Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Great spot. Delicious lunch buffet. Nice selection of items. Arrive early as the small parking lot fills up quick. Service was good and options are plentiful. Shrimp, beef n broccoli, lo mein. Peanut chicken was tasty. Sweet n sour chicken."
"This Chinese buffet was delicious. The lo mein and fried rice were a tad light on the seasoning/sauces, but everything was very good. Egg drop soup was a hit. We brought kiddos and they enjoyed the buffet. Clean, nice atmosphere, and the service was good. I loved all of the dishes with mushrooms, broccoli, and chicken."
"This is the first time we ordered from the regular menu and picked it up, and did not get the buffet. We ordered from the lunch menu which came with an entree, egg roll, soup and pork fried rice for under $10. We also decided on a dozen of their dumplings, My brother ordered the Shrimp with garlic sauce and I had Peanut Chicken. The recipes they use for their regular menu are more authentic, I think. When it says an item is "hot", it actually is. The dumplings were really amazing, delicately steamed to perfection and served with a spicy chili oil sauce. They are some of the best Chinese dumplings I have ever had. The Shrimp with garlic sauce had a real kick to it as well, had lots of large shrimp, brocolli and assorted vegetables and was also super delicious. The peanut chicken was very good as well. This is not a spicy dish. The peanut sauce is so good with chicken. I love it. I will definitely order from their main menu again. Everything was excellent and amazing. Get the dumplings!"
"its a buffet thats been around for quite a while, but has changed locations a couple times. get there while the food is hot, too late in the day and you could be gambling. everybody knows the rules."
"First of all infinite fortune cookies but this is what i actually thought! First clean silverware, second their chicken was amazing and shrimp!! Last their bathrooms were clean, I love when places have clean bathroom! BUT the one thing i kinda dont like is when I was getting my little brother ice cream all they had to wash off the ice cream scooper was a medium sized cup with water!"
"Very Clean. Lunch everything was fresh. Nice variety of chicken and pork dishes. Reasonaably priced."
"It's mainly a takeout place. Food always has good flavor and generous portions. Orders filled quickly."
"I ordered the General Tso's chicken. It was hot and delicious and such a large portion that I only ate a third and had two more meals from the leftovers. It was under $11 with tax. Will definitely go there every time I drive through Rhinelander. Service was excellent too."
