So you know by the amount of stars that I already don't like this place. I will do my best to be kind and ignore the not-so-important points like this place looks like a strip club at night. It was in fact, on my own accord that I walked in here - so I have no one to blame but myself. But in all fairness I'd like to throw a quick middle finger to those yelpers to added to the average 4 stars this place has received. That is false advertising people! You are supposed to help a sister out, not walk her into the lions den.
So I walked into Tin-Tin, all glitz and glamour, it looked pretty good! Not to mention there were a lot of butts in the seats - so how bad could this place really be?! I was hungry and really looking for a solid Chinese buffet that I could gorge myself on. We sat down and the waitress took our drink order. We then walked over to the buffet, looked around and made our selections. I started with a few small portions so I could try everything. The pork dumpling was so foul that I literally spit it out into a napkin! I was embarrassed, but the thought of swallowing it was more horrifying. The green beans were SOAKED in a thick garlic sauce, the sesame chicken was chewy - and not in a good way... not to mention the sauce looked like gold jello. The lomein was tasteless. The only thing I did like was the sesame bean ball -- which is hard to mess up!
After our first plate we were so unimpressed that we decided to do fruit/dessert and get on our way. The fruit was mostly hard and I'm fairly certain their frozen yogurt is just flavored ice.
The waitress comes over and hands us our bill. $23 dollars a person?! WHAT!? Not only was this meal disgusting, robbing me of any satisfaction.... now it's robbing my wallet too! It was at this point we looked up and realized everyone was hoarding crab legs and oysters. OH. Wish someone would have let us know that the ONLY reason people came here was for the seafood.... I just wanted a good old fashion Chinese buffet to get full on... is that too much to ask? As a last ditch effort I tried a crab leg and a clam. The clam tasted like they marinated it in wet cat food and the crab was nothing to write home about.
I do NOT recommend this place to anyone, friend or foe.
