This restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. I was surprised by how nice the restaurant was inside.The atmosphere is lovely, a pleasant place with a great deal of attention to detail. The 1Gyoza are simply perfect, tasty and lightly crisped on the outside, the best I've had. Service is excellent. I had the Philadelphia roll, which was delicious. We will be back to try the hibachi.

My wife and I really enjoy buffet restaurants. We try at least one wherever we travel. This buffet is, I believe, the best one we've ever had the good fortune to randomly select on our travels.Most of our experience is based on 'Chinese' buffet restaurants in the NY/NJ/CT/MA region. Compared to those, the number of different foods served here is better than average. What impressed us most were the types of foods offered and the rare high quality of everything we ate. Most buffets we've been to offer mostly the same options (General Tso's chicken, coconut shrimp, chicken skewers, crab legs, fried rice, lo mein, wontons, braised salmon, 'seafood' stuffed things, a roast, sushi, grill, limited salads, etc.). Those things existed here, but there was much more we've never seen before in other buffets: different types of steamed buns, Italian themed pastas, roasted meats, lobster rolls, and a lot more I can't recall now.Truly, EVERYthing we ate tasted VERY good. If I have to critique, probably the least delicious thing I ate was an egg roll that tasted merely average. The different sushis and sashimis were very flavorful and fresh. The fried foods were crisp outside and juicy inside. The meats were tender and flavorful. The salad selections were fresh and tasty. The grill produced especially delicious fare. The 'Chinese' foods were much better than in most 'Chinese' restaurants. I can't rave enough about how much we enjoyed the food; we ate far more than usual and far more than we should have just because we enjoyed the tastes we experienced.The restaurant was very busy, about 3/4 full, when we ate here, and at no time were any trays of food left empty or gone stale; food was refreshed rapidly. The servers were very attentive as well.This restaurant deserves more reviews so others can know about it too. We just happened to be passing through Scranton on I-81 when we needed supper, and selected this place at random using our GPS/map program (sorry TripAdvisor, we didn't use you that time!). I was dubious that it was far more highly rated (4+) than the usual buffet (3 to 3.5), and I was expecting the usual dingy, stale-smelling buffet restaurant with typical fare. We were so glad we ate here that we considered rerouting our return trip so that we could come here again, as we live far away.

This was our first visit to this place and we were pleasantly surprised. We love Thai food and usually go the Philly for it.We heard from friends that this place had great Thai and Sushi.They're menu is loaded with all kinds of Thai,hibachi,sushi and entree's that we were anxious to try.There's not enough room to go into detail with everything we had but,what we did have was out of this world and true Thai cooking.their prices are very reasonable and affordable.Our server Brynn,was exceptional! She was friendly, very knowledgeable about the ingredients and the entree's.Needless to say we will definitely be back!!
