Just went here today with my good pal Steven. The ambiance was great. What you'd expect from any other Chinese buffet. The food was hot and flavorful. My favorite item was the honey chicken. I didn't see any pot stickers and was disappointed about that but maybe I just overlooked them. The service was prompt. Steven used the bathroom for 30-40 minutes and said it was very clean. My only complaint is that it was a little pricy. I would eat here again. Sorry I didn't take any pictures. :)

This is hands down the best Chinese place I've ever had. The food here is amazing. I've tried over 10 menu items, all of them have been hits. I would choose best buffet over any other chinese restaurant. (Ps. Try their peanut butter chicken, my favorite item hands down.)

I have been here before, always get seated right away and drink order is taken at that time. Then just head to the buffet. First course could be salad, peel 'n eat shrimp, or one of the soups they have to choose from. They have more than a dozen things to choose from - General Tso chicken, stuffed or garlic mushrooms, the usual beef, pork and chicken choices. Dessert includes fruit, puddings, cookies, krispie treats, and ice cream, although this evening there was no ice cream and that has happened before. I think good food at a decent price - Sun adult buffet $11.99, drink $1.79.
