Opened in Pinellas Shopping Center - anyone know anything about it?

When I Googled it, one in Inverness showed up as a Chinese Buffet. Maybe the same thing. There are reviews on the one in Inverness on Trip Advisor.

Bonny: Do they have a bar?

Now that would definitely make me like them just a little bit more !

We have been to the one in Inverness and it was okay. You get what you pay for with those buffet places. I would give this one a try one day when I don't feel like cooking (which is most days)

I love chinese food buffets, and that's the problem. Most of my favorite dishes are about 1500 calories and over 1500mg of sodium. But it tastes soooo good.

Thought it was a bit pricy for what you get. $13.25 for dinner which made me want to over eat to get my money's worth. Go for lunch if you go around $7.95. Oh they discounted it 20%, not sure what that was all about.

No bar, but our neighbors say the food is good and they keep it fresh by putting out small amounts and constantly replenishing.

I tried the place last week, right after they opened. Normally I'm not big on Chinese food and even less of a fan of buffets, but they have a section where you hand over a bowl of [whatever you put together] and they will stir-fry it for you. That was worth the trip. I agree the price is a bit high, so will try lunch next time.

If it's owned by the same owners of the Chinese take out at Colony then I just can't go there....at least not yet. I'll have to wait for an inspection report first. My neighbor took her visiting adult daughter and 2 grandchildren there for lunch and visibly saw a cockroach run across the eating area floor. That's enough for me to avoid the place until I'm assured it's clean with no inspection violations.

$8.95 for lunch which is a little high for a Chinese buffet. Food that we ate was pretty good just not enough selections of chicken dishes. No honey chicken, pineapple chicken or pepper chicken or shrimp except peel and eat. Did have a stir-fry grill, but a lot of the selections of meat or veggies were not labeled. Lots of fruits and desserts all looked good. Chicken on a stick was very good. Did suggest on the way out when paying they needed more meat or chicken dishes so maybe being new they will add more. I may go back but will wait awhile to see if they have changed.

worst Chinese food I've had in years. Hot and sour soup is good along with the few predictable dishes that are bought in bulk.
Same owners as the buffet next to Publix on 446

Another thing worth noting. Someone might want to tell the owner to stop making the girls bow repeatedly. It's demeaning and frankly the Chinese don't bow. Japanese bow and they are done with the routine.

Well JMO Wife & I went there last night. I didn't think it was bad at all. We were greeted and seated promptly. Food was hot, refilled as was needed, had an assortment of deserts and the staff was friendly. The taste was that of the restaurant they own in Colony which we also go to. I notice one thing, before we moved here we had lived in the same town for 60 years and got used to a certain taste. When we moved it took a while to get used to new foods cooked by people from many different areas. Granted there have been eateries that have opened that never should have but I don't think this is one of them. We will be back.
