Looks like these guys gave up on their establishment! Food flavor is horrendous and just plain blehhh! Only reason I landed here was because I was hungry and the place looked appealing. So me and my wife decided to give it a shot. So we did. All though the environment seems great the food tasted like it was days old, the chicken tasted sour. The fruit salad had apples so sour that I spit it back out. Didn’t decide to try the«grillmaster“because I hate the idea of uncooked meats being out in the open, specially after u see no one giving it a shot. All in all definately last time I visit this place.

Been going here for years and the establishment is finally showing its age. The cushions on the seats and benches is basically worn away. Even the goldfish in the pond are gone. The bathrooms need major upgrading. As for the food, it was better a couple of seasons ago. The quality has really gone down and that’s a shame since this was a favorite, bi-weekly place to eat. Too many under 10 yr old kids running around, dropping food and self serve ice cream and dried crud on the tables. Goodbye All Style Buffet!

Could of been better, only stopped in here cause me and a friend of mine where literally starving! Food selection was pretty big but I feel like the dessert could’ve been bigger and better. 11.95 a person which is not bad at all.

Lets just start by saying that you’re better off coming in with prewritten cards in Chinese with questions just in case you need to ask them something about whatever, because no-one will understand you. What they do understand is $ «and howmany ppl»? They have nothing but mexicans in the back cooking your«authentic chinese food». Lol… The table cleaner only comes around once thru your whole meal. So do expect to have a stack of plates on your table. One more thing is dont expect padding on your seat, cuz you wont have none. The food is very mediocre so i honestly think its overpriced for the whole experience, but thats just me. I dont really write down my thoughts on food and locations but i tried today bcuz the wife wanted to try this place out, so i looked it up thru Unilocal and i had told her iit had said it was bad considering thr reviews on Unilocal.We still went and we were both disappointed. Better luck next time i guess.

I dined here yesterday. The location is great. Parking is convenient and ample, so no worries with that. Nice selections at the buffets. They even have a Hibachi grill. I got my food items for the Hibachi grill, but had to find a worker to get the grillmaster! No one was working there or even peeped out to see if customers were waiting! I have had better stir fry. They do not have Sriracha sauce on the tables, you will not get a lot of heat if that is what you like. The cushions on the booth seats are the worst that I have ever seen! Don’t these people have any pride in appearance??? All of the booth seats were in deplorable condition! The best thing is that the beverage kiosk is self-serve.

The only thing that keeps me coming back to this buffet is the person who actually cooks your stir fry right in front of you it’s delicious and you get choose what ever you want it in for instance: shrimp, jalapeños, carrots, beans sprouts… etc. Sushi is good. The desert however is so limited and when I say limited I’m talking about sugar coated peanuts, and dollar store confetti sprinkled brownies lol sounds harsh but hey, deserts the best part, there they lack tremendously. Salad bar is pretty big, they alway have fresh Cucumbers, watermelon, pineapple, romain, etc.

This place is decent. Good chow mein, The sushi is great, the stir fry is very flavorful, and clean stir fry grills. I went to hibachi buffet on cicero and their grills is covered in tar! This place is worth grubbing out. Also, the food you get in breakfast time(11am to 3pm) is the exact same food you get for dinner(3pm to 10pm). The men’s bathroom is wrecked and tagged every nook and cranny you can see. Great buffet for the price. Don’t go late at night during the week because they are not rolling out fresh food!

