Went for Monday lunch buffet… And to my surprise the food was really good. So many varieties of chicken. The hot and sour soup was brilliant … The fried rice and noodles were just bland no taste at all… They had white rice in a small electric cooker whcih looked very bad. Shrimp was not cooked properly it smelled very bad. My friends didn’t like the deserts none were really interesting nor tasty. Ice cream was good. Hibachi chicken is the best in chicken dishes very tasty… They had more of sweet dishes, not even one spicy chicken dish and not even one dish was spicy… Good ambience and clean tables. Courteous staff… Soo many varieties to eat… Bang for buck. Buffet for $ 8. Oh yes worth it…

This is the best Chinese buffet I’ve ever been to in my 27 years of life, and I love Chinese and Japanese food and am always trying new places. Eat here, you will be glad you did. –Everything tasted fantastic and fresh. I tried a bite of everything I could, and nothing was overcooked. Spices were delicious. Fish was tender and flaked. Veggies were crisp and flavorful. Chicken, pork, and beef dishes were juicy and cooked just right. Even the fruit tasted sweet and fresh, not like the boring, bland, canned fruit you usually find in buffets. The dumplings were amazing. –HUGE variety. Normal Chinese buffet options that taste 10x better(probably a good ten more dishes than you normally see), fruit and salad bar, soups, hibachi table, sushi bar, dessert and ice cream selections, and classic American fare for the picky eaters(though they’re missing out). –The sushi had good variety and was well prepared and kept at appropriate temperatures, no need to fear upset tummies from eating here. Very tasty, tempura was crisp, not soggy like some other places. –Very clean, warm, welcoming environment. Great décor; you can tell they’ve put a good amount of money into this place. –Great, and I mean GREAT, customer service. Very friendly and welcoming, and we never once had to ask for more drinks. They’d ask if we wanted more when our cups were still ¾ full(but were very nonintrusive and polite, so it wasn’t annoying). –Clean and well functioning bathrooms. Automatic soap and paper towel dispensers were available. I don’t know about you, but I believe you can tell a lot about any establishment by how much effort they put into their bathrooms. Check out their lovely ceiling. –Cost efficient: Only $ 9.99 for dinner. Drinks were $ 1.49. –Yelp info is incorrect; they are open until 10pm. I hope to pass through Opelika again soon so I can return to this little gem.

The only good things are the dumplings, fried chicken wings and ice cream. Come here if you are really hungry and have not much money. There are potentially good things like salmon but the taste is not good.

They have good choice of food, but their food quality has decline since 2013… Hibachi Chicken is good and i go there to eat sea foods only…

It was my first time trying this place out. I had no expectations, since I somehow thought this restaurant was straight up hibachi. Turned out it was a buffet, I mean I passed by many times and just thought. oh a buffet, with hibachi and sushi. But when I was invited for lunch with my colleagues, all they said was, we’re having hibachi. Hibachi is more of a Japanese thing for me, where I’m from. Not so much a Chinese buffet restaurant. I didn’t try their hibachi grill, but I did try many of the items on their buffet line. The service was good, although the servers rarely talk to you. They were nice and very attentive. The food were pretty fresh when our group arrived for lunch at noon. All the entrees were filled and appealing. I enjoyed the green bean stirred fry and the hibachi-style chicken. The sushi they offered were rolls of imitation crabmeat, some with avocado, some with cream cheese, and I did find a raw tuna roll. I do like how they have two noodle entrees. The dessert bar was decent sized and the restaurant had plenty of entrees, sides, and appetizers. Although it was my first time, I could see myself coming back on my own if I wanted some Chinese food for a decent price.

Food is O.K., The lady at the cash register is rude, the table servers are good. I asked for a Tea and received a water, when it was time to leave I got the table server to change my receipt to having water. When I got to the register the lady rung me up for tea, I told her I had water and got the server to change my ticket. the rude ass woman started hollering in Chinese at the server, the server didn’t come back. I would recommend going to one of the other 15 Chinese buffets in the area.

The food was excellent but service from the cook was unacceptable. He threw food on the plates and put my food on top of my packaged chopsticks. He was rude challenging the way we wanted our food. The restaurant didn’t send anyone to clean the grill. So we had to eat with a dirty grill. To add injury to insult when I reported the incident to the manager. She looked at me like I was invisible and then apologized. However she dismissed me after I informed her and kept talking to another server. When I asked whether she was going to speak him. The manager looked at me as if I were alien. No thank you Hibachi cause if I were white I would have gotten a better response to my complaint. African Americans steer clear of this eatery. Use your money at a place where you are respected.

