    Used to be good way back in the day. Things got weird. The food is all really dry and gross like it's been left on the buffet forever. Way too expensive for such terrible quality. The place is old and not very clean. It could really use a remodel.

    But that aside, I witnessed some incredible stupidity by the owner while I was there. He was harassing diners about whether or not they believed in God, started saying we should kill all the gays and then started talking about England's Constitution and what it says about gay rights and Muslims, etc. England doesn't even have a Constitution.

    It was just really weird made-up-on-the-spot politics that was extremely inappropriate to harass guests about. It was almost like "if you don't believe what I do, get out." I guess that's their business so they can run it how they want, and it's my prerogative to leave the review I think such treatment deserves.

    The lemon cheesecake is good when they have it, though.

    This place has the worst chinese food in the state. Yuck,yuck and double yuck. And dont leave tips because the owners take them,the waitstaff never sees a tip, the greedy owners take all the tips. ( someone needs to call state authorities because this is against the law) I will be checking and if this doesnt change and owners continue this, I will call authorities. Are the owners claiming these tips? Probably not! Again, against the law.

    Ok I tried it twice. Once from the menu once from the buffet. All I can say is don't bother! Terrible is a compliment.

    I used to live in Salem and ate here all the time. Back then it was awesome. Well, it seems it changed owners a few years back and now its horrible. I've tried it twice the last couple times i was there. I feel fortunate i didn't get food poisoning and die. Everything on the buffet was cold and appeared to have been sitting there for days. One of the waiters was asleep; the other one was walking around filling up people's drinks while smoking. Only in Salem i suppose.
