I really liked this buffet. They don’t offer as many choices as some other Asian buffets, but everything I tried was good! No sushi or Mongolian bbq, just basic Chinese fast food type foods. My favorite dish at Panda Express is Chicken and Mushroom and this place had a super delicious chicken and mushroom. The green beans were so yummy, nice and crisp. Their egg roll and spring roll was pretty good too. Service was great they took away plates pretty quickly and refilled drinks. They had canned sodas, but they didn’t charge very much for them. It wasn’t too busy but they customers constantly coming in and out. A lot of people got take out.

Even their desserts were good too, not a huge selection but they were all decent. They had those sugar coated donuts, roll cake, and almond cookies and some canned fruit.

I enjoyed my meal. It was a good deal considering how much eating out these days are now. I will definitely be back whenever I get a hankering for Chinese fast food.

We usually order take out from here and get a noodle dish. We absolutely love their drunken noodles so tasty! Their spice level is not always consistent on the drunken noodles. My husband loves spice and he always orders Thai Hot, but I feel like every other time he doesn't think it's hot. Today he didn't say Thai Hot and I think that maybe why today his wasn't spicy.

Today I felt like trying something different. I ordered the Thai BBQ chicken lunch plate. I am not well versed in Thai food so I don't know if this is typical for Thai BBQ chicken, but it almost seemed like they braised the chicken in regular BBQ sauce. It wasn't bad, but definitely not what I expected. The skin was soggy and the meat was almost overcooked. I was craving some char on my chicken with a little crisp skin marinaded with a lime marinade. I was really disappointed in this one. My dish did come with fried rice. It was very plain with some pineapples chunks on top, but oh so good and well seasoned! I feel like it must have had msg in it. I loved it!

The lunch menu comes with a small coconut soup and spring rolls. The soup is delicious and nice and tart. The spring rolls are a veggie spring roll so they are not my favorite, but a good veggie spring roll.

I've been dying to come here to try their dim sum. I finally remembered to come on the weekend with the family. I usually try out new places without my family during the week so it was hard for me to remember to come here when they have dim sum. This place was very busy on a Sunday afternoon.

Everything we ordered looked great when it came out, however, most of the dishes were cold. I guess it was suspicious how quickly all the dim sum dishes came out. Like the baked pork buns were room temperature cold. The only dishes that were warm were the ones on the steamers like shumai. Even the roast duck was cold. Luckily everything we ordered tasted good. And my favorite egg custard tarts hit the spot. They were also cold, but I'm just happy to have some.

The sesame balls were huge, but the filling was lacking. There was a similar but savory dish (I don't remember ordering) that had the smallest amount of filling, but it tasted good but it really left me feeling I needed more filling. They were both came out cold too. I would avoid these next time as well as the ribs.

We ordered a couple made to order dishes like fried rice and beef chow fun. I didn't have any fried rice but everyone seemed to like it. I always love chow fun which is a fat rice noodle dish. So I was happy to see this on the menu. The portion seemed very small for a Chinese restaurant which I always think of as family style eating. I almost want to award it as the smallest portions of any Chinese restaurant I've ever been to.

I really wanted to love this place, but the cold food and small portions made me hesitant for a 5 star. I still am so thankful there is a place for dim sum and chow fun in the area.
