This is one of our favorite places to eat. They have great crab, sushi, and pizza.

Last night marked the first time my parents and I ever ate here for supper; normally, we prefer a heavier midday meal and lighter evening fare. But we were extra hungry after long workouts and yardwork, so we went.At nearly 6pm the place was busy but not crowded. The buffet was as clean and well-stocked as I remembered from previous visits to Houston, and service was prompt & friendly.As always before, I gorged on a great deal of the no-frills, sliced salmon sashimi and the seaweed salad---those things are soooo $$$ on LI and in the NYC area. And their texture and flavor were so fresh, not fishy at all. I also piled on crisp-not-stringy string beans, mushrooms & onions, two kinds of perfectly cooked shrimp (one with delicious strips of grilled jajapeno), and more mixed vegetables. I tried the teriyaki steak but wasn't impressed. Too sweet.Though we usually avoid Americanized asian buffet fare, I couldn't resist an ample sample of the ENORMOUS barbecue chicken wings---and I wasn't disappointed. They were juicy, fall-apart tender, and not fatty or oily. Neither was Mom disappointed with her home fries or Dad with his fried fish.We also noticed crawfish and crabs, but were too hungry and impatient to sit and wrangle with those. As for dessert, I did not want anything sweet. But my parents went for fruit and swore that the orange slices were uber delicious.

My third visit in about as many months and the wet rag or putrid carpet smell that has bothered me in whiffs last trips KNOCKED ME OVER when I entered during last evening's visit. Ugh. If I wasn't whipped into a buffet frenzy at that point of 8PM on a Friday, I would've walked out. There's your warning up front, sensitive eaters: it was really dank in there. Of course, really sensitive eaters would probably not venture into buffets anyway.The food is usually fairly hot and moves quickly due to so many greedy patrons, during both my weekend lunch and dinner visits. I really limit myself to the beef strips (good but chewy), Gen Tso/whatever breaded spicy chicken they have (always standardly good), fried fish (typically good), and some tame options. I dislike all the shrimp dishes including the spicy shell on shrimp, the shrimp and veggies and WHERE IS THE FRIED SHRIMP????? I will eat my fee's worth of fried shrimp in panko crumbs at the mediocre Armani Buffet, so why no fried shrimp here? My boyfriend likes the fried crab (too much work and greasy looking), spicy chicken (too hot), crab rangoon and fried squid. The eggrolls are bleh, like the cheap ones with mystery meat from the cafeteria. The way the pizza is devoured three pieces at a time by gluttons shows it's either good or those people dislike Chinese food. I don't touch the sushi (why tempt fate) or the desserts, which every grungy kid in the place has touched. I saw the manager pick up food that had probably fallen off a plate and deposited it back in the fried chicken tray, which was ick but hey, buffets are icky places. There are chicken fingers (pretty good, hand battered), tasty bbq chicken wings and drums, and fried chicken and a pork dish among other Americanized offering, meaning no chicken paw or jellyfish for me to freak out on. Not a big selection of fresh fruit but that's out of season anyway.Worth a trip if WET CROTCHY CARPET ROT GYM SMELL doesn't put off your appetite. Lots of loud people and gross kids. Duh.

It was OK. the sea wee salad was blah no taste and the deep fry squid was mushy. I did like the Mushrooms and egg soup. and not really wheel chair access to many objects to close and the doors are not wide enough to get my husband in and the 2 doors to close together to open for the wheel chair.

i really like the place, however the last week was just ok on the hot bar. the sushi is always great. for the owners, please pay attention to your chip plates.

This place was packed but it has a huge selection. I am not a buffet person but the food was some what fresh. The sushi was ok. Would go back if I was in the area.
