Went on a Sunday around 1:30ish. Was seated quickly and got my drink promptly. No child running around like other reviews have stated. But like a lot of other reviews stated, the food wasnt the freshest or hot. Decent selection but not enough to warrant the $12.99 price.

Years ago this place was really good. Huge buffet with lots of good choices. Covid seems to have taken its toll. Very small selection. Only a very few items that were not fried. The one item was chicken and broccoli. There was no chicken to be found only broccoli. One item that was actually very good was the fried chicken surprisingly. I was there at what should have been the peak dinner time and there was only one other customer. It was also fairly expensive for a Chinese buffet. Hope they can turn it around.

Tonight when we dined in for buffet, we were expecting the traditional style. However, it had a different spin in these times of COVID-19. It may have been unconventional, but it was awesome in this unique approach! It was all-you-can-eat served fresh and hot to the table. We were given buffet menu choices and each buffet item was brought to our table and we could eat family style. Our server was a delight! She was so sweet and helpful. The food was hot, fresh and SO delicious! The price was right, too! Excellent dining experience. Will go back!

Very good food. Not as much to choose from as some buffets, but that sweet lady makes up for it. She is so sweet and kind. She is the owner and she is super sweet to everyone, not rude like most Chinese buffets

Outstanding customer relations! Very clean, family atmosphere, family oriented, always fresh food, very fast service from time you walk in to the time you walk out! Takes the time to get to know their customers while treating them like family AND remembering them!!! Can not express enough how extraordinary they are!

Everything i come here i wait about 20 minutes before anyone acknowledges im even in the restaurant with absolutely not one single person in sight. Its a dying restaurant for sure. Their lack of customer service and lack of cleanliness im surprised this place is still open.

Very dirty, they had their young kids running around barefoot, bathrooms & dining area was gross, I am a foody I will tell you their food quality is poor, you’re better off at Panda Express, so disappointed. Will not ever go here again even if you offered to pay for me. I’d rather eat mud… Healty inspector needs to take a trip there…

Dissapointed. Place wasnt ready with all buffet items when we got there at 11. Their young unrully child was throwing a tantrum and stucking his fingers in the food on the buffet. So gross! Air conditioning was broke. No music was playing. Food was only luke warm. One dish billed as coconut chicken wasnt. We tried to figure it out only to realize it was chicken fat in breading. However the egg rolls where the best ive ever had.We are not likely to return.

Tables were dirty, like they had not been wiped clean with rag. Bathrooms were dirty...toilet paper all over the floor. Lady was talking on her cell while delivering our food to the table. When she did talk to us it was her trying to push us to eat more. Most likely will not stop there again!!! The only thing this place had going for it is the food was good.

Some of the best food Ive ever had from an Asian buffet. The experience was a little different do to covid. Place was not very busy. They give you a full buffet menu with all the options and cook as much of anything you want and bring it fresh to your table. Service was extremely friendly. Would highly recommend giving this place a try.

Buffet now open, all you can eat. But you order just like you would get your own food but all of it is prepared on spot and brought to you. Menu is on a dry erase menu and you mark off all you want to eat, as many times you want to order at 1 buffet price.Food was excellent as always

This wonderful lady that owns this place is fabulous. From the 1st time to now. She has been wonderful to our group. We drive an HR just to eat there, we have brought different friends and shes great with everyone. The food is great and a nice variety. Cost is normal... Great if you see what she has to offer.

Review №41

Place was filthy, massive amounts of crumbs under every table. Bathrooms are nasty. Soy sauce lid was dirty. Food was edible but thats about all I can say about it. Like someone else said, the dishes were kinda weird versions of normal Chinese food. I seriously question the freshness. Wouldnt go near the seafood, sushi or the hibachi. Was also way overpriced considering everything else. Will never go there again.

An
Review №42

This restaurant just changed owners and had been redone. It was a much needed change. Food was hot, service was fast. You are able to build your own hibachi plate and have it comes while you wait. Sushi is better than most buffets. Tasted fresh and rolled recently, not from a box.

Review №45

We visited at 9 oclock on a Saturday night. I was concerned that the food would not be fresh. The food was good, the waitress pointed out some of the fresher stuff, and brought out fresh food just for us. The waitress was excellent. Friendly, observant, and speedy. She also cooked the hibachi and it was awesome. Definitely eat that part if you visit. The sushi was good. Not socks blown off good, but tasty and standard. The quality and taste of the food was better since the last time we went, before the remodel. The floors were still sticky, but they need to switch floor cleaners and that problem would be taken care of. Bathrooms were clean. It seems the air conditioning could be turned up to remove the moisture in the air and to make the restaurant cooler. I did have two issues though. There was family running around and they were a bit noisy, not too big of a problem. However, there was a man that brought clean plates out that was shirtless with his gut hanging over his shorts. That was NOT cool and put the only real bad taste in our mouth. Clean the floors up and put a shirt on that man and more stars would be warranted.

Food was average. Bit on the expensive side. But the service we received was good especially the owner she was very nice. They need to work on their cleanliness though.

