Was there recently and with hearing good reviews, looked forward to the food. What a huge disappointment.....basically, the choice of food and the location of the food wasn't ideal. There's a Chinese buffet a few miles from where I stay and it's 1 hundred times better.

If you like Chinese buffets,... More

Well you pay for what you get and that was as much as you could eat. We were with our brother in law and boy can he eat but it was to much for him. Only thing there was not a great choice of sweets. Waters were very quick and we arrive at a very busy time. But in all... More

Cheap buffet food. Nothing stunning, nothing dreadful. Don't expect amazing customer service or amazing food.
