    We live about an 1 1/2 hours away and it is worth the drive. I am glad that you mentioned the fries because I get laughed at talking about how good the fries are at a oriental buffet. They also have a seafood dish that is awesome. Never had a bad experience. Great review.

    We just left and they were amazing. They have great ice cream as well. The butter pecan was delicious. Thanks so much for your video😊😊😊The price is now $9.95, but well worth it

    I wanted to let you know that I have been coming there for over 20 years and had never heard of this place. I started watching you videos and when my family was there in June we went there just because of this video. All I have to say is that we will eat there every time we come back. Unreal. I coached for 20 years and have seen ever buffet you can see and NOTHING comes close to this. Thanks

    • @VacationStationTV
      @VacationStationTV  3 года назад

      If you haven't tried it how can you say it is bland? I usually pick places that offer good food at a good price. I don't frequent places that just offer off ALL YOU CAN KEEP DOWN. Muckbanging is not for me. Some Tubers confuse QUANTITY OVER QUALITY. I showed this place because it IS good and Tasty. Maybe you should try it before you condemn it. P.S. The restaurant is kept clean at ALL times.