Review №47

This place was nasty. We came to eat at 5pm the restaurant doesnt close till 9:30pm and they didnt even make any food. There was suppose to be seafood and there was not even enough for 7 adults and we still had to pay 13 per person. Also the plates where dirty and oily and the spoons were dirty. We didnt even get to eat much crabs when there were suppose to be crab and this was at 5 when the store closes at 930. The only thing good about this place was the water so if you want to pay 13 dollars for water then go for it. And when you eat out you expect to have food not go and eat air. 🤬

Review №48

I do not recommend anyone to go eat there, nasty things about it was the utensils, it still had stains on it as if they just rinsed it instead of washing it with soap. The floors were disgusting it was sticking, like everytime you walk your shoes get stuck, also if you pay attention to the ground you can see bugs walking almost everywhere.

Review №49

Disgusting. The best part of the meal was my fortune cookie. We went 5 pm on a Friday. Many items were nearly gone. The food wasnt even warm. The warmer temps need to be checked.Many tables needed to be cleaned but the young man that was supposed to do this was playing a game online. The place wasnt clean at all. I wouldnt even have given this a 1. A food inspector needs to show up there.

Review №51

Food is a hit or miss. Mostly miss. Seriously though... they really need to clean. Im honestly surprised theyre not shut down by the health inspector. I lived in TN for a bit and their health grades are posted right on the building in plain sight for everyone to see. This place would have a 60 at best...

Review №52

Large variety of very well made food, including things Ive never seen in a restaurant before. Fried squids, fried stone crab, and dough balls with sesame seeds and some sweet black paste in the center. Staff was very friendly. The only issue was that the bathrooms were noticeably dirty when I went here.

Review №53

Since the remodel they have upped their game on everything. No more left overs, which made me question going there in the past. They Always refill drinks before I ask. Food is fresher than years ago and the place is clean.Friendly wait staff are always on top of making sure you have good service.

Review №56

Soup was good, ice cream was good but a potential food safety hazard (self scoop out of freezer). Went to get veggies, and fruit flies all over. Lots of specialty sea food like stone crab, octopus, etc. So if you like those types of food, this is the place for you!! I personally dislike sea food, so not a good pick for me. Would have given half a star more, but the price was more than we were expecting- $40 for 2 adults and a kid.

Review №57

My wife and I have been coming here for many years. This will be our last time ever!!!We were disgusted by the condition of the restaurant. Floors, tables, condiment jars, and buffet counters were filthy!!! My shoes stuck to the floor!!!!The food was barely edible, and for service, there were two young boys running around who didnt have a clue..On top of that, the prices were increased significantly since OUR last visit a few months back..My advise: DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

This evening my son and his lovely wife took my lovely wife and I out for a birthday dinner. We were going to go to the China Wok, but as luck would have it, the Wok was closed. So we ended up going to the Hibachi Buffet on HWY 10. All I can say is that it was the best thing! The food was incredibly good, abundant, and well laid out. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly, as you would expect. They have a sushi bar/table with at least 10 or more different types of sushi and each of the ones I had was delicious. Their Hibachi section was like a miniature Hoo Hot, but tasted better. Numerous selections and sauces made for a great taste. They also had four types of soup, egg drop was one (my favorite), chicken skewers, sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, a couple other types as well as BBQ wings and fried chicken. There was Crab Rangoon, fried Won Tons, egg rolls, fried and steamed dumplings, steamed clams, crab legs, steamed whole shrimp, fried shrimp and Im not even half way done listing everything so do you get the idea? The cost was surprisingly low too. Imagine all you can eat, including what I didnt list, with drinks (free refills) for about $9.00 each. Before I forget, the dessert bar had assorted melons, apricots, pear slices, mandarin oranges, cream puffs, ice cream, and other stuff. This place is a must try for yourself. Only problem is that you may over do it, its that good. I rate it a 12 out of a possible 10.

Never once have I had the experience of seeing a small child running around the restaurant with no clothes on at all. Turned out to be one of the employees children, which they took to a back table and began changing the childs diaper. Im view of everyone. Almost all the food was empty/cold. I wonder why they have a sign that says please pay first... Im not normally one to write reviews. But this warranted it.

Review №69

I have a body system where I get sick off of practically everything I eat, however, Ive never had a problem with this restaurant. Whether dining in or getting takeout, it is always enjoyable. Food is hot and tastes delicious. They have run out or been low on food but usually its because its busy or close to the end of the night. They have made me fresh noodles close to closing time though which is a great example of their happy and friendly service. Asain cuisine is not for everyone and neither is buffets, so keep that in mind going in that this is just my opinion. I do recommend though! And if youre nervous, go during lunch, its cheaper.

The food was awful. The noodles and rice were hard and dry. When we told them they just blew us off. They charged 50 for two adults and 1 four year old. When we told them again that the food was bad she shooed us out and told us to leave. Some of the plates were dirty. Their dishwasher side not do a good job.

