I really loved this place until today! I didn’t make a scene but while I was eating with my hubby the nastiest, brown roach came trucking his little feet down the chair beside me. I have weave and I was about to leave it there...along with the food on the table. Weave and leave. Y’all got to do betta! And the fact that the server was so nonchalant about it tells me this ain’t the first time Mr. C Roach came out to play! No sir, won’t get the kid today! Ain’t paying for nuttin.More

I visited this place prior to the Pandemic and it was OK, but not that great. This was my first visit since they reopened. I did the stir fry and couldn't eat it any after putting soy sauce on it several times. Beef in stir...fry was so tough I couldn't chew it. Visited the buffet and the only item on it that I was edible was the egg rolls. Two of the buffet islands were closed. I live in Raleigh and don't intend frequent this again. Meal for two was $25 including tea.More

This place is the nastiest restaurant ever. I know I am not going anymore in my life. I received a pho noodle soup and I saw a big cockroach on top of the soup. I took several pictures, showing the bowl to the manager. The...manager did never apologize rather he said there was no problem at all. I told him that I would report this to the food safety organization. I don’t recommend you to go the place, unless you like cockroaches in your soup.More

Have been to this buffet about 5 times. It is a HUGE buffet with lots of dishes. Some of it is very good and some of it is mediocre. The warmed/hot dishes are often tired. A bit tasty, but generally ok to average. The best...part is the sushi. MANY different sushi rolls available and quite good. The desserts are mediocre. In all, you get a LOT of food at a very reasonable price. I would appreciate a little bit fewer selections, but higher quality. Note that the price varies by day...weekend evenings most expensive.More

This place is so good that it is hard to describe. All the food is made fresh. When you get back to your table the food is still too hot to eat. They are always filling the buffet. The sushi is made continually and the...variety is amazing. The soups are great, at least 7 different kinds. They have hibachi section. Dessert, salad, on and on. All kinds of seafood, amazing. Squid, salmon, mussels etc. I have never had a problem with service. But I go for the food which is a tremendous value.More

I have been going to this particular Hibachi Buffet since they opened with my kids to celebrate special events or half days at school. My last visit was 11/12/18. The staff was happy to wait on you and the tables were cleaned often. Presentation, variety,...quantity and quality of the offerings offered a great value and well deserving of a 5 rating. A 100 grade (or pretty close to it) NC DEPT of health rating every time we went in (something my bride taught me to look for just above the cash register). Lately it has been consistently in the low 90s and achieved the "basement" grade of 90 as of last night. Over the past two years the quality of the service has plummeted, staff are running constantly and leave plates on tables long after you have returned from searching out new options and the table was never wiped off while we were there in spite of a few spills from us or the waitress when she spilled picking up the bowls from the table. The floors are streaked with food in the areas around the kitchen door, sushi bar, Mongolian wok. The hallway back to the bathrooms present a maze of slippery grease and food mess. Bathrooms are not cared for and in desperately in need of upkeep, often lacking in toilet paper for the ladies and paper towels in both. The bathrooms also stank of stale urine. The quality of the food has dropped in the last couple of visits, most fried things are soggy and taste like something other than what they are suppose to be. Other things are just tasteless compared to how much pride they use to take in presentation and quality. This use to serve some of the best sushi in Raleigh. Amazing as it may sound, the effort by the sushi chefs to make things that were special and super fresh was a welcome change and very reasonably priced considering the quality. Not so much lately. Sushi is bland and has pushed from more of the super fresh basic to the fried roll type over seasoned with the sauce. Use to be my favorite Chinese place - well worth the drive across town to enjoy, now it is nothing more than a golden corral mushy mess style of buffet food... Far cry from what it use to be and confirmed with the NC Board of Health cleanliness rating. I have to update my rating to a 2.More

The buffet offers a large variety of food and everything we ate was delicious. We had a very polite and friendly server. The foyer was full of people waiting but we got a table in 20 minutes which was less than the time they estimated....We'll go back to try things we couldn't fit in today.More

My standards are pretty low when it comes to chineese food - I’m a sucker for the stuff you get at he mall! However, this place needs a major overhaul. The tables, chairs and walls are all sticky. The carpeted floors look like they haven’t...been cleaned in years. The food is honestly bearly edible and very bland! Sushi was dry and fishy, noodles were greasy. Best thing about this place is the ice cream. I’m not kidding! To top it off we all got sick afterwards. Just don’t bother going here. I won’t be back.More

My son and I visited this Buffet as he had been here before. They had plenty of options for sushi and lots of other items. The price is reasonable for a good selection. My son loves buffets and he definitely ate his money's worth. I'm...not normally a buffet person but this place was nice. They were very diligent in keeping the buffet full of fresh food.More

I went to this restaurant years ago and it was good. Service was good and the staff was friendly. The food was great. Well I had a taste for this type of food and because it was close to my job I decided to go...after work. Well, Honey let me tell you. Will NOT be going back for nothing. The welcoming when you walk in was non-existent. I said one please the person taking me to my seat didn't say anything except you want a drink. I said water. I sit down. waitress comes brings my forks didn't acknowledge me they sit me way in the back. This is why I read reviews as I did before I went but I hadn't been so I gave it a try after so many years. Everything that was said bad was true. Food was ok and the bathroom was horrible. I am glad I waited to go after I had eaten. When I went in the bathroom I walked right out filthy. When I left I did leave a tip as I had read how they hound you for that when you are leaving so I handed it to her in her hand. When you leave no thank you or nothing. It needs to be shut down. This must be new management. Awful!.More
