  For a small town Chinese buffet, you're not going to find better. I frequently drive 40 minutes to eat here over my local Chinese places. Their buffet is not the largest, however they make up for it with quality. They also have some of the lowest prices in North West PA and do not charge you for your fountain drink. A couple can get a buffet for less than $20 even at dinner.
  
  They have fantastic Singapore chicken. Their General Tso's will not be what everyone is expecting as it has a lighter, sweeter sauce with fruit undertones--if you eat it without expecting the more common, darker and more bitter sauce, you'll be blown away by this different take on the dish. They have a limited, but fine variety of sushi. Their broccoli and chicken is much more tender and more robust in flavor and appearance then many of the sad offerings of this dish from other local places. Their Mongolian beef/chicken and zucchini chicken are also good. This is also one of the few places in NW PA that makes a sweet and delicious honey chicken that doesn't taste just like ketchup mixed with honey, like so many others.
  
  Like any Chinese restaurant, it will have faults. Chinese food is best fresh, so judging something that has been sitting out a bit is unfair. Assuming that it will be as big as city restaurants is unfair. Sometimes the quality varies some, however they are consistently worth the drive.
