    LOVE this place. The food is great, and this is coming from someone who grew-up in NYC and therefore KNOWS what GREAT Chinese food is like. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!! Crazy Buffet ALSO has a GREAT sushi counter. 😋 It ALSO has a Mongolian Grill station. You can't beat this place in the area!!!! 🧡

    Food is mediocre. There is a variety of food but no taste. They all taste the same. Sushi was not fresh. I wouldn't recommend.

    Amazing buffet

  • June 22, 2026

    Toda una sorpresa el restaurante, no somos muy aficionados a la comida china pero este sitio nos hizo cambiar de opinión... el único detalle fue que el aire acondicionado del área donde nos ubicaron estaba defectuoso y en realidad hizo calor .... del resto todo estuvo genial.... las chicas que atienden muy diligentes y los baños estaban impecables

    Meat was very bad quality, Chicken is good and seafood is perfect and lots of varieties, i was shocked to pay for my kid a full price as an adult as they measure the kids with there height and he was an inch more than the maximum height of kids that they put, he is a veey pick eater and he doesnt eat seafood at all so i felt i paid too much for a kids meal that doesnt eat seafood and only ate 1 plate of hibachi.

    The food was good but not amazing, but it is a buffet so lower expectations. The service was also on par for a buffet. As for Atmosphere, you get what you get from a Chinese buffet.

    The service was amazing. The food was super delicious. Would highly go back there

    The food was horrible and cold, especially considering we came during dinner time when everything should have been fresh. The service was just as disappointing. When I asked for water, I was questioned and pressured into getting a soft drink instead. You’re required to pay before you eat, and my son, who has always been very tall for his age, was charged as an adult based solely on his height. I explained that he wouldn’t eat much, and he ended up eating only one plate, but there was no flexibility. I couldn’t even finish a single plate because the food was so bad. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.

    Good variety of food. Quality of food is ok.

    This food is soooooo good! I would definitely go back with my family! It taste better than the overpriced restaurants in Disney Springs. My husband loves the meat buns! We will be bringing some back to home next time.

    Horrible food nothing was fresh. And they didn’t want to picture anything out two hours before closing. No sushi nothing for us to eat looked like garbage out to pay for.

    Family of four good just got charged almost $70 for absolutely nothing leaving the restaurant. Children still hungry me and my husband are still hungry. We tried a little bit of everything just to give it a chance it all tasted disgusting we did not eat one full thing got there at 7:30. And the man at the grill said they’re not making no more sushi but there was absolutely zero pieces of sushi on the sushi bar so I went to the lady in the front and we asked are they sure they cannot make no sushi I mean we just paid for the whole experience and there’s not one piece so then after an hour and a half of waiting I asked and she then came back to my table and said we’ll just make you one. What kind of role would you like? After trying the first piece of it it got left on the table as well as we left never received any refills in our drinks absolute waste of money.

    Friendly staff, good variety of food and everything was hot. Went at 6 on a Monday. Good value at $22 including tax for dinner.
