  After spending an hour waiting for my car in Walmart, my son, who drove to Walmart to meet me, and I needed to eat. I drove on Vest road to the main road, and this was the first place I found.
  
  My son loves Chinese buffets, so we decided to stop here. it is beyond fancy. There are tears in the booths, and in the rug, the place needs to be repainted. There is an odd gold fish pond with over sized gold fish in the back of the restaurant. It was simply, bizarre. it was in a loose tarp type pond....very weird.
  
  The food, though, was good. The crab ragoon had real crab, there was several shrimp entrees, and chicken entrees. I don't eat any other type of Chinese food, so that and the green beans (kind of sweet, and very good). They had a steady stream of customers, and they replaced food atleast 3 times while I was there.
  
  They are in desperate need of an update and make over...please...before I ever return. There's a couple of places, but I found this one first.
  
  Marshal's a small town, and all the place might be this way, but I doubt it.

  oh my god.
  i ordered to go and they delivered at good timing but the food was horrible. I ordered the shrimp noodles and orange chicken w fried rice and crab Rangoon.
  The noodles i got tasted like sink water and the shrimp has no flavor at all. The chicken was edible but i found an egg shell on the outside. I'll show in picture. the crab rangoon was disappointing. I've never spit out a crab Rangoon in my life.
  Do not order to go from this place. it's a waste of money cause i spent $17 for garbage.
  I usually don't give bad reviews but this was so disappointing.

  This was easily the worst buffet/restaurant I have ever been to.  Half of their food was dry and overcooked and the other half was just "eh".  They charged full price for a ten year old (who ate hardly anything).  To be honest, if given the choice, I wouldn't have paid half of what they charged for the food, it was awful.  When food is good, I'm willing to pay well for it, but this food was not worth the penny my son found on the floor at Wal-Mart.  
  
  Examples:
  
  They had mozzerella sticks (don't judge, we had a little one who likes to eat them) but when you bit into them, it was like they'd been sitting out since two days ago.
  
  There was a crab dish just covered in cheese.  I didn't care for it, but really, it just didn't make any sense.  
  
  The cream puff was a piece of hard puff bread filled with even harder cream.

  Lunch buffet was good. They have Springfield style cashew chicken.  They do have an odd water pond in side but I don't see the negative things that others reported.  Would definitely go again.  Springfield cashew chicken is very close to what you get in Springfield. The sauce is slightly different.
  I went a second time and it was not as good. I have removed a star from first review and 3 stars are questionable.
