| - 2 1/2 stars to give them a little bit of credit. Really, this Chinese buffet is a MEH. And I like to eat at my cheap Chinese buffets! The food for me just isn't up to cheap eats par...I can't explain it.
The decor of this place is funny because it doesn't exactly scream Asian or Oriental. The restaurant I think used to be a steak house of some sort and it shows. The colors and everything kinda remind you of a log cabin. Talk about confusing! You'd think you were going to have some kind of Asian fusion cuisine. Unfortunately it's far from anything like that. Service is ok, fast on refills for your drinks, just don't expect lots of smiling faces and casual banter.
I've been there for lunch a few times and it's just good enough to maybe get you full. The food is standard of what you would find in lots of Chinese buffets here in Vegas, Beef Broccoli, Won Tons, Egg Drop Soup, Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, salad bar, sushi bar, and a tiny dessert bar. Of course you have your required Cheese Pizza here at the restaurant (which is always very cheesy), and there is a stir fry station where you can concoct your own creation and that's not too bad. There are a few different items there, such as Fried Frog Legs. They have these Fried Chicken Wings which are excellent (I think because of the sprinkling of MSG afterwards) especially with a squeeze of lemon, and a dip in some ketchup. Just make sure to get them while they are fresh out of the oil and piping hot.
If you eat lunch on the weekend at Pacific Buffet it's an all day dinner menu so you do get things like New York Steak, oysters, and crab legs. However, the rest of the standard fare is well....just standard. The quality for me just isn't there! And I have low standards at a Chinese buffet! Most of the food is mediocre, and often times it tastes like it's been sitting there under the heat lamp just a little bit too long. And don't get me started on the sushi station. I get a wee bit scared when your sushi is just a shade over room temperature. Salmonella, start your engines! Just not my thing. If you're going to eat here keep an eye out for the freshest trays of food that come out from the kitchen, it's your best bet. If all the food was rotated more often, I could see the ratings go up a bit.
We continue to go there only because it is the closest Chinese buffet to our place. The prices are reasonable, around $7 for lunch on weekdays and $11 for dinner. Saturday and Sunday is all day dinner menu for $11. Drinks will set you back a little over $1 per person. It's funny because they have had their 'Grand Opening' sign outside their doors and it's been almost a year now since they've been open.
Really, only go here if you're in a pinch and feel like living dangerously every once in a while by risking some food poisoning or trichinosis! Nah, just kidding! Well....I think I am!
