I came for lunch and was really pleased. The food is really flavorful. It’s pretty standard for Chinese buffets, but they also have a good sushi selection. The staff was really friendly and you can tell they are happy to work here. Great place to people watch.

Buffet in a Desert? too good to be true.IT WAS AWFUL, $13+/person on a Tuesday afternoon. All chicken dishes were floating in 2 inches of water and did not have much chicken in them, just fried dough, it was so hard and gross, the plate of food in the photos is my photo of the BAD CHICKEN. of course veggies, fish, salad bar, dessert and noodle dishes were okay. the sushi bar was decent for a Chinese place. ***I would order To-Go and have them make 1 of your favorite dishes. The employees care little about the place. As always, the bathrooms were nice, Asian places keep their restaurants clean and well decorated.

Writing this review with my stomach and heart full. After roaming around West Texas on a road trip I was in Carlsbad for the Caverns and I was craving for something close to my Indian taste palates, my hotel help desk suggested this place and I am glad they did. This place should probably the next best thing in Carlsbad, most variety I've ever seen in a buffet, if you're in town this is a must visit restaurant. And if you don't like asian food they do have pizza, breaded chicken/shrimp and other stuff included in the buffet.

The staff is amazing and were always eager to help. The food was good for a buffet, but nothing more. I tried a taste of everything that looked interesting to me. I managed to get a piece of fried catfish fresh from the kitchen and that was by far my favorite thing.

I'll start by saying I would eat there again. It typical buffet style food. See attached pictures for quality. My only reason for a 4/5 star review: The Sushi Ginger. I don't know what was on it, what was wrong with it, or what it even was but I felt as though I could have vomited up my dinner.

One of the best places to eat in Carlsbad. The food is always of very good quality. I eat here quite often, because no matter what I'm in the mood for (except Steak) they have fare for every craving. All your standard Asian buffet dishes , with green beans , corn, and crawfish along with a ton of other items. The staff is always very friendly and very on top of their service. My drink never makes it to half , bc the wait staff is always prepared to refill. Great food, great staff, great value!

If your driving through or staying in Carlsbad NM, you should try this place! It's a great deal for a large variety of Chinese Food, fresh, maintained selections you're sure to appreciate. That staff was excellent and ready to assist customers. Very professional and friendly. The restaurant was a large building with room for everyone. The food I selected was wonderful. Easy access from the main "north south" road through town. Prices were reasonable and all you can eat buffet.

Food is good when fresh which it's pretty often when we are in the area..I particularly dont care for the server asking .every 10 minutes if everything is ok or standing nearby just staring at people eating..it gets annoying. If I need something I will definitely will get hold of you.

Food seemed fine until we noticed the live roaches walking on the ledge beside our table. Gross! Brought it to our servers attention and all he said was "oh yeah, our boss trys to spray but can't get them all." Then the whole group of staff stood staring at the broken ceiling tile for quite awhile above our heads as if they know EXACTLY where the roaches are coming from. Nasty, nasty, nasty!! Do not eat here in this filth.

I always get the black pepper chicken. Every time I'm there. It's unreal. Place is generally pretty busy but staff is helpful. Restaurant is generally clean too, despite the filthy clientele you see coming in wearing muddy oilfield coveralls and gross boots. But whatever...they're paying customers too, even if they have no social etiquette. As far as the restaurant goes I have no complaint. Though I wish they served ginger beef 🤤

Service and food was okay, I was very DISGUSTED when I found out the soup I had just eaten had been covered in MOLD! I’m not one to ever write reviews, in fact I’ve never written any review. I will upload a picture. When I had told the server, he had just taken it to the back and told me, “oh it just hot” but it was clearly mold, so I’m assuming they had reused old soup from previous day(s). I’m all about not wasting food, but maybe they should check food before serving it again and again.
