    Like any other buffet, go for the stuff that's replaced often. They have tasty food but the stuff that sits more than 30 mins without getting touched is most likely the grossest option. The hibachi grill is not bad, but the line gets ridiculous. If its empty, go for it. The deserts aren't bad and they usually add a new one to the list every year for variety. If your dead set on sushi, you have 2 options. 1. Wait for a fresh roll; the ones on display have most likely been out for at least an hour. 2. Go to an actual sushi buffet. The serving staff are genuinely nice. Most of them have no problems refilling drinks and keeping your table clean while managing multiple tables. So far not a single server was rude to me. They also keep the dining areas clean for customers at all times. In between refills and plate pickups you will definitely see your servers sweeping constantly and organizing tables for more guests even if they aren't serving those tables. I actually admire the staff's teamwork.

    Tappanyaki is only *okay* in my opinion. In terms of other Asian buffets in the area, I consider this one to be marginal as far as buffets go. The delectable lusciousness in terms of the various dishes offered just isn't there. You'll find some American food on the buffet, yes - but the other options just aren't worthy of raving about. The tables and chairs tend to need better cleaning. The service isn't always the best. The condiments seriously need upgrading. Hot mustard in packets? Hot sauce in packets? Definitely not what you would expect. But that's what you get. Go if you are hungry and want a buffet. It will fill the tummy. If you are more interested in a buffet with tons of succulent food and a far better atmosphere, go elsewhere. You'll be glad you did.

    Just left for dinner. Only $10.99 which is a great price point. Drinks are a little pricey. Buffet looked cleaned and the food came out timely. The saucy chicken dishes were rather sweet (i.e. honey chicken, sesame chicken). I enjoyed the sushi. Overall it's a decent buffet on a budget. You get a lot for your buck!

    I got there early and the food was fresh and amazing. My ONLY criticism is that you place your drink order when you first arrive. And then it's brought to your table later. Which took quite a long time. Wish I could just get my own drink, because we were halfway done eating before we go them. Then again everything else was so good that I think maybe it was just a one-time fluke. Don't know. But the food is great.
