• Food, service and value.
• Temperature.

“The bread sticks are truly delicious and some of the best bread this traveler has tasted in the US. My starter of calamari were refreshingly not over breaded, and perfectly fried. On the advice of one of the helpful busboys, I chose braised beef with tortellini as an entrée, and was highly impressed. The meat was meltingly tender and the sauce showed praiseworthy restraint by the chef in his usage of cream. The tortellini were also good, but I think should be reduced to half the size of that which I ate, to give a better balanced forkful. For my delicate frame, the temperature was perhaps a little too high in the restaurant, a touch lower would have added to my pleasure. All in all a highly enjoyable meal at a reasonable cost.”

• Tremendous selection with quality items.
• No tartar sauce available for fried seafood.

“This was a large buffet style restaurant with typical Chinese decor. It was extremely well light, so not very good for romantic dining but fantastic for getting your money's worth. There were some separate smaller rooms which were good for large groups or a family with lots of kids. The buffet area had much in the way of Oriental dishes as well as pizza, fried seafood and chicken and best of all, snow crab legs and oysters on the half-shell. Lots of luck if the bins are empty because the replenishes don't understand English. The servers do, so you may have to get help from one of them. There was also a Mongolian Barbeque station where you can get selected food cooked to order. Various fruits and a desert station with cake, cookies and soft-serve ice cream top it all off. The place was really hard to beat!”

• Crab legs were done perfectly, most everything was very good.
• Lack of advertised foods.

“We visited the restaurant for the first time. I called before we went to see if they served lamb. I couldn't understand the person on the phone well, but it sounded like she kept telling me after 4 on Valentines day only. The whole time we were there, the leg on the table was down to the bone and never exchanged for a new one, so it was hard to get any cut off. They were completely out of frog legs which was listed on the door, and my husband complained to two people, plus the cashier and they just said," sorry: I was disturbed by seeing one of the help, twice, spit a long string of salava into the sink just off the dining room. Gross! We made a special trip because this restaurant sounded like what we were looking for.”