Review №71

When i went in and say that it was only about $9 for the buffet per person, i got pretty sceptical avout the quality of the food. To my suprise, it had some of rhe best food i had eaten at an asian buffet in quite a while! They even had sushi if that is what you like. And even better, they had a place where you were able to scoop your own bowls of icecream from multiple different flavors. If you are in the area and in the mood for a buffet or asian food, i would highly recomended this place.

Review №72

Not really sure what I was expecting. I was searching for a particular taste and I so much wanted to like this place. It was mostly clean, the greeter (I only saw one employee) was pleasant and bused the tables when needed.The food? Cant figure out what flavor all of the dishes had. Not a good one. Sort of bland with a musty, basementy taste. I sampled a little of everything an most of it was just ... wrong. Like someone handed the cook pictures of Asian food and they based the flavor only on what they saw in the photo? Eating here made me sad... :(

Its not all that great and charged almost $28 for Sunday lunch outrageous for not that great of a quality food. I recommend China Wok or even Chef Chus which is becoming a least favorite as well.

Review №74

Terrible place. I will never go to this place again. When we entered, the floors were so sticky, it was disgusting. The waiter had flip flops on. Our granddaughter had hair in her boiled eggs. There was dirt all over the floor and the tables were not washed. We had to wash off the high chair with our own baby wipes. When I went to have the ice cream, the ice cream spoon had mold on it. I asked for another one, and the waitress just rinsed it off and told me to use my own spoon. Needless to say I did not have ice cream. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. This place needs to be inspected. It would never pass.

Review №81

Okay. I went 18July17 ignored all the other posts because people complain for anything now days. But seriously. Worst buffet food preparation ever. The service was fine. The pre-cooked food was good. But anything that took a cook knowing what to do was ruined. The sushi was not sushi, was sushi rice on seaweed with random stuff from around the kitchen thrown in. The shrimp still had their insides and were filled with poo. Pay and Tip before you eat. So please head my warning. Do not go. Go anywhere else.

Review №82

The absolute worse food Ive ever had. They ran out of rice and were closing 3 hours ahead of normal closing time. The staff are beyond lazy and unmotivated to work. Very difficult to enjoy a meal because nothing is fresh or tasty. Everything in the sushi bar was drenched in mayonnaise. Literally half the dishes were soggy and unappetizing. They close at 10:00pm but stopped making food at around 6:00pm. Worse dinner experience ever. 10/10 would not reccomend.

Place was disgusting. Bathrooms were unacceptable and unclean. With no soap or paper towels. Watch an employee use the bathroom and they couldnt wash their hands, but continued to wait us.

Review №86

Went at 5:30 on Friday night. All the food had been sitting in the hot pans for a long time sushi was really picked over, very little to choose from, some of the rolls were dried out. Many of the hot pans were empty and no effort was made to put out fresh food while we were there. The spoon for the rice steamer was green like algae. The staff made no effort to get off their phones. We have eaten here several times in the past, bit will not return after tonight. Tried to speak with the host/ server about our concerns, but he only shrugged. I really dont think he cares what the customers think.

We always stop here when in Stevens Point.For the price it cant be beat. $8.49 for lunch, includes drink, sushi and fresh hibachi cooked and seasoned to order.You pick out a plate of raw ingredients (beef, chicken, noodles, egg, sprouts, chestnuts, etc) and hand them to the Hibachi chef, he cooks it right there and uses the flavor (teriyaki, etc) that you requested.They have three rows of buffet, always hot. Typical chinese buffet food, lots of chicken and pork dishes, some shrimp, egg rolls, dim sum, etc.A full dessert buffet as well, basic stuff AND scoop your own ice cream in the freezer.My favorite aside from hibachi is the sushi. Hand made, in a large iced buffet by the hibachi area. Its always great. No, its not super expensive sushi of course, no tuna or salmon, its basic veggie sushi and imitation crab meat (this is good, you have zero risk if getting sick). But it tastes great, they have about 8 different styles and I love it.If you are expecting high line expensive cuisine and top level service what are you doing at an 8 buck buffet? For the price its awesome and well keep going back.The workers are always nice, the food is good and the tables and plates are clean.

Review №94

DISGUSTING, UNPROFESSIONAL, DINGY. I dont even know where to start. My son wanted to go here so my husband and I agreed. We walked in the door and a child rang us up, while yelling to someone in the kitchen. An adult came out to finish the transaction and seat us. We got our food. I took a little bit of 5 or 6 entrees. And everything tasted TERRIBLE. Most food was too greasy and no good flavor on anything. The dumplings were dried out. I found a nice, long, straight, black hair in my food. I can actually forgive that more than anything else. I considered leaving then, but what a waste of $31. The meal did not improve much. I can say I liked the marinated cucumbers and the crab rangoon was good. The waitress was polite and responsive BUT she was wearing hot pink sweat pants and flip flops that she dragged her feet in because they were huge on her.I have rarely been so disappointed by a restaurant. The disgusting food and the lack of professionalism have ensured that my family will never eat here again. We have several good Asian restaurants, and a few amazing ones. Skip the Hibachi Buffet!
