Amazing fresh buffet!! Can’t say enough about this hidden gem in Lowell. You may have to work to find it - tucked into the back of a shopping center, but it’s well worth the effort! Food is amazing. Absolutely delicious. This is not your run of the mill buffet. There are plentiful choices, all fresh and tasty. Nicely presented. Friendly staff! Fruit is fresh and the best, melons dark and rich. Chocolate cake looks and tastes great. Sushi bar all fresh and well-decorated. I’ve been trying to cut back lately - but couldn’t here. Had to try everything and it was so, so good. If you like Chinese food and buffets are ok with you, you will love this place. Our new go to, what took us so long?!🙂🎉 Hope I didn’t over-use the word fresh, but it’s true. You leave feeling great!🌅 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Old restaurant in a small strip mall area in Lowell. Place looks a bit antiquated and needs a renovation. There’s ~4-5 tables of buffet food. It was lunch time so the food was hot and food turnover was good. But the sushi was somewhat cold and very limited, no raw sushi. The food is typical of a buffet place, serving the needs of the local community so nothing fancy or exotic. The taste is OK. Not advertised were the prices, excluding taxes, upon asking the cashier: Weekday lunch $12.95 Weeknight dinner $17.95 Be careful as the receipt includes a 15% tip, which should be optional especially for a buffet place. It’s not proper to just include the tip as some people will complain about that! Should tell the cashier to tell the owner to remove that mandatory tip on the receipt. There is another similarly name place in Methuen. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Be careful with what you eat. The salmon here had parasite 🪱. I tried pulling off the parasite it was not cheese nor it was a vain like the employees claimed. They should be more then that with food preparation. This could have turned out to be very bad if my wife were to eat this. Ps... It's not a noodle either it was inside the salmon and we had a tug on it. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

I keep visiting this restaurant very often. Post pandemic, the prices have gone up and the food quality has dropped drastically. They definitely do have a great spread. I like their seafood soup and shrimp. They do server a wide spread of fresh fruits and desserts. Place is clean, their service is quick. It’s easy to get a table on a weekday. Weekends very occasionally there could be some wait time. But yes, the wait is not going to be too long. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $10–20

Went at open for Sunday lunch. Wasn't bad, but definitely wasn't good. On par with what I should expect from a Lowell all I can eat place. Their "sushi" options were mostly crab meat and cream cheese variants, some even had ginger rolled up inside. Regular buffet items were mediocre, tried a little of everything and ended up only having some more chicken. The hot and sour soup was tasty. Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

We used to eat here monthly, but stopped when they stopped serving crab legs. Haven't been here in years and thought we'd give it another try. Prices have gone up a lot, but quality dropped. Some of the items were cold or cool, like they were using the steam tables to heat things up. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Hot and sour soup here is amazing. Everything else is your typical and not like how it used to be pre COVID. Not much for sushi option but I wouldn’t eat sushi at a Chinese buffet anyways. Food not fresh but room temperature. I would suggest here if you are okay with average food and your typical

Over all food is pretty good for a local buffet. Staff was friendly and prompt. Food had some good flavors and there were plenty of options. Would recommend eating here! Food Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

This is by far the most disgusting Chinese food experience I have ever had in my life. Some of the food was warm some of it was cold and it came from the same bin. Honeydew had brown spots on it, there were pineapple that were fresh then there were ones that were so yellow because they were soaked in their share for laying out for days. I usually love crab rangoon and I love their use of onion in them but I feel a little queasy. I can't really recommend even half of the stuff I ate the Brownie Bite was tremendous but other than that I just can't in good conscience recommend this place to anyone.

This was easy and quick but everything I ate tasted old. I saw a new batch of crab Rangoon come out so I grabbed it but that also tasted old. Sad life Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
