    This place is my go-to for when I'm lazy/get the late night munchies (the buffet station usually has a 30% discount after 9pm).

    The buffet is my favorite thing ever.  For around $6, you can get various dim sum, marinated meat dishes, and yummy fried foods.

    I became a victim of having a open mind for not being judgmental of bad reviews.  An indoor fast food court for Hibachi, hand-pulled noodle or knife cut noodle, entrees served with white rice, bubble tea, poke and self-serve buffet options.  Excessively overpriced for fast Chinese food, bad food quality very mediocre, maleficence and egregiously vulgar customer service.  I choose hand-pulled noodles for lunch on a Tuesday during my professional travels.

    Roast duck hand-pulled noodle $10.95
    I actually paid $10.95 rather than the printed takeout menu price of $8.95.  Another price swap for maliciously flagrant business.  Price swap is mendacious flagrant.  Why should the takeout menu have the lower price when you are using more labor and time to hand deliver to a patron when I am a patron who is dinning-in your establishment? Why am I charged a higher price of $10.95?  Why do I need protection but the truth?  This entree quality is very mediocre heavily filled with MSG and high sodium content.  This business does NOT distribute sales receipt with the price and the amount the customer paid, but distribute a order number ticket stating your order description and order number exact concept when you are at a deli counter in a supermarket waiting your turn to place your order or the infamous DMV.  This is NOT a valid sales receipt noting the product price and what the customer paid.  Customers chaotic crowd around the cashier counter either waiting for order placement or order fulfillment.  This is duplicitous and unethical business practice.  Avoid this business like the bubonic plague.  Staff are very brusque and brazen when taking and receiving orders as this is fast food ergo do not expect eloquent, mellifluous and well mannered communication skills.  Seating is communal table style overcrowded during peak lunch hour and no facilities exist on site.  Near the cashier counter large callous signage states: "NO REFUNDS, CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED WITH A $5.00 MINIMUM PURCHASE" emitting stolid and callous.

    This is intolerable
    This is master of duplicitous
    This is malarkey

    I am NEVER EVER coming back to this place again. I stopped by here today, because I was curious what the place had. The food looked pretty cheap, so I decided to eat here, but boy was that a mistake!

    I must have missed the sign that said this was a buffet restaurant by the pound, because I was goddamn shocked when the lady weighed my two plates of food and it totaled to $23.50. My eyeballs could have popped out of their sockets for goodness sake. I should have fainted right then and there. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. But like damn, you can get the exact same food (a choice of rice or noodles, 3 to 4 sides, and a soup) in Chinatown for half the price ($4 to $6 depending on the store), with way more options.

    I noticed the sign after I sat down though. The buffet has 3 prices: $6.99 without seafood, $7.99 with a mix of seafood, and $9.99 all seafood. Still, never coming back. The options were rather limited and the food tasted pretty typical. Ended up spilling half of each tray out. Just couldn't down it.

    Great place to stop by for quick bites and just hang out. Self seating so no tips! They have a variety of hand pulled noodles, rolled ice cream, and poke bowls. Also have a buffet which is about $6.99 per lbs.

    Pretty good welcome and friendly service.

    I don't actually plan to go to this place but when I got in a staff said hi to me with a smile. I just ordered a cup of coffee but they also have food and bubbles tea but i have to go somewhere else so next time if I come around this area I will try their bubbles tea.
