| - I have been here three times in as many weeks. It is relatively new. Not the building, itself just this restaurant. Yummy Buffet boasts very affordable pricing for a very expansive lunch or dinner buffet. The choices are really diverse, from sushi, sashimi, fresh stir fry, typical Chinese standards and not so typical- yet traditional Asian specialty dishes. There is a lot of seafood and fish offerings as well as a good sized salad and desert bar. With everything to choose from it is not surprising that there would be a few missteps. On my first visit, I am kind of overwhelmed by the array of options. I settle in with things I am familiar with first- chicken satay, kung pao, sesame chicken, crab puff, more chicken stir fry and some baked salmon. All of it was remarkably tasty and enjoyable with exception of the crab puff. Something strange and a little fishy. No problem- the rest is really good! I return for seconds hitting a few other tables where there is peel and eat shrimp, pot stickers, egg drop soup, steamed broccoli and long green beans- again- all is going down well. The crappy crab puff is erased from my mind. I finish with pride, some banana pudding with vanilla wafers. Yum! My friend tries the white tennis ball looking thing from a pot. he says it is a very traditional desert. I watch as he bites into the un food like object. Inside it I see what looks like light purple jelly. MMMMM???? okay- He says it is good and finishes it. Fun Fun I go back to my yummy creamy yellow slick in a bowl. Approved! Not only was the food and service better than expected, I did not get sick! Yay! 4 stars
My second visit -another success- even the crab puff tasted normal and good! 4 stars!
My LAST visit- I knew I was pushing this too far- sure enough- it was lousy this time. inedible, even! What happened? This time every piece of chicken had some type of hard grizzled appendage or hidden extremity. I went through several napkins as mouth fulls were discarded. I am so disappointed. I will never come back- even if it was an off day- I will never take that chance again, UNFORTUNATELY.
