| - Had the opportunity to visit China City on Saturday, 8/30, early evening (around 6:00 pm).
Now ... I have been here probably 20 or 30 times over the past several years. It was great (in the beginning). As time has gone by, the quality of the food, the presentation and the physical decor had diminished.
Last night, unfortunately, it was a new low. One of the major reasons that I go here is that they serve crab legs on the buffet. Last evening, being there for an hour, the crab leg pan was refilled ONE time - after 8 people were standing around it waiting. I left about 40 minutes after that, and it hadn't been refilled.
In fact, MOST of the steamer pans were left to go almost empty. Also, the heat of the steam tables didn't seem up to temp either - had a very luke-warm bowl of the Hot & Sour soup ... guess what ... it was from the bottom of the serving container. Do I detect a theme here?
The sushi that I had, while it used to be rolled nice and tight, was all falling apart. I will say, that the variety of rolls has gotten better since I first began visiting, though - I think there were more than 12 different rolls available last evening.
Teriyaki chicken, on a stick ... that chicken never even saw a bottle of the teriyaki sauce, much less had any on it. Fried Shimp ... WAY undercooked and mushy coating (shimp inside was cooked though).
All in all, I may have to reconsider visiting here any more. I have been to several buffets that are currently better than China City is now, but I won't name any names - not fair to China City.
