Lucky Buffet - Independence

This place doesn't quite have as many buffet tables as Mama Garden to the west of it, but it does have some mighty tasty fare and it's cheaper. It also has egg fu yung, which I adore, and seaweed salad at the sushi bar, which I also really like. Plus it has baked egg custard cups which are amazing I'd never had them before. And it also has clams and mussels and coconut shrimp and General Tso's Chicken and the other things you've come to expect from a Chinese buffet. The wait staff is very good, and I enjoyed the dining experience very much. I believe it's a full $5 less per person than Mama Garden. And that's always a plus! I'll be eating here again.

Before you leave make sure to keep your receipt. A man that work there accused me of trying to leave without paying. When I first arrived, I asked a lady if they accepted debit/credit. She said yes would you like to pay now? I said sure! I was there with my three daughters ages 10,9, and 7. At first she rang them up as adults. This was my first visit so I assumed they didn't have a separate price for children. Then I guess she took a better look at them and asked me their ages. It brought the price down $10+. The food was okay. The booths are kind small. As we were leaving and chatting. A man stopped me like hey! You needed to pay! I told him that I already paid the lady and what the total was. He didn't believe me. Didn't ask the lady or anything. Thank goodness I had my receipt balled up in my hand. It had gotten wet. I'm thinking to myself I paid when I came in so what is he even talking about. Most buffets you pay before you eat right? But now I'm thinking that when I came in with my family that they assume me and my three kids were going to skip out on the check so they had me pay before and everyone else after. It didn't feel like a misunderstanding. I know they don't care but I will not be back.

A group of 9 and didn't have any problems sitting together. Food service gloves provided for the buffet. The food had flavor and kept hot. The staff didn't appear to be concerned about the plates stacking up on almost every table and forget asking for something extra. I didn't see the price posted anywhere and didn't know the drinks were extra until going to the cashier. The women's restroom was a mess. We all agreed that we wouldn't come back.

I eat here very often it's close to my working place. Good food! Never dissatisfied! I love this sushi selection! It's cheaper than than place!! And good atmosphere! highly recommended

After being seated within a few feet (less than 6) from the ice cream, we had a big come out into the table. We notified the server who proceeded to smash the bug on the table and tell us it wasn't a big deal. After they had a little conference about what to do , the lady came back offering a discount . We refused to pay and promptly left . The family behind us who had just played food also overheard what was happening and left at the same time . Health dept will be notified . This is gross .
