| - Possibly a 3 star, it's all credit to the waitress.
Within an hour of opening the door for the day, they already sold out of the clams? They should use a better excuse.
The oysters came on top of a huge pile of ice. Funny thing is they give me two small fork in different size, do they expect me to share? If so, why the fork in different size?
Is it just me or they should disconnect the oyster from the shell so the people can just slurp it? It's not that hard for me to pry it off the shell, but why?
The waitress kindly remind us that we can have the salad first as it's AYCE, but as we walk in I can see that I don't like the selections, why bother?
We asked her to serve us the soup, the lobster bisque comes in a metal bowl in a wooden bucket/holder(?) thingy, which gives me the impression of being dirty. The bisque itself taste like a creamy soup, no lobster meat, couple small potato cubes, and onions, so much like a chowder. (Remember, they don't have clams.)
The 8oz ribeye steak arrives, with half a red potato, 1 piece of broccoli, a half a stick of carrot, and a bunch of raw alfalfa sprout.
Where to start?
The raw alfalfa sprout was so overpowering that I have to check and see if the broccoli or carrot are raw too.
The carrot seems to be cooked through, but it is so hard. The broccoli is the same, the texture is like raw, but doesn't taste raw, really strange.
Red potato was definitely cooked, yes, I am sure.
The steak, almost smaller than the potato, was completely without seasoning, NO SALT AT ALL. Of course that means it has no flavour what-so-ever.
They put a small dish of sauce on the plate, even dipping the steak in it doesn't help, still need salt.
Also, medium-rare usually means it's bloody in the middle, the outer edge being pink; the medium-rare I got was part rare, part medium.
So I guess medium + rare = medium rare...
My wrist are tired as the small salt shaker makes it so hard to get some salt on to the non-seasoned steak. (Break-time for 15min.) (the vegetables are not seasoned too)
Dessert was named Day & Night deluxe dessert or something, but it's just ice-cream.
(Well, what do you expect?)
Usually restaurant would serve a glass of cold water if the guest doesn't order drinks. But some how they serve hot water.
AYCE salad + soup + steak = $25+tax
AYCE salad + soup + oyster(6) + steak + ice cream = $34+tax
Would not come back. Damn those commercial on Chinese tv.
One more thing, it's horrible that the plate keeps on moving on the glass table. May be the steak knife not doing it's job, but a glass table plus a moving plate, worst idea ever!!!!
Please ignore the decor, music in the background, table being way to close to each other, way too dark as a restaurant (or anything)...
I would come back because of the waitress, but I would suggest another place when someone is buying me dinner.
