"Hua Mei a gem!!! Love their Buffets. Great food, reasonable prices, sometimes hard to find parking. Wait ladies are courteous and attentive. Clean. Handicap accessible. Closed on Wed. They also do take out. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed."

"Friendly, quiet, easy to get to. Right off the I-19 freeway at Exit 17 in strip mall next to Garretts supermarket. Great dishes we always enjoy: Beef and Broccoli, Sesame Chicken, Spicy Garlic Chicken. Buffet at mid-day, but we always order a couple of items off the menu to share accross the table since service is very quick and portions are large. Provecho!"
