Great food. It is a buffet. However, it is always clean inside. Good tastes great. The owners are always friendly.

This place used to be good; then got lousy; and is back tasting good again. A fair amount of variety on this buffet. And the dishes are all good to pretty good...with a couple being very good. All and all...a decent value for the money and all you can eat...

This place has been a local staple for years. It's rundown and needs a fresh update. However, it's kind of just what I've come to expect there. If you don't like a buffet and all that they are....visit their drive thru and everything you order will be made fresh. I will mention that it was 1:30 when we arrived and I did see them bring out 3-4 new fresh dishes while we were there.

I am very critical and will judge a place based on their cashew chicken. This is the best cashew chicken around. Hands down.
