The ladies that attend to us are very sweet. They work very hard cleaning and preparing for the next customers. Delicious food. Reasonably priced buffet. We have found this restaurant to be cleaner with a broader variety of freshly prepared dishes than the Asian buffet restaurants in Foley. Congratulations.

This place was delicious! If only every chinese buffet made sure the fresh walnut shrimp was stocked! My family frequently goes there cause they live in Alabama/Mississippi. I live in Michigan so I'm not there regularly. But my bonus mom says that's her favorite Asian buffet.

The dining area is spacious and comfortable, the food is consistently fresh, and service is attentive for a buffet-style restaurant. It’s a great spot for families, groups, or anyone looking for a relaxed meal with plenty of options.

Having been to every other Chinese buffet around here, this one was surprising. The staff were genuinely nice and attentive. Despite not being busy, all the food was fresh. And while they had less to choose from, compared to other places, it all seemed of higher quality. Another plus would be the cleanliness. It didn't have the "I don't know if I want to touch that" atmosphere most other buffets have. Definitely going to be my go-to place whenever I'm in the mood for a buffet.

The food was delicious, I really liked the sweet and sour chicken, the cabbage and shrimp was also excellent. Everything was so clean and full. I love a buffet that keeps the food offerings hot and full. Today was seafood heavy. My mom is a vegetarian and there was Plenty to choose from.

Honestly the reviews are pretty harsh! They had so many options and everything was hot. Obviously some things aren’t the best but that’s why there’s other things. There’s bad food at most restaurants. But it was $14.25 for dinner. Pepsi is only $2.15. Such a good price for the quality of food. I’ve yet to have amazing Chinese food down here. But definitely will be back. ALSO EVERYTHING WAS SO CLEAN!!

This is a good place to eat if you want a variety of Chinese food. I do not recommend any of the beef dishes they all have a weird taste. The egg drop soup was super delicious. The service is good, they pick up the dirty dishes very quick. They keep your drink refills flowing. The restaurant was clean. Nice place to stop in the area for buffet.
