| Drinks are served while you wait in line to pay for entry, but the waiters are usually pretty good about checking for refills. If you want to leave a tip but don't have change, you can ask for extra cash from your credit card (sometimes they will ask you first).

| |
| *The Tuesday kids' special is great for families -- kids under 12 (or is that "12 and under?") are 99 cents each (drink included? not sure)[Kids drinks are always free except when the get a larger to go cup we charge 43cent for the cup]
| |
| *Quality of most dishes is not always quite right, e.g. one time the stir-fry chicken was rather dry, and last time we were there (2005-07-19) the "dirty" rice was a bit hard (either undercooked or sat out too long) -- but the buffet has so many choices that I've never gone away unsatisfied.
| |
| *Tends to be very busy around lunchtime on weekdays; waiters will usually handle the seating for you during busy times. Other times they will let you seat yourself.
| |
| *Certain tables are positioned so they get a strong, continuous blast from the A/C in hot weather -- which can be refreshing if you're hot, but tends to make the food get cold very quickly. Sit away from the buffet to avoid those seats.
| |
| *The walls are decorated with a lot of historical photos of Durham from the late 1800s onward; wish they were on the web somewhere...