This was barely a halfway decent buffet. The General Tso’s had weird texture for the chicken and tasted exactly like the sesame chicken, which obviously wasn’t good either. The cream cheese wonton had crab meat in it but wasn’t labeled as such which could be an issue for someone with allergies. The sauteed green beans were probably the best thing I tried. I did not try the sushi as it was not labeled but a friend said it was good. I don’t plan on returning but it seems like it would be good for those who really enjoy sushi.

Went to the Sunday buffet. The serving largest serving tables I have seen with many, many options. There were more in-house prepared dishes so the choices are fresher and tastier than most asian restaurants. The $ 9.99 buffet was well worth it; not cheap but for more choices of better quality.

It is really cheap, less than $ 10, even for weekend dinner. A lot of fresh fruit. Hope they could provide more tastes for crayfish, such as braised crayfish with thirteen special flavour herbal spices, ShiSanXiang crayfish for short.

Good food for a good price. The Hibachi grill is great. Not bad sushi for a buffet either. No waiting, lots of seating. Great atmosphere.

Food is pretty good. Large selection on the buffet. Costs 3.99 per pound on lunch takeout, 4.99 at dinner. Sushi is 5.99 per pound at lunch, and 7.99 at dinner. Sushi selection was really strong. More than just the typical crab or California roll. They had some Philadelphia rolls and some specialty rolls, like tempura or crunchy shrimp. For the standard buffet there are six different tables, first is the cold food and dessert. Fruit, salad, peel and eat shrimp, octopus, etc. Then there is a fried table, with Rangoon, wontons, fried shrimp, fried fish, and fried chicken. Next is a line with roasted salmon, baked mussels, clam bake, fried shrimp bake, some awful looking pizza. Then they have the typical Chinese buffet items: lemon chicken, pepper beef, orange chicken, etc. The last table has some full fish, full pork roasts, donuts, rolls and some other items I could not decipher Overall I suggest it if you want some decent food at a great price. Don’t expect fantastic food, but if you like sushi or typical Asian buffet food; you should enjoy it. Also roasted salmon and boiled shrimp makes it a huge plus.

I loved the hibachi and grilled noodles portion. The employees were sweet and made sure you got some nice hot noodles to go especially when some of the entrée trays were empty. They refilled any item you wanted upon request. Several of the food items looked scary and old as if it had been sitting there for days. The bean sprouts(mung bean) were actually a gray-brown color. A surprise item of theirs is the funfetti ice cream. There is no such thing as a good Asian buffet so I enjoyed wandering around to see their variety of misplaced food items. Price for to-go is by pound and it’s cheap. I packed my box with as much heavy items as possible and only ended up paying $ 7.

Food poisoning! I ate here on a Saturday night with 7 other people, and by Monday 6 of us were seriously ill. One guy had to get an iv because he was so dehydrated. I have eaten here one other time before the food poisoning incident and it wasn’t that great.

Maybe around 3.5 stars, but I’m feeling generous today. I think this used to be the old Provino’s? The hostess is sweet, and service overall is fine(used plates never stuck around for all that long). The buffet is huge and has at least something you’ll like including miniature spicy octopi which I found to be a bold move for the Auburn-Opelika area. My main gripe was that the cards indicating the names of the dishes were often incorrect. Anyway, for a $ 6.99 for a lunch buffet, I can overlook this gaffe.

i’ve been here 3 times. twice take out and once dine-in. the hostress/cashier was very nice and always smiling. the first time i went there was a take out(lunch). rolls were fresh and plentiful. the hot foods section had so much different dishes and looked pretty good. i had some rolls and hot food items and the rolls were very fresh and very good. the hot food was just okay. the second time i went to dine-in with my mother. the same hostess was very nice and friendly. i just couldn’t say the same for the waitstaff. it wasn’t that busy but they didn’t even paid any attention to our table. the water was empty and the empty plates were on the table but they were very slow in taking the plates out and unless i flag them down for water they didn’t care. i think there were 2 waitstaff in our small section and only had 4 tables and they couldn’t refill my water? or clear the empty plates? third time, i went there for take out. went there specifically for rolls. but when i got there the rolls weren’t that fresh like the very first time i went there. they looked dried and old. they also had flies flying around the rolls. yike!!! i just got some hot food and left there. i haven’t gone back there in over 2 months now… i really don’t know if i want to go back or not…

This just opened about a month ago. It’s as good as Asian Buffets get. There’s a choose your own grill and teppan station, sushi station, normal buffet, and dessert bar. It’s around $ 10 per person, and worth it.
