We're back and happy to be here at this large buffet!! We arrived at the height of lunch. If you can, wait until 1:30pm or later to have lunch. The crowds will have dispersed by then. We did not have to wait but it was very crowded. You have an option to be seated at a booth or table, Each food area is set up logically. Sushi, nigiri and assorted salad and poke fixings at one section. Salad and desserts at one section. Dim sum and soups at another. The hibachi is by itself where you choose your uncooked foods and have the chef prepare it for you. There are still two more tables of food so you won't leave hungry. We all hit the sushi area. Freshly made and constantly being refilled. I like the poke station which also offers various sauces for your bowl. I tried the mango sauce and that was good. The mapo tofu was spicy and good. The fried scallops were tender and tasty. Some of the foods are not labeled so either ask staff or take a chance. The quality of the food is very good. Foods don't all taste the same which is good. I think this is one of the best Asian buffets around especially given the fish, seafood and meats they offer during the lunch hours. Staff are swift to clear the tables and keep the food bins full of freshly cooked foods. The buffet is open on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Huge parking lot and Wi-Fi in the larger stores. , Please note that gratuity is automatically added to the bill. If you wish, you may add more.

I don't really have high expectations when it comes to buffets as it's not normally my go to place to eat. However, my parents have been talking about Number #1 Buffet and their experience so my husband and I thought we would check it out. The family went after church on Sunday so we got there around the time they just opened. We went to the front counter to get a ticket and to inform the staff how many was in our party. The staff were friendly and they seated us right away. The price was reasonable $19 and kids under 2 are free. The Buffet is clean and there were an abundant amount of food choices. They refill your drinks and staff was consistent in picking up dirty dishes off your table. The place was overall huge. I like how organized the place was especially in a busy environment. I love that they have available ice cream you can just grab from the freezer and they have fresh sushi which was actually better than I expected according to my husband. After our satisfying meal there were a whole crowd outside waiting to be seated. I actually didn't expect how much people were waiting outside. Overall experience was great! It was actually fun to go! We did go back a few more times during the week. It was definitely less crowded but still busy. We even ordered a party half tray of mushrooms during Thanksgiving Day and were able to get the tray within 10min of order. One of the staff was kind enough to carry the tray outside to our vehicle because the tray was very hot to carry. I'm sure we'll be back again!

The ambiance was funny only because its claim jumper inside lol with a random neon duck sign holding a murderous knife lol Total for one person with a drink during the week $25 Price is appropriate There are a ton of food options Traditional Chinese Americanized Chinese Sushi selection was good Seafood section was decent too No crab legs during the week Lots of crawfish And fish options Service was good too You pay before you sit down A server comes and takes your ticket and brings you your drink The only unexciting part was the desserts That could use some attention But the salty options were on point ha And you could win a pick up truck lol Seriously It was a fun time for sure

As buffets go-4 stars. This one is huge. You pay when arrive for meal and drink. Then you're seated. So many options. I love the Hibachi grill where you select your proteins and veggies. Then they grill it for you with a choice of hibachi, Teriyaki or soy sauces. I did not try the various chicken feet dishes. There are soooo many choices. Very busy place with dozens of workers. Some of dishes were bland like salmon. Beans were stringy. I will try again.

For $18.99/adult on Friday/weekend with crab legs and decent sashimi quality, I don't think I can find a better deal. Some reviews talk about the 12% service charge, there is big banner at the cashier table that mentions this; I count this as a tip so I won't complain. The wait was 20 minutes on Friday evening and 40 minutes on Saturday evening. It was super crowded; we could hardly find any space to stand inside while waiting. Crab legs were inconsistently salty. They were abundant on Friday but were very limited on Saturday (each batch comes out every day 20 minutes); maybe it was because there were more customers on Saturday. However, what makes me come back here multiple times are the decent quality sashimi, with fresh and thick salmon cuts, and the best egg custard cakes ever. My tip is to come here early at 5pm to avoid the long wait.
