UPDATE - I returned after deciding to give this location another chance after my first lackluster visit. Unfortunately, and again, I was underwhelmed. Wanting to have the best shot at fresh food, I hit the buffet at 11:30. The food was actually worse. Most seemed to be leftovers that had been reheated. All the characteristics were there. Overly sauced, meats were hard, tough and dried out, just as you’d expect from leftovers that had been reheated. The choices were exactly the same, no variety. And this time before I left, I visited the men’s room and found it in a disgusting mess (see pics). I will not return for a third time. Lunch buffet is only $10.50 and they have a good selection of the expected Chinese standards. Not huge, but adequate. Restaurant is mostly clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. Convenient location on Meighan Blvd. with easy parking. HOWEVER, at the end of my meal, I went to the dessert bar section for a few sweets. Lo and behold when I sat back down at the table, I noticed a bug of some description dead and stuck to the jelly roll cream cake slice that I had chosen (see pics). I understand things happen, but it was kind of a disappointing let-down after enjoying what was pretty good food overall.

This is an amazing little place. The service is awesome the atmosphere is relaxed and best of all the food is delicious. Authentic sizzling rice soup is to die for, brought piping hot to the table and the rice sizzles with flavor as it is added by your server. The selection on the Pupu platter will not disappoint, it’s served with a nice variety of yummy flavors and a tiny flaming grill so you can heat any thing up if you want. Perfect portions that are so wonderfully prepared it will be hard to choose what to eat. Try as much as you can You will not go away hungry and the price is nice. I can’t say Enough good things about this place. It’s a must if you truly love Chinese food. The staff is so pleasant and welcoming the moment you enter you will want to stay. Come see what I mean. I live in Georgia, it’s a 3 1/2 hour trip but I will be coming back because it’s the best I have had any where else in a long while. We only had the two dishes this visit but we got full, enjoyed every bite and still was able to leave with a doggy bag for a later snack. Simply amazing.

It's honestly impressive how little flavor the food here has. Like genuinely, I've had it three times and on every single one it tasted almost like nothing. I have no idea where all the positive reviews are coming from.
