Horrible never again! Food cold. Did not have good taste. I will never return and will pass on to family and friends not to ever eat here. I have never been so unhappy like I am today.

Best Chinese Buffet I have ever had! I have lived all over the southeastern U S and this is easily the top three I have eaten in my life. Definitely the best in west Texas. I was in Lubbock and did a search and found the reviews were correct. Staff is friendly but above all the food is fantastic none of had that processed taste. Everything from the sushi to the sesame chicken was fresh and tasteful. I even went during the slow time and still everything was top notch. I highly recommend! :)
