We wound up stopping by here, as we drove from Southern Texas to Arizona. It was a good experience. Very reasonable for what you got. Not super fine dining but for the amount spent but was very surprised by the quality of food. Service could’ve been a little bit better but other than that it definitely worth the money spent.

Delicious Chinese buffet in El Paso, TX. All the food I tried was really fresh and tasty. They have a lot of various different types of foods and dishes. Everything was flavoured really well. Really nice atmosphere and a beautiful restaurant. Staff were really nice and helpful, and service was good. I came an hour before closing and was advised that they wouldn’t be making more food - but there was still plenty to select from and everything fresh. I didn’t see any sushi though. I went to a different location later in the week and it did not compare to the El Paso location.

The most famous Chinese buffet in El Paso. There are more than 100 dishes to choose from (all were very delicious.) The foods were constantly rotated and always fresh and hot. The staffs were very friendly and seated us very fast. The restaurant looked contemporary and clean. I would recommend orange chicken, coconut shrimp, ribs, wings, and beef and broccoli.

Place was really nice and had great food 😋 for $15 it was definitely worth it with steak and menudo. It was a great mix of Mexican and Chinese which was exactly what I was looking for. People were very nice and I really enjoyed it.

The coconut shrimp and egg drop soup here are the bomb. There are six different different buffet bars. The sushi bar and fresh veggies bar. The soup and some american favorites bar. Three typical Chinese cuisine bars with plenty of variety. Such as orange chicken, mushroom chicken, beef broccoli, coconut shrimp and many other yummmmyyy favorites. The dessert bar has fresh fruit, salad, fresh shrimp, sweet treats and ice cream. There are plenty of tables and booths. The restrooms are fresh and clean. The environment is welcoming, its a little dark for my taste. The servers are very nice and attentive at all times. The food is fresh, hot and its good tasting. Ive always had a pleasant experience dinning at this location on Yarbrough.

Not our fave all you can eat Chinese buffet in El Paso, but it’s certainly the prettiest. Gorgeous, upscale interior. Very clean. Must try = Brisket, ice cream (ALL the flavors!!) Very good = tilapia, pork ribs (S doesn’t like), egg roll, salt & pepper shrimp Good (but I don’t need it) = fried fish, butterfly fish, lo mein, sesame chicken, orange chicken (VERY orangey, in an unexpected but nice way) Skip = “custard” rolls, hot & sour (worst we’ve ever had). See photo for prices.

Happy overall. I got there about noon. They do have a military discount. Buffet was fully stocked even the sushi section. Server was friendly and attentive. I did notice the indoor temperature was a little warm, but could have been the meat sweats. I also noticed some older people with their sweaters on. I guess it was cool for them. I also noticed a couple of cracks in the floor, but that's probably only since others had it in their reviews previously. I will return.

Food is great, fresh, delicious, variety is great! But be aware that on the website the price is $16.49 and in the restaurant it's $17.99. When I mentioned the difference, they said "it's a website mistake".

MY FIRST TIME THERE AND I MUST SAY I WAS EXPECTING MORE OF A SELECTION OF FOOD FOR PRICE WE PAID.

It’s a nice place. I’m not sure how I got convinced to come here. Not really into Chinese food, but it was good. The wait staff were on the ball making sure my drink was full. The place was nice, but it was hot as if the AC wasn’t working well. Overall, it’s a decent place for Chinese food.

The food is delicious and l love the stakes there. And the evening a big selection of foods. The only thing is that you will never get other than Fountain drinks or tea after certain time in the evening. I don't think that that's right because I don't drink those things. And if I ask to have a drink with my meal; I got a shoes between those. The place is has beautiful decorations inside. Very clean.

There are no sushi and rolls neither with salmon, no with other fish. No seaweed. No raw mussels and shells. Everything is in one sweet sauce. Octopuses are like rubber.

Food wasn't great for almost 50 dollars for 2 people. The food was cold and not appetizing no refills were offered and no server in sight. I Will not return this was my second bad trip sophistication seems to be the new custom.

Soooo...I reviewed this place a few years ago with a positive experience. BUT I went the other night, on a Friday, and oh my goodness.There was almost nothing to choose from. The food looked old, whatever they did have. I remember there being so much to choose from. I don't know what happened?? And it just barely warm. We were sooo disappointed. I don't think we'll be coming back, or recommending this place. Sorry, Lin's.

We got here at 7:45 p.m., there food was ok, but the music was on full blast on mexican rock music. Hard rock. Then, to add insult to injury, the waitress starts mopping around us at 8:20 p.m. when she clearly sees that my husband is walking with a cane. This was one of my favorites, but for dinner time, a huge things down. And no tip for the waitress. Sorry,.....not sorry.👎👎👎👎👎

We use to go like 3-5 time in a year we went Monday to celebrate our birthdays@11am, the food was Sunday's left overs. The temperature was not high enough, for dangerous and when we talk with manager she said it wasn’t? But didn’t go check? Its was very disappointing because we really enjoyed the food selection in the past We are not interested in going back. Toward the end the waitress/ manager did attend us. Did not asked how they could have improved the service, they were glad we left.

NASTY. 17 dollars for shrimp with tail on, and legs. Impossible to eat and waste of money. Please go out of business. ordered Ubereats. NEVER again.

We came here on 7/25 and the inside seemed nice and clean. It took our waitress more than 10mins to get our drink order and the place wasn’t even busy. Other customers were actually getting up and asking the busboy for their drinks. The buffet seemed pretty well stocked which was nice. As we served ourselves and ate, I must say the food wasn’t great. The shrimp and fried fish were very mushy and the chicken entrees were extremely salty and seasoned bad. I served myself twice being that they brought out “fresh food” but it was just as bad. The almond cookies, which I’ve had at other Chinese restaurants are usually crispy. These seemed as if they were left out and stale. Overall, it was a bad experience and will not return. It def wasn’t worth the $42 for 2 people.

So we're here traveling through to go home for Christmas wanting some really good Chinese food that's convenient and close to our hotel. Wanted everyone to be aware all their steam trays and tables aren't working properly and they have a bunch of empty bins everywhere and things that look like they've been sitting there for hours and hours. They're selling shellfish and things that can make you really sick and not taking care of or keeping it the proper temperature. Empty tubs of ice cream. Just honestly one of the worst buffets I've ever seen that I should let everyone know so they can be aware not to stop here

Food: huge lack of amount, the sushi line was empty and when even refilled it was just tuna roll with a big chunk of cream cheese, the rolls themselves looked unpleasant to eat. The food available wasn't enough; most trays were empty and had food burned or dried up. Service: slow, waiter stand to the side on their phones, talking or eating. Leaves our table filled with plates and still doesn't take them, probably until we leave.
