"The Fried Chicken (sm) was well seasoned and the Chicken Soup (0, 0, 0) was very flavorful. I love that they actually follow note instructions (I asked for no dumplings in my soup and gravy on the rice). The portions are good and they make sure to staple the bag and your food container, its definitely reinsuring to know they make it very hard for someone to tamper with your food. "
"The oxtail was huge and kinda tough to me . No flavor at all , the rice and peas was not good either , I taste no flavor nor coconut milk . Stop buying lunch from here , only the cornmeal porridge I'll buy going forward."

"I just Love the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls! Sometimes there are in a serving but more fairly consistant. Its like eating a Sloppy Joes inside a rolled thin Spring Roll. Doesnt seem like it would be filling but it is. I think for the quality, it is worth the charge. I recommend it! I also get the Kids' Quesadilla which I have Chicken or Plain since there is so much cheese. Great finger food and no oil which is good. "
"I sure do like these Cheeseburger Spring Rolls and tonight's were no exception. Less Greasy and overfilled, they taste fresh and fill you up. I have ordered in the past and will continue to Think of Burger Bites or a less spicy Sloppy Joe's. The Kids' Quesadilla had a nice amount of Cheese and not greasy at all. I sometimes order with Chicken, just depends on how hungry they are. I would have provided pictures but we were so hungry by time we got the food, we got too busy!, lol. We had the easiest Desert of 3 scoops of Vanilla Bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream so 1 scoop each. You are given some wipped cream to top them off and boy were we satisfied. Problem were that the Utensils came unwrapped and I would not eat from them. I also noticed that with every meal, you are given 1 loaf of Italian Bread (was missing tonight and the wrapper was open, (Dasher must have been hungry, and a loaf of Black Bread (that's what I call it anyway). We give 5 Stars out of 5, and know we will be back for more."

"So this is more for me than anything so I know not to return... first it's basic Chinese buffet food even ordering online it's individual dishes but not cooked to order the food was definitely sitting on the buffet under a heating lamp the shrimps were dried out even the ones with sauce the ones with the skin were dried also and most the breading was missing and/or gross from sitting 2nd especially considering it's basic Chinese buffet it's priced way too high the "large" was $24 it's standard Chinese Togo container except at reg Chinese food it's packed so tight they staple it closed and is average $15 this was much less for 24 so definitely not worth it to me regular Chinese restaurant cook it to order fresh give almost twice as much and cost about half the price ... for comparison I called to see the buffet price 38.95+tax so over 40/pp plus tip if it's really mainly seafood maybe it's worth it if u catch it fresh but we go to a buffet in northern westchester only 28 and always fresh seafood"
