I had a lunch take out order that was not bad so we tried the Sunday buffet. I will never do that again. Neither my wife or myself found the food appealing and the price was a bit much for the quality of the food. Both of us did not feel well after we ate and got home, Not sure if it was the food but we felt fine before we ate. The server seemed to be always watching us and maybe that was we were one of two couple eating there that late afternoon. My take out the day before was good but we will never do the buffet again.

Update: Because I enjoyed the food yesterday afternoon, my husband and I decided to order a late lunch for ourselves and our two kids. I quickly came to realize I had first timers luck with this restaurant. For under $ 20 there was a great amount of food but it doesn’t matter when the quality suffers.
My husband asked if he could order chicken fried rice without onion, he was told he could so he ordered some. It had onion. The chicken was tender and amazing but the onions meant he couldn’t eat it nor our kids. My pork fried rice has huge pieces of pork but they looked odd, they were brightly pink and tough. The egg rolls was great. The general tso chicken was not even remotely spicy. The orange chicken had unpleasant orange peels in it that were difficult to pick out and insanely massive pieces of plain broccoli.
My husband purchased a buffet to go container and added some mushrooms that were great, cocktail hot dog thing wrapped in bacon that were so-​so and some unidentified puff pasty looking things stuffed with a sweet mashed potato kind of mystery goop that was gross.
It is safe to say we won’t be returning.

MY suggestion is go anywhere else. This place is not worth the visit. Sadly the food is quite deplorable in any form and fashion. I mean the typical green beans you find at a buffet are normally good, well not here, by far, since they were quite raw and just barely cooked and no flavor. The quality of the chicken was a joke and very surprised I didn’t have issues the next day. I can’t really think of anything I liked there and definitely did not even consider the sushi.

Pretty bad experience. I just went for lunch today, and it was pretty sad. Most of the fried foods were obviously your ‘run of the mill’ prepacked eggrolls, crab rangoon, etc… They had a bar with ‘American Style” food and it pretty much all looked too disgustingly dried out to even try! All of the chicken at the stir fried bar was bad quality, and really the only one that didn’t have a strange taste was the Chicken and Broccoli. They do have a hibachi bar, which I should have tried, but at the time the one chef looked like he had his hands full. I tried a piece of what appeared to be veggie sushi, but after trying one bite, I realized it was pretty soggy and not fresh AT ALL! I really don’t think we will be going back again!

Dropping my rating to 2 stars. Went tonight and it has gone downhill. Frog legs are gone, very few crab lets, green beans weren’t fresh. They are not quickly filling the buffet because limited customers. About 10 people came in after me.
Won tons were under cooked and had no pork in them. Spare ribs are inferior to what they used to server. Chicken is mostly dark meat. Definitely a let-​down.
They instiituted a crazy reward program. Pay $ 1 for a card to earn points. You get 1 point if you pay with a credit card or 3 for cash. 100 points gives you a free drink, 450 a free lunch and 750 a free dinner. If you join their texting club you get 15% off when you show them the text. They didn’t give to me when I didn’t join the club and ran my card. I asked where the 15% off was and they said you have to join the card which it didn’t say. So I joined the card when he didn’t charge me and he put the $ 1.50 on the card. It’s like getting a point/​gift card. So If I spent $ 450 on a credit card or $ 150 in cash, I get a $ 6.59 lunch. Most places give you at least $ 5 for spending $ 100 with upscale places like Charthouse/​McCormick Schmick giving you $ 25 for every $ 250 spent. Not sure I’ll be back to use my $ 1.50. :)

Really pretty gross. I went at an off hour, DO NOT go at an off hour!!! This place has 3 buffet tables, one stir-​frys and noodles, one fried foods and soups, one raw bar and fruits/​desserts. The fried rice was bland and slimy. The egg rolls are the typical vendor supplied ones that most buffets use. There were these little dim sum in a steamer that were probably decent when fresh, tempura battered zucchini was just mush inside. The sesame chicken was watery and had and odd/​not good flavor. The chicken and broccoli was about the only thing I liked, but I think it was the freshest item on the line. Sushi looked pretty miserable. The only thing I really could see was that was (maybe) a plus was their seafood selection. Not being one who is excited by seafood, this did nothing for me. There was a raw bar with shrimp and I think mussels, they had very thin looking crab legs and dipping butter, also some sort of octopus stir-​fry, and breaded frogs legs. So maybe for the seafood minded patron, this makes up for the poor quality of everything else they serve. It is not enough for me. You know when you are still hungry after leaving a buffet, it’s not a good one.

My brother in law has a rule about Mexican restaurants — if they have a Speedy Gonzales on the menu, he won’t eat there. I had an equally dubious rule — if the Chinese buffet has a name like «China Buffet» I won’t eat there. But after my horrific experience at the oh so authentic and differently name Rong Tan’s the night before, I decided to take a chance that my theory might not apply.
And indeed it did not apply. The Saturday Lunch Buffet is very reasonable 6.59. For that you get a wide selection of fruits, veggies, fried Chinese standards, stir fry type dishes, soups, sushi and dessert. They had a couple of dishes I had not had at other Chinese buffets, and some were actually spicy, a rarity at buffets. Many of the sauces were sweeter than other buffets I’ve frequented, and it made for a nice change. I might also account for the larger than average number of families eating there (that or the wait at Chuck E Cheese’s next door was too long.)
The severs were friendly and efficient. Add a hibachi or Mongolian grill and it will be my main buffet on the East Side.
