Well I don't know Rand but I know Glenn to be a pretty good judge of food until now. Maybe we went on days with different cooks or something. I was very disappointed.
My friend and I could not agree on a place to eat so we thought what the heck check out the new Buffet. Looks the same as the old country Buffet only darker, about every other light bulb was out. Just the feel of this place was off to me. We arrive about 20 minutes after they opened, yet the majority of the items on the Buffet appeared to have been there overnight.
Almost every item I tried was overcooked. Way over cooked. I tried the following:
Egg roll...Yuck!!!!!!
Crab Ragoon....more like a hollow wonton
Beef and broccoli....really how do you mess this up? With bad broccoli!
Spicy chicken..Lets just say I don't think it was chicken
General Tsao chicken.....was just sweet no spice and soggy...bluck
Mongolian stir fry.....ok but not worth the trip
Mushrooms....decent
Fried potatoes...good
Fried rice...crusty no flavor
Fried Fish....good
Fried shrimp...doughy with the vein
some pork dish....don't remember
Rib tips...dried up and no flavor
Wings....of a pigeon maybe
California roll....no flavor, fell apart, and was dry.
Wasabi....no, green paste WTF?
Chinese donut.....Yummy
The seafood was scary looking. I ended up eating fried fish that they had just brought out & fried potatoes and the only reason they have a star is because they have a very good Chinese donut!
I know a Buffet sounds good sometimes but do yourself a favor & drive past this joint! Head to 15th ave and camelback just a few blocks away and visit Peter Wongs! For more details check out my Wong review!
