    We stopped here on each trip from Sacramento to Santa Barbara, love their foods and services, the place is clean.  Highly recommended.

    Great variety
    Everything to go is by weight
    Was good overall
    Environment for dine in is bland but it's buffet so hat do you want from a fast food style family setting plain and reasonably priced buffet
    A step up from Panda Express, as is the price
    But not bad so would go again
    4 Stars...for what it is

    PS didn't get sick afterwards

    I Stopped here while visiting the area, food is ok, decent selection although I can't eat 90% of it (gluten free).  What's nice is your drinks are included in the price, a lot of places charge you for the beverage.  it's completely self serve even the drinks u get yourself.
    Sushi did not look great, so I passed on that.
    I don't plan on returning to the area, ever, so this was and will be the only visit...

    Went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon at lunchtime.  The food was hot and the options were plenty.  The hot tea is one of the best hot teas I have ever had! The servers don't really do much except remove dirty plates.  I thought it was odd that we had to get our own drinks and refills.  I thought the price was a little much for the lack of service that you get.  The buffet is maybe worth $3 less, there were 3 of us and it was almost $50!!

    This is a standby kind of default place when we don't know where else to go restaurant. But one that I feel I know well enough after all of these years of going to, that I can write a fair review.

    Each time it is hit and miss. Last night was good. The food was hot and fresh. The servers are always on top of things. Refilling drinks and clearing away empty plates. However sometimes the food is out. Which there were one or two items that needed to be refilled last night. And it was early (before 6).

    Sometimes the food is cold & dried out. At lunch especially. It feels as if the overall message is: "it is what it is" when you come too late.

    Last night for two for dinner & one drink (I just had water) we were surprised that the total came to $34.00. They raised their prices) now the price is 15.00 a pop. Which is about the average we pay to go out and eat. But that is with nicer atmosphere & full service.

    I teetered between 3 & 4 stars & I would give them 3 & a half rather than 4 because of the inconsistency & price hike, but because the food was hot, I gave it to them.

    We always pay 20% tip everywhere we go if the service is good. Even if it's self serve. But I'm afraid the servers are going to eat it on this one.  Which I know is not fair but we definitely did not eat $15 worth of food.
    Granted some people pig out  at places like these. But making us all absorb their extra plates is not fair. Not sure we'll be back too soon. I'd rather go out for sushi if we are going to pay for dinner out.
