My honey and I wanted to Chinese romantic getaway while on vacation we did see the reviews but decided to give it a shot the food was not even warm and I found two or three short curly hair which caused us to say forget it. We even would have payed but they cut the bill for us. Never again. It really was a shame. The food looked great but had little flavor. I do not take reviews lightly but if your looking to eat quality Chinese ask to look at the buffet and ask how fresh the food is.

I give his -5 stars….Went in this evening for the buffet, we’ve eaten here before, but tonight it was terrible! The food was old, rice was hard, shrimp was tough, etc. My Fiancee tried 2 different plates of food, I could only try one, none of it was worth eating. I tried to tell the waiter who checked on us and told him they needed to refresh the food. When we had tried the different items we selected to eat, and had expressed the need for fresher food, we waited a couple of minutes to see if anything fresh was brought out. Not seeing anything, we got up and went to the register, where I expressed to the woman there our dissatisfaction. My Fiancee was very upset (he works in the food industry himself), and all she did was smile and say that we owed $24.54. No apology, nothing, just that we owed for food we couldn’t eat, and drinks we didn’t drink. I will be adding this to Trip Advisor, Google, and any other site for ratings. Very disappointed tonight. I hope the Owner and Managers see this. Know that we will not be returning to the establishment EVER after the lack of concern the staff showed. Also, I called and tried to speak to a Manager or Owner and was hung up on.

It was about dinner time and every time I’ve passed it’s been pretty empty so I haven’t gone in. BUT I’ve been really craving Chinese food. So I decided to stop even though there was no one else in the parking lot. The food was old. Not many options at all. The people are not friendly and there is two options for beer, if that matters to anyone else. Not happy at all.

The decor is nice especially the Chinese calendar covering the hole in the men’s restroom. But other than that the restaurant sucks. It says hibachi and Sushi. There was no hibachi and the sushi was very Bland and there was only one kind made with imitation crab. With the exception of the bourbon chicken most of the food was subpar. Heads up for all you locals, there is no local discount very disappointing. When I asked about the discount I was told lunch is only $6.99. that should have been a clue to turn around and leave.

We had take out chicken and shrimp fried rice… average taste. Egg roll was good. Over $20 so more expensive than the all you can eat buffet. Off my bucket list for good

Good place! Employees are nice but barely understood what I was saying, the sesame chicken tasted like I was chewing on a box. Bathroom smelled extremely bad! I got a black, stale fortune cookie, gross! Overall the food just made me sick. Do not recommend this place!

While in the area on Vacation I decided I wanted Chinese food and went to this China 1 it looked wonderful, clean and had a pleasant atmosphere until the hostess came to seat me and my service dog. The poor hostess was confused about the Service dog (She did not understand enough English for me to explain) and was trying to figure out where to put us (There were very few customers). Then someone came from the back dressed like a cook and demanded I leave and that dogs were not allowed. I tried for 10 min to explain he was a Service dog and we had every right to be there to no avail (he would not listen just kept repeating no dogs you go) so finally we left. While sitting in the parking lot trying to calm down two a family that arrived just before me walked out and informed me they saw what happened and left because of it.

Off-season, but still disappointing. The chicken felt and tasted as if it had been on the buffet for hours. The fried shrimp was not de-veined and looked like it had just eaten. The chicken may have been cat, actually. I heard meowing from the kitchen. Kidding about the cat part. Why can’t we leave zero stars? Just don’t eat here, you didn’t come to the mountains for Chinese food anyway.
