    Went to this place again and found it to be better. Everything was warm and the buffet selection is really quite large for a town this size. Competitively priced as well.  The staff are not very friendly or attentive but that doesn't really bother me. Obviously it matters to a lot of people and this is where the new Four Seasons has a distinct advantage.

    My review might be clouded a bit by the fact this buffet carries Honey Chicken which is by far my favorite item.

    In any case you definitely want to go at 11AM for the freshest food as this place has a history of not having the warmers keep the food warm enough.

    For me it's good for the Honey Chicken. Others have obviously given this place lower reviews. It can be pretty hit or miss.

    I don't think Watertown has enough population to sustain two larger Chinese buffets so one of these, either this one or the Four Seasons, is likely to take the majority of the business at some point. It looks like it could be the later.... if I can get them to carry Orange or Honey Chicken on the buffet!

    This place is gross. Dirty dishes had to pick thru silverware and bowls to,find clean. The lady snatched the money outta my hand and was seriously rude. Then the food was horrible. The rude lady sat and ate next to us with a huge mixing bowl of ??? Stared at us and picked her teeth...bathrooms were disgusting...Really bad...

    I had a wonton and egg roll, managed to choke the cold bland food down, then got rice and noodles, took two bites and just gave up, it was not worth trying anymore. that approx $19 dollars for two meals (not including the tip I prepaid) and the equivalent of half a plate of food between us both, and the ensuing stomach ache that followed was definitely not worth it!!!  I am just glad we did not eat all our food, I cannot imagine how sick we would be today!
