Exterior: This location used to be a seafood restaurant. The lot is large but from the outside, it looks a bit dingy. They tried to upgrade it by adding on a nice wooden door and some stone work.
Interior: Absolutely stunning once you step through the doors. There is a tiny waterfall pond fountain right by the door. The walls are gorgeous and so is the starry color changing ceiling near the front counter. The hibachi / sushi / noodles bar is in the center of the buffet area. It separates the dessert from the main courses. Very spacious for gatherings or large groups.
For the interior alone, I would give it 5 stars. It would have to be the best looking buffet offered in Charlotte (Yes, I'm even comparing it to Tin's)
Food: Well, I would say the best they have to offer is the hibachi / sushi / noodles bar. My husband is very particular with his beloved pho. He tried the Vietnamese noodle and the broth was surprisingly good. They also offered wonton noodle soup, duck soup and some others. Sushi was fresh and there were a variety.
Besides that area, the rest of the food options are pretty basic. Nothing too special and it's the typical buffet options.
Pricing: It's the most wallet friendly in comparison to the surrounding Asian buffet off Independence Blvd. (in case you're unaware, there are a total of three Asian buffets including this location)
Would I return? Sure. I don't mind it. It's pretty restaurant to look at and grubbing on noodles and sushi would probably be the best thing. Staff are very friendly and don't feel pushy unlike the other buffets in the areas. Would I recommend this location? Yeah. Just as long you're not driving far away. If you're in the area, stop by and try it.
