The recent transformation of this local Chinese restaurant has made a significant impact on its dining experience. Previously a buffet, it now offers an all-you-can-eat menu cooked to order, featuring 100 delightful dishes. Patrons have praised the attentive service and flavorful, freshly prepared meals, particularly highlighting the spare ribs and kung pao chicken. However, there's room for improvement in clarity regarding menu options, as well as service dynamics. Overall, with its reasonable prices and inviting atmosphere, the restaurant stands out as a must-visit for Chinese food enthusiasts in the area.
