I would give it a 3 but +1 for a generous birthday policy. You don't see it that kind of policy out there anymore where bday person is free with any party size.
For a buffet its not bad. The setting is decent. Drinks were included. My favorite ice cream didn't run out. Went here for lunch.
Avoid: steak, tough as nails, sushi, wouldn't call it that really, steak...it was that hard
Whats good: fish...hard to screw up basa fillets, the make your own stir fry, super fresh because of high turnover, green tea/mango ice cream
Hidden Gem: beef brisket, had a good amount of tendon attached to it, made it feel like i was having ox tail
