| - It was probably the night we went but it wasn't as amazing as I expected it to be from the reviews.
Thanks to the reviews, we listened to the tips about Monday night at 5pm with no wait. We had a baby with us so lines don't go well. By about 6pm, we saw a huge line formed already.
There is a huge variety but more isn't always better. The meat section is definitely the largest I've seen but everything I had there seemed over salted and dry. They said it was because of a southern style of cooking, which really isn't an excuse in my opinion. I've had better buffet prime rib at Paris and the World Carnival one in Rio. Never had ribeye, ribs, or brisket at another buffet but they were dry and tough when we were there.
Interesting variety that they have here are: pho (I only got it to try it, its okay), horchata (which i enjoyed), dim sum area. Don't need to bother with the dim sum area. Probably because we were early and the things were sitting out longer but the steam got all their items soggy.
Deep fried things were good: calamari, yam tots, waffle fries, but a little salty.
I mostly enjoyed their desserts. Mochi ice cream is good but they do run out periodically and have to wait for more. Their creme brulee I felt was good but too deep. It was a wrong proportion of the top sugar crust to the rest, which I've had better at the Paris buffet. Macaroons were good as well.
Overall, it's good but not sure if it's worth the $46 we paid. Good service, good variety, but not necessarily the best tasting in one place.
