We went to eat with friends, apart from the fact that they don't serve you well, it is mandatory to tip the waitresses. They didn't want what I left on the table, they wanted more. It was very uncomfortable for me because I was sitting next to my husband and the waitresses were trying to get the tip out of my husband's pants pocket. I think that's disrespectful. I would never go back there. They demand a lot and they don't serve you and every moment they arrive at your table we haven't even been there for half an hour and the payment receipt was already on the table bad experience not recommended

The food is just alright, not the best Chinese I've had but not the worst either. You can definitely tell when its been sitting on the buffet for a while. The bathrooms are dirty and disgusting! The service is another story, the waitress … More

The food is very good. But this is the second time coming and seen a cockroach. First time it was later in the day they were cleaning the kitchen and moved the soda machine I watched one drop. This time today it's 5:56 it's sunny out and they we directly on the wall by the food. The same cleaning cloth they wipe the counters is the what the worker used to kill it. Sucks they have them my son loved this place.

Good food and cheap. Not amazing but not terrible. If you like it you'll probably like it every time you go after as it's the exact same.

For the lunch price, it’s a great place to grab a quick bite. Dont expect the food to be anything amazing. There are some seafood options but there could be more honestly. The crab stuffed mushrooms were good. Some items are not specified.

Ate here 9/4. Ok buffet. Most of the food was edible. It is the cheapest buffet out of the ones I normally go to (Newburgh and Fishkill) and is the smallest of those ones too including variety. Like that they have a Mongolian grill.
Didn't notice any bugs or cockroaches
Didn't use the bathroom so can't tell how accurate the other reviews about it are.
Service was good. Our server always picked up our empty plates and to see if we needed refills
My actual rating is 3.5/5 (but Google doesn't let you give half stars)

Servers are very friendly and food is delicious, room for improvement is sushi it can be better. Also the ceiling tiles should be replaced, they look awful. Other than that loved the place and came there three times while staying in an Airbnb. More

Visited this place on a Kingston weekend trip. Food was good they have a good variety in the buffet including sushi and dumplings which was actually what I was looking for that night. In my experience Chinese rice in buffets is always bland … More

We gather here monthly as a group. There is something for everyone. Fixed price, no sticker shock. Food is excellant.
Best value around.
I didnt give atmosphere 5 stars as for me I consider atmosphere to be a cozy, romantic setting. This is more like an upscale diner with booths.
Self serve if you order the buffet for food.

Affordable ? Yes
Good food ? Most days it is
Waitresses are a whole other story. They don't bother with you the whole time you're eating. 9/10 times you have to get there attention for a refill. Soon as it's check time they hover over you. They will ask you if they can take your card or your phone to pay for you. Then will wait for your tip amount to go on that receipt. Cleanliness is another story.... does it look clean when you walk in yes.. are there roaches yes. In the side room where they empty out your dishes there are roaches. Are they by the food ? No! Roaches are not always seen by the naked eye in daylight at that. If you're going to eat here just be cautious. I've been eating here last 6 years on and off and this last year I have seen roaches during the day. I cannot speak for the other 3 reviews that are fake people trying to make the reviews go up. But board of health has been called.

Our family has gone here for 15 years! Too long to be putting up with rude waitresses! Waitresses usually block our way and demand a tip which I’m always happy to pay, but today the waitress yelled at Us and said it’s not good to leave food on our plates. We got harassed so badly I was forced to go to the manager to tell hm to talk to his rude waitresses. A customer can’t be blamed if clam chowder is ridiculously salty and some food tastes bad. We willingly paid for it and they probably overcharged my credit card for their heavy tip!

The food is absolutely horrid. We had had a decent meal at nearby Super Bowl Cuisine, and were told that if we liked that we should try Mid Hudson. The chicken was so dry and chewy across the board that most of it ended up in my napkin. The dumplings were almost all thick, chewy dough. My amateurish lo mein is a thousand times better. We couldn't find a single offering that was actually worth eating, and ended up leaving half-filled plates. In an area where it's already hard enough to find good Chinese food, this ranks at the very bottom.

If you’re looking for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank, this buffet is a place you were looking for! With a wide variety of Chinese and American dishes, there’s something for everyone—from crispy egg rolls and lo mein to fried chicken and mashed potatoes. The food is fresh, hot, and constantly restocked. It’s a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner with family or friends. Don’t expect fine dining, but for the price, it’s a solid deal. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving comfort food and plenty of it!
