About:The big Buddha statue and gurgling fish fountain appeal to kids, but its blend of traditional Chinese and Polynesian dishes is the calling card. A favorite is the Seafood Bird Nest, a combination of prawns, calamari, scallops and mixed vegetables assembled in the shape of a bird's nest. The Cashew Chicken is another star on the menu. An interesting twist on its tradition is the "Empress Fitness" menu featuring entrees prepared without cornstarch. The restaurant also has a full bar with lots of variations of pina coladas and daiquiris.

    Bad service, food was salty and nasty, not enough variety. Seems like they are trying to rush you out the door.

    Wow! The Cosmopolitan all you can eat buffet is truly unparalleled. With over 20 dishes comprised of everything from kung pao chicken and orange beef to spicy tangy wonton and walnut prawns, the cosmopolitan menu serves to satisfy the taste buds of beef, chicken and seafood lovers. But really, try the walnut prawns. You won't regret it.

    This is how it works:
    1.) You start of the night by ordering some appetizers, but if you're like me, I go straight for the treasure like walnut prawns and kung pao chicken. I mainly order these dishes so I can't exactly remember the rest of the menu. You'll have to find out for yourself.
    2.) Every dish including the main entree is served in smaller portions so everyone can try a bit of everything. And you're still hungry, just order more. The price is set.
    3.) Dessert! Need I say more?

    Service:
    The service is mostly on pace, but sometimes can be a little slower than usual on the busier nights (Friday and Saturday). Waiting for a table on a busy night may take about ten minutes, but the food is worth it. especially the cosmopolitan dinner. Yum!
