girls - and ignored everyone else. Just something me and my husband noticed
  
  Nothing from the grill was labeled too well and I didn't know how much sauce to put in...or if they seasoned the steak for you or not. Some communication would be good but the cook was uhh... busy
  
  The sushi section I had big problems with. We came during dinner, and all we got was variations of California rolls with little else!!! Barely any toppings. Fish sliced so thin you're getting 90% rice. No shrimp tempura, no spicy tuna, no salmon...not even a philly roll. And no sashimi in sight! Just old nigiri with thin fish and too much rice.
  
  Oh my god it was so bad for buffet sushi (compare to Blue Fin in Seattle). I resorted to eating Mongolian grill and Chinese food when I was craving sushi. Good thing those were yummy.
  
  Overall I do like this buffet and would definitely go back. It's a solid 3.5 :)

  Cody and I have been eyeing this buffet spot next to our house for a while now. We finally went and tried it this weekend, and for an Asian buffet it's pretty good.
  
  we arrived around 6:15 PM on a Sunday and the wait looked lonnnng. Our friends had gotten their before us though, and we were seated shortly after we arrived. The place was large. We got sat and asked what drinks we wanted right away.
  
  Some of my favorite items from the buffet:
  - clams (cooked Chinese style, and it was really good)
  - Honey Shrimp (missing walnuts but still good)
  - Variety of Sushi Rolls
  - dessert Sesame Red bean paste balls
  
  Loved the large variety of food here, great seafood selection. About $20/person for dinner plus $1 for soft drinks, $1.50 for hot tea. Plus they had a Mongolian BBQ grill and a cotton candy machine!
  
  So we were a party of 5. When the bill came, we asked them to split it 5 ways, so we gave the waiter 5 credit cards. the guy came back with the receipts for us to sign, all of us were charged around $22, which was correct. But Cody looked at his receipt and he was charged the full amount of $110.00... we pointed it out to the waiter and he was really sorry for the mistake and immediately went and refunded the card and put the correct charge on it. From another reviewer's review, we are keeping an eye on our cards for any random unexpected charges.
  
  The food was actually good, too bad I now feel like the staff are shady people after our incident and reading 2 other reviewers who had mishaps with their bills/cc from this place... note to self: bring exact change for future visits.

  Smorgasbord,a feast for a Pan Asian spread of sushi,wide array of tasty buffet food.
  Huge place,roughly it can house  over a 100  patron in one time.
  Large selection of dishes,name it they have it,asian to american cuisines.
  For all the selections the few things that catches my attention and my YELP taste buds are the following,beef soup and i assumed its chinese or taiwanese style,the beef is already prepared you just have to select your noodles and veggies,this is a common mistakes  in this area,if you will not say you want a soup then your selection will automatically cook as chowmien.
  The beef is so so tender and the soup is one of the best i had since i do YELPING.
  Next is the fresh oyster,when we were there they served this small oyster which is for me the sweetest kind,i loved it...super doooper yummy.
  Next is the crayfish...when i was younger i thought it is a shrimp hahahaha a capput shrimp coz theres nothing to eat,very small meat in them.
  It catches my attention coz the size of crayfish in here were extra large,same taste though but larger spicy.
  The last one i really like is the fried plantain,they were so good like the  one  they serve in Brazillian restaurants.
  Service is average most of them were Chinese but bi lingual...
  The place is busy and full that only means they serve good and excellent dishes.
  Parking is free huge one shared with other businesses in that block.
  Interior design is dull,but the place is well lighted,washroom is averagely clean.
  Good for groups,family and kids-surely the kids will enjoy tons of fries and crispy fried chicken and good selection of ice cream and sweets.
  Noise level is average,accept all major credit cards,debit and cash.
  I wasnt able to chech the wifi(sorry guys)
  They have TVs and playing music when we came in.
  Pricing is okay considering of all this amazing dishes you will try.
  Fruits are so sweet,theres actually vegetarian option.
  I saw a duck dish aswell but im not into it...
  I recommend this place to locals and tourists...
  Money is worth...
  Ill visit again soon
  2thumbs up interma of food...

  I took about 6 oysters there last night and after I went home, I kept going to bathroom for the entire night, I had a serious diarrhea which I never had in my lifetime. You shouldn't serve those bad oysters to your customers, just let you know
