I will preface by saying that the food here is really good, the employees are friendly, and the restaurant is kept clean. I docked a star because my boyfriend and I arrived at around 1:30 and stayed until around 3:00, which to me, all remains within what’s considered “lunch time.” I believe most places offer a lower price for eating at lunch time vs dinner time, but either way, the girl told us that it would be about $23 for the two of us to have the buffet which is a really good price, and she writes this number down on our paper... but then we got the bill only to see that it actually costed us nearly $50!! I don’t know if this was a mistake or what, but that seemed a little outrageous considering that we left little to no leftovers (I say this because they claim they will charge extra if you leave too much uneaten food) and it was around lunch time. I really want to come back here because it was good, but this really threw both of us off.

This restaurant has a clean and tasteful appeal. Service is fast and friendly. The menu is extensive. This place offers 'all you can eat - made to order'. This is a great way to have fresh made food, not from a buffet. This is in addition to ordering individual meals from a menu. Pricing is very affordable. As I said before, the menu is large. You can order most Asian foods here. When I was here, portion sizing was on the large size. What I like most of that the food tastes fresh. I will be back.

The best in the Erie area. Great service, clean well maintained restaurant. Check schedule, we found out they had somewhat unusual days, showing up on a day they were closed (Tuesday if I remember correctly). The buffet seems somewhat pricey, but everything is fresh. To go lunch specials are excellent. I am not a big fan of the to go salads but I am not a salad lover.

The unlimited dinner buffet menu is the perfect thing for when you’re not exactly sure what you want, but don’t want to deal with people at a self service buffet. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was modern and clean, and the food was quite good. I’ll be in the area for business, and definitely plan on coming here more often.

I have mixed feelings about this place. It is an all you can eat where the food is actually quite incredible, the portions reasonable, and the price is fair, yet the largest issue with this location is the wait for food. At first, we gave them the benefit of the doubt as a rather large table was currently being serviced behind us, and I know first hand how that can slow down the kitchen getting to other tables, and how overwhelming such a large service can be. But after we ordered our second round, and it still took about an hour to get our food, and then it took about 40 minutes to get our dessert, it is hard to excuse the time it took to get the food out. The tableside service as drinks are involved was punctual. Additionally, something to be aware of is there is a fee for left over food on your plate. It is all you can eat, but waste is charged at this location. Food is great, but service can be slow. I recommend this location, but if you choose to come here, be sure you have ample time set aside--about two to two and a half hours--if you intend to get several rounds of orders.
