Finally came in to try this afternoon after having passed by forever. This place might not look like much on the outside, but it serves fresh food. If you’ve ever been to the Mongolian BBQ places at malls, it’s pretty much the same thing though AYCE. I loaded up on all the beef, lamb, and chicken I wanted with noodles and veggies. I was not aware that you could mix and match the various sauces available. Therefore, I picked BBQ, house, and sweet and sour. Definitely would come back.

Grade A (92): It's great of you're doing Keto, just don't get the rice or add noodles. I really like their "Use as many plates as you want for your food, we charge by weight" policy. This way I don't have to fit everything in one bowl and stack it up, I put as much meat as I want in one plate and veggies in another etc. The service is great, I'm always in and out quickly whether it's lunch or dinner. If you stay in it's all you can eat. I usually do take out

This place deserves the hype cause at this price for all you can eat?!!! This place is FIREEEE. You can eat as much food as you want included with rice, soup, bread, AND spring rolls. They even gave us extra oranges. I love it here. I will come back here for sure.

Service is fast and polite. Let's be real... This place is all about ALL YOU CAN EAT. The staff will make sure to bring you more of anything... Rice, appetizers, drinks. Everything here is great. If it's your first time here I definitely suggest making a first bowl for your first try around just so you can get your ingredients and flavoring the way you like it. The one thing I will say about the food.... Pass on the soup. Don't do it. Other than that, this place is great. Enjoy being stuffed !

All you can eat in that you fill up some bowls with meats, vegetables, noodles and sauces and they cook it for you. You can also get (included) soup, appetizers like spring rolls, pocket bread, and rice. We picked what we wanted and tried to guess how much, then they cooked it in about 2min. It came out super hot. We liked what we put in and the sauces. Service was friendly and it was worth the price. If you want to take some home, it's $0.60/oz.

Not sure why I kept on hitting places where I haven't been to for a long time. I can't even remember when was the last time I ate at this place Lunch buffet, with soup and Chinese style bun, is $14.95 per person. There are 5 different meat selections: chicken, pork, turkey, beef, and lamb. Various types of veggies, as well as cooking sauce to choose to make the final product.
