| - I live around the corner from TCJ and waited with anticipation for them to open.
Since their opening, I've been to this place... well, at least ten times for sit in all-you-can-eat dinner, and have picked up items to go.
Every single time I am here, I am greeted by friendly and wonderful staff that are always at the top of their game when it comes to fast and polite service. They re-fill my drink as soon as they see it getting low, they remember my sister and I as regulars and always make light conversation with us.
As with most any other all-you-can-eat option, you CAN get charged for food that you don't eat. They serve everything in tiny portions to prevent food waste and if you want more, you can fill out a second or even third sheet or orders.
The portions are perfect for AYCE because they're small and you can try multiple things without worrying about wasting much food - especially if you're there with a larger group of people.
I'm not much into Thai food so I can't give an opinion on that section of the menu but some of my absolute favourite items to order are:
-Sweet & Sour Chicken-
I've always found the ratio of chicken to bread quite good. Most other places give you 80% bread and 20% chicken, whereas I'd say here they give you about 65% chicken and 35% bread - in tiny pieces, too!
-Cheese Won-Tons-
These come with sweet & sour sauce unless you ask them to hold it. They're pretty self-explanatory - DELICIOUS!
-Spring Rolls-
Not really the best spring rolls I've had, but they're decent enough compared to lots of other AYCE places.
-Kung Po Chicken-
Mine has always been nicely spiced - my only gripe is that they came with peanuts. I don't have an allergy or anything, I'm just not a big fan of peanuts. :P
-Beef Chow Mein-
This isn't on the AYCE menu, but I've had an order for pick up and I'd give it a 3.5/5. I've had much better chow mein, but this is good enough! Lots of beef!
-Miso Soup-
As good as I've had anywhere else, the take out containers are huge!
-Shrimp Tempura-
Self explanatory, also delicious! I've been to places with larger shrimps, but here I'd just order more to compensate. :P
-Pepper Steak With Onion-
LOTS of onions and green pepper with this! Steak is always tender and tasty.
As for their sushi, I personally have found their rolls to be a bit dry. I'll typically order a roll or two (avocado rolls for the win!) but if I'm looking to go full on sushi mode, there are other places I'd rather eat.
The dining room has always been perfectly set up and clean when I've been in during the evenings.
All in all, I think this place is great and I encourage anyone to try it at least once!
