  An excellent value.  I'm not a big crab legs fan, but they had them.  Lots of seafood dishes, and many Asian food dishes on the buffet.  I thought it was an excellent choice for a large group with some differing food restrictions for various members of the party, because everyone could choose what he liked best.  A good place to bring a gang of hungry people who like Asian food.  When I went, it was clean, fresh, and delicious.

  Ok 3.5 stars....this is the only place I know that has crab legs (please let me know if u know anywhere else that does). When u walk in ur greeted by a koi fish pond. Selection is good. They have a raw bar. I'm surprised for the price and having crab legs, raw bar, shrimp cocktail that they are still making money. I enjoy coming here. Only issue....crab legs do not come out as fast as I'd like lol. Many times I've had to request for them to come out and I'll wait very patiently for them. If u have the time and rather not pay tons of money for ur crab then it's worth the wait.

  Thank goodness this place had a chef in the back making sushi and hibachi to order because if they only had the buffet trough options this would have been a one star review.
  
  The made to order steak, onion, peppers, and udon noodles dish was hot, tasty, and highly edible. The avocado sushi roll was excellent! If you come here take advantage of having food made fresh. My wife had seafood hibachi and loved it.
  
  The steamer trays we're not very good. Sesame chicken tasted like sugar ball chicken (I'm not sure any chicken was actually in the deep fried sugar breading). The egg drop soup was dishwatery. The fresh fruit was good! The garlic bread was ice cold.
  
  Overall it was clean. Even though it smelled like fish upon entering. Yuck.

  As most of the reviews before me have put it, yes it really is that bad.
  
  My family and I had a decent time here. The food was okay but pretty mediocre, especially when we're all paying upwards to $16 a plate. Most of the meals were cold and tasted a little stale. Some things just didn't look right. Some of the foods weren't prepared and ready out front. The sushi/hibachi section didn't look very well lit or pleasant. The overall setting of the place is okay. The koi pond in the front of the restaurant is what makes up for most of it. You can feed the fish for about 25¢. There's tons of seats so this is a good place to bring a big group of people.
  
  My main, main issue with the place was my experience with the waitress and the restaurant's discount policy.
  
  First of all, the restaurant mandates that your party is out within a two hour limit. We were given our checks about an hour and a half in - mind you, no one has slowed down or finished eating by then so we felt kind of rushed.
  
  Additionally with my family, 4 people should have been eligible for senior discounts since they were over the age of 64. Nevertheless, none of us were. Why? The Imperial Buffet mandates their customers to be AMERICAN CITIZENS over the age of 66, to be eligible for their senior price. We have tried to persuade the waitress that the family members with us were obviously over 66. She said "Okay, I would like to see some sort of proof that you are American Citizens." Okay, seriously? It's not like we could've showed her our license because they don't indicate that we are citizens. She basically wanted to see our US passports or birth certificates as evidence. Now my next question for you is, who would bring their US passport or their birth certificate to a casual Friday night out to eat at a mediocre Chinese restaurant? Apparently everyone who works at this restaurant would. Who would've thought?
  
  Honestly, it wasn't worth the fight with the waitress. Our party paid and left quietly. We will likely not come back.

  This place is flat out dirty and disgusting. It should be shut down by the health dept. aside from cleanliness, the food is dreadful, greasy and flavorless. Avoid at all costs.
