I had hot and sour soup yesterday and it was really, really good! It was different from previous versions, many more vegetables and the flavor was perfect.

When my dad took us to an old mall for Chinese food, we didn't have high expectations, however, once we stepped inside Smiley's, we immediately changed our minds. The food was really good, the service was quick and it was the cleanest and best presented Chinese buffet food I've ever experienced. It's predictable Chinese food, but very well executed. I'll be back to Smiley's.

1st time trying and see why it's always busy. Definitely recommend the fried rice. Was super excited about banana pudding until the salt was at the bottom of my bowl. Will go back and give it another try.

Chinese food buffet style, who doesn't like that? Glad I stopped at what I will call, a hidden gem, inside the White Sands Mall. They had about 20 or more dishes and deserts as well. All the ones I tried were delicious and tasted fresh! Don't mind the cashier, he's a young guy who might seem rude, but really isn't. He was pretty helpful, picking up our used plates, etc. The mall where this is at is a dying mall at the moment, BUT don't let that stop you, Smiley's is a good and affordable place to eat. A quick note: if the seating place inside is full, you can sit in the mall seating area right in front. If you're craving chinese for dine in or to go, I highly recommend this spot!
