great selection of Chinese food!!. I went to the lunch buffet about 2PM, not crowded. 2 large buffet lines-all trays full with a GREAT selection of hot items, salad bar & desserts & beverages for $8.00

What a deal! I will definitly become a regular!!

One of the best chinese food buffets in this town!. I really like the big blowup slides of places in China etc - and because they are lit from inside they are like windows on the world and I think this is a nice touch, rather than a plain old painting.

I have been to this place many times and at different times of the day. Your best bet is to go around 2-3pm or after dinner hours, to miss the meal crowds.

Do ask for a frequent diner card and collect validates for a freebie after 14-15 stamps or so....I wish you didn't have to get your card stamped quite so often before getting a freebie, but then again that's just me I guess.

They have a good array of item choices and its all good food. My favs are wei wu beef and the boneless spare ribs.

Napkins, silver, butter, ketchup etc are clearly and centrally located for self-select...its rare for them to be out of stuff as they do a great job of keeping everything topped up. You get a choice of silverware or you can go native with chopsticks. They are very quick to take your dirty dishes and quite a friendly, helpful bunch!

The only real complaint I have of this place is that salad and fruit choices could be more and better. One complaint I note of chinese places in general, is they tend to not have plain bread or rolls but rather lean more to the sweet side with little cakes & cookies. They also don't do potatoes as a rule, generally just french fries or sliced/fried. I rate this a great TC dining experience!

Excellent Chinese Buffet. This is the best Chinese buffet in the Saint Paul area I have been to. Sometimes you just want to go to a Chinese buffet, and this is your place. The food is excellent, staff was very friendly, and a meal is under ten bucks. Highly recommended.
