Ok so, I REALLY use to love coming here. The sushi was awesome for "buffet style," the food in general was also extremely above par, but now it's honestly just awful. My son turned 13 and randomly requested sushi so we went and it definitely was nowhere near what it use to be. They use to take requests and would freshly make rolls for you and now they act like they have no clue what you're talking about. My kids like tempura sushi and the "sushi chef" flat out refused to make any rolls like they use to. THEN comes the best part. Our server goes to the buffet bar and brings my son back a plate with strawberry pudding and CHERRY TOMATOES with a candle in it🤦🏻♀️. Bless her heart I know she was I guess trying to be nice, but man.... Pudding and tomatoes?? They no longer serve ice cream like they did either. Then our bill was almost $80 for 4 people and when the price was questioned they pretended to not understand us. Anyways, use to be really good and now I honestly will never go back.

I've been eating here for more than 25 years. The food is consistently good. The service is always at least adequate, sometimes much better than that. They have won many awards over the years and set the bar for Chinese buffets in the region.

Good sushi and buffet. One of my go tos for a quick, delicious lunch. Friendly staff.

I recently discovered this place due to the sad fact that Cleveland no longer has any Chinese buffets and Chinese buffets are literally the only restaurant my asian mother will dine at. So, we have been here twice in the past 2 months already and everyone in our group really enjoys it. Personally, I wish they had just one dish that was actually spicy. My mother was disappointed that they don't offer hot chili oil and (embarrassingly) brought her own chili flakes to sprinkle on her dish; however, she still enjoys the food. Will be back on Father's Day for our next family dining trip.

Is it a good buffett? Yes, if you go at the right times. Is it worth the money? No. $31 for two people with drinks on Saturday night. Also, the area where the sushi is was very warm. That doesn't seem like a good idea. 🤢

My favorite buffet in Chattanooga. Large selection of items and it is all great tasting and great price. Friendly server kept drinks fresh. Buffet you can eat all you want. So a very good deal.

Somebody bought me lunch here a few weeks ago. Got there at a good time, then a bus load of passengers pulled up, and saturated the place. Got crowded, with a long line at the mens room. Carefully plan what time you're gonna be eating or standing in line. The food is good.

I usually go here during lunch hours (before 3pm). The food is always fresh and delicious. It is kept clean and service is always great. Hot and Sour soup is one of my favorites here. The sushi is amazing and they are very accommodating to special orders when it comes to sushi or sashimi. I get takeout if I don't have time to sit and eat and the food is just as good and fresh as dining in.
