I'll go out on a Lim here and say it's my new favorite.We went at 3pm on a Monday, so I expected lunch leftovers, empty pans, and mere remnants of food, if anything at all, but there was a full selection of hot and fresh Americanized Chinese food, including crab puffs and big fat egg rolls. Plus unexpected items like iceberg lettuce and ranch w/ hard boiled egg, vanilla pudding with sugar donuts, a sinus-clearing mustard, and (drum roll, or rather, egg roll please...) the best french fries in the world. Yes, you heard that right. A French fry is a fried potato but these French fries are like somebody fried a French fry. And then fried it again. It's like a Russian doll or Inception. It's like tempura. As in your heart will tempura-rarily stop beating if you eat more than four of these. The place is spacious, well-organized, and clean, even though it seems like a closed, run-down, hole in the wall from the outside. Paying up on entering and self-serve refills make it extra convenient. Plus, we met Lim! That's exciting. That's like meeting Jack from Jack in the Box or meeting five guys at Five Guys. Rice to meet you, Lim!

This will forever be my favorite Chinese restaurant ever in Phoenix.I have a bias. A HUGE bias as I have literally been here since I was like 4 years old. Food is great! The Chow Mein and Crab Puffs are just something else. Service... we'll it's a buffet so you serve yourself. That's really the best service you can give yourself.Ambiance is well... it's there for sure. Just try the food. I haven't found anything like it.

We've passed this place for years and finally tried it. The outside is somewhat deceiving-- a plain front in a strip mall. However, inside it was very clean but utilitarian. It was good, but not great. Everything (including takeout orders) comes off the buffet line. Being able to select exactly what you would like is very appealing. However, the fact that it is sitting out (even under heat lamps) means it's not as hot as it could be. Also, staff was filling takeout boxes from the line and it was often a stretch to grab a sticky serving utensil left on the employee side. There was a good selection of basics; very fresh tasting veggies, great wantons and crab puffs. Not bad for the money.

I was traveling and hungry and needed something filling at a good price. Pulling up to the restaurant I was wondering if it would be a hit or miss. The exterior is nothing fancy. The food is actually very good. I haven't had sesame chicken since I moved here from the mid west that was this good. The orange chicken was also good. Both were crispy fresh and perfectly seasoned. The restaurant is also very clean. It really is a hidden gem especially for the price.

I always love going back to this place for some classic Chinese buffet! The remodeling looks great and looks very clean inside. The true highlight of this place is the staff! They talk to me like I've known them for years. Amazingly friendly and kind. My favorite things to get are the sesame chicken and the crab puffs. Don't miss it!!

Ok driving by this place it doesn't look great. The area , the plaza however it is so delicious give it a chance. Support your local mom and pop restaurant they're so many of those left. Highly recommend it.

Don't judge a book by its cover! The food is awesome!I doubt that person who posted their comment about the food orders in house and to go orders are taken from the Buffet line.....But I digress. I've ordered take out from them several times over the past year. Everything has been hot and fresh. My favorite is their Egg Fu Young. I like extra sauce, so be sure to order an extra side of sauce if you like them smothered in the gravy.
