What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ I actually don't mind this restaurant. Lots of options to choose from with a decent selection of seafood options. Having hibachi/Mongolian grill is very nice and tasted pretty good. The atmosphere is nonchalant, pretty basic. But you get good value for what you pay. ”
“ Stayed at a nearby hotel who recommended this place. Glad they did! I didn’t know it was very close to the airport. Friendly customer service. The food was pretty good. To be fair I did come in the last hour before closing. So the food on the buffet was not the freshest, but from the items I did choose, it was DELICIOUS! I had fried shrimp with the head on, and black pepper chicken. I will come back during business hours to check them out. Lastly, it was $5.99 a pound for no seafood items, and $6.99 a pound if you got seafood. Total was $20 for great portions. Ambiance is family friendly. Restaurant was VERY CLEAN. If in the area, try them and tell me your thoughts. ”
