    Found this place looking for a spot that had pho! While the service was absolutely fantastic, I can't say the same for the pho. The noodles, vegetables and meat were great quality but the broth was bland, colorless and overly greasy. Lacking the signature spices that go into pho I left here a little disappointed however I would happily return for the other dishes!

    I'll update on the other food stuff when I return!

    Decent for a Chinese buffet. I've had better and I've had worse. This one was definitely in the A-OK range.

    Seated quickly and off to the buffet, there was a good stock of plates ready. The steam tables were low on some items and it seemed like the kitchen was more focused on platters of delivery items being cooked and foiled up then placed on trolleys and taken out. This continued for about a half hour and then things improved some.

    I managed to stick to a keto-in-spirit eating program by avoiding the noodles and rice and battered. I did one trip to the hibachi that was mostly beef and onions and peppers, but the chef overcooked them to beyond well done. The beef turned tough. The sushi selections looked good and not all of them were covered in sauces. Some basic sashimi items there were nice.

    I skipped dessert and did not drink soda. $14 or so was fair for the amount and the quality of food. They also have a free wifi.

    My waitress kept my water refilled and cleared dishes promptly. When it was time for the check, she processed it quickly there too.

    If you want to feast/gorge on multiple dishes - Chinese, seafood, ribs, fish, sushi, salad and even ice cream. This is your place .  It's clean and the workers are attentive and friendly . You can also have some hot or sweet and sour soup. You'll definitely leave with a full belly... and probably feel some guilt if you partake too much .

    Great selection to choose from. This is how Chinese buffets should be with tons of variety, while also offering sushi & hibachi. Food quality is decent for Chinese buffet style. What I didn't like was how quickly they try to shut things down. Came on a Friday night and their hours clearly say at entrance doors - closing @ 10:30 PM. False. They start taking the buffet bar food down at 10:00 PM and the sushi & hibachi chefs leave their stations as well. The cleaners begin wet mopping the floors to the point where it's extremely wet and puddly and you cannot walk to get food anymore. Don't even attempt to avoid all the water and shoot straight for the dessert section without wanting to get wet because there will be somebody pressure washing the walls back there and you will get sprayed. Couple customers arrived @ 10:15 PM and staff told them they couldn't eat and the two left unhappy. If it were up to me, and I'm in charge, with a visible 10:30 PM closing time, that'd be the final call where the last customers may be seated. If not, then please change the hours to 9:30 PM because it's steering people in the wrong direction. I felt rushed and panicky as I was sitting in my booth trying to enjoy my food. Chairs were being stacked on neighboring tables around mine and the phrase, "no rush" kept being thrown out multiple times by waitresses who will also slam the check on your table, implying you to eat faster. And I understand, they don't want customers lounging around all night on a weekend, but 10:30 PM closing to them means all restaurant staff will be walking out locked doors at 10:30 PM with lights completely shut off. That's not how typical restaurants operate, and maybe this isn't your typical restaurant, so the hours of operation must be adjusted. They also don't refill the food, so if they're out of something, you're out of luck. Which defeats the purpose of a buffet. If I want more Peking Duck or General Tso's Chicken, I'd like the option to have all I can eat, hence why I chose to come to a buffet. Overall, solid bang for your buck, but don't expect much and don't come at night after 9:30 PM.
