Everything on the buffet was cold and was completely inedible. Everything was like it had been sitting on the bar all day. The hot and sour soup tasted moldy. Worst place I've ever seen.

They get one star since it was a buffet, so we can't claim false advertisement there, but even buffet is stretching it by all standards. It is definitely an all you can eat buffet, but that being said, not much is edible for human consumption. The crab Rangoon had been left sitting for so long, the cream cheese inside had gone rancid and had a taste reminiscent of vomit. Things that were meant to be kept cold were lukewarm, the sushi being a prime example. Things that were meant to be hot ranged from lukewarm to cold. I don't even want to discuss why there are warm Cheeto puffs on the buffet. Not sure when those became classified as an Asian inspired cuisine. Also still unsure why they were serving Italian beef. While we are on the subject of Italian food, this is the first time I have ever seen spaghetti noodles used as lo mein. Not sure what their beef and broccoli is made of. There's definitely broccoli there, but if the "beef" is even actual beef it is probably reconstituted teriyaki beef jerky, seeing how it took forever to chew it up. I eventually gave up and spit it out. As far as service goes, we all got seated and our initial drinks, but not much else. Somewhere in between our attempts to find something edible, we believe a little ninja may have showed up and refilled one of our six drinks at the same time the bill was dropped off. Never saw them again until we paid the bill. Don't waste your money or your time. If we don't get food poisoning, we will be amazed.

I probably came late for lunch as it was 5pm but clearly it must have been amazing at that time. Staff was friendly as I entered and left and although no drink refill was offered, I assumed they were a family of ninja due to my plate disappearing when I went to get pudding. Oh by the way the pudding was good so I give them another half star!

PLEASE, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE I DID AND I WILL NEVER GO BACK! THE FOOD WASNT WORTH THE PRICE!

Food was old and stale and once it was gone they wouldn't replace it and dishes where dirty. Just sat there and played on their phones. Don't waste you're time and money on this place.
