Where to Visit

Visitor Testimonials (2607)

My family and I came here for dinner after a long day of outing and this place did not disappoint. Everyone here was polite and friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. The place served up a wide variety of delicious dishes, desert and drinks. Parking is available and the price is reasonable. We will definitely come after when visiting Schenectady.

First timer for the lunch buffet. Went with three co-workers. All three gave it five stars and have been here multiple times prior. Solid four star place for me. I'm not a buffet type of guy, but thought it was worth a try. The chicken wings were pretty good for not being served at my local tavern with my favorite hot sauce. The white rice was nice and sticky and very, very good. The various chicken and beef I tried was also pretty good. Finished with the soft serve ice cream which was nice and dense and very cold. Overall worth a lunch or dinner visit if you are in Schenectady.

Very good selection for food. Great taste/flavors. Price was very reasonable. Beautiful and clean. Very spacious with tables for large parties.

Big buffet with a large variety of items. Also has the hibachi grill so you can have a fresh plate of custom food made too. Not many places have this. I would say the food is a solid B+. Some items were very good, some items were average, some items not the greatest. Overall most things were pretty fresh it’s just some items simply had no flavor.

My husband likes this place so we do go hair maybe a couple times a month lately. The food has been good and the service has been good, but I have been there when the service has not been good where I paid by credit card and she didn’t see no tip on the credit card and she said to me no tip, which I usually always give a tip in cash. I still gave them a tip, but to tell the truth, I didn’t want to give them anything. After that statement.

We go here fairly often. It's very clean and the food is very good. Of course. I always get the same each time. Baked spinach. Seafood casserole. Chicken and broccoli. Green beans. Shrimp. They clear your plates constantly and are very friendly.

This was an absolutely stellar Chinese buffet in Schenectady. New York. Wonderful staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Food was hot. Fresh delicious! Had a wonderful variety and selection available. I would highly recommend the Sunday dinner buffet to anyone in town. It is also priced correctly for the area per person. You would be hard-pressed to find a better. All. You can eat meal in the Schenectady area. I tried their fried dumplings. They were fantastic. They had roast pork shoulder which was amazing. Their seafood selection was excellent, fresh and delicious. I would also highly recommend their sushi. It was well prepared and presented well to the consumer.

I enjoyed this place. There are. Several choices here which made it easy to decide what you are going to do. I did not like how I could not Have a 2go bag with the few things I had left. The food was good and filled up my belly
