This was the only buffet still open that we were able to find in Merced after driving out of Yosemite National Park via the 140. We read the mixed reviews that came from 4-8 years ago so we came with fingers crossed. We came as a party of 17 and we were able to call ahead and request a table. They were not busy when we were there on a Sunday night around 7pm. Our party also had mixed views on the food but everyone agreed that it was nice to have at least a few options to see what they could possibly like. I think most of the food tastes pretty much like other Chinese buffets. But there isn't as many choices as other buffets we're used to. Foods I Liked or Found Okay -Menudo - It reminded us of a Filipino dish called "balbacua". -Orange Chicken -Coconut Shrimp -Fried Fish with Tartar Sauce -Fried Shrimp -Salt & Pepper Fried Squid -Baby Octopus Dish -Chicken Broccoli -Green Beans -Fried Rice -Chow Mein -Salt and Pepper Crabs and Shrimp -Hot & Sour Soup -Wonton Soup We didn't come across any hygiene issues during our visit.

It is not worth the price for the variety of food they offer. Some of the food was cold & didn't really have much, it's a small buffet. They don't have much of a variety or fruits or deserts. I wouldn't go there again, didn't like the food. I do not recommend it, rather go to panda express. Quick note, it was a Monday also.

If able to no stars I let my waitress know and manager came by and she started telling me that I was eating it wrong informed I have eaten it several times before and said well I don't eat that part just the middle very rude unprofessional did not pay my plate since I didn't even eat have eaten several times before very disappointed!

If I could give this place zero stars I would I used to come here with my husband as a regular date night place the entire vibe here has changed and has been ruined the owner came and harassed my family in the parking lot because my husband is Mexican and the owner seems to judge people who are of different races than he is. The owner was aggressive and belligerent for no reason at all we came to spend money to feed our family and didn't even get past the past the parking lot. Then I come read reviews to see that it's probably good we didn't go in because they also serve cold food that has been out too long. This type of behavior is unacceptable and honestly very sad I would not come eat here if you want a good experience with acceptable food.

Most of the food was served cold, very cold. I spent $20 only to have my night ruined. On certain nights, they’ll actually put effort into serving hot food, but consistency clearly isn’t a priority. Unless it’s a busy weekend when they’re motivated to provide decent service, I wouldn’t recommend coming here, might run risk of even getting sick. disappointed.

DONT EVER COME HERE. I SEE FLYS ALL OVER THE FOOD. THE OWNER HAS A VERY BAD ATTITUDE.SHE TOLD US TO LEAVE JUST BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING AROUND. THE WAITERS PICKED UP PLATES AND REFILLED YOUR DRINK WITH THERE DIRTY DRINKS. THE OWNER IS THE WORST AND HER FOOD IS THE WORST, TASTE LIKE DISH WATER. ALSO SOMEONE DROPPED FOOD ON THE BENCH AND OWNER PUT IT BACK ON THE DISH. VERY NASTY VERY UGLY DONT COME. I AM GOING TO CALL FOOD INSPECTOR

Thought this was a nice place at first. Lots of options, but then the last visit, there was a cockroach running over the desserts, and a worker came out, grabbed it and went back into the back. I immediately got my money back and will never return.

I've been to a TON of buffett places and were mostly great. Came to town for work and craved buffett. Got there a little after 8pm, and there were only 3 of us customers in there. Place seems to be at its end with no maintenance and has hygene issues. Food was bad and old. Not to mention, the (left over) rock-hard sushi looked like they were there since last week. Place is dark, no ambiance music, just loud staffers talking. I went up for a desert plate, and the table service guy already wet-wiped my table and took my soda. Place closes at 9pm, but they were already mopping floors and taking food away at 830p. This is sadly the worst buffett I have ever been to and will never go back. Don't believe me? Go see for yourself.

I'm not sure if I just have high expectations or high standards. I called ahead to see what time this place closed and what the last time they were allowing people in to dine in. I was told that they will allow people to come in up til 8:30 pm to dine in because they were closing at 9 pm. We showed up at 8 pm and 10 min in, and they started cleaning up and putting all the foods away without any notification. We had to rush over to grab whatever we could before everything was put away, and we were inside for no more than 10 min. This makes the dining experience more hectic because we have to rush to get food and try to enjoy what we have gotten in front of us. The kids also mentioned something dripping from the ceiling as well. For us, this will be the first and last time dining here. I didn't give any stars to the service because no one approached us to see if we needed anything else, i.e., water, napkins, or time to collect any other food items. Food was less than optimum. My guess would be that its been there for hours without being changed out because it seem like they had a slow day. Atmosphere was a little dim and smelled like damp carpet for food spill over time and not sure when they last clean up.

I honestly haven’t been to this place in a while and I don’t remember the food being as gross as it was. I used to love this place maybe like 8-9 years ago. Honestly don’t waste your time here during the week at least. The only reason I gave service a good review was due to the management being understanding of our situation. We only there for 14 minutes and you pay at the door before you eat. Over all I won’t come back here till I see better reviews.

Place was filthy. Our table was not clean, floor was full of crumbs. Plates were either still wet or had food residue. Overpriced. Food was not good at all. Never refilled the drinks we paid for. Horrible service.
