The food quality was very good and the portion size was huge despite the reasonable cost. I ordered on-line and my order was correct & ready when promised. I got carryout and it was well packaged for the ride home.

The food here is consistently good. Plus the salmon is the best. I love mushroom dishes and they always have three or four tasty delights ready along wish clams and some spicy dishes.

My husband took me and the kids out for dinner for my birthday. We are not usually in this area and decided to go with buffet. This place was absolutely the worst Chinese food experience I have had yet! The main thing I usually get...is the chicken with broccoli with white rice. It was all old and dried out. They did not bring more out until I was leaving. My son, whom can barely chew food, was barely able to eat anything. The girl who served the drinks and cleaned the tables could not have been more than 8 years old. They need to be investigated by Child Labor Services.More

We did not like this restaurant at all. Not all the food was fresh, and altough it was early in the evening there was not much food. The freezer was old and its rubber was moldy. The restaurant was messy and not clean at all....The only compliment we can give is that the staff was nice. We were too tired to search for another place to eat, otherwise we would not have been eating here.More

I usually stop here for lunch whenever I'm in the area. Not the worst place but not the best either. The service could be better and little more friendly, but the buffet offers a nice variety of dishes and have been fresh whenever I dined...here.More

My girlfriend and I had a great meal! The food was great! We had a large variety of items to choose from and had no problems with the temperature of any of the foods. They are continuously bringing out fresh, hot refills. It was not...dirty at all. They did have the blinds closed but it did keep the restaurant a lot cooler. The lunch buffet was only $6.25, you couldn't ask for a better value. We are definitely recommended this place.More

We are passing through corn fields and handy to the highway. A little small but the food was fine. About $6 for buffet. You can also order from a menu.

We stopped here because we were in a hurry and buffet's are pretty quick. We were there over lunch, so it was prime-time, the food should have been as fresh as it was going to get all day. Bottom line, the hots were not all...that hot and the colds were not all that cold. It was the kind of place that when you get done, you hope that you don't get sick because of improperly heated or refrigerated food... we didn't, it turned out OK but... no, we will go elsewhere if we are in Marion at meal time again.More

We had eaten at this restaurant several years ago and it was very nice, with a great buffett. But times have changes and it has certainly gone down hill. When we got out of the car and walked up to the entrance, at first we...thought it was closed and abandoned. The glass in the door was very dirty and the interior of the entry way was dark and unlighted. The lighted sign said "Open", and we could see the interior of the restaurant was lit up so we went in. Now, I want to say right up front that the food on the buffet was ok. The deal breaker is that the restaurant was filthy. The carpets may have been beautiful at one time, but they were completely, disgustingly filthy - black with dirt except along the edges where the original color showed. The chair backs were once lovely, tapestry like material, but they are now grayish black from being handled and not cleaned. The restaurant building has one wall of nice large windows, but the vertical blinds were pulled shut to hide the uncleaned glass, but we could still easily see between the broken blinds how dirty it was. The walls on either side of the doorway to the kitchen area were stained black from dirty hands. The buffet area looked cleaner, except for the carpeting around that area, and we ate our food which was ok, with one or two selections that we liked better than the rest. We couldn't help but think about how if the parts of the business we could see was so dirty, how much worse the kitchen might be. We won't go back, and without major changes this business is doomed. If I owned a business next door to this one, I would be seriously concerned.More
