    I go to this place a lot, mostly because it is the only Chinese place in Dayton other than Peking, and it is also the only Chinese place I know that is open on Mondays.

    Some days I will go and the food will be fantastic, but other times it is just horrible and it makes me sick to have to pay 9 dollars for it.

    I will keep going back though because when the food is good, it is a great place to eat. It just has to be caught at the right times during the day.

    I would recommend this place to anyone, and do so often. It is by far my favorite place to eat in Dayton.

    Only Buffet in the Area?

    They have a lock on buffets without driving for 30+ minutes. And they are 1 of 2 Chinese/Japanese restaurants in the town. They have the potential to wreck every other sit down restaurant in Dayton, but (and I never thought I could say this) but their Chinese food has such a . . . greasy feel to it. It doesn't make sense at all I know, but it's true. I have NEVER experienced greasy Chinese until i ate here.

    The customer service isn't great, but that isn't something I actually care about as long as my drink is refilled constantly. Others may care more and will not be satisfied.

    They do have a great and varied selection! And maybe it's only the foods i prefer that seem greasy! They are worth a try and then allow yourself to try them.

    Not what I expected. Spacious, good selection of menu items.
    Cold bar; Raw bar; salad bar, all well-stocked and monitored.

    I'm no expert on Chinese buffets. However, with the exception of strangely bland won-ton soup, everything had a pleasant flavour and was piping hot.  

    The parking lot is level and there's ample room for walkers or chairs.

    Nothing exceptional on the 'scale' but good value, nonetheless.

    This was pretty bad food, awful is more like it. My wife or I neither one could finish a plate. Even the wait staff was pitiful. I always try to find something good to say but it is eluding me here. I hoped the lady at the cash register would ask me how it was, I was sure going to tell her, but she didn't. I didn't want to cause a scene so I kept my mouth shut and register it in my mind that this is one of the worst places I have ever eaten.
