I love it here The sfaff is so polite. Lemme share my favorite food combinations. They have cooked squash I like to have it with the beef strips cooked with onion and soy sauce and some sesame oil salt and pepper. And the squash again with some vanilla ice cream on top as desert↕ I liked the vanilla,strawberry and coffee ice cream. I loved the clam chowder soup it was so good you have to try it! If you take some mac and cheese and walk to the salad bar and add shredded cheese and go to the mongolian cooking area and add some salt and pepper and some hot sauce and mix, its delish. The brocoli salad is my fave, it has craisins. I add shredded carrots and brocoli, red onion, jalapenos and lettuce and lots of brocoli sprouts and mix. The german cake is probably the best cake there its chocolate with coconut all the other cakes suck. The carrot cake frosting tastes saltylike cream cheese,I do not reccomend. Highly reccomend you ask for the meats they cook for you in the mongolian bowls in the middle. I prefer the female workers at the mongolian area, the male doesn't wipe down the grill and the taste and the food of person before carries over to your bowl when it cooks. They have shrimp, beef, pork, and chicken strips. I really Iiked the fish and rotisserie chicken, they well cooked and well seasoned I reccomend those. They also have a non breaded fish option. I was so disappointed by the baked potatoe, they leave it out for too long and it gets dry Too bad it looked good with cheese and bacon bits. Wish they had serve me a fresh baked potatoe I really want one with sour cream and onion Start your meal with a small salad and then eat meat and then your pasta/carbs and desert. You won't feel as stuffed and can eat longer. I ate so good here today. Bus boys are so nice here they offer to bring you drinks if you have a blue cup He offered me milk with ice for my slice of cake. Best day ever, big back heaven here but you could totally eat keto here if you wanted to. Spent 50 bucks for me and my 2 parents they got a senior discount because they're older.

We would visit Paradise Buffet years ago, and after moving away from the area, we came back, and fortunately, the place hasn't changed a bit. You can get standard buffet food, Chinese, salads, and desserts. Weekdays you can walk right in, but on the weekends, you'll want to give yourself extra time because there can be lines that stretch around the building. 5 out of 5 stars.

We've been here at least three times, and have no complaints at all No matter what time of day, it's always busy, which translates into fresh items on the buffet lines and the salad bar. The Mongolian BBQ is a winner, too! Great value, especially for seniors ... just $10.99 for lunch (before 4pm) and $12.99 for dinner (after 4pm) Monday - Thursday. Large seating capacity, but can be close to full.
