| - Popped in again for lunch, and everything was solid, as usual.
No this is not outstanding Cantonese cuisine with impressive wok-hei nuance, this is buffet food, but for lots of fried noodles in volume, with an interesting selection of other foods to compliment, this is a solid choice.
Actually, there's been a reasonable number of changes in the prepared food selection since my last visit, including a wider range of dim sum (which was very disappointing in quality) but I appreciated the addition of General Tao chicken which was yummy, and the nice chunks of panko fried Whitefish which was quite good with tartar sauce from the squeeze bottle provided.
Favorites from the past, still available, include tasty Kung Pao fish, stir-fried garlicky green beans, and the yummy deep fried chicken wings.
The Mongolian Grill custom stir-fried food is still excellent, with a great selection of meats, vegetables, noodles, and prefab sauces, as well as all of the individual flavor components of the sauces, plus chili oil, ginger, garlic, etc. so you can custom tailor to your heart's desire.
Yes, the #1 Grill jockey still adds WAY too much water when stir-frying your selection, so make sure you double up your selected sauce quantity in the ingredient bowl, to counteract his H2O heavy-handedness, letting lots of flavor survive his water bath.
The desert selection is unimpressive, aside from some interesting self scoop ice cream flavours, their fun shaved-ice machine with a wide range of syrups and gelatinous toppings, and the chocolate fountain. But the seasonal lack of fresh strawberries made the dipping a little less fun, this time.
All in all, a good visit, and still well worth $15 bucks for a large, decadent lunch.
