| - As with all Chinese lunch buffets, I aimed to hit it at the height of the lunch rush. I do that for obvious reasons. The more people eating, the faster buffet food turns over and the fresher the food is on your plate.
I should have known this was not going to be good when I walked in at 12:30 on a Friday and only saw about 10 people scattered throughout the restaurant. I sat down with the intentions of hitting the buffet up for some of my favorite dishes, General's Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Crab Rangoon, Egg Rolls, Sticky Steamed Rice amongst a few. I was severely disappointed upon returning to the table and taking my first bite. Everything was cold. I mean the kind of cold that makes you think your are eating leftovers from the fridge. The rice wasn't cooked thoroughly and had that crunchy around the edges taste. The cream cheese filling in the Crab Rangoon was not only cold, the whole Rangoon seemed to be a warmed over two day old version.
I'm a cook, and while I'm not trying to be overly critical, I know when something is two days old and reheated. That's how most of the buffet tasted to me. I would probably skip this one. It may be different for dinner, but based on the location, I highly doubt it.
