| - I am rating this four stars--keeping in mind that it IS a buffet. If it were a typical restaurant, it would really only get three. Lets be real, there is a different standard here.
My sister likes non-raw sushi and Chinese buffets, so this was a great place to take her for her birthday. She was quite happy with the meal. I was satisfied--especially given the price.
There were maybe 15 types of rolls out, but a third were filled with "Krab". Not my fave, but she said they were pretty good. Several of the others just had too much goop and just didn't make me want to put it on my plate. The one roll that stood out was the Mango roll--very tasty. The fish was pretty fresh, but many of the rolls were just kind of sloppy, with the over saucing and loose rolling. Even with all of that, it was surprisingly good for less than $15 a person, AYCE.
My sister was excited about the crawfish, but after reading another review I told her not to get too pumped because she used to live in Louisiana. She actually said they were better than some of the Cajun restaurants she's been to in the area--but could use a bit more kick.
The other buffet items were 80% hit and 20% miss. Most things were fresh and had good flavor(seaweed salad, green beans, chicken skewers). Some were disappointing to see(baked Krab salad with cheese, crab shells stuffed with Krab and cheese, mussels covered in...cheese) and some that were just downright awful(ugh, the cakes!).
Service was very efficient and friendly, though.
If I had to choose to eat at a buffet in Madison, this would probably be it.
