Worst Chinese Buffet

This place scams customers by charging them two meals per person. This happens if you go there when the lunch changes over to dinner. You will end up paying a double price for you meal. They also hang over you and make you feel uncomfortable because they don;t want you to eat too much. Very poor customer service, the management is terrible. The crab is often left over, the food is cold, restrooms not clean. I would never recommend this to anyone.

My favorite buffet.

Alright, I made a profile just so I could shut some of you other reviewers up. So how is the food? It is buffet food. This being said it is at the top end of buffet food. The spring rolls are always perfectly cooked and after that wonderful crunch they just melt in your mouth. The sushi is usually a good mix of traditional and California style. It is however buffet sushi and unless you love all sushi with an in inexplicable passion like I do, you may just want to shell out the extra clams and get the real thing. Other highlights: raw oysters, chicken skewers, Mongolian beef, and the crab puffs. As far as the crab goes, its about the same as most casino buffets but not as consistent. I will say this: Stay away from the lobster! It tastes like overgrown crawfish in some terrible starchy garlic sauce.

I would rate the servers a “B-”. I usually get pretty well attended to with napkins and refills. When I don’t I let myself be heard and get what I need. I have been at much better, more expensive restaurants with much worse service.

Lets face the facts, THIS IS A BUFFET!!! When you go for lunch, and then stay for dinner, and then eat crab they don’t like that. They are a business with a bottom line. I dare you to find a good buffet that doesn’t enforce the lunch to dinner thing.

Also I have been eating there for 8 years and have never felt rushed by servers. If I have felt rushed it was because every seat in the house was full and the entrance was blocked with people waiting for their turn at the best buffet in Thurston county.

craby service and No crab

We have been going here for years, suffering through terrible service but pretty good food. We went today during lunch and at the end, they put crab legs out, so my daughter and I got some, and were promptly STALKED back to the table by the snearing waitress, who informed us that the crab was for dinner only. so we offered to pay the $8.99 dinner price (posted on the front door) and she told us it would be $14.99 for crab. WTF. So we gave the plates back to her and what she did with them- we dont know!!
This place has mean people that work there, and as stated by a few others, all they care about is the allmighty buck.
I’m pretty sure they talk nasty about people in Chinese to each other too. I have had enough of this place and will go to the other Buffets in town!!

Never again

I am NOT going to this place again. The servers are very unprofessional and NOT very nice. I went there with my family (big family, big table) and they RUSHED us out the door, by standing there, STARING at us eat after giving us our check, AND we had been sitting there with our glasses empty for the past 10 minutes. They already got their money, so they’re happy. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a buffet. Needless to say, they didn’t get a tip.