I have to say that this was not our first choice of buffet to go too but our regular buffet was closed and we were all hungry and ready to get our grub on but at an inexpensive price. We didn’t make the lunch buffet which is 7.99 but we made it for the dinner buffet which is 11.19 starting at 3pm. I hate to say immediately I wished this wasn’t our second choice but I was with friends and family to celebrate a birthday and at the end of the day that is what was most important but I can’t tell you how I wished we had got there earlier to save some money on this mediocre food. Now, I know some say what do you expect when you aren’t paying that much for the food; Well I will tell you this, I may not be expecting lobster and filet mignons but I sure do expect the food to be flavorful, eatable, replenished when the food trays are emptied and most importantly digestible. I will give you a quick scenario and I don’t blame the restaurant for this but I am saying we should have to pay the price for other customers acting like they are the only ones in the restaurant. They had some Pepper Shrimp with the heads on but they tasted so good(I can give them an A plus on this selection) Anyway, people were taking mounds of it, matter a fact one table had three people come up and just about empty the pan. We(the other customers) stood around like a pack of hungry animals waiting for them to bring more for almost 15 minutes and they still didn’t add more shrimp to the pan. I went to sit down because the food I did have on my plate was getting cold. My girl’s mom went back up and just as the vultures were about to attack the pan again she got me some and that was the only way I was able to taste them. The grill was just disgusting the beef was a greyish type of brown, the chicken was slimy and old looking and I couldn’t believe they had it siting out or that people were getting it as a part of their stir-fry…Yeah, I skipped that experience. I am a sushi eater and it is one of my favorite foods. I’m trying not to sound like a big baby but yuck yuck pooie and yes I did say that without hesitation. It was just not fresh and it didn’t really look appetizing but I thought I would give it a try. Now, don’t get me wrong they had a few items that were tasty and flavorful but they had so many other ones that weren’t that it overshadowed the so few dishes that were worth putting on your plate. The bathrooms weren’t that clean and if I didn’t have to go I wouldn’t have went and I will leave it at that. I have to say the staff except for a couple were very friendly and nice but it wouldn’t make me want to come back but I do thank them for being observant and helpful. They don’t have a wide selection of desserts which was disappointing for our birthday boy. They did have a soft serve ice cream which did taste good but you can’t really mess up ice cream, can you? I have to say at the end of the day we had fun not because the food was exceptional, or the place was über clean(cuz it wasn’t) but because the 7 of us enjoyed each others company and laughed so hard together that the food and this place played in the background of our family time. All in All I can’t say I won’t be back because you just never know but if I had a list of buffets because my favorite buffet is closed this one won’t be my second choice.

Two words. Donkey balls. This place is horrid. We read a bunch of 3 star reviews and didn’t necessarily have high hopes, but the food here is beyond gross. The staff is super rude too, my husband said the waitress swore at him under her breath because we didn’t tip. We would have gladly tipped had the food been halfway decent. Edible, even. Also the ticket they give you to «reserve» your table, such as what you get at any buffet restaurant was not so keenly worded toward good customer service but all but cussed the customer out. They threaten fines and additional charges for wasting food and eating additional desserts. Kinda funny, but kind of not funny too. All in all a weird and rather unpleasant experience. Best thing we ate was the ice cream at the end.

FRAUDULENT!!! I went to lunch with a 30% off coupon. They gave me less than 25% off of their listed $ 7.99 lunch price. When I questioned them, they basically told me if I didn’t want to pay what they wanted to charge me, I could leave. Why would you go to a place where they try to rip you off like that and then give you attitude when you call them on it?

decent food, clean place. the selection of dessert was a joke… if it wasn’t for the soft serve ice cream, i would have snapped.(almond cookies, apple danish and a hard ass brownie. .i wanted to stick my finger in a electric outlet.

Decent buffet for the price. Their selections seem to be more diverse, but not that big of a selection though. Most of the items were okay, but some of the meat were tough. Wish there was a little more veggie option. Sushi was okay, but minimal. Most of them were veggie only and seemed to be sitting out there for quite some time. The never replaced the unagi roll… argghh! Will maybe go back to try it on a weekend.

You can’t really ask for to much at a place like this. I’ve been twice for the lunch buffet and you’re paying $ 9 for all you can eat and they have a hibachi grill and crab legs at dinner time I believe. The food could definately be little hotter though. The only things I dislike about this place is that the mens bathroom has more graffiti than New York City and I saw a waterbug on my way out the bathroom. Once again its definately decent for what you’re paying

I’ve been here 3 times for a quick lunch, and will go again. It’s rare to find 4 types of fish that aren’t fried at a place like this, so I really appreciated that. They are: baked salmon, baked flounder, pollock(imitation crabmeat), and the several raw varieties at the sushi bar. Okay so that’s not only 4 types then… get over it… how about 4 different areas that have un-fried fish? Did that satisfy your OCD???

