| - In the past, I made a review for "Jungle Buffet" (for those of you who aren't familiar, Jungle Buffet was the old "Asian Buffet") and if I remember correctly, I gave a 4 or a 5 star rating for Jungle Buffet.
Unfortunately, whether or not some people say it has or hasn't changed, I myself noticed many changes to the new "Asian Buffet". First off, the price is a tad more. Which is fine, if the food was good, but unfortunately all the good cooks left when JB got shut down. Our food was cold. My mom's brocolli and beef had frozen chunks of broccoli in it. My stuffed crab was luke warm, and so on and so fourth.
From the time we got there, to the time we left it was about an hour, maybe two at tops because we sat around talking... and there was stuffed mushrooms sitting out with only a few in the dish (about 6-10) Those happened to be my favorite, but when I tried one it tasted like it's been sitting out way longer than it should have, so I spit it out. My point is, if those 6 or so mushrooms were sitting out and the only thing that was keeping them warm was some warm water that ONE guy decided to pour on top of it, then I don't want to know how they keep the rest of the food warm/safe.
It sort of grossed me out of ever going there again. I don't see the point of paying more money for food I couldn't even eat because it all tasted odd or cold. Also, the sushi seemed as though it sat out for ages...No thank you. Luckily, I didn't get sick, but I'm never going back there. Which is a shame because that was my number one favorite place to go for a quick Asian food fix.
Sure, they have more of a variety of food now, but at what cost? Cold, old tasting food? Again, No thank you.
Oh, and I know this isn't too big of a concern....but they took down all the Jungle Buffet Decor. I thought that was sooooo pretty an cute. Now it has like 0 decorations up, unless they added some since the last time I've been there. Even the fountain in the front doorway had it's Buddah man missing. Sigh. Oh well. R.I.P. Jungle Buffet. You will be missed.
P.S. Also, for the people who bring their children there, may I suggest a little bit of advice to you. PLEASE..PLEASE, serve your child's food. Don't let them dig out green beans with their hands, lick their fingers and grab some more because you're too lazy of a parent to help your child out, and when the child looks old enough to know better, they should know better. Don't bring your child to a restaurant if you can't keep an eye on them, especially if they are horribly misbehaved and run up to random people's table and reach for their spoons/forks. ----end rant-----
