Delicious...
Working at a recycling center, it's mandatory that I sterilize my hands/wrists/& lower arms often. Especially before eating. So, here at this restaurant, after choosing which buffet items to be included with my meal, I pay the total amount due, then I request the key for the restroom. They hold on to my meal while I go scrub up. Afterwards, when I've completed my meal, I request the key to the restroom once again to wash up before heading back to work .

The reviews on this must be fake. I say it was worth about 3-4 dollars if that. This is one of those I will not go back places.

This place is DISGUSTING. I went to eat here after class, and while I was eating at the table, I saw the woman who had attended me go to the trash can, dig out one of the plastic containers someone had used and thrown away, then shake off the residue and take it back with her. Disgusting. Food is dirt cheap for a reason…
Let's start with the harassment I got about trying to go to the restroom to wash my hands before I went to order food. Restroom customer only! Yes I figured as much but I'd like to wash my hands and then order my food. Then comes the food. The menu says rice/1entree 3.75 I want to order that. However the rice has meat in it. I say, do the noodles have meat? No, ok I want the noodles, how about the vegetables? She points to the egg roll. That's all you have with no meat? I said just give me the noodles then no entree. She then proceeds to charge me $4.00. Someone tell me how this math works out? Horrible!
Food not worth it. Save your money, time, and gas
No good in my first time and last one
