“ Very good food, service, and price. I mostly go for the buffet, which if I remember correctly ends at 3pm. There's a fair amount to choose from and it's all pretty good! I believe this is the only buffet in Smithville, so if you're extra hungry give them a try! ”

“ Updating my post. I know I said I'd never come back but this place is my childhood Chinese restaurant. Today we came in at an odd hour and he food wasn't totally fresh well they asked what we liked and made it ll fresh for us and even brought out a fresh plate to our table of coconut shrimp. I would have to say they went above and beyond today! ”
“ We ate at their buffet. The food was hot, well stocked, and tasted very good. There was also a small dessert buffet with ice cream that reminded me of my grandma's homemade soft serve! The staff were very friendly, and did a great job of checking on you for drink refills, empty plates or anything else, yet were not annoying about it and we did not feel rushed. I thought the price was very reasonable. ”
