The food was improved since I last ate there a few years ago, but it was fair at best. I can't believe the rave reviews in this thread. The selection is very limited compared other Chinese buffets I've been to. The sushi selection is a joke. I didn't see any Alaskan King crab legs.

The condiments are all in little squeeze packages like you get with take out. Service was good but overall, I was very unimpressed.

I honestly don't believe that this place will stay in business with Evergreen right down the road.

By the way, if you want to try a really great Asian buffet got o Koy Wan in altamonte Springs. The sushi bar alone is worth the trip. They have a Mongolian grill and a huge selection. The quality of the food is very good.

If you don't want to drive that far, the next best is Ocean Buffet in Ocala. Not up to Koy Wan standards but the second best as far as I'm concerned.
Alaskan King Crab Legs ?? Not sure where you heard that from. It's snow crab. Not the best in the world, but not the worst. For the price, we like it. I'm not going to say there aren't better places, but I'm not driving to Orlando to get a fix for a Chinese Buffet. I think for the price, it works for us.
