Very clean and presentable establishment. I had tasted a large variety of the selections in small potions to get the most well round opinion I could. The food across the board was very tasteful and well presented. My favorite was probably the warm buttered imitation crab with cheese as I hadn’t had it before. Their egg drop soup is pretty unpleasant. The front of house staff was a little awkward and uncomfortable. There was a lady that monitored the line and tables which I noticed kept watching me specifically even though there were many other guests seated. I can’t say why I specially was the center of attention. She ended up trying to talk to me but between her accent and English being a second language I still now after leaving am not sure what it was she had wanted. The lady working the register was very polite. Other than the awkward employee that kept watching me it was a great experience.

It’s a great restaurant to get lunch on a limited time schedule. The food was fresh and tasted amazing. Sometimes buffet food is stale, but not here. The variety was also really good. The personnel are very attentive to your [empty] drinks and plates and ensure the tables are always kept clean and in order.

Food is decent. I noticed the servers were not very cordial and as we were leaving, there was a gentleman who said he is a regular at the establishment, and nobody even acknowledged him, spoke to him or even said have a nice day. Nothing. It hurt me that this man spent his money, supported this place regularly, and nobody who worked there could even be kind. Regardless of the color or culture, a little kindness goes a long way. That meal didn’t last very long, but the experience certainly did.

Yummy food, was starting to run low though. And I love the chandelier. Sweet staff. With covid you have to wear a glove when getting food and you get a plastic fork, I wish they at east had a plastic knife to cut food into smaller pieces.

The food was room tempature at best. The drink servers were great. The restuarant appeared clean, but there were flies. Needless to say, we left.

I may have my expectations too high. After paying $18 per person, I expected more than a plastic fork and room temperature food. If you catch the food as it comes out of the kitchen, it is pretty good.

The ice cream machine was out of order. Other than that all was fine
