2023-07-21 19:15:47Cane here after a hike and was a bit hungry. The food looked go so we decided to stay. I was a bit disappointed with the food that was offered. The food tasted ok, it seemed as if it was under the heat lamp too long. I did like the noodles and clams, though.

2023-09-25 21:11:27Food was cold and absolutely disgusting. Ask them for fresh teriyaki chicken because it was cold, they took it back and 5 minutes later put it back out more drier than it was but now luke warm. Watched them bring out fresh Indian chicken and take old food and put it in with the fresh food.. I made a health department complaint for violations.. I wouldnt ever go back to that disgusting buffet.

2023-08-01 22:33:54Was here with my family. I hv no idea how u can take peoples money & give them food from a trash can. If u love Chinese food. This ain’t the place. Best Chinese food in Santa Maria is “Ming Dynasty” the food the host, the servers r all great. The food is fresh & tasty.

2023-11-20 17:34:09This place should be ashamed of themselves. Their food was missleading. Orange chicken was all bread NO chicken. Place is dirty and they make u pay before u sit down. This place literally should be turned into the food administration.

2023-04-29 01:50:51EDIT 4/27/2023: This place is terrible now. The Mongolian grill is gone. The food is now very noticeably lukewarm to cold even at 5 PM. Way too much random food choices, a lot of it Mexican. Even if its a very Hispanic area of Santa Maria, dunno why they wanna go to an Asian buffet for Mexican food. No potstickers this day, which I consider a staple. Only thing I LOVED was the Indian chicken. Phenomenal with a sweet curry flavor. Managed to get some hot even though they buried the fresh stuff under the old stuff. Service HAS improved. They DO notice you now, take your plates, and refill your drinks. You prolly dont wanna come here though.Old 2018ish review: I was scared to try this place after reading all the negative reviews, but this was the only place I could find within 150 miles that has a Mongolian grill. I was pleasantly surprised. All the staff were nice, the potstickers were fresh and edible, (if theyre hard as a rock, thats usually a sign of overall food neglect) and there was a great selection! My Mongolian grill plate was delicious and Im posting a pic of it. People who are saying the food is bland must not have a lot of tastebuds. It tasted really good like any other Chinese buffet Ive come to know. I didnt have a single experience or bite of food I thought was gross. Some food was lukewarm and almost cold, but nothing I wouldnt expect from a buffet at 2 p.m. when I ate. Definitely going to be returning for more. If youre easy or moderate to please, I say ignore the bad reviews and give the place a chance! Im glad I did.

2023-11-18 18:26:13Food was cold and chewy. The food was mislabeled. Thought I was getting fried squash and ended up with what I think was a chicken nugget.

2022-09-23 22:19:59This is our favorite buffet in town, so much variety and seafood, clams, crab legs, egg rolls and even pizza. Everything is Super fresh and the place is very clean.

2023-04-28 18:21:56I went into this place with my husband this weekend. It was our first time there and I was not impressed. When my husband and I arrived another group of people arrived just after this. This was group of what looked like mainly deaf individuals who where using ASL and making vocalizations. I saw the server mimic these people and laugh while doing it. It is as very rude and disrespectful.About the actual restaurant. The food is served in styrofoam plates, which honestly threw me off. The food is ok, nothing really special. It was very greasy, but you get what you pay for.I will not be returning to this place ever again.

2019-05-12 01:05:28Food options are Terrible, dessert options are awful and taste plain and weird, price isnt bad but not worth your money for low quality trash food, anything is better even taco bell haha.
