Customer Reviews
Grand opening days! Nice facility, the receptionist and waitress are excellent and attentive. There is a wide variety of food. Had the egg noodle soup, but the chips/noodles tasted stale. first time and some many people, $65 for 3 people.
He did this place for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. There was a bit of a wait about 15 minutes, but it went quickly. We got seated and started in on the buffet little bit messy but not bad items kept full.
I had seen the sign up as it was remodeled, and then someone mentioned it was open. I had been unimpressed with the previous buffet that was in the same location, but there was mention that it was totally different. So I made a visit while in the area. Initial Impression Immediately on entry, it was clearly apparent the whole place had been redone. The back wall had a grill, and off to the side was a bartender. A bright blue round buffet at the center of the restaurant gave the buffet a totally different look. Fresh chairs and tables, wall décor ect, made the place look so different you would never suspect it was even the same building you had been in before. Food Items I returned with a plate and made my first selections. The baked seafood was the first item I tried, it was pretty good, very tender, the cheese was baked nicely, all the flavors pretty even, temperature was hot, and tasted freshly made. Next up the steak pieces. Again, pretty good, they were tender, cooked about medium, well seasoned and juicy with a sweet glaze on them. I ate a few pieces of sushi, none really impressive, some general chicken, sautéed garlic green beans, and rice noodles, everything was decent to good. On a return trip I picked up 2 salt and pepper shrimp out of curiosity, as I've noticed its an item that is either average or very good at buffets. The batter here was perfect, it was crispy, salty, and I actually enjoyed the outside more than the shrimp inside. So far everything was good. The baked custard was good as well, the shell crispy and flaky, the custard light and sweet. I noticed there were only a few of these out at a time, and it appeared they were being freshly replaced. There were many items I didnt try, Cajun seafood boil, soups, fresh rolls, octopus, ribs, seafood salad, and much more. I didnt even make it to the grill to see if there were steaks. Wait Staff Issue Service was a bit spotty, my waitress only came by once while I was eating, and towards the end of my meal used my table as a bus station while I was getting another plate. They left other peoples cups on my table even after they saw me return, something I've never had happen before. My drink was only refilled once, and the wait service was probably the biggest issue with my visit. I know for some people seeing a stack of dirty plates being put on their table while still dining would have been the end of the meal. Service: 7/10 Variety: 8.5/10 Flavor: 8.5/10 Value: 9/10 Décor: 9/10 Overall Impression Despite the issue with the waitress, I would return here, as I hope she thought I had left, and this isn't a common occurrence. Compared to the other buffets in the city, this one is probably in the top 3 for variety, flavor and price. I would say theres maybe 2 buffets I would rank above this one, but one of them costs much more, and this one is a close 2nd to the other one.
Ok. This place is new so the wait will help you build patience. They're still getting the seating down, so more patience there. For the food, it's your standard buffet fair. Lots of seafood if that's your thing. My hubs steak was cooked to order and flavorful. He said the ribs were tender, he didn't care for the sauce. Pass on the Mac n cheese unless that's your thing... Pricing isn't bad for all you can eat, but food is quick to go slow to be replenished, so more patience there.
This spot!!! My daughter and I have been so excited to try this place…& we were SO pleased with our first trip! Everyone was incredibly nice, and the food was all absolutely delicious! I loved how big of a selection of everything they had! Especially their seafood options! And I love how they have a full bar. The atmosphere was incredibly nice too. One of the nicer buffet spots we’ve been to in a while. I also want to mention that the living was really great! My only complaints are: 1) The Chinese food selection wasn’t as vast as some places. Maybe just add a few more options? 2) It was a little warm in there. I know they’re still new, so hopefully this is something they’re working on. All of that aside - we’ll definitely be back!🩵
