I had always heard some negative things about this place, like how they may be getting a lot of their ingredients from the dumpster of a nearby Aldis, but even if that is true, I dont care because the food is so good and it is so easy, you just walk in grab as much food as you want and theyll come and bill you. Super easy!!! You dont have to wait for long cooking times, its just all available. The staff was super out of the way too, which is how Id like it in that type of environment.

Went there on a Saturday evening. Food was awful and looked and tasted like it was sitting there for a while. Not fresh at all. So not worth the money. What a rip off. Staff is not friendly at all. We will never eat there again.

Not impressed with the service when I asked for a soda refill she came from behind me with some in a cup then poured that in my glass?? Who does that?

Went to celebrate the birthday of my twin nephews so there were 10 of us. It was 1pm on a Sunday and they werent busy at all. My son got there early to let them know we had 10. They seated us at separate tables! We asked if we could be seated together and she shook her head no. My son asked if we could put the tables together, she said no. There was plenty of room and again, they were not busy, maybe 3-5 other tables. That was very frustrating! It was hard to have conversation or spend time with my nephews which is why we were there!Then, the food, which is usually amazing, was barely warm and some were dried out and crusty. It looked like it had been sitting out since they had opened. The soup was barely warm, like room temperature at best.It was just an overall disappointing experience. We had eaten here often but Im not sure we will be returning anytime soon.As always, Im willing to edit this if I have a better experience next time!

This is not a huge buffet, and selection is limited. But lets be honest, Columbia City is not exactly a booming metropolis. Everything I had was good, and it was plenty to fill me up. Crab Rangoon was especially high quality.

Went in to have dinner. The food was good but there was a couple with 2 kids who got into a very loud very personal argument. This went on for 20 minutes before we left. They were still arguing. The owners never said a word even tho others customers were walking out too.

Staff was on edge. I didnt feel very comfortable eating with my girlfriend. The food was pretty good. Im only giving a 3 star because of the way I felt the staff approached/ treated my girlfriend. The house special chicken is really good. The susie was rolled with Sysco shredded cheese and the wasabi bowl was very crusty and not "refreshed." And for a place to have signs up all over the walls about sanitation I felt like it was just a front. And maybe they are just exhausted because of everything this country has been through the past year and more. I will be back because everyone deserves a second chance. But I dont think that will change my rating. I hope this place gets better. Because everyone loves a solid buffet with quality food in a warm environment. Cheers to next time.

The food and service was good. They have a nice variety and a few American types of food for children that may not eat Chinese style food.

Love the staff they always remember what we drink and the food we like. When we arrive they instantly call back to the kitchen and ask for fresh Lo Mein and broccoli chicken. Just amazed at their memories since we only go maybe 1 time a month.

Good experience for a close-to-home option. Food quality is actually quite good, its only the selection thats lacking. The salad bar consisted of plain lettuce and ranch dressing, and the dessert bar was also quite sparse. Well worth a stop though if you dont feel like driving to Ft. Wayne or Warsaw, and youre not too concerned with salad or dessert. Main course dishes are above par.

They dont have all 3 buffet tables open but food was very good. Service was good. Price is a little high for only one buffet table open.

Just wow. Rude rude rude service.... Asked if I could get plain fried rice because Im highly allergic to the veggies they had in the rice and was told i could pick threw them........ Cant serve your own food so its a nightmare trying to explain what you want cause they dont listen. Yelled at me for grabbing my food tray they had. Yet they told me to go on the other side of the buffet to get it. Told me I could not have but a tiny plastic cup of hot chili oil when I asked for alot and had to argue with them to get more. Not a pleasant experience for a first time customer. I was still eating when I asked for some more crunchy fried noodles for the soup and the woman forced me to give her the one I was eating out of before she would give me anymore. All she did was throw it away. Never asked if I wanted anymore soda only asked my husband if he wanted more water.... Hubby and I are over the road truckers and this is the 1st time in 17 years to experience this low level of service......

By far my families favorite place to get Chinese Buffet.. always clean and the food is fresh. I also like the assortment of food they have. My favorite is either the Jalapeño Chicken or the House Special Chicken.. both are delicious!! If you’re wanting a clean, delicious place to grab some Chinese buffet, this is the place!!

Best buffet in the area. We came from Fort Wayne and will continue to do so because it exceeds the quality of any Chinese buffet in Fort Wayne. The food was fresh and amazing. They put a lot into what they put out and you can tell they care about the quality. They also have a soft serve ice cream machine! Very tasty. Some highlights were the noodles, egg drop soup, fresh fruit, and the house and barbecue chicken.

OMG!!!! Horrible!! Food been sitting out for hours. Soup had skimmed over, rice rock hard and chicken chewy. Had went 3 months ago and wasnt as bad but was not happy then. I figured i would give it another try, my mistake. Will never go back and do not recommend. Customer sitting next us was also not happy. Wife didnt even eat her food, half way through she slammed her fork and rushed to the restroom. Im guessing she threw up her food. They left right away. They also charged me $6.99 for my disabled daughter eating 2 bowls of pudding. DONE! Never never again will i go back. Dont do what i did and give them a second chance.

It is a smaller place so theres not a huge selection on their Buffet but the food that they do have is amazing on their Buffet I order from this place quite often every time I have gotten food it is always been excellent! The only thing I would say is it could use a little bit of updating on the decor but other than that all around a good place to eat in Columbia City.

We love going here. The buffet is appealing to the eye. The food is always very good. They also do very a good job keeping buffet bars stocked and the serving pan full. My only complaint would be that the greeter/seater should smile.

A total disappointment. The smallest buffet Ive ever been to. They had very little to choose from and everything was old and tasted burnt. There was literally nothing that tasted good . Even the ice cream was freezer burnt and my daughters sprite tasted horribe. I wish we would have looked at the buffet before deciding we wanted to eat here, we knew right away nothing was going to taste good.

Just got home from our annual Christmas Eve Chinese food dinner. Hadnt been to this restaurant in a few years. Food ok..some dishes were cold and near empty. We got there at 6:00. Ice cream table...gross... This restaurant needs a good clean up. Wont be going back. I have never publicly given a bad review, but this place needs some TLC and some soap and water.

Good food, good service, good prices. My only suggestions are that they smile a little more, and some food could have been a bit hotter. But NOTHING was bad. And plenty of selections to choose from. Good place to go!

The key to this Chinese buffet is to stop in when they are at peak hours and fresh food is coming up on the steam table. I used to have family in Columbia City and this was a place we stopped in much more often - so while heading back from Warsaw to Fort Wayne the other day, and just after noon, thought it would be worth a try. The place was fairly busy and fresh items were coming up. While the selection is quite limited, what was there was good - better than many of the smaller Fort Wayne Chinese buffets by a longshot. Our table was cleared quickly and honestly I have no complaints. Price is very reasonable and on par with what you find in Fort Wayne. Knocking 1 star off simply due to the very limited selection. This is not fine dining folks - its quick and cheap Chinese.

General Tso chicken and sesame chicken were awful. I feel like throwing up a few hours after taking a few bites of each. Not sure if it was chicken either. Way over priced too. The egg rolls were good but greasy.

Good food on the buffet, with a good price. Buffet is a bit small, and selections rarely (if everchange. Dinning area is run down, and customer service is a bit lacking. However, the food quality and price make this an easy 4 star Chinese buffet.

Food was average but not great. Taste was bland in many cases and "off" in a few. Only one or two items on the buffet were "good" - - the rest were average. The fried rice is not usual style (not sticky and not well fried). Price is decent. Clean enough restaurant but bathrooms could be cleaner.
