At best, unimpressive. At worst rotten. Went in for the lunch buffet. First round of food was orange chicken, lomien and fried rice all of which tasted bland to the point of boredom. Side was egg rolls and cheese wonton. The egg roll was passable despite presentation being poor, the wontons were exceedingly bland with some lacking hardly any filling. Next round was honey walnut shrimp that seemed to lack flavor of honey or walnutand the shrimp had not be devained. Then beef and broccoli . The beef was cheap and lacked flavor and the texture was.... leathery. The broccoli was overcooked and tasted like it had turned bad before over cooking. Last was the sweet sour chicken which was again flavorless. The atmosphere looks like management couldn't decide between nice or standard Chinese restaurant but ran out of money half way through. The floors were dirty and the tables uncomfortable. The price was ok for a standard buffet but I consider this buffet to be far substandard

This restaurant receives top marks for its exceptional service and inviting atmosphere.

I ordered three dishes that appeared to be delicious curry chicken. I recommend trying it for yourself and taking a look at the online menu picture. The picture seems to resemble Tikka masala from an Indian restaurant. However, what we received was stir fried chicken and veggies tossed with store-bought Golden Curry, which tasted fresh and healthy but was not as advertised. The dish lacked the vegetables shown in the menu picture and the order of three entrees only came with two boxes of rice instead of one per entree as advertised. While the food was good, there seemed to be some discrepancies in the presentation and portion sizes. Overall, be prepared to compromise on the best food and best value at this restaurant.

Excellent service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
