I found this restaurant to generally be as described by the last few reviewers: a super solid, tasty, small Americanized Chinese food buffet. By those standards I thought the food was really good (in particular, flavorful), the staff friendly and helpful, and the price was very affordable (<$40 for three people). I'd definitely come back!
The food was Soooo Good! Just got off the high way to grab a bite, found this little gem hidden away. The buffet is this tiny bar about 15 ft long. At first glance it looked like a low budget option for Chinese food. We gave it a go… wow where we surprised! Every food item was made in small batches and tasted delicious. The lady at the register was super friendly and moved quickly to get us Anythjng we needed… and it was only $11.00
Being from Las Vegas, I was comparatively impressed. The atmosphere could use a touch up to bring in more of that Manderine and Cantonese feel with the what makes china proud, but the food was good! The service was timely and polite. For a buffet on Christmas, i was happy. It certainly beats out any chinese buffet that i have had at home. For under 20 bucks it was very much worth it. The only thing i thought needed help was the fried rice. More sesame, fish sauce, rice vineger, and to really knock it out, a dash of plum vinegar that is so unique to China. I know white people probably have no idea what good chinese food is, but this was good and if the cook reads this: xiè xiè nǐ I like your cooking.
Always so fresh and good food my wife and I really enjoy eating here at least once a month. Would highly recommend coming here for the fresh hot great food
