| - There are quite a few large buffets in the area, one being Passion Grill in Gastonia and another is China King Super Buffet on Tyvola, and this one is right up there with them. I would say as far as size and variety go, It's 2nd to Passion but beats China King.
They have a separate sushi bar and a hibachi grill to go along with the standard buffet items. The dessert, fruit, salad areas are also heavy with options compared to your typical buffet. There is plenty of room to aimlessly roam around looking at the options and due to the size, I've hardly ever had to wait for people to get out of my way, which would suck if you're really hungry. When hungry and confronted with more food than one could ever hope to eat, I often contemplate the morality of pushing little kids out of the way when they are clumsily trying to tong noodles onto their plates. Luckily, I don't have worry about it here.
They have the hard-to-find beef with broccoli (for my dad) as well as the common chicken with broccoli. They have various white fish and grilled salmon (grilled in a white sauce). They have a spinach with cheese dish that I've never seen. It's really good. There is obviously much more, including two different types of rice. There are a few "American" dishes such as pizza and some kind of meat as well as other stuff I haven't paid a lot of attention to.
The food itself is actually tasty. It's not something to blow you away but they keep it full and fresh and depending on your personal tastes, it's rather good, especially now compared to when they first opened. I thought everything was overcooked when they first opened, however, as time has gone by for them to settle, I have been here many times and it's definitely much better.
The staff is moderately friendly (quiet but nice) and are efficient. They always have someone taking your empty plate or filling your drink without much wait and you can tell they are constantly scanning the GIGANTIC dining area to make sure we're all happy.
The price, in my opinion, is just about right. It's around the same as China King but offers much more. It's a few dollars less expensive than Passion Grill, but offers a little less.
With all this positive, why not five stars instead of four? Well, I suppose it's simply because the food taste isn't the most impressive. As I mentioned, there are good dishes, and it's not at all bad, but nothing to get excited about. I would say it was normal with some hits and some misses, but hey, it's all subjective anyway.
Since I'm a fan and this place is near me, it will be a go-to place to eat for those days when I don't feel like spending too much energy on figuring out what "I'm in the mood for" or when not feeling up to figuring out a new place to try.
One tip... remember to grab your silverware at the buffet tables with your plate or you'll have to get up again. I don't know how many times this has happened to me and my company.
