| - I am normally not your typical seafood fan. I usually tend to shy away from buffets and seafood restaurants all together. So why you ask would i have gone to eat here? I went based on many recommendations from family and friends. I have to say, upon entering the restaurant, i was impressed by not only the lovely decor, but the overall cleanliness of the restaurant, and the number of patrons as it was the dinner hour. I ordered hot tea, which to my amazement, arrived at my table piping hot. Upon first glance at the buffet tables, i was extremely taken back. Some of the menu items, particularly the seafood and fish entrees, looked a little questionable to me at first. But, overcoming my anxiety, i decided to venture into unknown food territory and i gave it a try. My compliments to the chef on the sweet and sour chicken, the glazed salmon, the pot stickers, dim sum, and the lo mein. I could tell right away these items were indeed homemade. My all time favorite item actually came at the end of the meal with the desserts. If you have never tried green tea ice cream, i highly recommend it. It's not too overly sweet, and it does not leave you thirsty afterwards. The perfect compliment to a very good meal. Now, there were a few items that i was not impressed with. The vegetables on the buffet were luke warm at best. The white rice was a tad bit dry and undercooked. The sushi was excellent, but prepared on-the-fly and not of the quality i would have expected from a sushi bar. The service was particularly sluggish, which surprised me considering the restaurant appeared to be fully staffed. The soda machine was not working properly, but the server did offer substitute selections. The price certainly reflects the quality and quantity of what you are paying for. Overall, this buffet is right on par with typical selections and expectations you'd expect to find. I would deem it worthy of a second trip in my book.
