Went here for the first time with my wife and son. I now know why we never went before. We didnt finish out plates. Food was not that great. We all had stomach aches and in the restroom when we got home. Will not be back

Staffs are polite, foods are okay. They have what you are craving for like crabs, oysters, mussels and such. I love their seafoods, as well.

The lady who picks up the dirty plates doesn't let you take your time eating and she hit my shoulder taking my plate away without apologizing. It's also more expensive than other buffets I've been too with not as many options.

If you're considering eating here you must be thinking, "wow, that's pretty cheap for a full course buffet in 2022, what's the catch?". Well traveler, this is where I tell you there are several:
1) The sushi (aside from the eel) is the most depressing possible interpretation of sushi, the rice is below average and the fish is merely suggests the presence of fish
2) The more typical entrees range from pleasant to unsettling with a heavy bias towards the latter
3) The desserts were surprisingly pretty good, although the self-service ice cream seems dubiously sanitary (caveat emptor)
4) The entire place is a bit warmer than one would like, however if that's your preference then this could be a positive
5) The clams and shellfish (presumably) were pretty good... for about 12-24 hours that is, prior to my friend and I who had them being compelled by forces outside of our control to immediately expel them (and anything else held in our digestive tracts) for the following 24-36 hours. Our third shellfish-less friend with us that day, ever the control groupie, could not relate to our woes on anything other than points 1-4

This Chinese restaurant was not worth the value.
The food was low (about 3 p.m.) and dry, and burnt.
Very plain taste, low food quality.
Do not recommend it.

Don't like the place coz I paid by card and they included tips without asking me. Also they charged me coz my friend sat at my table. They said it was a party charge.
You always need to communicate to staff (get utensils, napkins or refill drink) and it makes me nervous.
Hot food was not bad. But cold was disgusting. The same with jellies and sweet food.
After I went out I noticed that my bike was broken - somebody tried to steal it in front of the entrance. And the receptionist even didn't stop them.

Definitely worth going here. The food was warm and super tasty. You can cook anything you want on the spot so it’s fresh and the taste was awesome. When i’m back in town definitely going there again. Also it was super cheap per person as well.

I have come here on and off since the 1990s, and never thought that much about it other than the fact that it is a really good deal as long as you can stomach the food. Well, I just went there recently with my brother, and I was nearly in shock at how much this place has improved from whatever was my last visit. The variety, the quality, even the atmosphere, everything about this place is better than before, way better. Previously, I never thought I would ever want to come back here unless it was just because I was with someone who wanted to eat here, but now I do want to return! In fact, I'm looking forward to the next time! And I will be sure to bring a friend to share the experience with. To the management, good, good job! Now I wish I had one of these where I live. At least I get to visit Burbank a few times a year.

I was very happy eating! Suddenly they told me that I was exceeded my time in there. How could it be? They never said it was limited time to be there. Bad service!

Haven’t been here in years, they closed for 18 months during the worst of Covid and recently just reopened.
The food selection was great, their ice cream has to be scooped out instead of the usual soft served. Food is generally good but I have to mention their fried chicken…it looked big but when I bit into it, the breaded part (flour) was 50% of the thickness and the chicken itself look unappetizing
Service was friendly and professional.
Process is a little different here, you pay the cashier when you come in, the waiter will tape your receipt to your table, then you go get your food, they have signs to warn you against wasting food (they will charge you extra)
They also charge you 10% service fee for group of 2 or more.
