2 1/2 stars. We went right when they opened so everything was fresh. Food was decent but nothing spectacular. It's pretty hard to find a buffet period in the area. The restaurant was very spacious and the buffet was very clean and had a lot of variety. I would come back if I was craving a Chinese buffet.
Decent price for "all you can eat".
As far as all you can eat buffets, this is probably one of the better ones as far as variety, quality, and taste – even if they've regressed with those – in the Lower Westchester area. I say regressed, because last time I was here about 5 years ago, they seemed to have a few more options all around and things tasted a little better than they did just a few days ago – though still edible enough as long as you know you're eating take-out/fast food and NOT restaurant quality. Those coming in expecting this is a classy restaurant need to do some research before going anywhere. This is Chinese fast food, nothing more. If you want better quality Chinese food, then go to a real restaurant where they make your food to order and you can taste the difference.
For about $8-9 (not including any drink), you can fill your plate repeatedly or about as much as you can stuff yourself with. I've only come in the early to mid afternoons, so I'm not sure about any price difference with dinner. No matter how hungry I've come inside here, I hit my limit earlier than expected and am not sure they put something in the food to make you feel full. It's a pretty decent deal for the food and to be able to stuff yourself and it's worth a trip every now and again to indulge yourself – though you might regret it once you reach your bloat point and feel tired.
The service is just there. Due to some people trying to spend the day there to get both lunch and dinner in a few hour span or for other reasons, they constantly watch you. They will take your empty plate as you grab a clean one for another round. I'm always asked if I'm ready for the check even when I'm not since they're on top of people to finish even though it's all you can eat. Yes, I understand that some ruin it for others and try to camp out there, but it's not everyone. That being said, they've been friendly with me enough for all the times I've been there.
As mentioned, they do still have a decent variety – they added sushi since the last time I was there, though I don't care for sushi so it makes no difference to me. They have desserts, soup, dressings/sauce, and almost as much as you can expect from a basic Chinese take out menu – though not everything.
It can probably get crowded during prime hours, so if you want less people idling at the food with the tongs, you should probably come in between lunch/dinner for your best less crowded time. There's plenty of booths though. You can't take home what you can't finish. I'm not sure if they have take out at all or not, since I've always just eaten there.
There's metered street parking if you can find a space at a quarter for every 15 minutes not passing 2 hours. They only accept quarters or credit/debit cards. There's a municipal lot behind this place, but I'm not sure of the rates. There's 2 entrances – one on Centre Street and the other on Main.
So all in all, a decent enough place to stuff yourself to the point of needing to loosen your belt for a low enough price.
Decent place to indulge on Chinese food. They also have sushi and hibachi. In addition to desserts: sugary as well as fruits.
Parking's meter or municipal parking a block away. There's stores nearby.
2 hour limit stay. No sharing. They charge per person. Lunch and dinner prices differ.
This place is REALLY mediocre.
I have been to a lot of different restaurants all over the world and some are great, some are bad. I have rarely been to a place where it is so mediocre. Queen City is super mediocre.
I love it the fact that it has a great variety of options to choose from. Lots of options for stir fry, soup, sushi, dessert, etc. The thing is that the food is always kind of lukewarm. It is kind of hot when I pick up the food from the tray. The food turns cold very quickly after I sit back down at my table.
I can't really figure out its pricing though. I think it is around $8 for lunch and approximately $15 for dinner. Not bad price at all.
The busboy doesn't speak fluent English and he is really nice. They check up on you pretty often.
I have been here a couple of times and I have not seen this place completely packed. It does have a lot of tables though so I don't imagine waiting for too long for a table during lunch/dinner hours.