This was absolutely horrible. The food is cold and old and small selection; it was clearly sitting out all day. Even if the food was fresh, most things use butter for the main flavoring. It is clear that there is not anyone caring about food quality. The sushi looked brown, mac and cheese was watery, noodles cold, nothing was properly labeled, so you had to guess what you were eating and they did not even take the time to properly clean strawberries. I am not being picky, but even if you can’t cook, not taking the stem out of the strawberries is just lazy and showing a lack of respect of your patrons. You should at least get what you pay for, here you don’t even get that. For twenty dollars we could have gotten a couple sandwiches someplace and been much more satisfied with money to spare. I hope others learn from our mistake.

I’ve had better. Simply having good service and nice décor don’t really make the cut. I don’t think the food was good at all. I tried the buffalo chicken and it only tasted like bbq chicken. The egg drop soup tasted like thickened soup with egg(plenty of sulfur taste). The roasted chicken was dried. The mashed potato was plain terrible. I don’t know how they can mess up the basics. One thing that shocked me was the five spiced beef… I can’t describe the taste because it was nothing different than adding sugar to oyster sauce. The five spice is barely carried out. Quite a disappointment here. The fried chicken was good(when fresh). What really lacked here was taste. There is a variety of food to choose from. They had a pretty decent sushi bar and grill.(My «steak» were all charred and can’t be eaten. The meat were all tough after the grill. I only came here because my date like this place for the price and choices… I believe the highlights are the view/decorations, the price(but not the quality of food), and service.

I’m writing this review after just walking inside my home after spending approximately 15 minutes at this place. What led me to this place was a coupon I printed off the site to get a $ 5.99 lunch buffet. When I went to the counter and asked the clerk if they are still accepting this coupon, she told me yes, but I had to pay $ 7.99 for the regular buffet to get the $ 5.99 buffet. As soon as she explained this to me, I looked down and on the counter, I saw a sheet explaining buffet pricing. From Monday-Friday, during lunch, get a buffet to go for just $ 2.99 a pound, and dinner buffet Monday-Saturday for only $ 3.99 a pound! I’ve never heard of anything like this before! So I decided to get the lunch buffet to go, going around the aisles of the eatery in search of delicious things to fill my to-go container, and delicious things I would find. Stuffed mushrooms, baked flounder, BBQ pork skewers, authentic crabmeat pieces, sushi-cream cheese and California rolls and raw fish sushi-slab of raw fish over solid rice ball, cheese pizza, brownies, cupcakes, macaroni and cheese, slices of oranges, cantaloupes, melons, and a host of other delicious goodies and munchies! Total cost for the things I listed(I got every single one that I mentioned except for orange and melon slices and the raw fish sushi) was only $ 6.31! Yes, that’s right, $ 6.31! Damn good deal! Oh my gosh, I have got to come back to this place, probably within the next 2.5 weeks or so, but with my severe time restrictions, there’s no guarantee that I will. Nevertheless, it is worth the money. Very inexpensive, and the customer service is great! NOTICE: If you want to pay using either debit or credit, what I used today, you have to purchase a minimum of $ 5 in food. Something else that makes me give this place five stars is that, in between the register and the dining area, there’s a mini pond, filled with beautiful orange fish, live of course. I saw a bunch of small ones, but I also saw like, about three big ones. What a beautiful sight that was.

This may have been the last time I go. The quality of the food has gone down. Rice, chicken, crab rangoon had no flavor. The temperature of the food in the egg roll section was not hot. This place is just going down. Sad the the owners invested so much money for hoodlums to graffiti and steal soap dispensers. I may go one more time, but will stick to regular Chinese restuarants.

Sunday, July 3 — A friend of mine and I, decided to go here at the last minute around 5:30pm, he was from New York just wanted to go to a buffet restaurant. I pulled this one up on Unilocal.Have to say, it actually pretty good. There isn’t really any bad things to say. Their staff sure do love to clean, every where I looked someone had a rag and cleaning the tables and chairs. Food was good, they had sushi there also for $ 10.95 per adult. Not to bad at all.

In the beginning the place was awesome, clean and very economical. I have to say a year into the place and I am no longer impressed. It seems that the establishment lets the Bay Bay kids under 5 serve themselves, and I find that not too good for sanitary reasons. Especially when kids touch food and put it back barehanded. I use to like the way this place has room to breathe, but now, its got that«crowded and cheap» feel. Although okay for me, I don’t go out of my way to go here, although I pass it almost every day. I’d rather go further for a buffet. But its just OK.
